Despite their size Toy Breeds think they are Herculean

Feb 16

Our staff has a good chuckle every time we get a letter or an email about the devotion and protective nature of our little dogs.  Many of these breeds think nothing of approaching a human 10 times their size and letting them know whose boss.

One of those breeds is the Teacup Morkie.   Some would call this breed a hybrid or a designer dog but, it is a wonderful breed for so many reasons.  Morkies came into being by breeding a Maltese and a Yorkie.  Each breed brought its own uniqueness into the mix and what the breeder received was nothing short of the ideal toy dog.  Morkies are truly fearless. They do not hesitate to sound the alert when they sense danger.  Their temperament with their owners is legendary.  They are full of energy but are very social animals.

The Morkies for sale in our kennel have various size and color combinations.  If you stop by our main website you will have trouble deciding which Morkie to choose from.  A Morkies coat takes its darker colors from the Yorkie the white patches from the Maltese.

Another toy breed that is an excellent watchdog as well as a trusted companion is the Teacup Pomeranian.  The Teacup Pomeranians for sale in our facility are a perfect example of the breed.  These little guys won’t get more than a foot tall.  That will not stop them from being the perfect burglar alarm.  Pomeranian puppies don’t eat a lot; their full grown body weight won’t be over about 6 pounds.

Looking like a little ball of fur, they approach their owners with lightening speed.  They are known for their extreme agility in canine sports.  Most of the Pomeranians were bred for hunting and in some that instinct still exists.  They are comfortable in wide open spaces and seem to be just as happy in an apartment size dwelling.

Affordablepups.com makes sure all the puppies that leave our facility are healthy and are up to date with all their puppy shots.  If you are curious about a puppy you see on our website feel free to schedule a webcam appointment so we can show you just how cute and loving our puppies are.  After you have decided on a puppy you can put a hold on it until you are sure your home has been puppy proofed and is ready for his or her arrival.

If you live in our area, schedule an appoint to see the puppy of your choice.  We don’t see too many customers walk out of our kennel empty handed.  We welcome visitors because as soon as they leave they can’t stop talking about our facility or our puppies.  Word of mouth is our greatest advertisement.

Legends of the Ancient and Honorable Pug

Feb 09

When a dog breed has been around for 2500 years there are sure to be a few good stories about it. Depictions of the Chinese pug can be found as far back as 551 BC when they were often found on the laps of the Chinese sovereigns of the Shang Dynasty. Confucius actually mentioned a pug in one of his writings, describing it as a “short mouthed dog” in one scroll. This writing was a rare find because the Emperor Qin Shi destroyed all the records he could find on the Pug’s origins in 221 BC. To him, the ancestors of the Pug puppies for sale we have here at Affordable Pup were ancient Foo dogs, guardians of the Han dynasty that would eventually rule after his death.

The Pug can also be found in Tibet where they have been the companions of Buddhist monks for two millennia. In the 1600’s, the east India Trading Company imported them to Europe, where they quickly made an impact. One pug saved the life of William of Orange. Another, in the 18th Century, took messages back and forth from Les Carmes prison for Josephine Bonaparte, the wife of Napoleon. In the 19th Century, Queen Victoria cemented the pug in Western culture by adopting and breeding a number of them. During that error they were bred to create the English bulldog, the Pekingese, and the King Charles spaniel, all toy dogs you can find here at Affordable Pup.

How can one breed of dog have had so much influence on the world over the centuries? Not only has the pug survived and thrived; it has been the preferred choice of royalty since the beginnings of civilization. Is it possible that this little dog has some kind of divine powers like the Chinese once believed? Is the pug for sale you are about to adopt an ancient Foo dog, a guardian that no evil spirits can get past? It sounds pretty far fetched but there’s no denying that this dog is special.

Toy dogs in America are often overlooked in favor of their larger more aggressive cousins. The German shepherd and golden retriever are symbols of Americana, but toy dogs are actually more popular numbers-wise. You need a yard and lots of open space to own a big dog. They can be found in apartments, but it’s not fair to the dog and the owner soon tires of the cramped living quarters. Toy dogs can live anywhere. All they need is companionship and food. They adapt to all living situations.

Two of the descendants of the pug are also available here at Affordable Pup. We have King Charles puppies for sale and English bulldog puppies for sale. Take some time and browse through our website to view some of the candidates from all three breeds.

Chihuahuas are the Smallest AKC Recognized Breed

Feb 06

The Chihuahua puppies for sale we have here at Affordable Pup are considered by many to be the most interesting breed of toy dog there is. They are the smallest recognized breed by the American Kennel Club, with a standard of six pounds or less, and their origins are shrouded in mystery, giving them a certain mystique in selected circles. The most broadly accepted theory is that they come from Mexico and are descended from the Techichi, a favored pet of the Toltecs, but the records of that civilization are incomplete at best and limited evidence has been found.

Another theory, one that actually has some historical evidence behind it, is that the Chihuahua first originated in Europe, possibly on the island of Malta. There is a fresco in the Sistine Chapel, painted by Sandro Boticelli in 1482, that depicts a dog that looks exactly like the Chihuahua. Columbus didn’t return from the Americas until ten years later so it’s not possible that Boticelli could have seen the Mexican version.

Is it possible that similar breeds developed on two different sides of the world or did the Chihuahua evolve early in human history when the Asian and North American land masses were connected? There are eerie similarities between some of the Asian races and South American Indian tribes. Why not two nearly identical dog breeds? Some of the teacup Chihuahua puppies for sale we come across could have European origins. We can’t really tell. Their barks don’t seem to have any kind of accent.

Human beings, with our unfettered imaginations, can come up with conspiracy theories and ghost stories about anything. There’s a legend about El Lobo in Mexico, the gray wolf that is believed to be the ancestor of the Chihuahua. The species isn’t often seen these days and some believe it to be extinct. The superstitious tend to associate any sightings with either bad or good luck depending on the region and circumstances. To those folks, the Chihuahua is a sacred animal, one that is treated like a god.

Of course, the Chihuahua isn’t the only dog here with legends attached to it. The Maltese puppies for sale have ancestry that can be traced back to 500 BC, Pomeranians descend from prehistoric Spitz dogs, and Havanese were nearly extinct in the United States at one point. What do they all have in common? They’re all available here at Affordable Pup. Come on inside and meet some of them.

The Malti Pom is a Cross Breed of Ancient Bloodlines

Feb 02

The Maltese was first depicted in literature back in 500 BC on a small Etruscan Island south of a fledgling republic that would someday become the Empire of Rome. The Pomeranian is a descendent of the German Spitz dog, once thought to be the oldest dog breed on the planet with characteristics seen in many Stone Age fossilized remains of early canines. That has since been disproved by genetic evidence, but the Pomeranian is still considered royalty among toy dog breeders. The combination of the two breeds produced, among others, the Malti Pom puppies for sale we have here at Affordable Pup. You’ll find, if you adopt one, they offer the best of both breeds.

It is widely believed that the Maltese was the preferred dog of the noble women of ancient Malta, though the exact origins of the dog are not known. Some believe the Maltese may have first been bred on the Adriatic Island of Mljet or the former Sicilian town of Melita. These multiple claims on the origins of this dog are evidence of its overwhelming popularity. Over the centuries it has proven to be a loyal companion with a resilient physical makeup and a pleasant demeanor.

Ironically, the Maltese is thought to be descended originally from an ancient line of Spitz dogs that resided around Lake Geneva in Switzerland, making them a distant cousin to the Pomeranian. That could be why they’re so compatible for breeding. The teacup Malti Pom puppies for sale Ohio pet lovers adopt from us seem to have a strength and lust for life that far surpass that of other dogs we come across. If you adopt a Malti Pom, be prepared to spend some time with it. They crave human attention.

Either breed is of course also available as a pure bred here at Affordable Pup. There are also other cross breed varieties available, like the Malti Poo, a cross between a Maltese and Poodle, and the Cava Pom, a Cavalier Spaniel and Pomeranian. These are mixes that seem to work well together, as each new coupling adds strength to the bloodline and possibly opens the door to an entirely new, pure breed some day. Breeders find combinations that work and tend to stick with them.

Whether you’re looking for the pure bred Maltese puppies for sale Ohio breeders prize so highly, or a mixed breed dog that you just want to love and care for, you can find it here at Affordable Pup. Take some time and browse our website, use the webcam option to get to know your potential selections, and then write back to us to tell the rest of the world about your experience. We’d be happy to publish your feedback.

Pomeranians and Maltese make Perfect Therapy Dogs

Jan 26

Anyone who has had a loved one in Hospice or other type of terminal care facility knows the value of therapy dogs. Larger dogs can make good therapy dogs but, in many cases the dog takes up most of the bed and leaves little room for either the patient or the dog to relax. Toy Dog Breeds are ideal as therapy dogs not just because of their size, but their gentle and loving character. Consider all the positive attributes of the toy dog breeds.

Our Pomeranians for sale and Maltese breeds are covered head to toe with hair/fur making them feel like a teddy bear. Research has shown the simple petting of an animal will lower blood pressure, calm nerves and help any patient relax. Both types of dogs are affectionate and enjoy attention. With proper training these dogs won’t get over excited and jump up barking and licking their ailing patients. They will stay put allowing their human companions to take pleasure in their presence.

For patients who have allergies, the Havanese is a perfect friend. This well built little dog doesn’t shed and is what some term hypo-allergenic. Unlike the Pomeranian and Maltese the Havanese won’t leave clumps of hair all over someone’s hospital bed. If the patient is ambulatory this breed is perfect for a short walk outside. This dog is native to Cuba and its coat keeps the heat from penetrating down to the skin. Warmer climates suit this dog well.

The most popular therapy dogs by far though are the Yorkie puppies for sale we have here at Affordable Pup. They manage to bring a smile to anyone’s face. With its big eyes, small body and long hair, one Hospice patient described a Yorkie as ‘Cousin It’ from the television show The Addams Family. Of all the breeds mentioned in this article, the Yorkie is the best suited as a therapy dog. These dogs are not happy without a significant amount of human interaction in their daily lives. They appear to listen to everything that someone says to them. As a good listener, these dogs can calm the most upset of patients because of their attentiveness.

Health care facilities have no objection to having larger dogs around; they are just more difficult to handle. Many patients in terminal care are weak from their illness and a larger dog, regardless of how gentle, is seen as a threat. Small dogs, especially the toy dog breeds, are able to sit on someone’s lap and enjoy being petted. They tend to be warm when held which gives anyone a sense of security and love. If you are interested in any of these breeds, we have them right here at Affordable Pup. Aside from being portable and huggable, the toy dog breeds make perfect companions.

Yorkies and Cats can be Best Friends

Jan 23

What happens when you take one of our Yorkies for sale named Satara and put her together with an alley cat named Fuzz? You get a friendship that will last a lifetime. The oddest of all odd couples once granted me one of the happiest moments of my life. Thrust together purely by blind circumstance, these two lovable pets were not only able to co-exist; they became inseparable companions, until one day Fuzz made it out the door. She ran, it snowed, the days went by, and we gave up on her, but Satara never did.

If you’re a Yorkie owner you know that when they bond with another pet or a human, it’s for life. Fuzz was gone for six days in what has become a legendary ice storm that no creature could possibly survive in. Satara sat quietly on the couch through most of it, though if you crouched down close to her you could hear the faintest whimper each time the wind blew against the glass. When the storm finally broke and the sun broke through, the relief for her was as pronounced as it was for the rest of us.

The first thing we did was go to the supermarket to do a little shopping. The cupboards were bare and not a soul in our domicile wanted to stare at those four walls any longer. Casting aside our grief over our lost feline friend and arming ourselves with the hopes that she was in a better place, we ventured out onto the treacherous winter roads. A few feet of snow had accumulated by now, but the streets were drivable and the sun was shining. We traveled, we shopped, and we came home. The front door opened and Satara came out to watch us unload, barking merrily as she always did in those circumstances – loud enough for another to hear.

Like the Phoenix of legend, Fuzz emerged from beneath the house where she had spent the last six days and seven nights, none the worse for wear, eager to greet her Yorkie compatriot. Satara somehow knew that Fuzz had survived. There was no grief in her, no despair, and obviously no doubt that she would see her friend again. As the tiger striped alley cat bounded down the slope of the snow bank she was headed directly towards my Yorkie, not into my arms, though that’s where she ended up. It was my dog that brought my cat back to me. What are the odds of that? They’re actually pretty good. Any one of our Yorkie puppies for sale would make a great companion for your cat.

Good things come in small packages. In my case, there were two small packages that day, one canine and one feline. Opposites and rivals according to tradition and vilified as bitter enemies in literature, these two companions found a way to be together after that storm and are still together today – with one minor addition. Fuzz has three kittens now. Apparently she spent her time that week doing more than just surviving. Satara doesn’t mind though. Now she has four feline friends instead of just one.
