Dogs - June 2006

Willow is a 6 month old Golden Retriever. She finished all her needles at 20 weeks of age. She gets Sentinel (for worms and fleas) every month. My bf thought maybe ringworm. Could it be that and if so what would cause it? She's been going to the dog park and clicker training.

Last night I went to the bathroom and realized my 6 month old golden retriever was sleeping in the hall instead of in my bedroom. I went to rouse her and she didn't respond. I thought she was dead. I carried her into the bedroom and put her on her pillow and she responded slightly.

Why is it so terrible not to S/N your dogs? There are many health benefits to leaving them natural as well as altered.

If I confine my dogs and am responsible, why should I have to S/N? Is it not better to go after the people who are the problem? The problem is the ones who let their animals make their own breeding decisions out on the street and contibute to the animal population problem with yet another litter of whatever Xs. The problem is the ones who let their animals roam to possibly attack, breed, or be an annoyance. The problem is the ones who dump their dog at the shelter and run out to get another because they are either to stupid or lazy to handle their dog.

Why would anyone think the irresponsible people or the thugs will be rushing in to comply with MS/N laws? The irresponsible don't care and thugs aren't concerned if they are within the law.

Leave my dogs alone and ENFORCE leash laws with court appearances and big fines. That will solve the problems.

I have worked at two Veterinary hospitals and am fairly knowledgeable about breeds of dogs. I want more insight though, from people who have owned or currently own the breeds I listed above. Can you tell me some good and bad traits about your pet or possibly list some websites that could be of use? Thank you.

To me a puppy mill is a 'breeder' that abuses or leaves their stock in filth. Most Commercial breeders do not fall into this catagory and take good care of their breeding stock.

If there were no commercial or backyard breeders, where ever would the pet buying public get their purebred puppies? Show breeders cannot possibly supply the demand for PB puppies. If laws make breeding extremely hard, they will get their puppies somewhere. One has only to look at the terrible anti-breeder laws in California to see. Make breeding hard and then wonder why they are dealing with sickly Mexican puppies being smuggled in.
Better a backyard or commercial breeder than a very questionable source in a country where abuse laws are not enforced, if they exist at all.

And no, not everyone wants a crossbreed from a shelter, and most are crosses. Shelter dogs are mostly from owner retention problems, and people letting their dogs roam and breed indiscriminately, not purebred breeders.

I am putting this under pets because this is where I answer the biggest majority of my questions.
I sometimes go back and edit a comment I have made on an answer.
I was wondering if the edited portion is sent as a email to the person that asked the question, letting them know?
I just wanted to make sure if I have to make a correction on an answer, the person will get the updated version.
