Single CC

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

What do we think of the single CC, not just for Maltese but for any breed? Can anyone guess at what it’s meant to achieve apart from reducing the rewards on offer and are we still happy to pay the same entry fee for this reduced reward?

Is Garlic good for dogs?

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. Sanskrit records show its medicinal use about 5,000 years ago, and it has been used for at least 3,000 years in Chinese medicine. The Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans were known to have harnessed the healing properties of garlic as well. According to the Whole Dog Journal, small amounts of garlic not only act as a natural flea repellant, but garlic can be used for its wonderful antifungal and antibacterial properties. It also promotes the production of white blood cells thereby acting as an immune booster for dogs with low or compromised immunity and may benefit dogs with diabetes by helping reduce blood-sugar levels.
