The following essay is derived from Wildlife Damage Management faq#937
Leaves, stems & buds of woody plants,Fruits & nuts especially acorns are very important. Grasses are relatively unimportant. Agricultural crops - corn,soybeans, small grains, Alfalfa, vegetables and fruit trees-are readily eaten when available..........If you recall on Monday 5/5/2008 I wrote an essay called Stomach Contents Examined In The Wolf. This essay was based on The Wolves of North America by Young & Goldman. Also influenced by Lois Crisler's Artic Wild. |

The recent argument between the BBC & The Crufts Kennel Club is not a good situation.However, good things may develop as a result of the disagreement. I realize breeders are passionate about their dogs. However, passion is frequently blinding & should rarely be confused with reality or the truth. |

Received a copy of the "Total Rottweiler Magazine," issue #1. I was pleased to see dogs with cheek muscles. I have always liked that look & could never understand why masseter muscles were not desirable in Rottis. Another item that will help improve the Rottweiler breed (in my opinion) & is also featured in the magazine, is competitive weight pulling & carting. The Rottweiler is first & foremost a drafting dog. Why not predicate breeding decisions on a more breed specific event, as opposed to events designed for the GSD? If Rottweilers were drafted for speed, distance & power you would have better breed balance & improved health. (In my opinion) Perhaps breeding to the best drafting Rottweilers would improve genetic hip issues? The "Total Rottweiler Magazine" appears to be a good read! |

I get many calls each month regarding the Swinford Bandogge. This cross was certainly part of my history. However, I no longer breed this cross. Many of you know we are contemplating the construction of a kennel-sport facility. However,breeding the Swinford dog is not being considered. Although the calls are friendly & flattering, please do not contact me regarding this topic. Fondest Regards, Martin |
