Chinois Chinese Cresteds (Australia)

The truth comes in three stages.
First, it is ridiculed
Second, it is violently denied
Third, in time it becomes self evident

This page covers
NATURAL REARING - RAW DIET
TOPICAL POISONS
If you are genuinely interested in and concerned for
the long term health of your Crested puppy/dogs, please study this
page in depth.

I consider Chinese Cresteds to be my vocation in life. I love to have young animals about me.
With the arrival of a new baby there is ever the hope that 'this' one will be the next Chinois showdog,
the next Chinois Best in Show prospect. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt, but no matter what,
each puppy is treated with tender loving care, and its
every need is met, physically and emotionally.

I am available for advice/help to new puppy parents 24/7.
Most times, I only hear from people when there is a problem but they fail to let me know if all is well!

CRAPPLE (oooops, kibble!)
The rubbish the industry shovels into kibble and other commercial foods as filler are made up of floor
sweepings, feathers, and other garbage not fit for consumption. By-products, by industry definition can
be good or bad – in the pet food industry they are inherently bad. Raw feeders don’t feed by-products, they
feed whole foods and chicken feet, necks, etc. and are all whole foods because they are purchased for exactly
what they are – they have not been altered and they are not being cooked into something else. The use of
grains such as corn, soy and wheat are responsible for many health issues in dogs, not to mention the appalling
number of deaths a couple of years ago when melanin from China was found to be used as a filler.

The history of kibble for those who don't know is

and why dogs should eat raw:

http://www.kriegshundgsds.com/Raw_Diet.html

Therefore, sometime ago I made the decision to remove all kibble and processed food from my
dogs' diet and feed 100% fresh, raw and natural.

Their diet now consists of chicken necks and wings, chicken quarters, lamb and beef hearts
and liver, tripe, mutton flaps, brisket bones, yoghurt, eggs. I enjoy shopping for the dogs, but
even more I enjoy the enjoyment they are getting from meal time.

The fresh, raw, natural diet, in addition to plenty of exercise and sunshine, ensures the
dogs are fit, healthy and happy. Below are some links you might care to look at.

and one of the greatest benefits of a raw diet and meaty bones
is a clean and healthy mouth/teeth, so important for ensuring a healthy heart and
poison-free system, all of which promote longevity in our best friends...........

I urge anyone with a dog or considering getting a dog to research the raw
method of feeding and then make their own considered decision. Your dog will thank you
for it. Your vet will not.

Going hand in glove with the adoption of the fresh, raw food diet is the complete and utter aversion to

chemicals being used on and in the dogs, such as the spot on flea treatments and vaccinations.

The former are having a cumulative effect, often resulting in seizures and other neurological disorders.

Be thankful to find a breeder who genuinely cares for the lifelong health
of their puppies.

Duration of Immunity study showing immunity lasts up to 15 years for some of

Again, do your own research about this very important issue,
and make up your own mind.
The damage that vaccines cause to dogs' health is mind-boggling and criminal.

Spread the word around as far and wide. Be vary careful about
what you use on your dogs and cats. Even normal vaccinations are killing them
and causing other health issues, even death.

Each baby is carefully planned and eagerly awaited.

Once their eyes are opened, they are moved from the quiet room in which they were born into the living room where they become used to all the normal household activities, very important for the best socialisation of a puppy.

As the weeks pass, the puppies are bathed
regularly, their nails are trimmed, their faces
are trimmed, and they become accustomed
to having their hair combed, all in preparation
for the day when they will either be a show
dog or a companion to some lucky family.

A new puppy is a commitment, not something to be entered into casually, or lightly
They require a duty of care, to be nurtured and loved with their emotional and physical needs met.
Their first days in a new home are very
important; everything is very different to what they have been used to. Great care
should be taken to ensure they eat properly, sleep well, and are handled carefully and not stressed in any way.

It is published. Finally, the shocking pet food laboratory testing results have been published in
Spectroscopy Magazine. Now it is time for concerned Pet Owners to shout from the
rooftops...there's toxic levels of lead, mercury, even nuclear waste in some pet foods!

Pet Owners now have the published scientific evidence. The published scientific
evidence that some commercial pets foods contain a lot more than the advertised
choice cuts of meat and fresh vegetables. Some pet foods contain toxic
levels of arsenic, lead, mercury, and even nuclear waste.

Quoting the Paper "Analysis of Toxic Trace Metals in Pet Foods Using
Cryogenic Grinding and Quantitation by ICP-MS, Part 1" published in the January 2011 Spectroscopy Magazine...

"For this investigation 58 cat and dog foods were bought from local stores or
donated by the authors and other pet owners. The samples consisted of 31 dry
food and 27 wet food varieties. Of the 31 dry foods, 18 were dog food and 13 were
cat food samples. The wet foods comprised 13 dog food and 14 cat food samples,
representing pet food contained in cans and pouches."

"Pet food prices ranged from the “bargain” store foods priced at $0.02/oz to gourmet or
specialty foods purchased from pet suppliers priced at $0.42/oz. Three canned foods for
human consumption were tested, including tuna fish, sardines, and chicken, which were
sampled for comparison and control purposes."

"The analysis of all the pet food samples showed that the highest concen¬trations
of toxic elements were found in the dry foods of both cats and dogs. Out of the elements
studied, dry food had the highest elemental content for 13 of the 15 elements
examined. Dog food had the highest result for nine of the 15 toxic elements and cat food
had the highest concentration for six of the 15 elements."

"The dry dog food contained the highest concentrations of the following elements:
beryllium, cad¬mium, cesium, antimony, thorium, thallium, uranium, and vanadium.
The wet dog foods contained lower concentrations of the toxic elements
studied than the dry dog foods. The dry cat foods contained the highest results for five of
the 15 elements including arsenic, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and lead. The
wet cat foods showed the overall lowest concentrations of the toxic elements
studied than any of the other pet foods studied."

"The presence of several other elements in some of the pet food samples was
unexpected. Uranium, beryllium, and thorium are often associated with nuclear
energy and mining. As stated earlier, concentrations of over 500 μg/kg of
uranium were found in several of the dry dog food samples. A few of the dry cat
food samples had concentrations of over 200 μg/kg of uranium. In these samples
of high uranium concentrations, there were also found to be the highest
concentrations of both beryllium and thorium."

"Part II of this article will examine in detail the data shown in Tables IV–XI and
will calculate the toxic metal exposure levels of the pets on a daily basis,
based on typical size portions. It also will look for a correlation with the
cost of the individual pet foods. The exposure levels will then be compared
with EPA and WHO risk assessment values generated for the human
population, scaled to the weight of a medium-sized dog or an average-sized cat."

Spex CertiPrep President Ralph Obernauf (a pet owner who lost his dog
questionably early) provided TruthaboutPetFood.com with the abstract of their

Conclusions published in the abstract...
"Toxic Element Exposure for Cats"
"A 10-lb cat eating 1 cup a day (100 g) of dry food or 1 small can of wet food (175 g) with the
maximum contamination would be consuming about:
29 mcg (micrograms) Arsenic (greater than 20 times Reference Dosage limit)
13 mcg Cadmium (greater than 3 times the Reference Dosage limit)
17 mcg Mercury (greater than 30 times the Reference Dosage limit)
42 mcg Uranium (greater than 3 times the Reference Dosage limit)"
"Dry cat food contained more contamination which exceeded human
Reference Dosage guidelines than wet cat food."
