The Skye, one more time royal breed today !
Before our 21st century, the skye was among the most loved breeds by royal families : Mary Stuart, Archduchess Maria-Terezia of Austria, the queen Victoria, the queen Soraya, in the 80s the Grand-duchesse Charlotte of Luxembourg and others had got some. But after nothing... Except today, and almost in my country France ! For our greatest joy, a little cream Skye, White Crimil dell’ Antica Caledonia, has become the favourite of Princess Stéphanie de Monaco ! I hope that it will increase the popularity of our heavenly breed...

Some medicines are extremely dangerous for Skyes (not for other breeds of dogs) and can cause death. It is above all Ivermectin (for example Ivermect, Heartguard...), and maybe other molecules as morphine. This deadly sensitivity would be caused by a mutant gene which would be specific to this breed. Collies die from administering Ivermectin too and have got a well identified mutant gene. So the Skye terrier foundation had undertook, with an american university, to analyze DNA of Skyes from all over the world, in order to verify if their mutant gene is the same than collies’ mutant gene. And they have discovered that it is absolutely not the case. Then research has to continue...
Swiffer WetJet toxic enough to kill a big dog !
For persons who have little children or pets, please, make circulate this warning to all persons whom you know even if you haven’t got young children or pets, because they can know people who have some. The town of Blainville in France asks to make circulate this warning. A couple of Blainville had got a dog, a five years old German shepherd who came just to die from an hepatic failure. The dog was in perfect health until some weeks before, so they asked an autopsy on the dog in order to know the cause of the death.
The liver was in a pitiful condition, as if the dog had ingested a sort of poison. The dog was kept indoor and when he was outdoor, there always was someone with him. The idea that he would have found something dangerous was little probable. Then, the couple began to examine all products in the house. When they arrived to the Swiffer WetJet, they read that warning :
“Can be dangerous for little children and pets”.
They called the company to know the composition of the cleaning agent and were dumbfounded to discover that antifreeze is one of the ingredients. More precisely, the company answered them that it is a compound which is identical except for a molecule antifreeze. Then, only walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, licking his own paws and eating in his bowl which was kept on the floor of the kitchen cleaned with the solution, the dog has ingested much solution enough to destroy his liver. Just after the death of their dog, the two cats of their cleaning lady were dead from hepatic failure too. She used the Swiffer WetJet for a quick cleaning.
No autopsy has been made on the cats in order to these people can’t be able to start legal action against the company. But the owner has asked to spread quickly this story to avoid other poisonings.
Don’t use the Swiffer WetJet if you have young children or pets at home.
Please, cast this message.
Thank you !

Fipronil may be dangerous for dogs
Everybody in France knows the sad affair of the insecticide Régent (for its real name fipronil), which is so toxic for bees that it brought about death for them. But what we don’t know, in general, that’s this insecticide would have from scientific studies similar effects for men and animals. But fipronil is sold in veterinary pharmacy as the most known anti-fleas for dogs and cats in France. So if one offers you an anti-fleas for your pet, it is very probable that it contains fipronil. No study of toxicity has been done on several years, so I can only ask you an extreme caution...
