Protein Needs
What is Protein?
11
www.sportingdogjournal.info o
Nitrogen Balance
Dogs have a daily requirement for
certain amino acids and nitrogen,
and both are supplied by daily ingestion of protein. A measurement of
nitrogen intake and excretion by the
body provides a rough estimate of
the bodys overall protein status, and
this is called the nitrogen balance.
Nitrogen balance=nitrogen intake nitrogen excreted through urine &
feces
A zero nitrogen balance exists
when the intake of protein (nitrogen)
equals the amount lost through feces
and urine. However, some situations
exist where a dog is in a positive or
negative nitrogen balance. Dogs
with a positive nitrogen balance are
eating more protein (nitrogen) than
they are excreting: nitrogen intake >
nitrogen excretion. Positive nitrogen
balances occur, for example, in growing puppies and pregnant bitches
when these dogs are fed well. Dogs
with a negative nitrogen balance are
excreting more protein than they are
ingesting: nitrogen intake < nitrogen excretion. No dog should have
a negative nitrogen balance because
the body is forced to use its own organ tissues to provide amino acids for
routine body functions and growth of
new tissues. Dogs that have a negative nitrogen balance are those who
are underfed, are fed poor quality protein diets, have severe illness or injury
(may not be eating or not enough
to meet their protein requirements),
and have renal failure or intestinal
problems. Performance dogs should
never have a negative nitrogen balance. High quality proteins that are

Protein Needs
of The Performance Dog
Training and exercise will increase
your dogs protein requirement.
How much of an increase is still under debate. An agility dog probably
has different protein requirements
compared to a long distance sled
dog compared to an average house
dog. No matter what kind of performance dog you have, however, dogs
in training and competition have an
increased need for protein. Training
and exercising increases synthesis
of plasma (blood) proteins. This increases blood volume that in turn
allows the heart to circulate more
blood to muscles with less effort.
Training also increases the number
of red blood cells allowing a higher
supply of oxygen to muscles. Lastly,
competitive dogs have higher numbers of contractile proteins in their
muscles allowing muscles to contract
better. They also generate a higher
concentration of energy compared
to untrained muscle. Environmental
temperature also will change your
dogs daily protein requirement. In
colder temperatures your dog grows
more hair to keep their internal temperature constant, and hair has a
very high protein content. You also
should keep your performance dog
on a high quality protein diet even
during the nontraining/ non-compe-
Do a calculation to determine
if 30-35% of the calories in your
dogs diet are from protein. This is
what most literature currently recommends for performance dogs [Note:
You have to convert the as fed percentage to a dry matter percentage].

Makaveli was on the war path now and
looking to make Grand Champion and the
stage was set for number 5. For this one Makaveli was hooked into DPGS Otis. This was the
one that was going to put Mack on his ass or
so they said. Makaveli put Otis away in 47 minutes making him Iron Warriors Gr. Ch. Mackavelli, one off the greatest dogs alive. Gr. Ch.
Makaveli is said to be one hell of a bulldog by
everyone who has seen him do his thing. Iron
Warrior Kennels are now putting some of the
best gyps they can find under Makaveli. Makaveli has already put on the ground a 2xw male,
and one bad assgyp for Iron Warrior. A few people I know have bred to Mack, he should put
some good ones on the ground. Makaveli was
a front end and back end dog and would take
all ofthem out in this fashion. Makaveli was also
a 4xB.I.S. Every hoglost game. He only had to
make 3 scratches during hunts in his entire career. He is one of the best, if not the BEST in the
country. Iron Warriors Gr. Ch Makaveli is off ofa

ORPHANED PUPPIES
a few really useful tips
Raising an orphaned puppy is often required given the breed we raise. It can be a very exhausting
and rewarding time, the bonding that occurs in
the first few days will likely last many years. However, orphaned puppies are very fragile and raising
them can be challenging. Do not be disappointed
if you are unsuccessful.
vet tek @ big sky kennels
What problems
am I likely to encounter?
Several critical problems must be addressed
in caring for orphaned puppies. Among
these are hypothermia, dehydration, and
hypoglycemia. These problems are interrelated and may often exist at the same time.
Close observation and prompt attention if
any of these problems develop are essential
to survival. Of course, proper feeding of the
orphaned puppy is extremely important.
Chilling or Hypothermia
Chilling or hypothermia in newborn puppies
can lead to significant mortality. A puppy
will lose far more body heat per pound of
body weight than an adult dog. The normal
newborn puppy depends upon radiant heat
from its mother to help maintain its body
temperature. In the absence of the mother,
various methods of providing heat, such as
incubators, heat lamps, or hot water
bottles can be used.
Rectal temperatures in a normal newborn puppy range
from 95 to 99F (35 to
37.2C) for the first week, 97
to 100F (36.1 to 37.8C)
for the second and third
weeks, and reach the
normal temperature of
an adult (100 to 102F)
(37.8 to 38.9C) by the
fourth week.
When the rectal tem-
perature drops below 94F (34.3C), the accompanying metabolic alterations are lifethreatening. Therefore, immediate action is
necessary to provide the warmth the puppy
needs to survive. A healthy newborn can
usually survive chilling if warmed slowly.
During the first four days of its life, the
orphaned puppy should be maintained in
an environmental temperature of 85 to
90F (29.4 to 32.2C). The temperature may
gradually be decreased to 80F (26.7C) by
the seventh to tenth day and to 72F (22.2C)
by the end of the fourth week. If the litter is
large, the temperature need not be as high.
As puppies huddle together, their body heat
provides additional warmth.
Caution: Rapidly warming a chilled puppy
may result in its death. Gradually warm a
hypothermic puppy over thirty to sixty minutes.
Dehydration
The lack of regular liquid intake or the exposure of the puppy to a low humidity environment can easily result in dehydration.
The inefficiency of the digestion and metabolism of a chilled puppy may also lead to
dehydration and other changes. Two signs of
dehydration are the loss of elasticity in the
skin and dry and sticky mucous membranes
(gums) in the mouth. An environmental relative humidity of 55 to 65 percent is adequate
to prevent drying of the skin in a normal
newborn puppy. However, a relative humidity of 85 to 90 percent is more effective in
maintaining puppies if they are small and
weak. Place a warm, wet washcloth in the
puppies box to help maintain humidity. A
humidifier is also an excellent tool to maintain proper humidity for the puppies.
Caution: The environmental temperature
should not exceed 90F (32.2C) when high
humidity is provided. A temperature of 95F
(35.0C) coupled with relative humidity of 95
percent can lead to respiratory distress.
o www.sportingdogjournal.info
22
Hypoglycemia
Signs of hypoglycemia or low blood
sugar are severe depression, muscle twitching and convulsions. If a
puppy shows signs of hypoglycemia, a solution containing glucose
must be administered. A few drops
of corn syrup on the tongue can be
life saving.
What do I feed
my orphaned puppy?
Total nutrition for the newborn orphans must be supplied by a milk
replacer until the puppies are about
three weeks of age. At this age, the
puppies are ready to start nibbling
moistened solid food.
Preferred diets
1. A commercial puppy milk replacer
2. For short-term emergencies, combine:
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 pinch of salt
3 egg yolks (no whites)
Blend mixture uniformly
Is the temperature of the food
important? Since the newborn may
have trouble generating enough
heat to maintain its body temperature, the milk replacer should be
warmed to 95o to 100o F (35 to 37.8o)
for the best results. Test the milk replacers temperature on your forearm
(as for babies) before feeding. The
milk replacer should be about the
same temperature as your skin or
only slightly warmer. As the puppies
grow older, the milk replacer can be
fed at room temperature.

complete bar. We were having a couple
of beers and shooting some pool waiting on Gilley and his crew to arrive. Someone stepped downstairs and said here they
come, you better come have a look. Well I
climbed the stairs and looked outside. As far
as I could see there was nothing but headlights coming in our direction. It looked like
rush hour in Los Angeles from where I was
looking. The first car to pull up was Jim Uselton driving a new Cadilac, then followed by
a fleet of nice looking pickup trucks and cars.
We was going to have a huge crowd of spectators. I had told Glen that hardly anyone
would care enough to come watch. Looks
like I lied.
After about another hour everyone that
was coming was present. People made it
from the gameroom out to the barn where
the pit was. Gilley and I got together with
Uselton, flipped a coin to see who would
wash first, then wieghed. We were both on
weight so we went ahead with the wash.
We used Glens bathtub for the wash. I had
to wash first, so. I was the first to enter the
pit. Everyone was in a good mood and
seemed to be very serious. It wasnt like the

Hello friends ,
As you know with success comes
also the envy and hate of the competitor who success makes uncomfortable
. I think that is good when people actually express what they feel. Here are a
few merits that these dogs have gained.
Alfred Ramirez I think seen Chili and
Copper. He knows how my enemies
got togherger to win over Carmela
Soprano and how that did not worked
out. Alfred himself seen Macho 1xw
seen Cheyenne at 6 years old a monster and at almost 10 dead game. Seen
AB destroyed and seem him pushed 5
pounds !! 5 fucking pounds.
Am I proud and thankful for these
dogs? Yes indeed. I am sure that all my
friends are too. As a Dogman I have
been blessed to see other great dogs
from other families for which I am
thankful that I was able to see. I am sure
all of us are mostly greatful to seen a
few of these great dogs. I feel blessed
for this.
Chico, their envy and hate is proof
of your success. (Alfred Ramirez) Thanks
dude! Now Here is what Mr. Gargamel
seen with his eyes. The below writing
was translated with google translator.

Radonjic's JUMBO. They took LOLA to Montenegro in Radonjic's yard and they bred her
to JUMBO. He was a white coloured dog with
red spots on his body. But there they saw his
brother GIPSY, who was red with a black mask.
They liked him too and bred LOLA to him
that evening. Next morning they bred LOLA
once more to JUMBO and they went home. 2
months latter the litter was born and most of
the pups were coloured as JUMBO. GIPSY got
killed deadgame in the match vs TOM JR and
Radonjic suggested to them to register that
litter as pups off of JUMBO, they agreed and
that was it.
LOLA earned R.O.M. title with that single
litter where there were GR. CH. CRNOOKI 5W,
CH. BELI 3W, CH. BELA 3W, SARENKO 2W and
SIVI 1D R.O.M.! Those dogs were matched in
top competition and won over many known
dogs and dogmen.
I remember once, 10 years ago, when my
friend E.T. visited me. At that time he owned
Rebel kennels' GR. CH. SAMSON and Rebel
kennels' CH. TURTLE R.O.M. He told me that
he saw Lola's litter when they were around 3
months old. They were very hot and he said
that both, Vlado and Slobo told him - "This
litter will be full of Champions!" I think they
didn't know back then how close to the truth
they were.
From that litter came some of the best
dogs ever:

Champions and winners, so everybody talked about that phenomenal litter. At that time
in Montenegro there was another great dog
in similar weight, Komany's CH. GIROUX, a 4x
winner and one draw at 2 hr 45 min against
Trisic's SPIKE, who was brother to Boban's
CH. YANKEE. CH. GIROUX won his Championship title by beating the legendary - CH. YANKEE (who was 2x winner then) at 1 hr 08 min.
That win blew reputation of GIROUX high in
the sky. He was a typical defensive dog, he
worked only ears and nose and was very
good doing that, he had a great air and was
a deep game dog. He was sired by Radonjic's GIPSY, who was brother to JUMBO, sire of
CH. CRNOOKI. So, they were halfbrothers in
blood. Match was held in 1995 in Podgorica,
Montenegro and agreed weight was 20,2 kg,
the referee was Trisic. There were more than
500 spectators, bet was huge. CRNOOKI was
21,15 kg, GIROUX under at 19,8 kg. Dogs
started as everyone expected, GIROUX on
head, CRNOOKI in shoulders. CRNOOKI stronger and making big damage. Both get hot, at
20 min first out of hold, GIROUX scratched
fast. But he was down, CRNOOKI punishing
him hard. GIROUX scratched few times really game on his shaky legs. After his scratch
at 57 min Krkeljic picked up his game dog.
This win put CRNOOKI among the "living legends". GR. CH. CRNOOKI died in Bijeljina Boys
yard, at the age of 12 years. q

This account of a notorious dogfighter is based on a true story including shocking details of how an innocent
little boy from a rural village in Nebraska grew up to reign soverenity in the seemingly barbaric sport of
professional dogfighting for a period of well over a quarter of a century while at the same time successfully
teaching in a public school. During this time the Schoolteacher (as he was known to the underground world)
maintained to those close to him that (as bazzare as it may seem) dogfighting was the best thing that ever happened to him!!! Nearly 40 years later while in prison for his involvement in the so-called sport,he realizes in a
provocative way that dogfighting would lead to his life changing education. Contains detailed stories of many
famous pit dogs and dogmen with facts that are sure to be contrary to the misinformed.
