No lectures on dog breeding please. All the pros and cons have been closely examined. Her puppies are pretty much spoken for by aquaintances and I realize that there are many unwanted dogs at the shelter. Anyways, I was told that 2 is a good age. Would 1 year be too young, what are the risks associated with a young pregnancy? Thanks.

I have had a dog before, we got as an adult when i was younger and she was a Alsatian. I am looking either to rehome a dog or get a young puppy. Could anybody please give me any advice on what puppies are the easiest to rear without very much experience. Obviously a rehoming centre would know more about the dogs they have which would be more suitable so any info on puppies would be helpful. Thank you.

My new beagle that I rescued from the shelter is really friendly. He follows me everywhere, so I find it difficult to train him to stay. But if he finds something interesting to smell, he won't respond to me. I've found that whistling or snapping sometimes works, but I need more help. Thanks!

I live in a very dog friendly community and almost all of my neighbors have dogs. Well, I let my dog sleep out in her dog house when her cycle comes. I do this to prevent her leaking on my carpet. I learned from the past that a stud will do just about anything to get to a ***** in heat, so I installed 6 foot fencing around my backyard. Two days ago When I returned home from work I found my dog "tied" to my neighbor's 10 year old dog.....AGAIN. The dog dug under the fencing to get to her. This is his third time impregnanting my dog. First she went to him, so I installed 4 foot fencing. Then he hopped the fence and got her, and that's when I got the 6 foot fencing. plan to put her on birth control after this, but what can I do to make this as safe as possible for her? I would be distraught if something happened to her.

PS-The stud's owner proposed we get our dogs hitched. I agreed. Theres no sense in getting in the way of what appears to be true love. Afterall they do have 24 kids.

Just adopted a beautiful 1 year old golden. She had been found half dead by the side of the road, skin and bones with half a tail. She was timid at first, but has become very loving. My problem is housetraining. She seems to be good with not going poop in the house. Peeing is different matter. She just sniffs around outside. She gets positive reinforcement when she goes potty outside. But daily (even though she gets to go out no less than 10 times a day) she pees on the rug. Its like having a horse pee on the carpet! Have tried a bunch of treats... but she doesn't really get too excited about them. She can be in her cage all night. I take her out in the morning for about 20 minutes...no pee. I bring her inside and she starts to play wrestle and then starts hosing all over the place! Then ends up having to sit in her cage for 20-30 minutes and I take her outside immediately to go and still nothing.

Shih tzu or toy poodle? I've heard so many people say that shih tzu is a better choice for a beginner but I've read that tzu can be very stubborn and are not easy to housebreak. I've heard so many people say that toy poodles are also good for beginners and I've read that they are easy to train but are yappy. Is a toy poodle a dominant kind of dog coz I'm really not the dominant type and I don't want my dog ordering me or something like that.

I just need advice. My pitbull is about 3 years old. When he was younger, he was a pretty obnoxious puppy. My husband disciplined him how a pitbull should be disciplined. Last night, my husband was trying to get him to go outside and the dog tried to bite him. He snarled and snapped and jumped at him. My husband then got the dog's harness and asked him to go for a walk, which snapped him out of it. Any suggestions on what we should do with him?

I'm training my 6 month old Rottweiler. I reward him with one of his balls or toys.
If he's working really hard I'll give him treats to keep him involved.
Does anyone know of a good dog treat that is 1) small 2) nutritious 3) minimal calories.
I know he's young and will work off a lot of calories in a day; I just want to keep him lean and healthy and would rather not give him biscuit after biscuit.

We used to have this long conversations through all these years. I just can´t explain why this happened. Do you think the fact I change his dog´s food from Purina to Pedigree has something to do about it?

Someone told us that daschunds don't need walking because they're legs are too small or it has pressure on their backs. Is this true?

I can give my 8 week old puppy formula? He likes to take my son's bottles and drink the milk, but I don't allow him to do this because it's human formula. I do however have some puppy formula & I was wondering if I could give him this? It seems like he isnt weened off of his mother yet, even though he's away from her now & eat's regular puppy food. I wouldn't give him much, maybe a bottle or two a week, just enough to wean him compleatly off of it.

I sold my pugh to someone who dearly wanted him because she recently had to put hers to sleep of old age. She took him home, he played with the kids, and she put him in his pin for sleep.
When she awoke, he was dead? He was "a" little over weight but
healthy with vet records. I can't understand what happened.

Has anyone got husky's as pets either from pups or as adults? As I would really like to get one but have been hearing they are very hard to train and not affectionate due to them being decendants of wolves? And is it best to get one froma pup or as an older dog? Any help would be great.
