Miniature Schnauzers – Did you know?

The Miniature Schnauzer originated in Germany in the mid to late 1800s. They are a considered a small breed, the Miniature Schnauzer weights 12 to 20 pounds. The small height of Miniature Schnauzers, at 12 to 14 inches, …allows them to easily live in any size home, apartment, or room; also allows them to easily fly inside the cabin of the airplane as a companion/therapy dog under the airplane sit or in your arms.

How To Shop For A Puppy During The Pandemic – Coronavirus – COVID 19

During this time in our lives where we are all united globally seeking comfort, love, guidance, answers and solutions we all deserve more comfort which more times than not can be found in the unconditional love of a puppy.

I truly believe that “The Coronavirus”, COVID 19 has truly turned the world sidewise and in most lives has blind-sided the masses.

We are living the 6 foot rule, living, sometimes isolated and alone in our home, day to day on lockdown and not permitted to leave our homes.

More people than ever are seeking the love, comfort and companionship of a puppy.

Most  people desire, want, and need a companion, therapy or service dog.

So all of a sudden we are on lockdown, many people are filled with fear, uncertainty and insecurity seeking serenity, comfort, peace, and tranquility.

A family with a puppy, children with a puppy, seniors with a puppy begin to feel safer.

“So, how can I buy a puppy when I am prohibited to going to someone else’s home?” they say to themselves in a quiet whisper of insecurity.

Well, I have discovered  a solution, a method of allowing people to pick and choose a puppy for love and comfort and yet all at the same time honoring the 6 foot rule by staying safely in their  home while they meet me, the owner founder of Zurilgen Kennel, Barbara Williams  and our puppies through video conferencing and then have the puppy safely land transported or flown to them.

So, whether you choose me as the Breeder of AKC Miniature Schnauzers to care for your needs, or you choose another breed of dog and breeder there is always a method of accomplishing what you want and need if you stay in the solution….

The Cognition and Emotions of Dogs

BoldandBrave

 

More recently than not, I took a course with Coursera.org named Dog Cognition and Emotion by Duke University by Brian Hare.

The course was an amazing eye opener.

Brian Hare’s stunning discovery is that when dogs domesticated themselves around 40,000 years ago they became far more like human infants than their wolf ancestors. Domestication gave dogs a whole new kind of social intelligence. This finding will change the way we think about dogs and dog training—indeed, the revolution has already begun

Below you can see the book cover of the book that accompanies the course.
