Red Barn Bully Sticks, Great Treat!

My dogs love these bully sticks, they are made in U.S.A.

These lightly smoked, natural beef muscles are roasted in their natural juices.
Highly palatable, this treat becomes chewy when wet, helps keep teeth clean
and provides hours of long lasting enjoyment.

Blue Reflex

Dogs have a special reflective layer in the 

back of the eye termed the tapetum, which 

enhances nocturnal vision. Light passes 

through the animal's retina from outside 

of the eye and is then reflected back through 

the retina a second time from the reflective 

tapetal layer beneath the retina. This double 

stimulation of the retina helps these species 

to see better than humans do in dim light 

situations.  The color of this tapetal layer 

varies to some extent with an animal's coat 

color. A black Labrador retriever, for 

example, will usually have a green tapetal 

reflection. A buff Cocker spaniel will generally 

show a yellow tapetal reflection. Most dogs 

have a blue tapetal reflection.

Keeping your Standard Schnauzers Ears Clean and Hair Free

Did you know if you keep your Standard Schnauzer's ears free of hair and clean you can prevent most ear infections?  A Standard Schnauzer does not shed like other breeds they grow their "hair" similar to humans and require a reasonable amount of grooming.   Removing the hair that grows in their ear canals is an important aspect of preventing infections.  Over the years I have used several different products and methods but have developed a technique that is easy and works well.

• I first always use ear powder it gives just the right grip to pull ear hair by hand, you get a better idea of how you dog will tolerate this procedure and doing it by hand decreases the chance of injury.  Sprinkle a moderate amount of the ear powder into the ear canal and gently pull a few strands at a time this way you can clear quite a bit of the hair before you have to move to using tweezers.  Below is just one brand of ear powder there are several on the market.  

• Next I use my favorite tweezers that give the best control, you can usually find these in any drug store, I prefer the brands that have a slanted tip, it makes it easier to work with deep ear canals.  

• Next I use this bandaid antiseptic wound wash, it is "hurt free", and it gets the job done.

• Of course you will need a Standard Schnauzer ear.

Starting your puppy off with proper ear care will help condition him/her to the process.  This process should not hurt your puppy if it does then you are probably pulling too much hair at one time and need to decrease the amount you are trying to remove at one time.  Remember you should aim at removing all visible hair from the canal and surrounding outer portion of the ear. This can actually be a pleasant procedure, I will frequently lay a towel down on my lap while the puppy or dog rests their head down on the towel, it becomes a routine that they should not mind.

According to The American Kennel Club

The Standard Schnauzer is:

A medium-sized working breed, the Standard Schnauzer is sturdy and athletic, known for his arched eyebrows and bristly mustache and whiskers, the hallmark of the breed. Today, he can be seen in the conformation and performance rings and also serving as a therapy, service and search and rescue dog. The breed’s harsh, wiry coat must be salt and pepper or black.

A Look Back
The oldest of the three schnauzer breeds (and the prototype for the Giant and Miniature versions), the Standard Schnauzer originated in Germany. He guarded the family and livestock, rid the farmyard of vermin, and protected his owners as they traveled to market. The breed’s name comes from the beard and moustache on his muzzle ("schnauze" in German).

Right Breed for You?
Sociable and affectionate, Standard Schnauzers become true members of their families and especially love children. Naturally protective, they will also alert members of the household to any potential danger. The breed is very intelligent but can be strong-willed, so it’s beneficial to start training early and provide daily opportunities for exercise. The Standard Schnauzer’s beard and leg hair should be brushed often to prevent mats from forming. The body coat should be "stripped" (loose, dead hair is plucked out) at least twice a year(2011, AKC).
