Dogs - October 2006

As I posted in a previous post, I just got an unexpected litter of puppies from my sons female dog. This dog was always a little irritable, but only towards strangers, never towards any of us. When I found the puppies, they were laying in the middle of the backyard, so I scooped them up and put them in a box with a blanket, until I could move the moma into a kennel. Once I got her settled in, I put the puppies back with her and I left her alone for an hour or 2, then I went to take her a bowl of Puppy Chow and she was growling at me. I told my husband to go see if she did the same to him, and she did. She hasn't been aggresive towards us before, only strangers. I have a female Siberian Husky who had a litter in the spring and she was not at all aggresive towards me, when she had her puppies. Why is this dog acting so differently?

Is there anything I can put there other than carpet to help stop her from falling? She is a cockapoo and is blind in one eye, so it could be the depth perception or all of the fur. She was shaved last week and is still falling down, so I don't think it's the fur. Or she could just be an idiot. She's not the smartest dog in the world but I still love her. I don't want her to get hurt, but my mother doesn't want carpet on the stairs and we can't isolate her on the first floor either. Any ideas?

I got my 6mnth old puppy home, he came from a kennel. Hes very
shy, I have had him for a week now. He is coming around but still
runs from me when I go to pet him or pick him up. He is not mean
or aggressive, and never trys to bite. Once I get him, he acts fine.
He makes me feel bad because he acts like he thinks I'm going to
hurt him which I would never do. What can I do to make him feel
safer? Do you think its because he was mistreated or just because
of being alone at the kennel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Chetco looks like your an expert can you help me?

I have a 6-months old Korean Jindo. She's adorable, but just refuses to eat commercial dog foods. I tried all different brands, but she's only interested for maybe two days. I have to mix in can or human food, and she still picks it out and leaves the dry food behind. She is too skinny! Help!

Regret as to adopting him out. I grew such a strong bond that now I'm simply dying without him. What should I do? Is it bad for me to want him back after he already is adopted? He was a MInPin/ Jack Russel ;red/ black dog named Charlie.

We came home today and found a litter of newborn puppies in our back yard. My sons female dog had them today. He is the one who feeds and waters her every day, so I never knew she was pregnant, especially since she has a very long, thick coat and didn't look pregnant. I never got her fixed (my mistake I know) and I was nieve to think that a stray couldn't get in our backyard, but one apparently did. Now I have 5 newborn puppies that I have to find homes for. What is the best way to go about this? Newspaper ad, signs around town, or what?

I have 2 Maltese. Baby (my boyfriend's female Maltese) who is 1.5 yrs old moved in with me when my boyfriend moved in 6 mos. ago. About 1 mo after moving in, I got a male Maltese, Dartagnan for Baby as a companion. At the breeder's, Dartagnan was very shy & was constantly hiding under the couch when his brother & sister would want to play & chase each other. He was a scared little thing, constantly hiding in corners... so I decided to take him. Dartagnan who is now 6 mos. is constantly biting Baby or chasing her around. I can't really tell when they are playing or not. I don't hear squeals so I can't tell but it looks pretty aggressive to me. They sometimes stand on their hind legs & look like they at each other's throats... When I try to pet one, the other comes & bites the other dog or pulls my hand. Dartagnan give dirty type of glares when I call Baby to come. He stands in front of me & blocks her from coming to me. And then he comes instead of her. How do I stop this?

A dog I got from the pound is very friendly to our family and neighbors, but as soon as some blacks come near, our dog barks viciously. I am not complaining as this is an unexpected bonus, but our mailman is one of the few minorities around that isn't on crack or trying to rob anyone. Any way I can help my dog to be more friendly towards him? Its pretty bad. I put the TV on BET and the bog barks at the blacks on the screen jumping around talking about rap.

I am unsure if she getting her winter coat or if it's something that I should be alarmed about. Her coating seems to have ripples and she just looks puffy all over. She is acting normal though.

My dog has threw up 18 times in less than 35 minutes. The first 2 times had food in it. The other times is just yellow sticky stuff. He's also slobbering more than usual. What's wrong? What should I do? I gave him water and he just threw it up.

Do any of you line breed when you breed or do you cross out each time? I was wondering because I have heard good and bad about both, and with healthy lines it is better to line breed to an extent, How close in pedigrees do you get though without causing problems? I am talking about breeders who do health testing and such for the betterment of the breed..
