I was curious.. if I have a child and one day decide to pimp it out due to their amazing bloodline (joking) and then decide to pimp out those grandkids, its illegal... But if I breed my dog and then breed its puppies and so on... its legal. HOW IS THIS RIGHT!?!?!?

Or is the hearing just impaired? It's so sad to see dogs with ears cut or with tails docked. :(

The first time I caught my pup with a rock in his mouth, i freaked and took it away. Ever since then I've been scared he has been eating rocks. My trainer, however, said that dogs like the feel of rocks in their mouths, and we even had my pup x-rayed and there were no rocks in him. Well since then, my two babies are always bringing in rocks from outside and chewing them, and my first instinct is to take them away because if they swallow them, they will not pass and will need surgery, but my trainer says they are just playing and if you move to take them away, they may swallow them out of reaction or if they know you will take it away. Does anyone have suggestions? We are working on clearing out all the rocks in our back yard, but it is a process (as it was fully landscaped when we bought it.. and you know how puppies are). I watch them very closely but if they like to play with the rocks, I want to let them.... HELP!!! Thanks

My beagle was playing in the surf at the ocean yesterday and he seems to have hurt his tail. He is quiet today and yelps if his tail is touched. He is favoring it and does not wag it as usual. There is no broken skin and i cant feel anything odd on his tail but dont know what to do to help him feel better. Is this something that I need to take him to the vet about? What if anything can i do now to help him feel better?

I have no idea what my dog is, we got her from a dog shelter. We saved her life. But she chews on everything..she has chewed on my shoes, my moms shoes, wires, the remote, and so much more. She does it when we are sleeping or when we arent home. She knows that its bad cause when you go to show her what she did she hangs her head so she knows she is in trouble. How can i break her of this. My mom yells at me for what she does. The other day she pulled one of my moms plants out of the ground and tore it up. That plant could have killed her, its poision to her. She is a very hyper dog and she doesn't learn anything easy. We've had her for like 5 months and she still chews..oh and top it off she still has accidents. But she knows it wrong..i need help or some advice or my mom is gonna make me get rid of her or i'll get rid of her cause my mom wants to beat the crap out of her. We just had a huge fight because the dog, reese cup, just ate the 6th pair of shoes of my moms. Help please!!

My dog is already a little over weight (on a diet) but he's been itchy and licking his back legs for over a year. He licks them until there's open sores! He's been on and off Tamiril (spelling?) which I guess has a steroid in it and is making his weight problem worse. When he's on it the stuff works for his allergy prob. I took him off the Tamiril because of his weight issue and now he's licking his legs again!!! I don't know what to do. Doctor says just use Claritin 2 times daily and Benedryl 3 times daily!!! I don't want to drug out my dog!!! :-( What can I do???? Somebody help me!!!!

Where i live were not aloud fences and i want my dog to go on walks with me. I usually just let him in the yard without a leash but i want him to learn to go on walks. HELP

For those of you who have, PLEASE post links so those who have no clue what they are and what they do can learn some very important things.
PLEASE!
Also please tell some of the horror that is found in them, and where all these cute little pet store puppies come from!
Tell the differences between them all, what they do, and then what a Reputable Breeder is, and why it's so important to deal with one.
NO I DON'T BREED, "I use to do so" but I don't breed now, and have not for a while. It's just it's so danged important to get the word out!

For everyone who sells or buys a dog/puppy. Do you know if your State has a Puppy Lemon Law? If so, do you know what the guidelines are for it?
Research Puppy Lemon Law for YOUR STATE and see what you find, "some States do not have them".
Know your responsibilities as a seller and your rights as a buyer.

I have felt this way ever since we had our dog put to sleep.

You are alone. Even though you have a family that loves you, even though you have a significant other, even though you have a friend or two .... you are still alone and as each day passes you look back on it as a big blur and nothing makes any sense. Somethings that used to make you happy don't anymore, and you feel like if you tell somebody they are going to pity you and judge you.

She claims that the puppy died of Parvo. But the strain she says he had takes 14 days to show up. She had him for 20 days, then claims she took it to the vet because he was sick. She also said it had severe case of worms. Now she wants to keep the puppy, get a full refund AND pay 1/2 her vet bill!
Am I liable? I have the gaurantee in writing. Every other person who took a pup from that litter has called to tell me how perfect & Healthy their pup is. One family even said their vet was shocked that a pup under 4 months had NO worms. If no other pup or Mom has parvo and I have 5 other dogs that also don't have parvo, could that one have gotten it before leaving me? Could 1 pup have "a severe case of worms" but no others? She also said it was flea infested, no others were. So, do I owe her anything?
I'm calling her vet tomorrow & mine who examined mom & pups at 2 days old.

My 2 year old Yorkie Terrier HATES vacuum cleaners. A couple of days ago I was vacuuming and noticed that Tom, my Yorkie, chipped his front tooth. The tooth is chipped almost right down to the gum. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I don't want my dog to be in any kind of pain. Should I take him to the vet? Even if it doesn't seem to bother him? And what will happen if they take the tooth out?

What are good ways to punish a dog without being violent/verbally abusing?

My dog is not behaving lately, and first couple of times I scolded at him until I read from a book telling me to take away the dog’s freedom.

I started doing what the book says by locking him up in a cage instead of letting him freely wonder around the apartment. At first, he cried to be led out but I ignored it. *I hope it is working.

I am wondering what are the ways to let the dog know that he is under punishment.

My 7 month old golden retriever goes absolutely snakey when she sees me pick up the brush. She spins circles and bites at the brush and flops all around. I think she likes it but it makes it hard to brush her.

My dog has a huge hot spot that isn't healing because he keeps licking/biting at it. I've never used an Elizabethan Collar (E-collar). Would he be able to sleep/nap while wearing it?? Is it a total pain in the butt??

We want to get a new puppy but are worried about ruining the carpet and furniture. Neither of us have ever potty trained a dog.
