Grooming the Wire FoxTerrier
|
Delayre Kennels was founded in 1963 originally breeding and showing Wire Fox Terriers, along with Airedales and Dalmatians (which we no longer breed) In 1969 we acquired Silky Terriers. We are in Sun Valley Ca where we established our licensed kennel in 1974 . Our primary Silky Terrier line goes back into the original Coolaroo lines (which combined several of the top Silky Terrier breeding lines from Australia) along with Koala, Casa de Casey, Bonneen and my latest outcrosses of Australian Silky Terriers from the Nantiki kennel and Bedafareal kennel in Australia My primary Wire Fox Terrier line goes back into Deko, Mt. Ayre, Ascot, Albany, Baglan and Louline and Dekoupage At Delayre Kennels we believe that our Silky Terriers and Wire Haired Terriers should have not only a sound body, but also have good temperaments and trainability level. Delayre bred, and owned Silky Terriers and Wire Fox Terriers and their progeny have appeared in movie, TV and print media including the Eiger Sanction, Titanic, Jack Frost and Purina ads and have worked as therapy dogs and K9 Ambassadors . All Silky Terrier puppies and Wire Fox Terrier puppies purchased as pets go with a non-breeding contract and/or limited registration. We recommend spaying and neutering at 8 months of age for both the Silky Terrier and Wire Haired Fox Terriers. If a top quality puppy is purchased with breeding rights a contract is signed requiring ethical breeding practices and ABSOLUTELY NO PET SHOP WHOLESALING OR BROKERING of any puppies produced by this puppy or it's progeny. We also do not mix the breeds No Silky Yorkshires. They are not special crosses only mixes bred by unethical breeders . We also do not breed Teacup Silky Terriers. You see many ads for Yorkshire Terrier teacup puppies but no legitimate Yorkshire Terrier breeder will ever breed teacup Yorkshire Terrier puppies . Most are scams . See more information on my Silky page. I now have a newsletter, You may sign up at the bottom of this page. I also have a group Silky Terriers and Wire Fox Terriers Oh My on Face Book and a Delayre Kennel Fan Page.
**************************************************************************************************************** Tip of the Week:
****************************************************************************************************************
Buying a puppy is a VERY BIG DEAL and we want you to treat it that way, but it's a joyful and wonderful deal too. My greatest reward is when I get that e-mail saying that Leo is now a therapy dog, or how great Misty is, she is a delightful addition to our family , or Wiley celebrating his17th Birthday or that Lola has gone to her great reward and that everybody cried for three days because she was such a wonderful dog. The pictures, letters and stories are cherished, this is why I breed dogs. The joy on the faces of children getting their first puppy or an elderly person who, if it were not for one of my puppies would be alone and all the people over the years, with many stories from the very funny to the very sad with the same ending he is part of our family and he is loved I am eager for you to have the rewards and joys of owning a great dog, just as I and my customers have had over the last 37 years .
I now have new videos of my Wires and Silkies on my YouTube Delayre Kennel Channel has baby puppies. I hope to start adding videos from time to time
UPDATED JANUARY 2012 Silky Terriers I have a nice selection of young male and female Silky Terrier puppies available Adult Silky Terrier adoptions available . Wire Fox Terriers Hopefully puppies will be born in March of 2012
Hi Lee, hope all is well with you. We have been having a great time
with our "puppers"
 !
Cosmo loves his home and has turned into a "mama's dog" very fast.
He is great around people of all kinds as I take him out with me
everywhere I go so he can "socialize". I take him with me shopping
to selected places, and always put him in a "shopping cart" with his
bed pad, also every store that I go to (with the exception of food
stores) allow him and "love him" "he is so cute and friendly"..... .
He has all his shots and just received his rabies shot and has been
given his first dose of the drops that are placed on his neck to
prevent fleas and heart worms (can't think of the name of the
stuff). He weighs 15.4 and is free of any parasites and is
completely healthy. He was developing a smell in his ear so I had
the vet look at that right away, nothing to worry about, "it's not
in the ear canal" and we have cleared up the odor and slight
pinkness of the ear. He is "all puppy" if that tells you anything.
His coat has come in completely and is healthy and beautiful. Wiry,
shiny, and very profound in color.
He goes outside on his own to potty, has had very few accidents in
the house. We leave the door open for him as he still doesn't know
how to "tell us" that he needs to go out. He has not been allowed to
"destroy" anything that doesn't belong to him. He has been taught to
sit and stay and performs those commands by hand signals and also by
telling him. He has learned the words "no" and "drop it" and is
pretty obedient to those commands also. He sleeps by my side all
night without needing to go out during the night, we both get good
sleep. He still needs 100% of the time to be in sight of us as he
still tends to want to "grab stuff he shouldn't" (typical puppy
behavior) but he not a menace. He has been excellent in the house.
He has been to the beach more than once, (check out my face book
page for some really great pictures of him), not a "doggie beach"
either. I take him to a beautiful semi private beach in
Newport/Balboa. He loves the beach! He travels very well in my car,
and with my back seats laid down and his giant pillow, he is very
comfortable and enjoys watching the outdoors. He walks very well on
his leash, and is very well behaved with other dogs.
He has lost his bottom front teeth and still likes to chew
everything he can get him mouth on. In all he is one very smart
puppy and I couldn't be more proud of him. He is beautiful in looks
and color! Thank you for a wonderful doggie. We love him
sooooooooooo much. We still miss Nitro, but Cosmo is a blessing and
has helped me from missing Nitro. His personality is a little
mischievous, but he is a lover as Nitro was, and is sweet as Nitro
was.
Double click on the pictures to enlarge them. The buck comes by
quite often in the mornings to feed on the berries behind our fence.
Cosmo is not sure what to think of him, doesn't bark at him, just
watches. It's really cool.
I'll stay in touch. Hugs, and hope all is well with the other
doggies.

MAJOR ALERT TO PEOPLE LOOKING FOR PUPPIES There is a company called Purebred Breeders that also has ads calling themselves California Breeders and Puppies Direct . When you call you get a third party broker giving you information on puppies they have never seen. Prices range from inexpensive to very expensive. The site is very slick and appears to have only the best sellers. They are being sued by the Humane Society of the US for selling many sick and defective puppies. I went onto their site and found the puppies being advertised running in range from 1200 to 2400. Many of the puppies were very low quality and some did not resemble the breed. One Miniature Schnauzer was gold in color (they don't come in that color) priced at $1495. The Today Show had a segment on this group.
There are many sites similar to this one. In CA there is a huge number of illegally imported puppies being sold in Los Angeles and other major USA cities are now finding this type of seller . These puppies are being sold as young as 3 or 4 weeks of age, but the purchasers are given the impression that they are older. My vet has seen 30 cases of Parvo (a deadly disease of puppies which has a 50% death rate ) in the last few months, mostly in suspected "Border" puppies from other countries.
IT IS ILLEGAL TO IMPORT PUPPIES FOR RESALE AT LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF AGE!In late May 2008, as part of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, Congress passed an amendment to the Animal Welfare Act that makes it illegal to import puppies for resale if the puppies are less than 6 months old.It makes NO difference: whether the importer brings the puppy here and sells it from a U.S. address, or whether the importer has the puppy shipped directly to you from another country. IT IS STILL ILLEGAL!The best way to know you have an illegal importer (seller):No parents available to see (don’t be fooled by photos)Many will advertise they are in one city and then send you to a different cityMany will not let you come to them. They will meet you someplace or come to your home (good way to set you up for a future burglary)Some will only communicate through e mailMost use residential homes. Many shuffle the puppies from one home to another. You may see the same puppy at different locations.Some have retail stores. Usually they are not licensed. If you go to one check for pet shop permit, sellers permit and business license. Pet shops must display information about the puppy’s breeder, including address and state.Some appear to have a kennel. Check for kennel permit and sellers permit. If they are legal they will have them. If theyhave a USDA permit they are licensed to sell to pet shops andwould loose their license if they sell illegally imported puppies.Most deal only in cash or western union money order.Some will say they have a partner that provides the puppies that is why they don’t have the parentsIf they have several different breeds available (some breeders may breed up to 3 breeds max and always have kennel licenses)the odds are they are illegal importers Again see the parents.Most are coming from Korea, Mexico, Indonesia, and Russia. From any country, even Canada it is illegal to bring puppies for sale into the USA under 6 months of age.The breeds most often imported are: Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus and their mixes. Also French Bull dogs, Rottweiler, German Shepherd Dogs, Golden Retrievers and English Bulldogs. Although no breed is exempt.The law was passed after when it was clear this was a major concern to not only for consumers purchasing sick puppies, but to the safety of people and pets in the USA. In 2005 they estimated 10,000 puppies were coming into the USA in 06 one year latter 280,000. Many are as young as 3 to 4 weeks old. The CDC is worried especially about Rabies which can have a 1 year incubation period. Most of these puppies come from countries with a high incidence of Rabies not only in wild animal but in the dog population. IThere are good breeders here and there are good breeders in other countries. Good breeders do NOT sell puppies to be imported to other countries for sale by puppy brokersFor more information log onto:http://admin.publichealth.lacounty.gov/vet/docs/BorderPuppiesPubHlth.pdfhttp://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm/Veterinary+news/Breed-wars/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/658787

TWO MAJOR HEALTH CONCERNS FOR YORKSHIRE TERRIERS THAT ARE NOT A CONCERN FOR SILKY TERRIERS Liver shunts also know as Portosystemic shunts . The majority are considered congenital although they are not always. Most dogs with congenital shunts develop symptoms by 6 months of age , some may not show signs until later in life. Liver shunts are abnormal veins that allow blood from the intestine to bypass the liver. Ammonia and other toxins are not metabolized or removed from the circulation, resulting in signs of hepatic encephalopathy. Surgery is usually the only treatment. Cornell University is doing genetic mapping which was initiated by Tibetan Spaniel breeders. Cornel has included other breeds considered high risk including the Cairn Terrier, Papillion, Havanese , Norfolk Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer , Maltese and the Yorkshire Terrier. This is a link to the letter sent to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America http://www.ytca.org/health_centermessage.pdf
Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a syndrome that occurs in many toy breed puppies usually between 6 to 12 weeks of age. The signs are listlessness, depression, staggering fait, muscular weakness and tremors especially in the face . If left without aid it may progress to a severe sugar drop causing seizures or becoming stuperous and go into a coma followed by death . In some cases some puppies exhibit only weakness or a wobbly gait Occasionally a puppy that seeded just fine is found in a coma. A true emergency you must apply Karo syrup to the gums to bring up the sugar level and then take the puppy to the Vet . If he has not gone into a coma sugar water an be given but not if he is unconscious. A puppy with hypoglycemia must have his blood sugar controlled . Prolonged or frequent attack can cause brain damage. It is also recommended Veterinary testing to rule out an underlying problem such as liver shunt, infections, or an enzyme or hormone deficiency.
Both of these are medical problems should be covered for one year under a health warrantee. Any breeder who will not provide a health guarantee or treats hypoglycemia as if it is a mild annoyance I would stay away from. As a Silky breeder I have never had complaints about either problem in my line Nor have I seen it. I do however include this like any major problem in my warrantee. As a member of the Silky Terrier club I have not heard of any other Silky breeder having concerns Wire Fox Terrier and Silky Terrier Gifts I now have two Zazzle stores . I am beginning to create products for sale with Wire Haired Terriers and Silky terriers . Here is a link to my store . This is a work in progress and I will be adding new items from time to time. The 2nd store features Silky Terriers looking for new homes. Proceeds for that site goes towards spaying, neutering and placement costs it is accessed though the 1st store via my profile link. Pictured is a bumper sticker. I have other products including mugs, totes, mouse pads, T shirts and postage stamps http://www.zazzle.com/delayre?rf=238323157229375577&CMPN=zBookmarkl
