ok my barand new pit puppy (she's about 8 weeks) just won't go potty outside. I can keep her out there all night and she'll hold it till she comes in. I don't know what to do... I could handle it if she went in the same spot but it's all over the house. Can anyone help me to get her to go outside??? I've even been taking her out on a schedule. HELP!!!!

What do you have to look for in a puppy? I mean health etc. I looked at a puppies today, they all had protuding stomachs, big fleas and they shook like leaves. Is this something you have to avoid? At how many weeks can you de-flea a dog? I was shocked to see that the mother dog and another dog were tied up in the garden "because they chase chicken", this was a cold winter day. Is this cruel?

Do they require a lot of attention and are they very susceptible to illness? Would you recommend me getting one?

I have long had an interest in becoming a handler. I am having a difficult time finding out how to start or get a leg in the door to becoming one. Any help from breeders or handlers to becoming one would be useful and appreciated. Particularly in the state of Michigan.

As I read all the questions and answers for dog, cats, birds, etc. I'm curious as to how people know what's right. I mean other then trial and error with your pet.

So many people are giving opposite advice. Veterinarians are contridicting each other. Breeders and trainers all have their own theories about what is right and wrong.

The dog food question is what made me really ponder this. Everyone says what they think is best, and most opinions differ. Isn't it just individual to the animal? I know some foods are proven to be better then others, but even as you research the internet to find what the essential nutrients are for a particular animal, you never find the same answer. Regardless of the source.

So who's to say that even your most trusted source, your vet, is right?

I have done tons of research on this over the years & have considered breeding, but at this time I am still educating myself. Some day, I would like to breed, when I can devote the proper time to do so. Most people say that if your dog isn't "conformation show quality" that you should not breed. Yet some organizations feel "showing" BC's & having that be a requirement to improve the breed will only cause the deterioration of what this breed is all about--being a working dog. Do you think it acceptable to breed with the standards of Agility & Obedience competition & titles achieved (sports this breed excels in), or should show quality be a must anyway? Maybe a little of both?

I am prepared to do all that will be necessary, to produce a desirable litter including properly titled sire/dam & being an available resource of support to those who take pups from litters produced, but I wonder how other BC breeders feel about the conformation ring? Is it needed?

We recently had it put on a ballot to put into effect the required registration of our (my county's) dogs. Though it was voted against, I, and many others, feel it is still very much needed. There are people being bitten and attacked. Nothing can be done to take the dogs off the streets b/c there are no leash laws or anything. So, what are some other steps that we can take? Are there organizations out there that can help us? What do we do next?

I have just read a question about a 'crazy' 6 month old labrador, the person asking is saying her dog is crazy and afraid it will attack the baby - I won't mention the name to save from embarrassment. Well, HELLO! Dogs are a full -time commitment, why have one if you are too busy/broke/clueless to keep and train him properly? They are a responsibility, and this 'crazy' young healthy will be another sad statistic at the vets or homeless pound, because the clueless dolly of an owner simply did not think about the commitment of dog ownership.

Champion Bloodlines? If a dog has champions like 5 generations back, but nothing closer than that, is it still considered champion bloodlines?
