We recently adopted a 13 week old French Mastiff and she is painfully skittish around my husband and I. I dont think she has had a great deal of human interaction in her first 3 months. The only one she seems to feel comfortable with is my 15 month old son. (Im sure because when my son crawls they are the same size) Her shyness is making it quite difficult to housebreak or train her because she runs away when I go to either praise her or take her outside after an accident. We already love her and wish we knew what method is best for gaining her trust. HELP!

All my Australian Shepard's life she's been eating her own poop. She's about 5 now and I was wondering if it is bad for her. I don't mind because that means I don't have to go pooper scooping hardly ever.

I have a six year old german shepard / husky mix. She has always been in good health. I know many dogs have callous type spots on thier knees and elbows. But lately her little black callous has grown much bigger on her right elbow. It has some redness to it, is puffy, almost spongy to the touch and a little crusty. It does not seem to hurt or bother her at all but I am a little worried about it. Any insight as to what it could be?

I have two cats. One 7 one 5 years old. The 7yo has started peeing in other places then her litter box. The day before yesterday on a piece of cardboard on the ground. Today it was in an empty laundry basket on the same spot as the cardboard was. A few days ago it was on the other side of the room on a workout mat. Most of these areas are in the same room as her litter box. Any suggestions?

I usually use Frontline spot on cat to de-flea my cat during the summer months, but now my vet is also offering Stronghold spot on fea treatment (contains selamectin) which is a bit cheaper, has anyone else used Stronghold ?, and is it any good ?,or should I just stick to using Frontline.

I really want to tame my three parakeets but I researched and it said that it's better to clip their because then they can't really fly well. But I don't know how. I don't want to go to the vet because my parents don't want me to go to an avian vet for them. A website would also be great. Tell me the materials that I need when clipping my parkeets wings and how to handle them when I'm clipping their wing feather. PLS help.

I have just been engaged in a debate over the word 'adoption' vs 'selling' dogs. I was saying that when most people 'sell' dogs it's for profit and 'adoption' is basically breaking even. I was trying to argue that responsible breeders don't 'sell' the non-show dogs in a litter to 'make a quick buck' but to try to break even for the money spend on the parent dogs, medical, shots, etc.

They were arguing that shelters and rescues are just 'selling' dogs too and trying to make a profit- that they are businesses and I was saying they are non-profit organizations. The adoption fees are just trying to cover their costs.

How do the responsible breeders feel about this? Backyard breeders breed to maximize profit. I understand that. Do you breed for profit?Am I a chump for buying into the 'better the breed' mentality? Are shelters out to make a buck?

Anyone else's opinions?

Okay so i wanted a yorkie for the longest time
and this lady ( i suppose its a lady she never really gave me her number but both me and my mom talked to her over email) has 2 of them, that she is giving away FOR FREE.
im kinda sketchy about this, because usually these dogs run between 1000- almost 3000 dollars.
she says its because they have been apart of her, and she would feel guilty asking for money.
i have a yorkie already, and i really wanted two more to add to my family.
we already bought our airfares to the area she lives at.
i do not want to get a "sick" dog.
even though she said they are completley healthy,
and they are 4 months old.
What do you think about this, am i getting scammed?

My roommate and I are arguing about how animals reproduce. He seems to think they don't give birth out of their vaginas, instead they give birth out of their *** or some bull like that. Pretty much he is an idiot...
