My new puppy is 10wks. old, we got her last friday, and I'm 100% positive she's a mutt. Beyond that, I really would like to know what she's a mix of. We were told that she is a border collie/ lab mix, however upon research, we began to think she had pitbull terrier in her.

Phoenix is SOOO full of energy. He is about 6 months old. We were aware that he would be a high maintance, playful pet. But we just cant seem to get him to pay attention or settle down long enough to learn anything...he just wants to GO, GO, GO......He will run through our flower garden and grab a flower in his mouth on the way through it, to the other side of the yard and knock over the bird bath, than jump on me spilling my coffee down my shirt...LOL...this is just an example. Its not like he never gets attention. We have a huge fenced in back yard and the kids and I are always back there playing with him.

Phoenix also, for some reason, will potty where ever he happens to be standing...on the concrete under the basketball hoop, in front of his kennel, right in front of the garage door, WHERE EVER...

We get frusturated with him but also laugh because he is so adorible...maybe thats our first mistake. LOL

i thought i had eggs but i don't think that's what it is. anyway, i put my female in there and shes been in there for 3 days but no spawning has happened. my male betta was the one my granny gave me before she passed away 2 monthes ago. i don't know how old he is but i have an idea. i think maybe he is too old to spawn now =(. My female is still a young betta so i know it's not her that's causing the problem. any ideas???

My border collie Fly whose 14 months bit his dog trainer last night at classes, he and another dog were growling at each other and the other owner and i went to move our dogs back and Fly lunged at the other dog and my trainer managed to get in the way and Fly bit her leg, I am absolutelu gutted as I have a 12 year old and a 10 year old and I am so scared he will do the same to them. I have worked so hard wihe Fly since I forst got him, see my other questions and I really don't want to put him down only as a last resort,he has tried to nip my husband in the past but we stopped it by yelling ouch, he does have an aggresive streak in him but this really scares me, he never drew blood thank god though. He is fine with everyone else and is a aocial chap its just this one dog that he has taken a dislike to but also the trainer went into the middle of the fight to break it up, I use a head halti for him and i have a muzzle just incase. What the hell do i do? Please help me.

I just inherited a year-old water turtle and he looks like he could use a friend to swim with. anyone know what, if any, other aquatic or reptilian animals can live with a water turtle? as far as i've read he'll eat most other potential roommates unless it's another turtle. he's in a 20 gallon tank, water filled halfway with a rock dock for basking.

The breeder won't sell me a show potential puppy unless I'm committed to showing her or I pay the breeder to show her for me. The only non-show puppy she has is a runt. I don't want a runt for various reasons. I want a good representation of the breed (Shetland Sheepdog), that's why I'm willing to pay the show dog price, but I don't want to show the dog (lack of time, etc). She won't sell me a show dog unless I show it! Is that normal? Or, should I find a different breeder?

I just got a new puppy. It's a puggle (pug/beagle mix) & I was wondering if there was a GPS chip that I could put inside of her/on her so if she got lost I could find her......

I've heard about the microchip that the shelter can scan....but what if no one takes her to a shelter?

Does anyone know of something like this?

My parents have two dogs a black lab and a springer spaniel. When I moved out of my parents for a few months the black lab started to poo in my old bedroom, but when i moved back in she stopped doing this. She does it in pratically the same spot everytime.

A couple of weeks ago i went away for a long week end and she had done it again.

She is house trained and we have never had a problem with her before. We know it is her as she doesnt come in the room until it is cleared up and she is sure she wont get told off.

Any ideas why she does this?

I have a 3year old neutered male, Oliver, and we recently got a female kitten, Penny. At first we thought he wanted to kill her, but turned out he got used to her and they play together. He plays a bit rough, holding her down and biting her, but sometimes he is also tender, licking her or letting her chase him and vice versa. He lets her eat from his food, but she is sometimes getting on his nerves so most of the time he hits and bites her (not injuring her though). Now we are leaving for a few days, so Penny is in a cattery. Oliver is back to his old self, calm, purring at us, which had stopped while Penny was here (he only played rough with her, he didn't care about us or cuddled up with me as he used to). The question is, is he happier with penny around or not? Does he prefer to have a play-mate or does he prefer to be calm alone with "mummy" (me), that he really loves?

She is very stubborn,and is still jumping up and biting. She is pretty good for my husband, but my 7 year old daughter and I have a hard time with her. She is almost three months old. We are consistent with her training, but it is very slow going. Do you think she would benefit from training class, or will she outgrow this puppy behavior anytime soon?

Dog is docile, quiet and lovable. My partner rescued him - was traumatised and abandoned as a puppy. Now I share studio with boyfriend and, although I vacuum all the time to remove hair, I've had recurrent eye infections, urinary infections and vaginal infections. May be no connection, but I'm worried. Boyfriend reluctant to have dog sleeping outside, although he's calm and no reason not to. Also does not believe there may be health risks. Despite my efforts, he does not keep to separate washing up cloths etc for the dog
I love dog very much but would be happier if I knew what the risks were. Flat is one large room with kitchen one end and living room/office at the other, with separate bathroom/WC. Door opens onto small garden, shared with three cats.

She is 6 years old. Vet said he would have assumed twice that! She has always carried her tail horizontally but now her back legs appear to be seizing up slightly. She can jump onto the sofa but has to manouvere herself to lie down She doesnt appear to be able to sit in the classic Egyptian cat pose and tips forward when going to toilet. Occasionally she opens mouth and it locks.Xrays show no spinal injury or deterioration.Comprehensive blood tests show a slightly raised sugar level(not high enough to be diabetes)a slightly raised globulin level(could indicate infection) liver and kidney function good. She hasnt got feline aids or leukemia. Blood pressure excellent. Anti inflammatory injection - no effect. Steroid injection - no effect (but did give her the sneezes for 3 days). Now on antibiotics but so far no effect. It isnt a blood clot. Next step is MRI scan but its all getting very expensive with no answers. She is happy in herself but gets very stressed going to vets. Any ideas?

last night we took my 10 week old puppy to the pet ER and what our vet told us was kennel cough was actually pneumonia. How fast will she get over this with anit-biotics and everything else they give her?
