DID YOU KNOW?!
The Rouen is a heavyweight breed of domesticated duck.Rouens are raised primarily for meat, exhibition,or as general purpose ducks. Since they are not prolific egg layers, Rouen ducks are most commonly bred for their meat.The breed originated in France sometime before the 19th century.

The plumage coloring of both the Rouen drake and the Rouen duck are nearly identical to that of the Mallard drake and Mallard duck. The Rouen color pattern is referred to as gray.Males have dark yellow bills,green heads, white collars, black tail coverts and dark, ashy brown tail feathers, a dark gray upper back and light gray lower body, a deep claret breast, and bright orange legs and feet. The female Rouen hens are a consistent shade of mahogany brown, with a brown crown and tan eye-stripes extending from bill to the back of the eyes, and a brown bill.

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE :
-source of meat
-can also serve as ornamental pets in parks and homes 🏡

Did you know?!
The Siamese fighting fish are endemic to the central plain of Thailand, where they were first domesticated at least 1,000 years ago, among the longest of any fish.They were initially bred for aggression and subject to gambling matches akin to cockfighting. Bettas became known outside Thailand through King Rama III (1788–1851), who is said to have given some to Theodore Cantor, a Danish physician, zoologist, and botanist.
Bettas are well known for being highly territorial, with males prone to attacking each other if housed in the same tank; without a means of escape, this will usually result in the death of one or both fish. Female bettas can also become territorial towards one another in confined spaces.Bettas are exceptionally tolerant of low oxygen levels and poor water quality, owing to their special labyrinth organ, a characteristic unique to the suborder Anabantoidei that allows for the intake of surface air.
In addition to its worldwide popularity, the Siamese fighting fish is the national aquatic animal of Thailand which remains the primary breeder and exporter of bettas for the global aquarium market. Despite their abundance as pets, B. splendens is listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN, due to increasing pollution and habitat destruction.

Siamese fighting fish display complex behavioural patterns and social interactions, which vary among individual specimens.Research indicates they are capable of associative learning, in which they adopt a consistent response following exposure to new stimuli.

Betta fish can exhibit unusual sleep behaviors, often resulting in new betta owners assuming that their betta fish has died.

Ever heard of The Swedish Blue?!
The Swedish blue is a breed of domestic duck originated in the former dominion of Swedish Pomerania (now in north-west Poland and north-east Germany). It is known as a good forager

The Swedish Blue is a medium-sized bird: drakes weigh some 3–4 kg, ducks about 2.5–3.5 kg. It is rather shorter and broader in body shape than breeds such as the Cayuga or Orpington;the body is rounded, plump and full-breasted, the back is straight and fairly flat, and is about half as long again as it is broad.The body is carried at an angle of about 20° to the horizontal.The head is long, oval and finely made.There are three colour varieties, of which only one the blue is recognised in the standards.

Economic importance
-Meat
-lay about 100–150 white or tinted (blue or green) eggs per year, of some 80–90 g in weight.

Ever heard of the Razanandrongobe?!

Razanandrongobe (meaning "ancestor [of the] large lizard" in Malagasy) is a genus of carnivorous ziphosuchian crocodyliform from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar. It contains the type and only species Razanandrongobe sakalavae, named in 2004 by Simone Maganuco and colleagues based on isolated bones found in 2003. The remains, which included a fragment of maxilla and teeth, originated from the Bathonian-aged Sakaraha Formation of Mahajanga, Madagascar. While they clearly belonged to a member of the Archosauria, perceived to be the predecessor of the modern day crocodiles.

Razanandrongobe is the largest known Jurassic non-marine member of the Mesoeucrocodylia, and the largest member of the Notosuchia overall. In life, the length of its skull likely surpassed that of Barinasuchus, which has been estimated at 88 centimetres (35 in) long.

The volcanic snail, which is the only animal in the world that has iron in its skeleton. Also known as the sea pangolin, it uses iron to build its shell and generate metal scales that cover its flesh, essentially becoming a snail with a metal armor.

The shell is of a unique construction, with three layers; the outer layer consists of iron sulphides, the middle layer is equivalent to the organic periostracum found in other gastropods, and the innermost layer is made of aragonite. The foot is also unusual, being armored at the sides with iron-mineralised sclerites.

This species inhabits the hydrothermal vent fields of the Indian Ocean. It lives adjacent to both acidic and reducing vent fluid, on the walls of black-smoker chimneys, or directly on diffuse flow sites.

1929 German Sieger
Utz von Haus Schutting SchH III Kkl 1

1929 Sieger
Utz von Haus Schutting SchH III
SZ # 331999
Breeder: Dr. W. Funk; Hannover Germany
Born: March 12, 1926

"Utz is a picture of balance, a front with long upper arm and well laid back shoulder, good back, croup and he is, up on his feet, strong pasterns. He was considered ideal. When we look at the pedigree of Utz it is hard not to notice the prevalence of Hettal. He also traces to Flora through the two from the B litter Reideckenburg and Diethelm from the D litter. The tail female line goes back to the unknown that were probably herding stock. He also traces to Von Stephanitz’s other herding lines, (Audifax and Adalo) through Diethelm and Falko respectively.

When Klodo became Sieger in 1925 he was just starting to be known for his breeding worth even though he was four years old. He went to the United States shortly after that but the German records show that he produced 634 progeny before he went.

If he were at stud for two years it would mean that he produced 317 offspring a year for his two years at stud, about 25 a month or four litters - not bad.

Even though the quality of Klodo's get was obvious it was not until 1929 that one became Sieger. That son was Utz von Haus Scheutting. He also left the country for the United States shortly after becoming Sieger. His progeny numbers do not match those of Klodo. Utz shows just 177 offspring in the short time he was at stud in Germany. It could be because he was so different. They did not realize his breeding value until after he had gone.

There was a thing about missing teeth that would have deterred a large number of German breeders. Utz was the great mutation. He totally dominated everything he was bred to, this domination extended throughout the world for years to come. It is as if he had started his own breed. In Germany today the breed is still built around the Utz legacy."

1925 VA1 SGR, CH.Klodo vom Boxberg

SCHH
Kkl 1
Sire Born : 20. August 1921

Von Stephanitz had become alarmed at the trend in the breed toward oversized square dogs. Other problems included lack of steady temperament and faults of dentition. He and the breed wardens decided drastic measures needed to be taken. At the 1925 Sieger show von Stephanitz selected Klodo von Boxberg as world sieger. This dog was dramatically different from the type of dog that had gone before him. He was of lower station, deeper and longer in body, short in loin and with a far-reaching gait. As it turned out Klodo proved to be a potent sire, successfully heralding a "new" type of shepherd. That same year Klodo was imported to America by A. Gilbert of Maraldene Kennels in Hamden, Connecticut. Klodo, through a number of important sons and daughters, is largely responsible for the faults and virtues of modern North American lines.

Threshold refers to the distance your dog can notice a trigger and be alert to it, but not upset by it—as in when the dog crosses over from one emotional state to another. Think of the threshold as your dog's protective bubble.

Biomechanical fundamentals of canine locomotion in the trotting dog

I occasionally make comparisons between the German Shepherd Dog and the grey wolf. And for good reason - it is considered by most paleontologists and scientists to be the GSD's ancestor and arguably the worlds most efficient trotting canine.

Occasionally I see cheap comments that suggest maybe I am saying the GSD should look like the grey wolf, and of course that is absurd, a bit like me criticising some aspect of the form of a human being and receiving a comment that suggests I am saying humans should look like Neanderthal man!

The grey wolf was in a number of key respects, including its colour, a desired outward form when Captain von Stephanitz created the breed, however there were some key characteristics that he amended to that form that make the two very different!

One of them was this.:

Captain von Stephanitz wanted endurance associated with a long stride, not endurance based on lots of short strides - like a wolf. He wanted longer and therefore less strides to cover the same distance.. This in his mind, would make the German Shepherd more superior than the grey wolf in terms of a long distance trotting dog - another story for another time based on the cost of energy consumption per mile.

To achieve this meant the German Shepherd Dog required the same straight back (thoracolumbar), long pelvis, the same perfectly balanced bones of the fore and hindquarter, but longer femur/tibia/scapula/humerus bones and more fore and hind angulation. This increase in bone length and bone angle created more trunk/chest depth and less foreleg length, more angle to the pelvis/croup, a lower hip/knee position and consequently a slight slope to the back. As the angulation gets excessive this increases tibia torque and hock instability.

I believe knowing this background and reasoning, assists serious students of the breed to better understand it especially in terms of canine locomotion.

Owning a dog is more than just a privilege; it’s a responsibility.They rely on us for so many things which includes food, shelter and so much more.But more importantly do you create time for your dog?!
