arcbay:
The word "breeder" is somewhat cumbersome as most of we Nigerians have another definition for "dog breeding".

Buying and rearing dogs is different from dog breeding, and from what I gathered from the conversation between u and kchaste, I understand you actually intend to rear dogs and produce puppies.

Well, dog rearing is easy, just buy several breeds of dogs, mate them when they come on heat, sell the puppies when they're of age and wait for the next heat again.

But bros, sure you know there's a difference between a Tailor and a Fashion designer just like there's a difference between a Shoe maker and a Cobbler.

well said.

i think i'll like to be a part of it.

I think doing the following will help you.


1. Visit the Veterinarian.

2. Physical Exercise.

An unmotivated dog needs attention. All
healthy dogs benefit from a brisk, half-hour,
daily walk on a leash. Go to the park, walk
around the neighborhood or, if your dog is
more than 18 months old, take him for jog.
In a fenced area, play fetch, teach him to jump or have him swim with you. However,
take into consideration your dog's age, size
and breed. For example, an older
Labradoodle is prone to arthritis and hip
dysplasia, so a 10-minute walk might be
sufficient. Short walks and smaller bouts of play are best for a bulldog or pug. His flat
nose makes it difficult to breathe, especially
in warm weather.

3.Mental Exercise

Stimulate the laziness out of your dog with
hide-and-seek and retrieval games. Long-
lasting bones, rope toys with knots at the
end and hard rubber chew toys with a treat
inside keep dogs distracted, challenged and
entertained. Another way to engage your dog is through obedience classes and
training exercises. Consider instituting clicker
training, using a sound to get your dog to do
something, for 5 minutes a day. Obedience
training, such as learning commands on cue,
stimulates a dog's mind because it keeps him guessing which command he'll obey next.

4.Establish a Routine

Dogs do best on a routine. It allows the dog
control over his emotions and environment
because he knows what to expect next.
Feeding, potty trips, walks and crate time are
all activities that should be done at roughly
around the same time every day. When your dog's brain is stimulated, he'll look forward
to his activities and desire your
companionship, physical exercise and mental
challenges.

I hate dogs

why?

.....had to share this.


There are hundreds of official dog breeds in the world and even more mixes and mutts than we can count. Each dog has his own unique set of characteristics and personality. But one thing is certain – these loveable and wonderful companions are fascinating creatures.

Check out some of these interesting and far-out facts about dogs.

1. Is it a duck…or a dog? The Newfoundland breed has a water resistant coat and webbed feet. This dog was originally bred to help haul nets for fishermen and rescuing people at risk of drowning.

2. It pays to be a lap dog. Three dogs (from First Class cabins!) survived the sinking of the Titanic – two Pomeranians and one Pekingese. Source: Vetstreet

3. A Beatles hit. It’s rumored that, at the end of the Beatles song, “A Day in the Life,” Paul McCartney recorded an ultrasonic whistle, audible only to dogs, just for his Shetland sheepdog. Source: PBS

4. Wow, check out those choppers! Puppies have 28 teeth and normal adult dogs have 42. Source: About.com

5. Chase that tail! Dogs chase their tails for a variety of reasons: curiosity, exercise, anxiety, predatory instinct or, they might have fleas! If your dog is chasing his tail excessively, talk with your vet.

6. Seeing spots? Or not… Dalmatian puppies are pure white when they are born and develop their spots as they grow older. Source: Vetstreet

7. Dogs do dream! Dogs and humans have the same type of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) and during this REM stage dogs can dream. The twitching and paw movements that occur during their sleep are signs that your pet is dreaming Source: Healthy Pet

8. No night vision goggles needed! Dogs’ eyes contain a special membrane, called the tapetum lucidum, which allows them to see in the dark. Source: Healthy Pet

9. Pitter patter. A large breed dog’s resting heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, and a small dog breed’s heart beats between 100-140. Comparatively, a resting human heart beats 60-100 times per minute. Sources: About.com and Mayo Clinic

10. If your dog’s acting funny, get out the umbrella! According to a Petside.com/Associated Press poll, 72% of dog owners believe their dog can detect when stormy weather is on the way.

11. It’s not a fever…A dog’s normal temperature is between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. How much do you know about dog health? Take our Doggy First Aid Quiz! Source: Web MD

12. Is something wet? Unlike humans who sweat everywhere, dogs only sweat through the pads of their feet. Source: Healthy Pet

16. Why are dogs’ noses so wet? Dogs’ noses secrete a thin layer of mucous that helps them absorb scent. They then lick their noses to sample the scent through their mouth. Source: Vetstreet

20. Did you hear that? Sound frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). The higher the Hertz, the higher-pitched the sound. Dogs hear best at 8,000 Hz, while humans hear best at around 2,000 Hz. Source: Whole Dog Journal

21. Express yourself. Dogs’ ears are extremely expressive. It’s no wonder! There are more than a dozen separate muscles that control a dog’s ear movements. Source: Whole Dog Journal

22. Growing up. While the Chow Chow dogs are well known for their distinctive blue-black tongues, they’re actually born with pink tongues. They turn blue-black at 8-10 weeks of age. Source: Vetstreet

23. Why do they do that? When dogs kick after going to the bathroom, they are using the scent glands on their paws to further mark their territory. Source: Healthy Pet

24. No, it’s not just to make themselves look adorable. Dogs curl up in a ball when they sleep due to an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and protect their abdomen and vital organs from predators. Source: Vetstreet

25. Breathe easy. In addition to sweating through their paw pads, dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400 breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort. Source: Vetstreet

Today, i'll be talking about the common figures of speech.
List of Figure of Speech and Examples.

what does that really mean? A figure of speech is just that – figurative language. It might be words with a literal meaning, a certain arrangements of words, or a phrase with a meaning that is something entirely other than that of the words themselves. Figures of speech can be refreshing and fun, but for some – especially those who are not native English speakers – a figure of speech can be very confusing.

Here are some of the most common figures of speech and what they mean.
1. Alliteration: This is a very common figure of speech that involves using words that begin with the same sound. For instance, “Sally sells sea shells by the seashore” is alliteration – and try saying it fast to see how difficult it is! It is often used in advertising slogans to create something catchy that more people will remember.
2. Anaphora: This figure of speech uses a specific clause at the beginning of each sentence or point to make a statement. For instance: “Good night and good luck” is an example of the beginning word being the same. The more it is used, the more of an emotional effect is can evoke among those who are listening. Another example is "Mad world! Mad kings! Mad composition!" from King John, II, I by William Shakespeare.
3. Assonance: Remember the phrase “I Like Ike”? It was a very common phase for those who supported Dwight Eisenhower during his presidential run. This is a figure of speech that focuses on the vowel sounds in a phrase, repeating them over and over to great effect.
3. Hyperbole: “It was as big as a mountain! It was faster than a cheetah! It was dumber than a rock!” This figure of speech makes things seem much bigger than they really were by using grandiose depictions of everyday things. Hyperbole is often seen as an exaggeration that adds a bit of humor to a story.
4. Irony: This figure of speech tries to use a word in a literal sense that debunks what has just been said. “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” from Dr. Strangelove is a great example. It is often used to poke fun at a situation that everyone else sees as a very serious matter. There are different types of irony and here are the details and examples.
5. Metaphor: The use of metaphor compares two things that are not alike and finds something about them to make them alike. “My heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill” from a book by William Sharp is a good example of metaphor. Some writers try to use this style to create something profound out of comparing two things that appear to have nothing at all in common. 6. Simile: In this figure of speech, two things are compared that are not really the same, but are used to make a point about each other. “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get” is a famous line from the movie Forrest Gump that illustrates the simile. This is often used to make an emotional point about something. The difference between simile and metaphor is that you can obviously see words "like" in the sentence.
7. Metonymy: In this figure of speech, one word that has a very similar meaning can be used for another. Using the word “crown” for “royalty” or “lab coats” for “scientists” are two examples. In some ways it can be seen as a nickname for something else; for instance, “The White House said” doesn’t actually mean the White House said it (a house can’t speak!) but that the President said it. However, we all understand the meaning, and so the words are interchangeable.
8. Onomatopoeia: This is the use of a word that actually sounds like what it means. Good examples include “hiss” or “ding-dong” or “fizz.” These words are meant to describe something that actually sounds very much like the word itself. This is a trick often used in advertising to help convey what something is really like.
9. Paradox: This figure of speech completely contradicts itself in the same sentence. Famous quotes that illustrate this from George Orwell’s “1984” include: “War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery.” Though we know these things aren’t true, they present an interesting paradox that makes a person think seriously about what they have just read or heard. 10. Personification: This is a way of giving an inanimate object the qualities of a living thing. “The tree quaked with fear as the wind approached” is an example; “The sun smiled down on her” is another. This can sometimes be used to invoke an emotional response to something by making it more personable, friendly and relatable.
