Dogs - November 2006

I recently got a new dog, a black lab *****, 4 years old. She is so easy to train outdoors and learns amazingly quickly but if I use a raised voice towards her to disipline her if she jumps up or does something wrong, she will cower and pee on the floor. I simply wipe it up and say nothing. Our previous lab didn't do this and I do not know the best way to stop this behavior. She is a very clingy dog and at night we keep her in the kitchen and she wines quietly thus disrupting our sleep, is this because it is new surroundings for her or is there something that can be done to stop it....could some of you kind people out there offer me some advice.

Thanks in advance

Andy

I've been searching around for purebred Labs for some time now and have found a good breeder with pups ready soon. They are $900 (AUD), parents have clear hips/elbows, heart certificate, vaccinated, wormed, vet checked, champion bloodlines etc.
Is this a fair price to pay? Is that the going price for a pure Lab (pet quality)?

Our 13 month old female staffie seems obsessive about chasing her tail, even after a long walk, and isn't on her own for any long period of time. She goes round and round and usually manages to catch her tail. Is this normal?

I have 4 dogs. A female Lhasa Apso called Kim (4 years old), female Greyhound called June (1.8 yrs old), a male Bulldog called Tauras (6 years old) and a male Rottweiler called Harold (7 months old). I want to breed all of my dogs together because my friend once bred her Great Dane x German Shepherd and said it was fun so I want to try it too.
All my dogs are pure breed and do not have a disease. I want to breed the Greyhound with Rottweiler and Lhasa Apso with Bulldog.
I do not know anything about breeding and don't know what to do so can you tell me please?
Are they good breeding ages?
How much do I sell the pups for?
How do I create a new AKC recognised breed?
Should I breed?
Why? Why not?

My Lhasa Apso (Kim) has had a litter of 3 pups when she was 1.4 years old so she won't have any problems at all.

All my dogs have great temperaments and are good family dogs. I have never had any complaints about them barking ect.

Thanks for any feedback!!
From Elisabeth.

We found my little bandit! He was wearing a collar but no tags! He looks like a pure bred, even my vet says he looks pure bred! So my question is how can i find out? Are there blood tests, since we found him and didn't adopt him how can i be sure?!

My puppy jumped on the table and ate half of a chocolate cake. I'm freakin out cuz I love her more than anything and I don't want anything bad to happen. Do all kinds of dogs die from chocolate or just certain ones? Is it even an effect at all? Because it's a cake, is it not as bad as solid chocolate? Is there anything I can do to prevent it right now?

Professional breeders, trainers, vets, or just regular dog owners what do you believe to be the best quality dog food, dry and canned? The best dog food that provides everything a large (50+lbs) dog needs and not a lot of fillers?

I heard that Petsmart will bath and clip my dog for a reasonable price. Have you had your dog groomed there? If so, did they do a good job? How long did it take?

I have a 1 year boxer who has a swollen tail. Their doesn't seem to have any kinks in it but she won't let anybody touch her tail. The tail doesn't seem to be causing her serious pain but she is only wagging the tip of her tail and not the whole tail. What should I do?

I just came home and found that the 3 dogs I'm sitting for ate 2 entire pumpkin pies, and if that's not bad enough...they've eaten the majority of the pie tins and foil that was covering them. I don't know whether to scream at them or take them to the vet... If anyone has any info PLEASE HELP!

She should deliver around December 10th, she is an American Eskimo, about 14 pounds (not pregnant). Her belly is getting round and very firm, and her nipples are getting larger, but I cant feel any puppies. Should i be able to feel puppies? Someone told me I would feel little golf ball shapes, and those were the puppies. Is there someone out there who can answer this?

Please no lectures... I did NOT breed her..... accidents do happen, she will be fixed AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE to do so after the pups are born.

I have been doing a lot of reading about birthing pups, and care of both the pups, and my Female, but I can't find anything about this issue!

Any friendly advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

Sorry this is so lame, but am I totally deluded in thinking my dog is really cute? People say she is, but I think they may be humouring me.
