little known facts and secrets and how to care for every aspect of
the Miniature Poodle's life. You will learn about how their ancient

highly intelligent and active dog continues to enjoy in today's
modern world. This Manual contains all the information you need in
order to make a well-informed decision about whether or not the
Miniature Poodle is the breed for you. Co-Author Asia Moore is a
professional Dog Whisperer, Cynologist and Author, living on
Vancouver Island, off the west coast of British Columbia, in
Canada, who believes that all humans and dogs can live together in
harmony. She and her dog whispering team, which includes an
8-year-old Shih Tzu named Boris, teach dog psychology to humans, to
help alleviate problem behaviors that arise between humans and
their canine counterparts so that everyone can live a happy and
stress-free life together.
Some people, however many times they read that spider monkeys are
not good pets, decide to buy one. This book is a guide of how to
make the monkeys as happy as possible in a domesticated
environment, knowing that they will never really be happy as they
are born to live in the wild. There really is no "good way" of
keeping any monkeys as pets and the spider monkey is no exception.
Spider monkeys are strong, wild animals who can cause serious
damage if taken away from their natural environment. They can
become very scared, very aggressive towards other animals and human
beings and often, they end up in very poor health. Too many monkeys
die because their owners don't know how to care for them. A lot of
monkeys are bought from the black market but the people buying them
don't even know this. Breeders are extremely cruel by ripping away
baby monkeys from their mothers when they are only a few weeks old,
making it a very distressing experience for the baby monkey and the
mum. Keeping primates as pets is wrong and cruel for the animal.
You cannot take a non-domesticated animal and than expect to have a
lovely pet like a cat or a dog. Spider monkeys are unfortunately
fast turning into endangered species. People, sadly, are their
greatest enemy. People hunt them down for meat and also drag them
into lucrative pet trade. However, despite all this, people still
get spider monkeys as pets. This book is for those people. If you
DO decide to get a spider monkey, regardless of all the problems
surrounding these animals. please make their home as pleasant as
possible and please, please, love them dearly. The opening chapter
of this book, which explores the fascinating lives of these
creatures in the tropical rain forests of South and Central
America, proves otherwise. No one should attempt to welcome a
spider monkey into their home or life without first understanding
their social and psychological complexity, which has a direct
bearing on their behaviour in captivity. This book provides a
thoughtful commentary on the importance of environment, which is
crucial to creating an appropriate habitat for a pet spider monkey.
I also focus on the daily care these creatures require, the
intricacies of constructing a home environment for them, and the
necessity of regular and thorough veterinary care. You will also
find a resource and reference section, which includes common terms,
sources for supplies, and owner discussion and support groups,
followed by concluding remarks and a Glossary. Appendix I is a list
of legal provisions in the United States and the United Kingdom
relevant to keeping spider monkeys as pets. Appendix II lists
primate sanctuaries. Sadly, many pet monkeys are given up as they
age. At sexual maturity, monkeys become more aggressive and are
often uncontrollable. Zoos will not adopt primates that have been
raised as pets, so sanctuaries play a vital role in protecting
these animals that, by the circumstances of their raising, really
don't act like monkeys. Where applicable, the text provides
information for both the United States and the United Kingdom. The
end result is not just another pet "how to" book, but an honest
attempt to prepare any prospective spider monkey owner for the
life-long commitment they are undertaking. Having a spider monkey
as a pet is rather like adopting a child. This easily accessible
text is a must read for anyone contemplating adopting a monkey. The
advice is straightforward and practical and will benefit both sides
of the equation - man and monkey.
