An Alligator for an Exotic
There are many of us who consider our pets as part of the family, and this is evidenced by a recent statistic that states 65% of all U.S. homes own at least one pet. Along with this increase in pet ownership comes the need for services tailored for our pet’s comfort.
Getting an Alligator for an Exotic Pet
Baby alligators have been popular as exotic pets. They can be bought in special pet stores and souvenir shops. Some states have made rules against taking care of alligators.
But if you are still keen on getting one as pet, read on the things below so you'll know what to do or what to expect.
You need a special license to buy an alligator. In Florida for example, this is being practiced. There are laws regulating alligators that are taken as pets. People who wish to buy an alligator shouldn't only be licensed. They should also know exactly what they are doing. Taking an alligator from its natural habitat isn't allowed in some States. Before you go to the wild and get an alligator, check the local laws of the state first. There are states that don't allow it entirely. And some even control the feeding and harassing of alligators.
Alligators require a large habitat. An alligator can grow to as long as 12 feet, which is about average. Some species can even grow longer than that. That being the case, you have to make an alligator pen for them, maybe in your backyard, as big as thrice its size.
Many people are in search of the perfect pet. Whether you are single, newly married, married with four children, or about to retire, there are some things to consider when you begin looking to include a pet into your family. When you think of having a pet, you most likely think you have to choose between having a dog or a cat, but in reality there are countless animals that can become ideal pets.

Caring for Pet Ferrets
Caring for Pet Ferrets
The rich and famous are known for starting all types of trends and one of the latest is using pets for fashion accessories. Famous for nothing Paris Hilton and pop starlet Britney Spears are just a few of the individuals in the limelight carrying small pocket sized pets as accessories. However, while this trend seems to be taking off and many stars as well as the not so famous have purchased pets to accessorize their wardrobes it really is not a trend that the general population should follow.
Caring for Pet Ferrets
Ferrets may not be a common animal choice for pets, but these critters have been domesticated by humans since way back in 4 BC. Many people find ferrets nice to have and as easy to keep, if not easier, as other typical pets like dogs and cats. Here are some basic tips about caring for ferrets. What are exotic pets like..
Making a Home for the Ferret
Ferrets prefer living in spaces that resemble dens in the wild. A wired cage that is about 30 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 18 inches long may suffice. Many ferrets like living in cages that have things to climb such as ramps and stairs. The cage should allow good ventilation, thus it is not wise to use aquariums. The floor may be covered by linoleum tiles and carpets or other soft washable materials to make the flooring more comfortable for ferrets to walk on than wire floors. The cage should be kept within 55 to 70 degrees. It should also be cleaned regularly with hot soapy water.
Feeding Ferrets
Ferrets are carnivores that require at least 22% fat and 34% protein from animal sources. It isn't recommended to feed them dog or cat food. Chicken and turkey are ideal. Ferrets should never be fed vegetables because they are difficult to digest. Fruits are also not an option because sugars may increase tendencies for insulinoma. Egg whites should also be avoided because they can cause hemolytic anemia.

Taming Exotic Pets
Taming Exotic Pets
The largest industry leader is still pet supply, and companies like PetCo and PetSmart are the leading forces, providing everything from pet foods to grooming. Companies like these have evolved because their services are based on the growth of the pet population, and our need to make our pets feel like a family member.
Taming Exotic Pets To Maintain Their Suitability As Pets
Two things may happen when taming an exotic pet. Either you, as the owner, feels great when you succeed in doing so or you may be harmed when otherwise happens. What are exotic pets like?
Many veterinarians are, in fact, against taking care of exotic animals as pets. They believe that they are simply born not to become one and are, by nature, dangerous. They carry diseases with them and behave not in synchrony with human beings. Their behaviors are likewise generally unpredictable which further makes taming extremely difficult. At times, even if they were tamed as babies, in the long run, they still end up as wild animals. These remain to be the beliefs of most experts yet exotic pet owners don't seem to decrease in number. Many still do their best to tame their pets.
If you are already an exotic pet owner or are planning to be one, it would be wise to know the animal’s background. Ask the pet shop owner when it was born, where it came from, what it usually eats, and things like these. Ask if it came from the wild or if it was bred in captivity. This type of information will somehow help you in identifying the best way of approaching your pet. Try to dig out as well if it has previously manifested a negative behaviour. If there were already several instances of aggression in the past, then taking it home may not be a good idea. The bottom line here is that you have to be choosy at the very start since such will be the beginning of a long-term complex relationship.

Persian cat: Chocolate and Lilac color
Persian cat: Chocolate and Lilac color
I, as an owner, breeding Persians and exots, pose myself such a problem quite recently. Of, course they exist, if to see from genetic point of view. These colors are included into standard, there is their description, but... Where are they? By all accounts from abroad, they have such animals but for some reason they are more often met in pedigrees of British cats as experimental partners for leading new color into the breed, but not like exhibition stars. It had to spent lots of time to answer the question: "What is the real situation with Lilac and Chocolate in the Persian group?"
The paradox came to light at once: there is enough big number of Points with Chocolate and Lilac masques and practically full absence of equally colored individuals. Probably, the fashion played its role in it. After all, from the genetic point of view Lilac-Point color is more difficult in receiving than, for example, Chocolate Solid (solid-monochromatic, "firm" colour). Now, thanks to fashion‘s jokes, selectionists are forced to word for word take out Chocolate and Lilac either from Solid-carriers CRC (carriers of Color-Point gene) or to work simpliciter with color lines, making copulations Solids (moreover it is desirable of stronger type) with Colors and further interbreeding on the Color parents. Such copulations are made for a long time, but purposeful selection are begun recently in this direction.
Only several breeding nurseries work today in this direction:
This is JUKI in Poland. It is world-famous nursery. But again they have Chocolate and Lilac not like purpose of selection, but like a side effect of Color-Points‘ breeding of modern type.
This is Smaragd in Estonia, which specializes in Persian and Exotic cats of Lilac color and uses in the work cats from JUKI and Finnish nurseries.
Lilac cat of strong type, reached high victories by FIFE system. Pedigree program of the nursery is various and includes copulations with Chocolate sires.
This is Tair Polling in Ukraine, using also bloods of JUKI, but specializing, vice versa, only in Chocolates and Tabbys. You can see first kittens from this oldest Kharkov nursery in Moscow.
This is club Irbis (FIFE) in Krasnodar, working at the Colors‘ bloods and carriers of Chocolate. Today the nursery Rarity of one sire, cat of Lilac color. Now you can see the first Lilac prosterity of show-quality.
The nursery Kelisa in Sochi is the nursery of Chocolate Persians. Prosterity of the same type, thought-out pedigree program. The nursery plans the receiving of Lilac Exots and the perfection of the type.
Several animals of Chocolate color appeared in Russia and Ukraine, but you can‘t see the result of breeding yet. Or these cats still too young, or the pedigree program is not thought out, giving a soon result. Chocolate Exot of Kharkov bloods lives in Saint Petersburg (owner is Orlova S.), also the city on Neva can boast of Chocolate Color-Point, imported from Poland, one more Exot from Kharkov is purchased by the nursery Dimarsh (Moscow).
Ther are animals of modern type in Perm and Voronezh, but because of their remoteness from the capital or passivity of the owners we have a few information about them.
The nursery Alexander-Fred (Moscow) has three Chocolate Persian cats ( of different blood lines), one Chocolate Exot, Chocolate Cream cat, and also several cats-carriers of chocolate gene. The nursery plans the receiving of Chocolate and Lilac Bicolor cats. The nursery leads common pedigree program with Kelisa (Sochi).
Several enthusiasts in Moscow started the breeding of Chocolate and Lilac Persians, but probably they either didn‘t have enough means to purchase interesting sires or purposefully decided to go all the way of coming-into-being of animals‘ type, who originally received chocolate color by the way of interbreeding.

Rottweillers : A Guide to the breed
Rottweillers : A Guide to the breed:
While the true history of the Rottweiller is a little unclear it is thought that it is an ancient breed whose history stretches back to the Roman Empire. In those times the ancestors of the Rottweiller were used by the Roman Legions to herd and drive their cattle across the Alps. It is probable that early Rottweillers are connected to the Greater Swiss Mountain dog and Entelbuchers which also have Roman connections.
One route travelled by the Romans was thorough Wurttemberg, Germany and on to the small market town of Rottweil which became an important cattle area and was where these dogs were crossed with local sheepdogs to create the ‘Rottweiller Metzgerhund’ or the Rottweil Butcher’s Dog. These Rottweillers were used by Butchers to guard their livestock.
By the end of the 19th century the breed had declined a great deal due to the outlawing of cattle driving in Germany and in 1900 there was only one female Rottweiller in the town of Rottweil. The beginning of the First World War in 1914 saw the return to favour of the breed as there was a great demand for them as police dogs. During this period they proved their great physical and mental abilities.
After this period the Rottweiller breed became popular with dogs owners and they entered the United States in the 1930’s and were accepted in their kennel club in 1935 and into the British kennel club and exhibited at Crufts the following year. In 1966 a separate register was opened for the breed.
The Rottweiller is an intelligent dog but also very dominant, it is a must for any owner to encourage socialisation and provide firm and consistent training at a young age by a calm handler. They grow to become very loyal to their handlers and people they are familiar with and will defend them to the end. The breed is very sensitive to the human voice so this can be used to some advantage when praising the dog.

Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
In dogs, Parvovirus should be suspected whenever puppies are presented with lethargy, vomiting, &/or loose stools especially if there is blood in the stool (a hemorrhagic enteritis). Puppies 6 to 16 weeks of age are the most susceptible. This is due to the fact that puppies younger than this are usually protected by maternal antibodies they received in the mother’s milk (colostrum). Older dogs have acquired immunity from vaccination or previous exposure and may not show significant clinical illness if they do become infected. Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and English Springer Spaniels seem to be at greater risk for severe disease, but we see this devastating disease an all species of dogs.
CPV infects rapidly dividing cells of the intestine, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues. The rapidly dividing cells of the intestine reside in valleys of the intestinal mucosal lining known as crypts. These cells then migrate to cover the hills of the mucosa known as villi. The virus is capable of severe enough damage to result in necrosis (cell death) of the intestinal crypt cells and this leaves no cells to cover the villi. The villi essentially are ulcerated, collapse, and digestive function is lost. Tremendous amounts of blood components and fluids are lost across this ulcerated mucosa and toxins and bacteria may be free to pass from the intestinal lumen to the bloodstream.
Rapidly dividing cells are also found in the bone marrow and the virus attacks these resulting in a drop in the dog’s white blood cell count. Both lymphocytes and neutrophils are affected (these are types of white blood cells). Neutrophils are the predominant white blood cell found in circulation and function as part of the rapid first line of defense against infection. CPV infection causes low neutrophil counts by cell injury in the bone marrow and due to depletion of circulating cells responding to the tremendous amount of damage to the intestinal wall. The lower the white blood cell count, the worse the illness and counts less than 3000 mean the dog is not able to defend against bacteria found in the digestive tract and the environment.
