I recently bred my English Bull Terrier and we are keeping two of the pups they are eight weeks today, they have flat faces to a certain extent but have a little bit of a snout, I thought this would dissapear as they got older but I met a guy in the vet who breeds English Bulls and he said they look like staffy crosses, problem is I have a male staffy and Im starting to wonder if he caught her rather than the stud dog. I personally don't think they look like staffys, should there faces be flat already? Or will they get flat as they get older?

I recently adopted a small lab mix from a local rescue organization. He seems well adjusted and is impeccably housetrained. He does however have a touch of separation anxiety, which is causing an unexpected problem. My current schedule is that I wake up at 5:30, have a cup of coffee and take the dog for 45 minute walk. We then watch the morning news until about 7:15 when I get ready for work. I typically leave about 7:45-8:00. He will whine and bark a little, at the door when I leave but settles down quickly and has been getting better about it steadily (he didn't even bark this morning). Before I got him I typically would go home for lunch, which I thought he would find comforting, but this has had the opposite effect. After I go back to work he becomes much more agitated and engages in destructive chewing, on things he knows are off limits. I tried not going home for lunch yesterday, and when I got back, no problems. The problem is I would like to be able to eat lunch at home. Help.

He's a great dog, but freaks out when we leave him alone...like to go to work or whatever. I thought maybe getting another dog would help...to keep him company and be a playmate. What do you think? Thanks.

I have a 6 week old Rottweiler Akita Cross, I just want to know at what point to start training and where to start. What is the best resource? Is it all in a book or can I access it online. He seems very playful and goes for my shoes whenever i'm out in the yard. I have tried to distract him but it doesn't always work. I a trying to get him to come when I say 'Come here boy' but its intermittant. Another major surprise to me was that he doesn't eat any of the treats that I buy for him, hence I have nothing to bargain with. He's even started nipping at his age! Boy those teeth! Please advise me. Also are there any free info packs that I can get from anywhere. Advise much appreciated... Thanx

All opinions and facts appreciated. I can't decide if I should be noble and get a mutt or should I get a pure breed that is more likely to be healthy. Help me decide which is the smarter, realistic and "better" choice. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I ahve a 18 week old Daschound that i cannot seem to house break!! I take him outside every hour and he will pee and poop, but when I bring him in the house, sometimes he poops again on the carpeting. I adopted him at 16 weeks from a breeder who allowed the dogs to just go to the bathroom in the house, they were never taken out to try to be housebroken. I am at my wits end with this dog!! I am hoping some one out there can gie me an idea on what to do! I really love my dog. Please help! TIA! Dawn

It has been 62 days since she last mated, and she has been 'moping' around lately. She has been trying to nest in all the furniture, but has finally picked a spot on top of some blankets. Her nipples are swollen, but she doesn't look pregnant otherwise. BUT, this morning, her stomach was gurling and making all of these strange noises. Could this be a false pregnancy? Do dogs usually have noise coming from their stomachs during the 62 day or so?

I have a less than fortunate situation of staying with my mother in law until our new house is ready.We have 2 dogs(which she hates) and she does not allow them to come in the house,does not permit bathing them(claims that they are dirty beasts so no point bathing them),does not allow premium dog food,only leftover scarps allowed(does not want to waste money on dirty beasts),does not tolerate anyone cuddling them.She even said that if she has a choice,she will cook them up for dinner!! Is she crazy?? What should i do to make her like them more?

they sleep in the laundry room at night (5 months old), and I leave the door permanently open, if like today its dead windy i didn't and came out of the room only to find that they couldn't get out so they obviously peed on the floor, not their fault! they have instant access to outside all the time, am i making a big mistake, in so much that they are not used to pee time as such? and any training methods on them telling me they want to go out?

getting puppy in three weeks
and I am going to crate train
Some people have told me that it is helpful to also use puppy pads for the path to the door and then put a puppy pad outside so they get to know they are suppose to go outside
To me-this would deter from crate training
Any advice would be helpful-thanks

My 13 week Golden Retriever wakes us up 3-6 times a night to go poop. The stool is runny and has mucus. The vet did not seemed concerned and I know that she is reputable. I am feeding the dog the recommended amount of food(Nutro) and he doesn't quite finish it. Time to switch food? Suggestions?
