Dogs are rated each year as the most popular. I think Golden Retrivers still hold the top rank. Boxers, my choice are number #8. But I want to know what makes your breed special and the best in your opinion.

We just rescued 4 precious beagle/lab mix puppies (2 girls, 2 boys). They're about 8 weeks old, and were never wormed until we got them yesterday. The worm issue seems to be getting better, and we plan a vet visit soon. We're planning to take care of them for about a month & resolve their health issues & find good homes for them- our hands are full with the 2 beagles we already have! I have 2 main questions: how should I work with them on potty training, and how should we crate them? They're crated together now, and they're not having a problem using the bathroom where they sleep. If I separate them will it help? And should I take them outside to pee one at a time? One more question, how much exercise do they need? We play with them as much as possible, but do have to keep them crated intermitently during the day and at night. Thanks for any advice!!

My puppy is 9 weeks old and I am in the process of trying to potty train her. She does really good when I take her outside (every 2 hours) but I keep finding poop in the house every now and then. Am I supposed to punish her even if I don't catch her doing it? Will she even know what she is being punished for? What are your suggestions? thanks

I don't have a kitten, but I'm learning as much as I can before I get one. But I'm confused about this one. Will it bother the kittens diet or anything? Thank you everyone.

I am thinking about adopting a 9 yr old chihuahua. Any thoughts? This would be my first own dog. The chi is fully house trained, and very well behaved. She doesn't bark very much and loves playing and cuddleing.
As this is my first dog, is it wise to take on a 9 yr old, or is this easier as she is already fully trained?

Every time we go riding, Juliet's (Pinto mare) sides, right were the cinch and the inside of the stirrup are at, she rubs it open on both sides and it makes her bleed. We've tried everything from getting another saddle to getting a super padded cinch! What do i do? I want to still ride her but i can't if she keeps opening up and bleeding.

Everytime I might go to the kitchen and get something to eat, my dog will come right beside me and stare at me. If I sit down at the table with my food, he will stand right by my chair and stare at me, and start whining. He gets plenty to eat, and we feed him three times everyday. When he does this, I feel like a bad pet owner...like he's starving or something. He is not a huge dog, he's a poodle. Do most dogs do this? I don't have much experience with them.

I have a young German Sheperd who I got out of the pound. He is a sick dog - stopped eating, seems to have painful gas, very dehydrated and has had a bad cases of diareah in the past. Spent a small fortune at the vet and they can't tell me what is wrong other than his intestines/bowel is dialated and it could be gas. They kept him overnight worried that his bowel had twisted - that was not the case. He was very dyhydrated when i took him to the vet friday.
This weekend at home, he was in a lot of pain becasue of gas ( i think) I gave him gas-x and that seemed to work temporarily. does anyone know of some long term solutions, diet? things to help with digestion or strange bacteria in digestive tract?
He has had stomach, diareah..problems a lot since i have had him. He seems very uncomfortable and unhappy.
