Pets - 6 November 2006

I've done research on a few breeds but I haven't found any that I'm really sold on yet, or even slightly leaning towards! I'm moving into a large apartment/smallish condo sort of deal with my friend next year and I want a puppy. So I need something that's relatively small (not like a toy dog or ridiculously tiny or anything), kind of medium-sized, doesn't shed a lot, and is pretty easy to train. I've been really interested in the miniature/bull terrier if anyone has more info on that!

My labrador is constantly biting and scratching his skin and paws, sometimes until they are raw. He has been to the vet several times for skin scrapings which always come out negative for everything! He does not have fleas. We have tried feeding him wheat free and corn free diets which didn't seem to help. We also tried washing his bedding in perfume&dye free detergent. Any other ideas?

Some dog owners told me that it was best and natural for dogs to gradually switch to raw meat.
Is this really a good idea and is this okay for puppies too?

Okay I know there are alot of questions out there about house training pets. But I feel like none fit my story. I have a beagle she's 8 months. and My boyfriend just got a puppy basset hound. Well we just bought this house and when we moved in the carpet was fairly new, but with my beagle we ended up tearing the carpet out and putting in wood floors because it was bad. SO my beagle finally got house trained a little bit (only some accidents). But now that the puppy is here, she's been peeing EVERYWHERE, on my bed, the futon, couch, area rugs. The puppy too, he's 9 weeks old. We bought a crate, but we're not sure what to do. At night we put the puppy in it and then in the morning let him out, but during the day he pees everywhere, even 5 mintutes after we take him outside, and my beagle is nonstop peeing too. They're ruining my house! How do I use the crate? Do I need to buy 2 of them, or can they share the same one? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US AND OUR SWEET (BUT DRIVING ME CRAZY) DOGS TOO!

How much do they cost? What do they eat and their sanitation. Are they friendly? How big do they grow?

homes. I cant believe what I see every year where I live. All the forest is being taken down and more and more homes are being built where the forest was once. What do you think is going to happen when these deer's couger's and so on run out of places to live?

My 9 year old son wants a pet lizard. I was told that Eyelash Crested Geckos were a good start. Easy to take care of and have a long life span (as far as they know). Does anyone have any comments or suggestions? Never had a pet lizard before so I don't even know where to start.

Need three extra possible registration names for a 3y/o appy gelding. He's chestnut with a small white blanket. Sort of has a mind of his own. He is a sweetheart. Likes to be babied a lot.

If so, he/she might be in danger of nasty punctures around the neck area. If the collar is too powerful, it burns right through the fur and skin of thedogs neck. Please check your dogs neck and if he has punctures from the collar in his/her neck, go to the vet immeditally. This is for only people whose dogs leave the yard even with the electric collar.

IMPORTANT: She has trouble chewing her Purina Little Bites, so she just swallows it. Can anyone recommend a food that's easier for little teeth to break up?

I am thinking of getting a puppy but have an adorable one year old cat, who is happy and the centre of attention! How will she react to a puppy? Will the fact that she is young help her to accept it more easily? I couldn't bear to change her life around and make her feel rejected or insecure. I will of course still give her as much love as ever!
