Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_gq-ueaUbU When the paths of the 11th Pennsylvania Civil War regiment and an American Staffordshire Terrier pup intertwine, the men of the 11th's lives are changed in ways they never could've predicted. Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? It is about a dog named Sallie who is the mascot of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment of the Civil War. We follow her throughout the entire war and see the war through her eyes as she forms bonds and relationships with the men of the 11th. It is also based on a true story. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Drama, family and history. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? This screenplay should be made into a film because it shows war from a unique perspective that not many others see very often, the point of view from a dog. It also demonstrates why dogs are man's best friend, how they are willing to be there for us during our darkest moments.

He has been called a dog whisperer.      The familiar adage, dogs are a man's best friend, rings true for over half a million households across the United States. According to the Forbes Advisor, 66% of Americans own pets, totaling nearly 89.6 million homes. Of that 89.6 million, 65.1 million are dog owners. (Information based on Pet Ownership Statistics 2024)     The numbers mentioned are based on registered ownership of dogs; however, they don't account for the countless number of people who have picked up strays or acquired a dog from a friend of a friend. Needless to say, owning a dog is a part of American culture, but what's not typical is finding legitimate breeders who take pride in ensuring the animals they breed are worthy of their bloodline. Keith Siler is anything but typical.       Keith is a breeder of the Italian Cane Corso. “The Cane Corso is a large breed originally called Italian Mastiffs. They are a beautiful breed and intelligent protectors,” Keith explains.        The Cane Corso's lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed's name roughly translates from the Latin as ‘bodyguard-dog.' Keith shares he was initially attracted to the Corso because of their beauty and their complex reputation. According to the American Kennel Club, the Cane Corso is smart, trainable, and of noble bearing. They also identify the breed as being assertive, confident, and fearless protectors.        Throughout Keith's life, he has always loved dogs. “As a kid, I always loved animals. It didn't matter if it was a stray mutt or not. I just loved dogs,” Keith explained. “When I was eleven, my mom bought me a pit bull terrier as a pet, and I've had a heart for the breed ever since.”      Keith would begin his breeding journey with the American Pit Bull Terrier and shared that, like the Corse breed, American Pit Bulls are often misunderstood. “Pit Bulls are no more dangerous than any other breed. They require love like all dogs, but most importantly, you have to know how to train the animal.”      In his late teens or early twenties, Keith started to study breeding, and he wanted to become an advocate for the pit bull terrier. “My goal wasn't just to breed the dog but to help save the bloodline. I believed that with proper breeding, I could create a stronger breed of the terrier and help change its reputation,” he shares. The American Pit Bull Terrier was categorized as a fighting dog breed in 19th-century England for just that purpose. The American Kennel Club doesn't recognize it as a distinct breed, but its cousin, the American Staffordshire Terrier, is.      The love of the breed and seeing American Pit Bulls flourish is what has kept Keith going for almost thirty years. During this period, he was faced with the challenge of helping the American Pit Bull Terrier escape its image as a savage fighter. “As a kid, I didn't know what I had. It was a pet, a friend, and a companion to me. It wasn't until I became an adult that I learned what the Pit Bull breed was created for and why people wanted them. I felt like they were given a label because of how people chose to train and use them, not for what they were. For me, they were affectionate, protective, friendly, and playful, and I believed they could gain a different reputation with proper breeding. Yet, no matter what I did. I couldn't seem to move the needle,” he says.      Breeding and boarding animals is an expensive business that can yield big dividends. Still, buyers didn't want to invest in the quality that Keith had poured his soul into. “The biggest issue I came across was that people wanted quality but didn't want to pay for it. I had a good reputation, but because I was from the area, people assumed my dogs were subpar,” Keith explained. “In truth, I was able to achieve my goal of creating a stronger bloodline with the American Pit Bull Terrier, but no one was willing to pay for the quality of the animal.”      A period of rest would settle upon Keith, and he took a ten-year break from the breeding business. As fate would have it, his love for dogs brought him back. “I was disappointed that in all that time, I hadn't succeeded in helping change people's perspective of the Pit Bull. I had to realize that I was only one person. I could only do so much.” Keith shared. “I wanted to give breeding another try because I loved what I did.” This time, he ensured everything would be in place to make his breeding business successful, which involved finding the right dog.       The time arrived when Keith was ready to resume breeding. He had a specific breed in mind. After investing so much into breeding the American Pit Bull and not getting a satisfying return on his investment, his focus changed to another breed of dog. “This time, I had done my research and set my sights on the Presa Canario,” he says.      The Perro de Presa Canario is described as a strong-willed, confident, yet calm breed. It has an excellent reputation for being obedient and docile but suspicious of strangers. Keith says their nature offers a commercial appeal the average dog lover wants. Amazingly, in his effort to procure the Presa Canario, he was redirected when a friend introduced him to the Cane Corso. “I had a lead on a Presa Canario, but it fell through,” Keith explained, “Then, one of my friends, Allen Holmes, called me and enlightened me about the Cane Corso breed. He owned two of them, and he sent me a video, and I was sold.”      Because of the strength and dominance the Cane Corso is born with, potential breeders are encouraged to do their homework. According to the American Kennel Club, at almost 28 inches tall and sometimes weighing more than one hundred pounds, the Corso, with their large heads and rippling muscles, project an imposing and intimidating image. The animal is said to look and think the way a bodyguard would. The breed is intelligent, loyal, and eager to please, yet it can be willful and leave the owner wondering who is the master. For this reason, it's recommended that breeders and owners understand that it is essential to establish dominance early with regular training.        “I was told that if I was serious about breeding these dogs, I needed to do about two years of research and preparation,” Keith says. After completing his research, Keith knew he had found his breed. In 2020, he launched his new breeding business, Siler's Cane Corso's, and hasn't looked back.      Again, Keith loves all dogs, regardless of breed, and his love for the Corso is authentically genuine. He says, “Despite their reputation for being strong-willed and sensitive, these animals are so majestic and intelligent that training them is easy. I now have eight in my kennel, and people are amazed at how well-behaved they are.”      Keith is taking steps to build the reputation needed to be seen as a serious contender in the Corso community. “I have secured my breeder's license and Kennel number. I have also entered several dog shows to get our name out there. My ultimate goal is to make breeding the Corso my only source of income. That's just how much I love working with these dogs,” Keith shares. He also plans to help potential owners by educating them about the importance of continuing and maintaining the lifelong training the Corso requires. “Right now, I breed them, but I plan to expand my Kennel's services and assist people with training.”      As a breeder, Keith must possess a great amount of attention to detail. “Because this breed is so exclusive, sometimes the cost for purchase can be prohibitive. So, I am careful about who I sell the dogs to. I need them to understand the investment they are making when they purchase one of my Cane Corsos,” he says.       As Keith continues to build the Siler Cane Corso brand, he is concerned about how his efforts will benefit the Cane Corso breed's longevity. “Just like the American Pit Bull, I want to bring more awareness to the Cane Corso breed. I want to be intentional about breeding and create something that will continue its bloodline,” he says. These are the true words of a breeder and natural lover of all dogs.     Please click on the link below to read the edition of Huami Magazine that Keith Siler is featured in.  You may also contact Keith Siler at 336-686-4201 https://issuu.com/terrywatson7/docs/triad2_f12f41223ae45c/18?fr=sZDljZjcwMDkyNTg   www.huamimagazine.com

Wenn beim Podcast aufnehmen Wein im Spiel ist, kann man schon mal leicht durcheinander kommen. Es ist die zwölfte und nicht die elfte Folge HOLYDOG. Und Jochen, Matthias, Khaleesi und Snoopy stecken noch die ersten Tage von Promi Big Brother in den Knochen. Ein neuer Tag/Nacht Rhythmus, das verrückte Treiben der Großstadt und die Bemühungen der Hundeeltern ihren 9 Monate alten American Staffordshire Terrier von der gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Maulkorbpflicht befreien zu lassen, hinterlässt Spuren. Und tatsächlich denkt Matthias daran Köln mit beiden Hunden schnell wieder zu verlassen. Warum sich das wie Trennung anfühlt, warum am Kölner Eigelstein die Uhren etwas „anders ticken, ob Snoopy durch eine fachliche Begutachtung um den Maulkorb herumkommt und ob er jemals in die Fußstapfen von Late Night Mops „Gizmo“ treten wird, erfahrt Ihr in dieser neuen und zwölften Folge.

Responsibly Developing New Breeds… What Does That Look Like? The facts are that all but a very, very limited handful of our breeds today have been created by mankind for some purpose. Companionship is a purpose. I would like to introduce you to the Toy Fox Terrier, for example. As society moves away from agrarian and hunter gatherer lives, companion breeds and even new companion breeds are more in demand than ever. Society changes. And I think that when we talk about purebred dogs being living history, in some cases that history is still being made and there are different needs in today's society than there were 100 or 200 years ago. [caption id="attachment_12482" align="alignleft" width="321"] DASH DNJ HOP UWP URO1 EGRCH SB Knightfall SPOT[/caption] Join me for a conversation with Nikki Holcomb about the American Bully. Recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2013, Holcomb is leading the push to responsibly develop this companion breed with health testing, temperament testing, breeding goals, a breed standard and more. “The American Bully is a companion breed,” Holcomb said. “A lot of people, when they see them, will immediately question that. They're like, ‘Are you sure these are dogs in the companion group?' Even when we're at dog shows, we're standing ringside and they're like, ‘Are you sure at the right ring?' And I'm like, ‘I'm absolutely positive.' It's surprising to people, I think, to see a big bulky dog beside a little bichon or a little toy poodle or whatnot, and they're like, well, we just really don't understand. And that's valid. [caption id="attachment_12481" align="alignright" width="358"] MBIS/MRBIS TDBIS MSDBIS VBIS R1 STAR3 RACEN URO1 AP2 VPA UWPO UGWPCH IC-GRCH INT-BCH DGCH ArK9s Noschitt Sherlock DNA-VIP NTD SPOT-ON[/caption] “But I think that American Bullies fill a really important spot. There are people out there that want to have a bigger dog, a little bit bigger than medium size, that can do all of the really fun sports, but they really don't want a working dog. Or maybe they don't want the attitude of a terrier, or they don't want to deal with the baying of a scent hound or the quirks that come with the sight hound. You know, whatever it may be. But they want to sport dog. Or they want a dog that can go on three-mile hikes with them or go swimming at the lake and they're like, well, do I get a small dog or do I just go with some of the things I don't enjoy as much and I think American Bullies do fill that space really well. “They're very easy to train. They're incredibly handler oriented. They're absolutely in love with their people, to the point where they've never met a stranger. Protective is definitely not on their list. A lot of people will see them. They're like, oh, they're guardians. They're 100% not guardians. They're not going to protect you. That burglar coming in the house is their best friend. They're super outgoing, they're fun loving and they love to try everything you know, anything you could do. They're excited to do it.” “The official listing of founding breeds for the American Bully are the American Staffordshire Terrier, the American Pitbull Terrier, Old English Bulldog and English bulldog. [caption id="attachment_12480" align="alignleft" width="307"] Health testing for the American Bully. Infographic by Anissa Shotbolt.[/caption] “I think they really took traits from each of these breeds and really focused on making a dog that could be calm enough and low drive enough to be with a young family, with young kids, or even a first time pet owner.

Verschärfungen bei der Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht, das Absolvieren eines Hundeführscheins und behördliche Bewilligungen für die Haltung bestimmter Hunderassen: Nachdem ein American Staffordshire Terrier in Oberösterreich eine Joggerin getötet und seine Halterin schwer verletzt hat, werden Rufe nach Konsequenzen laut. Denn in Oberösterreich reicht derzeit ein sechsstündiger Sachkunde-Kurs, um diesen Hund halten zu dürfen, und auch ein Maulkorb ist nicht verpflichtend. In anderen Bundesländern dagegen wird der sogenannte „Amstaff“ als Listenhund mit speziellen Haltevorschriften geführt; in Dänemark oder einigen Kantonen der Schweiz ist die Rasse überhaupt verboten. Unterschätzen wir die Gefahr, die von Kampfhunden ausgeht? Sind manche Rassen tatsächlich gefährlicher als andere? Oder liegen Verantwortung und Fehlverhalten ausschließlich im Bereich der Halter? Brauchen wir härtere Gesetze und strengere Kontrollen – oder doch ein komplettes Verbot von Listenhunden? Darüber diskutiert Moderator Michael Fleischhacker mit diesen Gästen: Georg Sticha, HundetrainerInge Eberstaller, Präsidentin des österreichischen DobermannklubsBernd Pierstorff, HundecoachWerner Tomanek, RechtsanwaltVeronika Pfefferkorn-Dellali, Biologin

Jochen und Matthias Bendel leben mit ihren Hunden Khaleesi (8 ) und dem Rentner Mops Gizmo (12) gechillt an der Nordseeküste in Cuxhaven. Jochen vermittelt seit Jahren mit seiner Sendung Haustier sucht Herz Fellnasen aus dem Tierschutz. Er hat dem illegalen Welpenhandel den Kampf angesagt und engagiert sich besonders für diskriminierte Hunde wie Listen- oder Kampfhunde. Matthias ist Sozialpädagoge und hat das Haus der beiden Hundetrainer fast im Alleingang gebaut. Ein Anruf aus dem Tierheim Cuxhaven wirbelt von einem Tag auf den anderen das Leben der beiden komplett durcheinander: Ein gerade mal 6 Monate alter American Staffordshire Terrier, ein Listenhund, wurde abgegeben. Die Zeit rennt, denn um dem „fast noch Welpen“ den belastenden Tierheim Alltag zu ersparen, müsste er sofort adoptiert werden. Jetzt heißt es eine Entscheidung treffen, die definitiv Auswirkungen auf jedes Familienmitglied haben wird. Aber die beiden sagen „Ja“ und geben dem Waisen eine Chance. Eine aufregende neue Phase im Leben der vierköpfigen Familie beginnt. Jochen und Matthias nehmen die Hörer von HOLYDOG jede Woche hautnah, ehrlich und schonungslos mit in ihr neues Leben mit Labrador Khaleesi, Gizmo und Snoopy.

We have the amazing privilege to have Chris Marohn on this episode where he shares a valuable story from early in his career to remind us to surround ourselves with smart people who are willing to disagree with us. Chris illustrates the value of meeting people where they are while taking the time to communicate to people that they are important and that their voices are heard. He advocates for mental health awareness and reminds us that there is a lot of work trauma in many of our past experiences. He shares that we aren't the person that can reach everyone, but we can show them enough love to get them moving in a positive direction. We don't have to do things the way they have always been done and we need to work harder to recognize our own implicit biases. Many don't want to face or even overcome their biases because it would force them to change or leave their comfort zone. We can lead others even those we don't have authority over by showing interest in them and by asking for their sincere help because people want to feel needed and connected and that is why we need to take the time to get to know them and pay attention to the members on our teams so we can help offer them right opportunities to grow at the most opportune time.    Chris started his career in politics. He was encouraged by all those around him to get involved and make the changes he wanted to see in the world. During his high school and undergraduate years, he worked with various political and policy organizations to help farmworkers in the Sacramento Valley. He continued his passion for elimination of bias and anti-racism during his time working at various levels of political campaigning and government. He has served in posts from Washington DC to local city government in the pursuit of equity under the law.   Currently, Chris is working with The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law as the Director of Employer Relations in the Office of Career and Employment Services. Previously, he was the Director of the Continuing Legal Education program at ASU Law. In his current role, Chris, is responsible for Diversity Summer Clerkship hiring and advising. He meets with students of diverse backgrounds encouraging and mentoring them into achieving their legal career goals, while trying to diversify the legal profession. Chris has recently been tasked with overseeing the pipeline to law school program with Phoenix Unified School District, with the focus of helping underserved communities get the tools needed to be successful in law school.   Chris graduated in 2012 from Monterey College of Law in Monterey, California. During this time we worked full time, campaigned for members of congress and local office, was president of the Student Bar Association and local chapter of Delta Theta Phi.   Chris and his wife, Megan, have been married for ten years and are passionate about advocacy in ending Breed Specific Legislation, as they have a loving American Staffordshire Terrier, and coaching Special Olympics Baseball.   Resources & Links: Take Tests on Implicit Bias - Implicit Association Tests https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html    Christopher Marohn - Building Bridges: Tim Overton  https://jrcls.org/articles/building-bridges-tim-overton   Carl Hanson - Something About Mental Health https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/carl-l-hanson/something-about-mental-health/

Bryant Mortimer is a licensed Realtor with BPG Residential, apart of Keller Williams Capital Properties. As a native Washingtonian, Bryant always had a genuine interest in and appreciation for the neighborhoods that make up the Greater Washington Metropolitan Region. From Ivy City to Petworth, Navy Yard to The Palisades, Clarendon to Del Ray, each has its own unique aesthetic. Following graduation from Roanoke College Bryant returned to The District, and moved into a three bedroom row home just off of Anna Cooper Circle in Le Droit Park. Living in this historic neighborhood, founded in the late 19th century with 64 original homes all unique in design, is what triggered his interest in a future in real estate. One thing led to another and life took him down a different path, but after a number of years in a corporate software sales role he decided to transition away from what he likes to call a "sell umm and forget umm" type of transaction to something that is based more on relationship building, trust, and professionalism. When he is not walking neighborhoods with clients, or holding open houses, you can find him playing softball, advocating for the American Red Cross, taking in a Capitals or Nationals game, barbecuing with family and friends, or taking Millie, his American Staffordshire Terrier, out to West Virginia for a weekend in the woods. www.bpgreal.com

Happy Howlidays! This week we cover a very special topic to Kipp's heart, the complicated history of Pitbulls. This episode is a little sadder and darker, but gives us an interesting look into these sweet bowling balls of love. Merry Pitmas to all and to all Pitbulls no more fights!

My best friend was born to kill. It was not her choice, and perhaps not her fault. But she has a history of violence that would make a serial killer squirm.There was the time she ripped open someone's head and left their ear hanging from a string of skin. Or the time that she grabbed her victim's throat so tightly that the screams went silent. It was like someone hit the mute button on a horror movie.But perhaps the worst incident occurred in my own home. I came back to my apartment one day to blood on the kitchen floor. I heard whimpering from the bedroom.“What hell is going on!”I rushed in and saw my best friend's sister on the ground, with her face sliced half open. I rushed her to the hospital where her cheek was surgically rebuilt. The perpetrator showed no remorse for the attack.You might be wondering why I am friends with someone like this. The easiest answer is that my best friend is a dog — to be precise, an American Staffordshire Terrier rescued from a dog fighting circle — and so are her victims.But the easiest answer is often not the best one. And here is the right answer: Lisa is my best friend because she taught me what it means to love.Read Wayne's other writings here (Substack)Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

Quand on dit American Staffordshire Terrier, certains vont automatiquement penser chien méchant, chien féroce, chien dangereux…. Et si tout cela n'était que fausse réputation ?  Depuis plus de 20 ans, il existe en France une loi sur les chiens dits « dangereux », classés en catégorie 1 et 2, une loi qui vise à protéger les humains des chiens réputés mordeurs. Une loi qui paradoxalement, peut laisser croire que l'on ne risque rien avec les autres races, mais grave erreur... et tous les vétérinaires le savent bien, la dangerosité d'un chien ne dépend pas de sa race, mais de son conditionnement. Eva est la fondatrice de l'association Gueules d'Anges, créée en 2014 qui a justement pour but d'expliquer que la dangerosité d'un chien n'est pas en corrélation avec sa race mais bien avec sa lignée, sa socialisation, son éducation et ses relations dans le foyer. L'association organise également des campagnes de prévention, de sensibilisation et d'information sur la législation.  Aujourd'hui, c'est Eva qui nous parle de son vécu avec Iron, son amstaff. D'où nous vient-il ? Quel est son tempérament ? Quelles sont les obligations à respecter pour vivre avec un chien catégorisé ? Elle vous expliquera tout.  En conclusion, si vous souhaitez adopter un chien courageux, stable, loyal et sportif, l'Amstaff est peut-être fait pour vous !  --- Liens mentionnés dans l'épisode  > Pour en savoir plus sur la race : F.A.S.T :https://france-amstaff.fr/  >Vous pouvez suivre Iron sur son compte instagram Irontheamstar   Et l'association Gueules d'Anges sur instagram ou facebook ou enfin leur site internet  -- Préparation et engistrement : Maud Fediere Montage & mixage : Jonathan du podcast Ozef --- Si le podcast vous plait, le meilleur moyen pour me soutenir et pour me le faire savoir, c'est de laisser 5 étoiles et un commentaire sur Itunes  ou apple podcast.

Dans ce nouveau podcast, nous allons aider Svet : Bonjour à toutes et tous. Mon ami et moi nous avons un chiot American Staffordshire Terrier depuis presque 2 mois, le 30 il aura 5 mois. Il se nomme REDJI . Il est très proche de moi. Avec mon ami il a un comportement qui m'interpelle, il lui grogne dessus, lui met des coups de museau, aboie et quand il veut le caresser il essaie de le mordre ou de mordiller mais toujours en remuant la queue. Si vous avez des conseils ou peut-être des explications concernant son comportement je suis preneuse. REDJI est très sociable avec les humains et les autres loulous.

American Pitbull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, und Bullterrier haben eines gemeinsam: Sie stehen in zahlreichen Bundesländern auf der Liste für gefährliche Hunde. Schuld daran ist ihr schlechter Ruf – sie gelten als besonders aggressiv, werden als Sicherheitsrisiko eingestuft. Aber was ist da dran? Sind sogenannte Listenhunde wirklich gefährliche Kampfmaschinen? Und wie sinnvoll ist diese Liste überhaupt? Darüber spricht Felix in dieser Folge mit Sarah Ross von der Tierschutz-Organisation „Vier Pfoten“.

DISCLAIMER: This episode features dogs who decided to bark loudly. Please be cautious when listening with headphones. We thought it would be fun to feature both dogs this episode. Talk about how much joy they bring us, how we'll live longer with them. What we got was a couple hours of barking, pooping, and begging for edamame.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, or the Amstaff, is a Pitbull type dog. What... The post 53 – Why Are You an American Staffordshire Terrier? (feat. Pitbull) appeared first on Why Are You a Dog?.

In dieser retrospektiven Studie über den energetischen Erhaltungsbedarf von Hund und Katze aus der Privattierhaltung wurden Daten aus der Ernährungsberatung des Lehrstuhls für Tierernährung und Diätetik in Oberschleißheim aus den Jahren 2007 bis 2011 ausgewertet, um feststellen zu können, ob die Ergebnisse von den aktuellen Empfehlungen zum Energieerhaltungsbedarf von Hund und Katze (NRC 2006) abweichen. Zur Rationsberechnung wurden ein standardisierter Fragebogen und die Software Dietcheck Munich® verwendet. Die umsetzbare Energie der Futtermittel wurde nach NRC (2006) geschätzt. Energiebedarf des Hundes im Erhaltungsstoffwechsel Es lagen für die Studie Daten von 586 ausgewachsenen Hunden (medianes Alter 5,5 Jahre, mediane Abweichung vom Idealgewicht 0,0 %, 58 % kastriert) zur Verfügung, es handelte sich ausschließlich um Tiere im Erhaltungsstoffwechsel. 9% der Hunde waren vollkommen gesund, die anderen wiesen verschiedene chronische Erkrankungen auf. Es wurde untersucht, welche Faktoren den Energiebedarf bezogen auf das metabolische Körpergewicht beeinflussen könnten. Dabei wurde die Abweichung vom Idealgewicht, die Rasse und die Größe des Hundes, das Alter, das Geschlecht und der Kastrationsstatus, chronische Erkrankungen und die Art der Fütterung (Fertigfutter, selbstzubereitete Ration) im Bezug zur Energieaufnahme der Hunde pro kg W0,75 gesetzt. Eine Abweichung vom Idealgewicht von mehr als 10 % bei den Hunden galt als Unter-, bzw. Übergewicht. Die mittlere Energieaufnahme der Hunde lag bei 98 ± 29 kcal/ kg W0,75. Weder die Körpergröße noch chronische Erkrankungen zeigten einen Einfluss auf den Energieerhaltungsbedarf der Hunde. Auch die Art der Fütterung hatte keine Auswirkung auf den Energiebedarf. Die Einschätzung des Idealgewichts durch die Tierbesitzer stimmte gut mit dem Rassestandard nach Krämer (2002) überein. Es waren nur 11 % der Hunde übergewichtig, 9 % waren untergewichtig und 80 % der Hunde normalgewichtig. Es wurde ein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen der Energieaufnahme übergewichtiger, untergewichtiger und normalgewichtiger Hunde festgestellt (Tabelle 3). Tabelle 3: Effekt von Über- und Untergewicht auf den Energieerhaltungsbedarf des Hundes Gewichtsgruppe N medianes Alter in Jahren mediane prozentuale Abweichung vom Idealgewicht (Angabe des Besitzers) ME-Energiebedarf kcal/ kg W0.75 Mittelwert ± SD Übergewicht 62 7 15,2 86 ± 29a Normalgewicht 478 5 0 98 ± 28b Untergewicht 46 5,5 -14,5 119 ± 38c Mittelwerte aus der gleichen Spalte, die nicht den gleichen hochgestellten Buchstaben aufweisen, sind signifikant unterschiedlich zueinander (ANOVA, Holm-Sidak-Test, p < 0,05) Hunde in einem Alter von mehr als sieben Jahren (n= 149) hatten eine Energieaufnahme, die mit 93 kcal/ kg W0,75 niedriger lag als die Energieaufnahme jüngerer Hunde in einem Alter von weniger als sieben Jahren (n= 313, 100 kcal/ kg W0,75). Intakte Rüden wiesen im Vergleich zu den anderen Hunden einen überdurchschnittlichen Energiebedarf auf (p < 0,001). Es lag ein Unterschied in der Energieaufnahme bestimmter Hunderassen vor. So zeigten Jack Russel Terrier, Dalmatiner, kleine Münsterländer und der Magyar Viszla, sowie der Bearded Collie, Windhunde, der Deutsche Boxer, der Englische Foxhound, der Rhodesian Ridgeback sowie der Flat Coated Retriever einen überdurchschnittlich hohen Energiebedarf, die mittlere Energieaufnahme dieser Rassen lag bei 113 kcal/ kg W0,75. Dackel, sowie Schoßhunde, der Westhighland White Terrier, alle Collie Rassen außer der Bearded Collie, der Airedale Terrier und American Staffordshire Terrier, und auch der Golden Retriever wiesen dagegen eine unterdurchschnittliche mittlere Energieaufnahme von 82 kcal/ kg W0,75 auf. Dies muss nicht unbedingt auf einen tatsächlichen Rasseeffekt hinweisen, sondern kann auch den Lebensstil der Besitzer, die diese Rassen bevorzugen, reflektieren. Der mittlere Energieerhaltungsbedarf von Haushunden ist vergleichbar mit dem Energiebedarf von Laborhunden, die eine geringe spontane Aktivität aufweisen, sowie alten Laborhunden. Dieses Ergebnis lässt vermuten, dass die Möglichkeit und der Anreiz zur Bewegung bei Haushunden, die mit dem Menschen in einem Haushalt leben, niedriger ist als bei Laborhunden. Eine reduzierte Aktivität könnte auch einen nivellierenden Effekt auf mögliche Faktoren wie Alter, Grunderkrankung oder Rasse haben, die in dieser Studie den Energieerhaltungsbedarf der Hunde weniger stark beeinflussten als zu Studienbeginn erwartet. Energiebedarf der Katze im Erhaltungsstoffwechsel In dieser Studie wurden die Daten von 80 ausgewachsenen Katzen im Erhaltungsstoffwechsel (medianes Alter 9,0 Jahre, mediane Abweichung vom Idealgewicht: + 22.5 %, die meisten kastriert) ausgewertet. 6 % der Katzen waren vollkommen gesund, die anderen wiesen verschiedene chronische Erkrankungen auf. Es wurde dabei die Abweichung vom Idealgewicht, das Alter, das Geschlecht, chronische Erkrankungen und die Art der Fütterung (Fertigfutter, selbstzubereitete Ration) auf die Energieaufnahme pro kg W0,67 bezogen. Über- und Untergewicht wurde definiert bei einer Abweichung vom Idealgewicht von mehr als 15 %. Die Angabe des Idealgewichts laut Besitzer wurde mit den Daten aus der Studie von Kienzle und Moik (2011) verglichen. Im Gegensatz zu den Hundebesitzern überschätzten die Katzenbesitzer das Idealgewicht ihres Tieres deutlich. Auf Basis der Daten von Kienzle und Moik (2011) waren 26,3% der Katzen normalgewichtig und 63,7% übergewichtig, während nach Schätzung der Besitzer nur 26% übergewichtig waren. Daher wurde zur weiteren Beurteilung das Idealgewicht der Katzen nach Kienzle und Moik (2011) festgelegt. Die mittlere Energieaufnahme der Katzen lag bei 96 ± 33 kcal/ kg W0.67. Bei den Katzen konnte kein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen der Energieaufnahme kranker und gesunder Katzen festgestellt werden. Des Weiteren hatte das Alter, das Geschlecht oder die Art der Fütterung keinen Einfluss auf die Energieaufnahme der Katzen. Übergewichtige Katzen fraßen nach der aktuellen Studie signifikant weniger als normal- oder untergewichtige Katzen (Tabelle 4). Tabelle 4: Effekt von Über- und Untergewicht auf den Energieerhaltungsbedarf der Katze Normalgewicht Übergewicht Untergewicht kcal ME/ kg W0.67 (n) 110 ± 36X (21) 86 ± 29Y (51) 117 ± 43X (8) Mittelwerte aus der gleichen Zeile, die nicht den gleichen hochgestellten Buchstaben aufweisen, sind signifikant unterschiedlich zueinander (ANOVA, Holm-Sidak-Test, p < 0,05). Der Energieerhaltungsbedarf einer normalgewichtigen Katze entspricht den aktuellen Empfehlungen (NRC 2006), vorausgesetzt das Idealgewicht wird auf Basis der Daten von Kienzle und Moik (2011) festgelegt.

Susan Daffron talks to Chase Inman and Nicole Cook from the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA in Southwest Virginia about two dogs who are available for adoption. Tattoo is a male neutered American Staffordshire Terrier mix with huge soulful brown eyes and a pretty reddish brown coat. He has a very round face, so he might have some bulldog in there somewhere too. Tattoos best canine buddy at the SPCA is another AmStaff mix named Elvira, who has a fawn-colored coat and white markings. These two wonderful dogs would fit in well in just about any home. The volunteer dog walkers all love these two friendly dogs -- fans and supporters range from elementary school age to retirees. Both Tattoo and Elvira are about two years old. The SPCA doesn't know too much about their history because they came into the SPCA from other facilities after being picked up as strays. If you're looking for all around great dogs who walk beautifully on leash, you won't find a nicer pair of dogs than Tattoo and Elvira!

Susan Daffron talks to Cynthia Farrell from Pet Haven in Minnesota about a dog named Bishop who is available for adoption. Bishop is one of those "Heinz 57" dogs who looks like he has some American Staffordshire Terrier in him, but also probably a mix of other breeds too. He is a dark blonde with a cute white stripe on his note and light tummy. Bishop is around a year old now and has been in Pet Haven's foster care program since June of 2008. When he was just 4 months old, he was rescued with a number of other dogs from a hoarding situation. Since he's been in foster care, Bishop has been through two obedience classes and the transformation in his behavior has been amazing. Bishop is a total people lover, and loves to be the center of attention. Because he's young and still a bit of a puppy, Bishop is an exuberant boy who likes nothing better than chasing tennis balls and playing. Ideally, Bishop is looking for a home where he can receive a lot of attention from an owner who wants a great canine buddy to hang out with. Although Bishop is crate trained and used to being left alone for up to a full work day, he would appreciate lunch-time outings. Bishop would also benefit from an owner who is willing to continue his obedience training. Another training class will help Bishop bond with his new family. Won't you take a leap of faith and see how perfectly wonderful Bishop might be for you?
