Bon, bon... Maddox n'est plus très très malade (il morvait!!)! Même que depuis qu'il est rétabli, on le surnomme ''La Terreur'' Alors, on est dans la phase où on sort son caractère et où on agit un peu trop ''hyper'' pour taper sur les nerf de tout le monde! En plus! il est manipulateur et se donne l'air d'un ange! En plus, à 5 mois, on se cherche une identité... Qui suis-je??? Un pointer? Un terrier? Un pisteur? Un pointer? Un lapin? Un terrier? Un pointer? Un mastiff?

Pauvre Spicy! J'espère qu'elle guérira rapidement! Annie

Stir in bacon fat. Add cheese and egg. Gradually add enough milk to form a dough. Knead dough and roll out to about ½" thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out dough. Place cookies on a corn sprinkled cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F. for about 45 minutes, until they start to brown. When all are baked, turn off oven an leave in oven overnight . Store in airtight container. ________________________________________ Dog Mini Cakes • 2 cup Whole wheat flour • ½ cup Soybean flour • 1 cup Skimmed milk or water • 1 tablespoon Honey • 1 tablespoon Canola or sunflower oil • 1 tsp Sea salt Mix dry ingredients. Add liquid and honey. Mix and let the dough rest in a warm place for 15 minutes. Add oil and allow to sit another ½ hour. Take walnut size portions of dough and flatten into small cakes. Bake in oven at 400 for ½ hour. For cats, roll dough into ¼" thickness and bake on a sheet scored into small sections ¼" square or smaller. ________________________________________ Chicken-Flavoured Dog Biscuits • 2½ tsp Dry yeast • ¼ cup Warm water, (105-110deg. F.) • 1 x Egg • 1 cup Chicken broth, slightly warmed • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour • ½ cup Rye Flour, optional • ½ cup Cornmeal • 1 cup Cracked Wheat • 1½ cup All-purpose Flour In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add one beaten egg, and the warmed chicken broth. Add all flour except the all-purpose flour and mix well. Slowly add all-purpose flour till a stiff dough is formed and it can be kneaded by hand. Knead for only a couple minutes, just enough to get the dough to hold together. Roll out dough about ¼" thick and cut with cookie cutters. Place biscuits on a large cookie tray and place directly in a 300 deg. F. oven, they don't need to rise. Bake for 45 min. and then turn off the oven. You can let them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning they will be real hard and good for your dog's teeth. You could also vary this recipe by adding milk for a milk-bone type biscuit or shortening for a little extra fat. Try different liquids and even honey or molasses. Check with your veterinarian for any other nutritional suggestions. ________________________________________ Tuna Brownies • 2 cans Tuna, drained but save the liquid • 2 eggs (or equivalent egg beater product) • 1 Teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt!) • 1½ cups flour (any type - regular, wheat, rice or potato - just adjust the liquid) Mix all together, adding enough tuna liquid to make a brownie consistency batter. Spread into a pan. (spray the pan lightly with Pam and sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.) Bake at 300 for 20-30 minutes, until browned and not sticky. Cool slightly. Cut into treat size squares. Freezes well. Put enough for one training session into each baggie and freeze until needed. ________________________________________ Tuna Fish Treats • 2 cans of tuna in water (not oil) • 2 eggs • healthy spoonful of garlic powder • 1½ cups flour Mix all stuff together - add as much flour as needed to make it form a ball of dough Spread 1/4" thick on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan Bake 250 for 30-40 minutes Cut into little cubes. Refrigerate or freeze ________________________________________ Baircali Levy's Bedouin Bikkies The recipe is based on what the Bedouin Arabs feed to their Saluki. Merely mix several pounds of slightly warmed whole wheat flour, using warm water or buttermilk, honey and molasses (2 tablespoons), salt (two teaspoons), added to every quart of water used. Leave in a warm place to rise a little. After fifteen minutes, make a hole in the centre of the dough and pour in two dessert spoons of olive oil or corn oil to every two pounds of whole wheat flour used. Leave to rise a further thirty minutes, then sprinkle with a little dry flour and form into small flat cakes. Bake in a 350F degree oven on oiled tray for approximately forty minutes. The aim is quick baking to prevent destruction of the vital wheat germ. Excellent for teeth and jaw development. Just a note to those who are making it: Rolling the mixture out thin and cutting it into little pieces was easier for the Löwchen. It also makes cooking time much much less (15 mins in our conventional oven). ________________________________________ Ginger Bones • 4 cups all-purpose flour • 2 cups whole wheat flour • 1 cup molasses • 1 cup water • ½ cup vegetable oil • 4 tablespoons ground ginger • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon • 1 teaspoon ground cloves Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut into bone shapes. Combine dough scraps and continue to roll out and cut into shapes until all dough has been used. Place cookies on ungreased, foil-lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 5 to 6 dozen. Excerpted and adapted from "The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs," by Donna Twichell Roberts (Quarry Books, November 2004). ________________________________________ Hound Hearts • ¼ cup vegetable oil • ¼ pound chicken hearts (or combination of hearts and gizzards) • One 14½ ounce can diced tomatoes in juice • 4 cups whole wheat flour • 2 cups cooked rice • 4 tablespoons dried basil Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Place cookies on ungreased, foil-lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cookies dry in it for 3 hours or overnight. Makes 5 to 6 dozen. ________________________________________ Doggie Bikkies • 4 cups whole wheat flour • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 x 14½ ounce can chicken broth • 4 tablespoons dried parsley flakes • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Place all ingredients in a large bowl.

Makes 5 to 6 dozen. ________________________________________ Liver & Chicken Brownies Soft chewy brownies that are completely healthy. Great for dogs with allergies to wheat or corn. • 1 cup of chicken hearts • 2 eggs • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder • 1 tablespoon of Lecithin (from soy) make sure its granulated or powdered • 1 tablespoon of Glucosamine • ½ cup of ground flaxseed (from health food store-you can also use whole seeds) Soft chewy brownies that are completely healthy. Great for dogs with allergies to wheat or corn. Prep Time: 15 Cook Time: 15 Temperature: 325F - 165C Cooking Directions: Put all ingredients except flaxseed in food processor (or blender) and puree for about 2 minutes, slowly add the flaxseed. The mixture will be like cake batter. Spread evenly in an un-greased cookie sheet with sides, it should be about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until moist but springy to the touch in a 350F (165C) degree oven. Cool and cut into 1½" x 1½" squares. Tips: They freeze well, but probably won't last long enough for you to even bother! Should be kept in refrigerator though. The nutritional value in this recipe is perfect for dogs. The chicken hearts are loaded with protein, and the liver is high in iron and adds flavour. The garlic is a natural flea preventative, and the Lecithin eliminates tear stains. The Glucosamine helps regenerate cartilage and bone (perfect for either an aging or young dog), and the eggs promote a healthy and shiny coat. ________________________________________

Salut! ...mon Maddox est difficile. Mais! j'ai réussi à trouver quelques recettes qui le font craquer... (dont les brownies au foie) Voici donc quelques unes de ces recettes à essayer. :43: (en anglais comme d'habitude, désolée! Si vous voulez une traduction d'une recette en particulier, dites-le moi, je vais vous arranger ça!) BAIT/TREAT RECIPES - Partie 1 ________________________________________ Cherie's Liver Brownies THIS IS GREAT FOR NON-BAITERS, AND NO DIARRHOEA LATER!  1lb liver  1 packet Lipton's soup - any flavor (THE DRY SOUP MIXES - beef, mushroom)  2 eggs  3 cups oatmeal  1 tsp crushed garlic (from a bottle) Puree liver in blender. BE CAREFUL. It gets wrapped around the blade and can ruin the motor. Add eggs. Add soup and garlic. Blend some more. Dump in bowl. Add oatmeal. Mix thoroughly. Grease big pan. Pour mixture in pan and spread around until it's the thickness of brownies. Bake 1 hour at 250 - 300*. Cut immediately (use a pizza cutter - works great) and freeze in brownie sizes. Oh yeah, you can add some garlic salt to the baggie. Experiment with the amount of oatmeal. 3 cups is a starting point. You might want LESS liver and MORE oatmeal. ________________________________________ Sunshine Liver Brownies These brownies may be cut to any size and will not crumble in your pocket. They also freeze well.  1 lb. of calf or pork liver  1 cup of flour  ½ cup corn meal  2 Tbsp garlic salt  1 Tbsp garlic powder Puree all of the above in a food processor. Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil which has been oiled. Mixture will be thick. Press flat and even. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Brownies are done when the pink is gone. Do not over bake or the brownies will crumble. Recipe may be doubled. You can also use fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder, and/or add parsley flakes for color. Kay Jackson ________________________________________ Liver Bait Recipe  1 lb. liver (beef or chicken)  1½ cups flour (wholewheat)  1 cup cornmeal  1 egg  1 tbsp brewers yeast (optional)  dash of garlic powder Put liver in the blender and blend it a bit, then add everything else (including egg shells if you want), blend well. Pour onto a flat cookie sheet (greased or sprayed) Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Score the biscuits while warm. You can also just use beef heart cooked in water with garlic until done, then slice it up and dry it out a bit in a 200 degree oven. The dogs love this as well and it doesn't seem to go through them as fast. Anita Thomson ________________________________________ Sell-Their-Soul Liver Cookies  1 lb. raw liver--chopped into smaller chunks  1 cup cornmeal  ½ cup flour (white, unbleached, or whole wheat)  ¼-½ cup water  1-2 tbs. garlic powder (or garlic bud)  Optional: 1-2 eggs (this will make a more cake-like texture) ½ cup peanut butter (increase water to ½ cup, and will make an oily cookie, so watch your clothes, they could get grease stains!) Line a jellyroll pan (big cooking sheet with small sides) with aluminum foil. Spray with Pam. Using either a blender or a food processor, add liver and blend until liquefied. Then add remaining ingredients, moist ones first, blending as you add. The entire mixture should be the consistency of cement although if you add eggs, it will be thinner. Spoon mixture out into pan and spread as evenly as you can. Bake for 30-45 minutes at 350 deg. Is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Test several places because the mixture is so thick, it's hard to spread evenly. Remove from oven and cut in small squares. Cool and peel foil off the back. Separate pieces and put in freezer on a cookie sheet until hard. Then freeze. These will keep for several days in a cooler or even in a very cool room or show site. Thaws in the microwave in just a few seconds. ________________________________________ Liver Bits  1 lb. chicken liver  1 cup graham cracker crumbs  3 tablespoons molasses or honey  ¼ cup parsley This works well if you want a dry treat that won't leave any residue. It's a bit like the liver bread recipe but less bready in texture. After it's cooked in the microwave and cut up into bite-size bits, the trick to drying it out is the last step. Place all ingredients in the bowl of food processor. Process until smooth. Pour into a microwave able container, approximately 8" square or round. Microwave on high until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This takes 7 minutes in my microwave, but your mileage may vary. When cooked, turn out of pan immediately, allow the bottom to dry since it will be damp from condensation, and cut into squares while still warm. Spread bits on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake at 200° for 1.5 hours. Freeze or refrigerate. ________________________________________ Dog Biscuits--Bacon Flavored  5 cup Whole wheat flour  1 cup Milk  2 Eggs  10 tablespoons Vegetable oil or bacon fat  1 tspn garlic powder  1 teaspoon Salt  ½ cup Cold water  1 tbsp Vegetable oil or bacon fat (to grease tray) Mix all ingredients well. Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll them into two-inch balls. Put them on a greased cookie sheet. Bake them at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Let them cool, then store in an airtight container. From the Humane Society of Santa Clare Co., Santa Clara, CA ________________________________________ Homemade Liver Biscuits  1 lb liver  1½ cups flour (whole-wheat)  1 cup cornmeal  1 egg  1 tbsp brewers yeast (optional) Throw everything into the blender (liver first). Blend well. Pour onto a flat cookie sheet or pizza pan (greased or sprayed). Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Shut off oven and allow to cool in oven to obtain crisp biscuits. For softer biscuits remove sooner and store in refrigerator. (Hint: it's easier to break up the biscuits if you score them before baking.) In humid climates or if the biscuits are not dried thoroughly they definitely should be refrigerated. If biscuits are not really crisp, they can be put back into a 225 degree oven for a few minutes and allowed to cool in the oven. There is nothing more awful than to discover a container full of moldy liver biscuits. Warning: Family members seeing these lying around have been known to mistake them for brownies. Usually not fatal as one bite is sufficient. Happy baking! Diane Vancouver, B.C. Email: diane_mortensen@mindlink.bc.ca ________________________________________ Bonzo’s Breakfast Bars  6 cups oatmeal  2 cups whole wheat flour  4 eggs  ½ cup oil  1/3 cup honey  ¼ cup molasses  1 cups milk I love this recipe because it makes a lot and it's so easy! You just throw everything into the bowl, mix, and pat onto 2 greased cookie sheets - no rolling or cookie cutters. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets. In a VERY large bowl, mix the above ingredients together. I usually add either 1- large can of solid pack pumpkin or 3-4 mashed bananas, but they are fine without these additions. Mix this whole mess together (I use my hands, AFTER I take my rings off), pat onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 325F for 1 hour. After 1 hour turn oven off, crack oven door and allow cookies to cool in oven. Break into whatever size you want. These freeze really well. My guys love these; they sit in front of the oven waiting. Courtesy of Martha Taylor-Young ________________________________________ Tasty Meat Treats These biscuits are high in protein and vitamins. They are baked at low temperature so as not to destroy their nutritional value. Just one a day will ensure your dog gets the highest quality protein needed in his diet.  1 lb raw liver (beef, pork, or chicken)  Soy flour ½ cup  2 eggs  1 tsp garlic powder  whole wheat or oat flour (can use some rolled oats also)  2 gms Vitamin E oil (capsules from the health food store or Pharmacy) Puree liver in blender or food processor until smooth, add eggs and garlic powder and process again until mixed. add the Vitamin E (as a preservative). Pour onto a large bowl, and add soy flour, mix till smooth. Add whole wheat or oat flour until you have a stiff dough. Knead for a few seconds, then roll out on floured board until about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness and then cut in strips about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. (You will need to use plenty of flour, because the dough will be sticky) Place on ungreased non-stick cookie sheet, and bake in 250F degree (very low) oven until dry and firm. ________________________________________ Cheese 'N Garlic Bites  1 cup wheat flour  1 cup grated cheddar cheese  1 tablespoon garlic powder (not garlic salt!)  1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine  ½ cup milk Mix flour and cheese together. Add garlic powder and softened butter. Slowly add milk till you form a stiff dough. You may not need all of the milk. Knead on floured board for a few minutes. Roll out to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees oven for 15 minutes. Let cool in oven with the door slightly open till cold and firm. Refrigerate to keep fresh. ________________________________________ Kala's Cookies  ¼ cup ground Flax seed  2 cups oat flour  ¼ cup sunflower seeds  1 TBS Kasha  ½ cup oats  ¼ cup wheat germ  ½ TBS garlic powder  1 jar chicken baby food  1 jar carrot baby food  1 beaten egg  2 tsp Canola oil  ½ cup water  ½ cup powdered milk Mix all the ingredients together. Dough can be rolled into balls, it can be flattened with a glass and can also be rolled out and cut with greased cookie cutters. Enjoy.... with caution!! ________________________________________

Bon, eh bien... on fait un peu de maniement depuis 2 semaines... on commence à être très bons! Voici donc mon Ti-Pou stacké (du mieux qu'on a pu!! LOL!) ... il commence à grandir en étages tranquillement mais il est quand même superbe pour un Mastiff de 4.5mois! (ben oui, môman est contente!! ) Oh! et en passant, je sais, c'est pas trop beau devant un poêle (qui fait des reflets en plus!! ... moi qui pensait que Tessa serait fière de mes photos!! ) Avec son nouveau jouet qu'il A-D-O-R-E!! :43:

Je ne connais pas les éleveurs de Chihuahua mais fais attention à Little Gems; c'est Angela Canning!

Écoute, je crois qu'elle suggère la litière car ces petites races se gèlent les pattes à l'extérieur l'hiver. Tyson, qui était un Minpin, pesait 9 livres. Dès qu'il faisait sous zéro, il se gelait les pattes et ne pouvait plus marcher en l'espace de 2 minutes. Si on ne l'avait pas surveillé, il aurait pu avoir des séquelles irréversibles aux pattes ou même mourrir je crois. Tu peux envoyer un chihuahua dehors je crois, mais toujours garder un oeil sur lui... ne pas le laisser sans surveillance. ... de toute façon, c'est une habitude facile à prendre car, de toute manière, on sort toujours avec un nouveau chiot. Les autres, vous pensez quoi?

Jovi, si jamais tu veux écrire à certains éleveurs anglophones, envoie-moi tes emails en français, je peux te les traduire. Bonne chance dans ta recherche!! ;) Annie

Vraiment, Bravo pour ta bonne action Jézabel!

Mais, j'suis pas capable de m'empêcher!!! :00: :/*965: Vous vous rappellez que je ne peux pas faire confiance à ma mère et la laisser seule avec Maddox (épisode de la salle de lavage en photo)!?! lollllllllllll

Audrey22, c'est un Mastiff. Il a eu 4 mois samedi dernier.

Jovi!! Jovi!! Tiens, demandez, et vous recevrez!!! On a fait ça juste pour toi ce soir!

Tu pourrais le confondre avec Heidi, j'te jure!

J'ai cherché mais j'en ai pas trouvé!!

Ce matin, nous avons fini d'enlever nos plantes... Maddox m'a beaucoup aidé! On en a ensuite profité pour aller marcher un peu dans le verger. Je me prends pour un Pointer! L'art de scrapper un joli visage! On fait un beau assis-reste

Tu m'as bien fait rire Mom! Effectivement, comme Jaelle disait, c'est un bébé Mastiff!

Cane Corso, Mastiff, Danois, Caucasian Ovtcharka, Léonberg. Et le tout, dans l'ordre et le désordre!

Tant qu'à réparer mes photos... voici les nouvelles d'aujourd'hui. Ben voyons! Pourquoi t'as peur que je fasse un mauvais coup!?! T'en fais pas, ça va bien aller! Je goûte juste un ti-peu. On a fait une petite sieste avant de faire à souper... On prépare à souper: les joies de posséder un Mastiff...

Moi, j'y serai, c'est certain... pour ce qui est de la journée, on verra!

... encore aufeminin! je leur ai écrit!

Je me donne l'air sage... Qu'est-ce que grand-maman lui a fait!!!???!!! Si je suis gentil, je pourrais monter? Là, je suis gentil!! Juste monter un ti peu... stp!!! Je sais faire assis-reste! Non! je ne grandis pas en sagesse!!!

Ohhhh! Magnifiques! (il me semble que je prendrais le 2ième en partant du bas ) N'oublie pas de poster des photos pendant qu'ils grandiront!

Tyson était épeurant pour sa taille (9lbs)... je crois que son pénis était aussi gros que ses pattes de devant et presqu'aussi long aussi... Vive la castration!

Salut la gang! J'ai besoin de trouver LA gourmandise et LA bebelle pour Maddox!!! Je m'explique: rien ne semble le faire tripper fort fort... J'ai besoin de gourmandises hyper alléchantes pour son entraînement à la propreté, pour l'obéissance et pour la confo... j'ai essayé toutes les sortes cochonneries en sac mais rien ne lui plaît plus qu'il faut, ce qu'il semble aimer le plus, ce sont les minouches pour chat, mais encore..... Ce qui le fait tripper c'est du yogourt mais ça se porte mal dans un sac d'entrâinement!!! LOL! Est-ce que vous avec des suggestions miracles qui font tripper vos chiens à coups sûr? Et pour les jouets, je veux l'occuper mais pas grand chose ne l'intéresse longtemps... ce qu'il aime le plus, c'est ses ballons de basket et soccer en peluche mais encore là, il ne joue avec que 5 minutes.... il apprécie sa "chip'' à mâcher qui nettoie supposément les dents, mais juste 5 minutes! Il laisse ses kongs et balles-kong de côté même pleines de beurre de peanut et de friandises... il n'aime aucun de ses jouets à pouet... et est capable de se garder ses nylabones et ses cordes un bon 2 1/4 minutes en bouche! En bref, je veux que mon chien s'amuse lorsqu'on l'éduque mais aussi lorsqu'il est seul ou qu'on joue ensembles.... Des suggestions? Merci de votre aide! Annie
