Lu Lu was whelped on February 23, 2009 and is now 14 weeks old. She is a sweet little girl and would make a great family pet and/or a great hunting companion. She is up-to-date on her shots, she has had basic obedience training and is completely crate trained. For the most part Lu Lu is house broke but does still have an accident now and then. Lu Lu was previously owned by another family that realized their children were not ready for a puppy and they did not have the time to spend with her that she deserved. They invested a lot of money in Lu Lu but they did not have the time to spend with her she so deserved. They felt there would be a wonderful family out their that would give Lu Lu the time and attention she needed so she could grow into the wonderful dog she was bred to be. Are you that family? For further information please call us at 706-790-1126. Her price is a bargain at $700.00

Lulu's mother and father is Jesse and Lady

Heartworm Disease Prevention
Protects Pets, Wallets
-- Rise in Mosquito Population Causes New Warning --
The American Heartworm Society strongly urges pet owners to continue year-round heartworm prevention medication for their pets. It’s important not to cut back on preventatives as failing to administer them could cause harm to pets, and could actually increase the financial burden if heartworm disease treatment is needed. The warning comes as this year's increase in precipitation, widespread flooding across the country and surge of hurricanes has greatly increased the mosquito population. An increased mosquito population creates a greater potential for heartworm disease, even in indoor dogs and cats.
"As the United States economy continues to struggle, we as Americans closely inspect our monthly spending for what is and isn't necessary. It's tempting to cut preventative heartworm care for pets, but the cost of prevention is still relatively low compared to the cost of treatment if heartworm disease is diagnosed. Both dogs and cats may needlessly suffer and possibly die from this completely preventable disease. The risk from the increased mosquito population makes the need for prevention even greater this year," says Dr. Sheldon Rubin, American Heartworm Society president and Chicago area practitioner.
While there is no approved treatment for feline heartworm disease, it is easily prevented. The clinical presentation of feline heartworm disease has recently been redefined as Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease (HARD), an infection that can often lead to severe lung disease and sudden death. HARD is defined as such because heartworm disease may appear as respiratory signs which have frequently been misdiagnosed as feline asthma or allergic bronchitis. Through the KNOW Heartworms campaign, www.knowheartworms.org, the American Heartworm Society has partnered with the American Association of Feline Practitioners and Pfizer Animal Health to educate veterinarians and cat owners about this preventable disease.
While heartworm disease treatments are available for canines, the process of treating an infected dog is much more costly and dangerous than preventative measures. The treatment consists of a series of injections with a drug called melarsomine. The process is often painful and sometimes risky for the animal. Depending on the severity of the disease, the expense of treatment can run into many thousands of dollars.
Informational brochures, both canine and feline, are available from the American Heartworm Society, and generously provided by an educational grant from Pfizer Animal Health. They are also available from veterinarians.
