Dogs - July 2006

I own 3 dogs and a cat. the only male dog that i have is very agressive towards a dog that i want.

This dog is a dog that we found when we moved into our new house last yr. we kept it through hurricane katrina found its owners and retured it. its owners didn't take care of it then had to move and couldn't take him. They gave it to the people that they live with in a small trailer park just 4 days ago. Since then our next door neighboor is the one that has been feeding him because the people at the trailer park wouldn't take care of him. He broke his chain and came to our house where he knows he will get food and attention.. We want to keep him but my male dog wants nothing but to attack him.... I have tred some basic techniques but they haven't worked..... He will kill this dog if he gets the chance....


Please help me!

I have a german shepherd puppy who since she was 3 months old her back legs would sometime go to the side when she would run. She is now 5 months old and still does the same thing except but not as much. she doesn't have any signs of pain, and our vet quickly checked her and said she is fine. So I am just wondering if I have anything to worry about hip dysplasia?

My puppy is on Frontline Plus, and does not seem to be bothered by fleas. We have wood floors in most of the house where he plays, but do not use harsh cleaners. I first noticed a problem when he would drag himself across the ground with his front paws. He does this in the grass, and also on the bedroom carpet. He scratches fairly often, but seems to tolerate it well. I saw a similar post suggest a salve of vaseline douche powder. Any other suggestions? My fiance is trying to book a vet appointment, but I would welcome any advice that might get the poor guy some relief. Thanks.

She has no problem chasing after the frisbee when I throw it, but when I throw it to her she keeps waiting for it to land before picking it up.

This would be even better if I could get her to jump-catch a frisbee, but that's not as important. I've just been wondering, is this simply a coordination thing, where some dogs can do it and some dogs can't, or do I have to train her a certain way?

As part of my housesitting stint, I'm to walk the two dogs. I really don't mind at all. The other day I was walking along and I noticed this teen with his dog. The dog was taking a crap. Then they just walked on by.

This irrititated me. Here I had some bags in my pocket for when one of mine did the deed. Ready to pick it up.

I also had a water bottle and two cups for the dogs to stop and get some water along the way. Nothing else really.

What do you take with you when you go for a walk with your dogs? Do you take treats? Water? Something to clean up their poop?

If a purebred female has puppies with a mixed breed and then later has puppies with another purebred, is there a chance she won't have purebred puppies?

I'd have to say mine is a Samoyed because of their gorgeous white coat and "smile".

and I don't have a fenced in yard. She can't go offleash, and it would cost thousands to fence in my huge yard. She needs a large area to excersize in as she is a terrier, and nothing works. a chain can't be long enough, and she'll get tangled in it. She runs sixty MPH (I had heer clocked when she was young) and I am afraid she would run away. She has already escaped three times and has run five miles away. Luckily people have always chased her and one time it was like a parade, my neighbors and some strangers got out of their cars and followed her. I've tried obedience classes and everything. What should I do?

I have a white bull terrier. His hair is short and coarse and dry. When I use his nickel plated pinch collar it gives him a dingy ring around the neck. This also happens when I use nylon collars but not as fast. He usually get a bath every ten days, any suggestions to keep him white longer after his bath?
