HOW TO CHOOSE A PET DOG
__
Dogs are one of the most popular types of animals across the globe. Their loyalty and intelligence has made them man’s best friends. You can take note of different factors that will help you choose the perfect dog for you.
DOG BREEDS
__
There are different dog breeds you can choose from that will best fit your personality.
You can choose between a purebred dog and a mixed breed dog. Make sure to research on different dog breeds to know more on their eating habits, behavior, and other characteristics. A purebred will be preferable especially if you like how that dog breed looks and behaves. Alternatively, a dog with mixed breed may be better for you if you like the personalities of two different dogs.
SIZE OF THE DOG
__
The size of the dog can affect your choice too. Does your home have enough space to keep a large dog? Or would you want a dog that you can carry around?
A large dog is suitable for people with large homes so that there is more space for them to move around. This is also necessary to avoid damage to the dog and your household objects. On the other hand, small dogs are a better match for people with smaller homes. Still, keep in mind that smaller dogs are often more sensitive to external conditions.
There are more expenses for large dogs since they have bigger appetites. Take note of regular medical check-ups for your dogs to maintain or improve their health condition.
AGE OF THE DOG
__
The age of the dog is another significant factor since younger dogs require more training and discipline. Puppies are more prone to causing disarray in your house, so dedication to training them is important.
If you would like less fuss when it comes to your pet dog, an adult dog would be a good choice for you. Most adult dogs have been trained already which would make things easier for you. However, this does not mean that the adult dog will be perfectly well-behaved. You need to train it as well so that it will be easier for the dog to adjust to the new environment.
Last but not the least, we have senior dogs. Unfortunately, most senior dogs are neglected and rarely adopted because they do not have the same activity level as adult dogs and puppies. They are also more prone to health complications so there will be more responsibilities on the part of the pet owner. If you would like to own a dog that is not extremely active, a senior dog would be perfect for you.
ACTIVITY LEVEL OF THE DOG
__
The dog’s activity level is another important characteristic in choosing a dog. If you cannot consistently have walks in the park or outdoor activities, it is better to pick a dog with low energy levels. Check on certain behavior problems with your dog and have them corrected through exercises and training.
PHYSICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE DOG
__
The physical maintenance of dogs can also help determine the type of dog you will own. You will have to clean up more if you will own a dog that is more prone to shedding. Check if your dog may be more prone to certain infections to ensure its good health.
TOP 5 MOST POPULAR DOG BREEDS IN THE USA
__
The American Kennel Club (AKC) has released the most popular dog breeds in the USA for the year 2016. Here are the top five canine favorites in the United States:
Labrador Retriever
German Shepherd
Golden Retriever
Bulldog
Beagle
#1. LABRADOR RETRIEVER
__
Labrador Retrievers originated from Canada. They belong to the sporting dogs group because of their alertness. People can choose between three colours – the Black Labrador, Chocolate Labrador, or a Yellow Labrador (although there is also darker shade of yellow called the Fox Red Labrador). They have an average life span of 10 to 14 years.
Some of the characteristics Labradors possess are a “clean-cut” head, “short, dense, weather resistant coat,” and an “otter tail,” according to the AKC.
Labradors are known to be kind, easygoing, and friendly animals. Their agility and even temperedness makes them the ideal companions, especially for energetic people. They are good with children and do not shed much compared to other dog breeds.
This breed is used for a variety of reasons. Aside from being playful companions, Labradors are also used as guide dogs for the blind and people with disabilities, as helpers during calamities and accidents, and as assistants for drug and firearm detections. They are one of the most trustworthy dog breeds, and it is no wonder why they are the most popular dog breed not only in the United States, but also in Canada and the United Kingdom.
#2. GERMAN SHEPHERD
__
From the name itself, German Shepherds are medium to large-sized dogs that came from Germany. They belong to the herding group of dogs and are available in 11 different colours. Their average life span is 9 to 13 years, slightly shorter than Labradors.
The distinguishing characteristics of German Shepherds are their domed forehead, long, square-cut muzzle, black nose, and medium-sized eyes. They have large ears that stand erect.
German Shepherd dogs are strong, intelligent, and agile creatures. They are excellent dogs because they are obedient and faithful to their owners. In fact, they are even called a “one man” breed because of their extreme loyalty. They need regular physical and mental exercises since they were meant to be work dogs. Dog owners should be ready for more cleaning because this dog breed goes through frequent shedding of hair.
German Shepherds are normally used to assist the police for purposes of drug and firearm detection, combat operations, and as guide dogs for people with disabilities or during therapy sessions. This breed is also used by agencies to save victims during calamities like earthquakes, fires, and storms. These traits make German Shepherds the second most popular dog breed in the United States.
#3. GOLDEN RETRIEVER
__
Golden Retrievers are dogs that are large in size and originated from Scotland during the mid-19th century. They are a part of the sporting group of dogs. Their colours range from cream to dark shades of gold (light golden, golden, and dark golden). Golden Retrievers have an average life span of 10 to 12 years.
This breed has certain characteristics such as a long coat (since Golden Retrievers have an inner coat and an outer coat that repels water), straight muzzle, and short ears. They have medium-sized eyes, often dark in colour.
Golden Retriever dogs are a kind and friendly breed. They are great dogs to play with because of their high activity levels. They are also pleasant, furry companions for children. Originally, Golden Retrievers were used as gun dogs to retrieve animals shot during hunting excursions.
Even though they need constant mental and physical exercise, it is advised to keep them in fenced areas since they constantly roam around. Golden Retrievers are not picky eaters and are prone to shedding hair in large quantities, especially during seasonal changes.
Golden Retrievers are one of the most obedient dogs. Just like Labradors and German Shepherds, this trait makes them useful as guide dogs for the blind, the deaf, and people with disabilities. They are also known to assist the police in narcotics detection, and the disaster risk management departments in search-and-rescue operations. These characteristics make them the third most popular dog breed in the United States.
#4. BULLDOG
__
The Bulldog is a medium-sized dog breed that came from England. They also referred to as British Bulldogs or English Bulldogs (different from French Bulldogs). They got the name Bulldogs because they were often used in the sport of bull-baiting. According to the AKC, they are available in 10 colours and 6 markings. Their average life span is shorter than the other dog breeds mentioned above, with 8 to 10 years.
Some of the most distinguishing characteristics of Bulldogs are a pushed-in nose, wrinkled face, wide shoulders, and sturdy limbs. They have a short muzzle and well-rounded cheeks. Their eyes are wide apart and are situated quite low in the skull.
Bulldogs belong in the non-sporting group of dogs. They are suitable for people who do not have extremely active lifestyles, although exercise is still a must. They are a stubborn breed and are used to figuring things out for themselves. Therefore, it is important to train them at a young age.
Bulldogs generally have a good sense of humor. They have a kind, resolute, and gentle demeanor. These characteristics enable them to have stronger bonds with children. They are not high-maintenance dogs because they shed minimally. However, their ears should be cleaned regularly to avoid buildup of wax and dirt.
The Bulldog breed is not a physically active dog breed. They may not be used as guard dogs like Labradors and German Shepherds, but they have a longstanding association with British culture. They are often used for recreational purposes, such as playing in the garden or walking with them in the park. Because of their docile nature, they would not get restless even if they were left alone for long periods of time.
#5. BEAGLE
__
Beagles are small dogs that belong to the hound group because of their keen sense of smell and great tracking skills. There is no clear information on the origin of Beagles, although dogs with similar appearances were first seen in ancient Greece. The modern breed we currently see came from Great Britain. They are available in 11 colours and 1 marking, and have an average life span of 12 to 15 years.
The most known physical characteristics of Beagles are a long skull, short hair, straight and medium-sized muzzle, long and moderately low ears, and small eyes. They have sloping shoulders and a broad chest. They also have strong and muscled hips and thighs.
Beagles are one of the favorite dog breeds because of their intelligence and good temper, which makes them nice companions for children. Another advantage of having a pet Beagle is that they do not inherit so many diseases as other dog breeds. They have high activity levels so they need constant physical and mental exercises.
It should be noted that Beagles are quite difficult to train because of their independence. However, this is a characteristic that is often found in most hound dogs. They are curious, cheerful, and lovable animals. Dog owners will have to brush their coats regularly to minimize shedding. The nails should be properly trimmed to prevent overgrowth.
Beagles are adored by people for their versatility. They are excellent detection dogs because they have a strong sense of smell. As a result, they are used by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency and the United States Department of Agriculture. They can detect agricultural products and other food items. On the other hand, Beagles of larger sizes are used to detect drugs, firearms and explosives.
This type of dog breed can be used in therapy to improve the mood of patients and as assistance dogs for people with disabilities. Beagles are even used by the police for search-and-rescue operations.
THE DEATH OF OUR DEAREST PET DOG IS ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC EXPERIENCES IN OUR LIVES.
__
Losing a pet dog is one of the worst things to happen to the life of a dog owner. Not only have they become our playmates, they have also become our family members and friends. The grief is even worse if your pet dog also assists you in therapy sessions or serves as your guide dog or protector.
There are different ways you can do in commemorating the life of your pet dog. You can opt to bury the remains of your pet dog or have your pet cremated.
If you choose to cremate your pet dog, there are many flexible decisions you can do. There are dog owners who would like to transform their pet dog’s cremains into a painting, while some would simply like to keep the ashes in a memorial urn and kept at home. However, there are dog owners who would think of more extraordinary ways to honor their pet dogs.
CAN I TURN MY DOG ASHES INTO A DIAMOND?
__
Yes, it is possible to turn cremated dog ashes into diamonds. These are called memorial diamonds, and in the cases of our pet dogs, dog memorial diamonds. The main component needed to make diamonds is carbon, an element found in humans and animals. Whereas natural diamonds are formed in the Earth’s mantle for billions of years, memorial diamonds from dog ashes can only be created in a span of months in a laboratory.

Still, it should be noted that there are certain factors that may affect the colour of your dog memorial diamonds, such as the chemical composition from your pet dog’s ashes. The colour can be manipulated through certain purification processes.
FORMATION OF DOG MEMORIAL DIAMONDS
__
After extracting and refining the carbon from your pet dog’s ashes, we use a belt press that will imitate the environment where natural diamonds are created, through high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). A diamond seed is placed in the inner core cube of the belt press. The temperature is set to more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. This will lead to the dissolution of the carbon source, and is followed by the crystallization of the diamond seed.
This process will produce raw memorial diamonds from dog ashes.
