My pug cracks me up! She is a hyper little thing. She's a black Pug. My question is why does she look like she needs dentures? Why does is her face pushed in like she hit a wall going 100 MPH? And WHY does her eyes bug out? Don't get offended by my questions I love my puggy girl it's just an age old question in this Redneck town I belong to. Here's a serious question too. How come Pugs (as small as they are) Are so Dam* Strong? Is anyone else's pug so strong tat they can wrestle the toy out of your hands easily? & Actually bite your toe and make it hurt thru your boots & pull so hard she can knock you on your @$$?

He didn't shed this bad before and it just started. Is this something to do with shedding puppy hair or cold weather or something else?

Ok, last Thursday, I went to a pet store that was about 30 minutes away from where I live. I feel in-love with these two beautiful little pups. A 10 week old Shih-Tzu (female) and a 7 week old Lhasa Apso (female). The Shih-Tzu was originally $750 but price was marked down to $350. Lhasa Apso was $899 - then marked down to $399. The Lhasa came with a free Kong (valued at $29.99) for some reason. I held them both and instantly fell in-love with them.
They both were vacc'ed, MC'ed, vet checked (by their vet), wormed, flea'd and came with a free $100 voucher to spend in the store and they could be both desexed there for free at 6 months old.
I asked a few different workers if the pups came from PUPPY MILLS because both dogs had a cold and kennel cough and the Shih-Tzu had dis-charge from eyes and nose. They both said NO.

I had never been to that pet store before so do not trust them completely.

Should I buy the dogs?
ALL advice is needed - don't want to make the wrong choice.

My 10 week old Spanador (Cocker Spaniel/ Labordor Mix) is in a chewing phase. I have given him chew toys but he won't chew on them. Instead he loves to bite at my fingers or toes. How can I stop this without popping him with something?

I am about to purchase a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is the runt of the litter. The breeder says he has a slight overbite (his lower jaw totally lined up with the upper jaw.) What are the cons of getting a runt? And is an overbite a big deal?

We have a neutered male golden retriever that penetrated a female golden this morning. Is this common behavior for a neutered dog??? I am now a bit concerned that perhaps the vet did something wrong when he was neutered over 6 months ago. We are going to have the female spayed next week, since we just adopted her.

Since I purchased my 2 puppies 2 years ago I have read dozens of complaints on line about the pet store and the breeder the acquire their dogs from. The breeder's name is Steve Kruse and everything I have read so far says that he runs a puppy mill in Iowa. If this is true and hundreds of people seem to know it, why hasn't his operation been shut down? What agency do you report puppy mill breeders to? The online complaints about Happiness is Pets and their primary breeder, Steve Kruse are numerous. Happiness is Pets is located in Naperville, Downers Grove, Orland Park, Arlington Heights, Warrenville and somewhere in Florida. All of these shops use Steve Kruse as their primary breeder. With this many shops selling thousands of dogs bred by Steve Kruse you would think that something would have been done to shut down all of these operations. What does it take to initiate a thorough investiagation of these pet shops and this breeder and put a stop to their businesses?

I have $120 to spend on the puppy, I already have a food dish and name tag. I am planning on getting a body harness and a retract leash thingy. I don't have to pay for the dog, dog food, or the vet bill (wee!), but overall what should I be buying? I am probably going to get a female, the one closest to the camera.

My dog has seriously fallen in love with a dental bone. He worked at it for like 2 hours straight last night, and has worked at it a bunch today as well. He bleeds though. My husband thinks it's like flossing- if you haven't done it in a while, your gums bleed because you needed to floss. Is it the same with dogs and bones? If we give him bones more frequently, will the bleeding stop?

He is normally healthy and when he got up this morning he coughed a little and gagged like, never has happened before. He then went out and drank water, ate and was fine. I was gone most of the day, my dad said he was coughing and gagging some throughout the day but not a ton, he fed him dinner at about 5pm and ate ok. He was gagging again and has thrown up 3-4 times since 6:00. He is throwing up food and mucas, whitish foam.drinking ok and acts ok, but then just starts gagging and throws up.current on shots and has not been around any poisons or chemicals.he has been grouchy for the last few months, like he growls at me two year old if he disturbs his nap or something.don't think it connected but not sure now. Any advice?

2 yr old lab - breeding dates 8/20 - 9/4. We've had her to the vet last week - as we've had 2 temp drops to 98 - but then a return to 99 - 100 temps. We had to change vets recently - so I don't have the confidence I had in our prior vet (lont time doc for our dogs) -- anyway - x ray on 11/2 showed 5 pups. She has had full teats since 10/28 (over 2 weeks). The vet told us to just 'let her go, she'll probably deliver by the weekend - she won't be too far past what her due date should've been" -- She still shows no signs of labor whatsoever - in fact, I'd say her vulva has become less soft then it was before. The only changes we have noticed is she has vomited about twice a day over the last 3 days and she takes her back leg and scratches at her head (like CRAZY) - OR - she chews at her legs. This is her first litter. I'm just wondering if my 'worry' is justified or is this just a side of whelping I've not been exposed to? Any help or thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
