This is a question for all the dog breeders out there of all breeds.

I read somewhere once that a reputable breeder can be characterized (amongst a long list of other things) as pricing their puppies the same. Not $300 for males and $400 for females. Or $900 for blue eyes, $500 for black and brown.

Everytime I look around at dog breeder websites who seem to have everything that makes them "reputable", such as background checks, vet checks/health guarantees, signed contracts, etc...I still can't think of why gender, coloring, and markings should be included in the price.

Isn't a puppy a puppy, despite all their physical appearance? People say it's for the betterment of the breed and so on, but it sounds to me like getting these "rare" traits just equals a gold mine for a breeder who says they make no profit.

Who's to say a"high quality, rare color" female is any better than the runt in the corner who is almost a year old already about to be a freebie to whoever will take him?

i had to make the decision to put my five and a half year dog down. took her to the vets the week before and they told me she had really dysplacia and arthritis in wich they put her on tablets. soon after she would start screaming and go all rigid so i phoned the vets and they said she would get worse before she got better and then again she had a bad turn when i got no sleep the next night because she was screaming and i was trying to console her the next morning i took her straight to the vet and they said there is nothing wrong with her.....she had another bad turn on the fri and i had the physio come see her on the sat and she got a bit better but then mon this week she couldnt get up wouldnt dink anything and was just not with it. i called the vet yesterday and told them i want them to come out and see her i cant just leave her like that...they came out and said they r sorry they didnt realise how bad she is and she should be put down cos they think she has a brain tumour

She's not that small and she looks quite well kept, not starved, so I'm not sure whether she has an owner or not. I gave her food and she wolfed it down, but she doesn't look thin.
She's been around the house for about a week now, but sometimes she disappears for a day or two, so I can't figure out whether she is a stray or just an outside cat who likes to wander.
Should I take her in? I don't want to steal a cat from somebody if she is already owned. Besides, I already have a 2 year old neutered male cat.

In a tank I used to have a bunch of tiny living organisms popped up out of nowhere. One of them looked like strands of dust, the other looked like dots, and the last looked like powder. Apparently they cleaned the tank. What are they?

I forget the brand but it had a little toddler calling "come on, Casey!" & a fat little Irish Setter puppy tumbling after her. Fast forward years later & the little girl is grown up now. She calls out "come on, Casey!" & we see an old Irish Setter with a white muzzle & cloudy eyes slowly making his way over to her. I bawled every time I saw it. Does anyone remember this TV commercial?

Got an egg on the side of my car parking on the street but just didn't think I have rogue neighbors. Yes, an egg shell was on the street next to the mess but I forgot to see if it has a stamp which could indicate it was bought at the store. It did look like it was thrown from the side instead of vertically dropped (in the case of a bird).

I have a mother rat terrier that just had a litter of pups. The pups are only 4 days old and the mother is growling at them, when they try to nurse. I do have puppy formula on hand and a heating pad....I just hate to take the mother away if I don't need to. I don't know what to do. I don't know if she will hurt the babies or not....it is not a playful growl. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

ok, so now i understand why my cat was behaving wierd. he was a bit hyper too. he's calmed down now.
but has anyone hear heard of a cat that is not affect by catnip? the older cat i was talking about earlier never seemed interested in cat nip anyway and we've had her for a little over a year.
i tried to get her to smell the massage gel that smells strong like mint. she would sniff it, suspiciously, but isn't interested. the ingredients in the gel is menthol 2.6mg/ml (active ingredient).

she's kind of a strange kitty anyway. mostly main coon and a little bit black tabby.

just curious

I'm thinking I want to get my first dog. I'm looking for something smaller and I found this breed that was "adopted" and looking to find him a permanent home. How energetic do you think he would be? I'm ready for the work but will he lie down and settle down if I try to get him? I know the work that goes into a dog I'm just curious about the breed.

we bought our toy poodle when he was around 5-6 months old. Now he's around 7-8 months old and he has no visible testicles. I noticed when we bought him that he had a scar southwest of his dick. Is it possible that his testicles were removed already and the store owner just didn't tell us, or was this just a coincidence? Also, are there success stories out there - i know it's too late for his testicles to drop now, but i also heard it was possible for it to drop later. he only has around 4 months till he's a year old and I'm seriously hoping it drops before then. Thanks in advance for your answers!

My aunt was being stupid and she put a pill on the ground that was meant for the 80 pound Pitbull and not my 10 pound Papillion. The pill was 300 mg aspin that is meant to help with the joints of the pitbull. We called the vets and they said to give him something to make him puke it up. I am scared and i don't know what to do! Some one help! Nothing is open because its 12:07 am! Please help me!

For some odd reason, my siamese cat always licks my dad's face. I'm not sure if its like the stubble on his face or what but its really weird. Also, could he be marking him with his "cat scent"? Does my cat think my dad is its mom? lol really weird! Any ideas why this is?? Thanks!
