Dogs - November 2006

Hello! My little douberman can stop thinking about my black poodle. He wants to be with her, but we don't want him with her since we don't want her pregnant. How do I distract him from her?? Remedies??

I'm in college, and I live on campus, but it the school is in my home city, so I am able to come home some weekends without any problem. Everytime I come home my dog (whom I love very very very much) acts like she hasn't seen me in years. She's jumping like an acrobat and running around, and it makes me feel so loved! But sometimes I can be gone for like two or three hours and she acts the exact same way as if I've been gone for two or three weeks. She's closer to me than any other members of my family, and I cuddle her and treat her like my baby when I'm home; she also sleeps with me when I'm at home, and she sleeps in my bed when I'm away on campus. Is it weird that she acts this way or is it normal for a dog to be so attached? She's a 5 year old Beagle/Terrier mix named Oreo (in the picture).

I have two labs a black one (Rohm), who is almost 3 and a chocolate one (Taz) who is 6 months. Taz was potty trained and always went to the door when he had to go out. Now it seems like he “forgets” to go and goes a little in the house and then once you take him out he goes again. If I do not take him out at least every hour we go through this, but he can hold it all night long. Rohm can go hours without going and he always goes to the door when he has to go out. Also, we let Rohm stay in the house all day when we are not home but we have left Taz home with Rohm alone for 20 minutes a few times and each time our house is a mess when we get home We know it has to be Taz because Rohm never touches anything when he is by himself. What do you think is wrong with Taz in the peeing department and the tearing apart our house. We didn’t go through this with Rohm and the two dogs get along pretty well, other than them playing around, growling, and wrestling, but I think they are playing.

We are looking into adopting a young dog. She is 8 - 10 months old and is crate trained. Is this house trained or what? If not can I use this to house train her, if so how?

She has already had four. I think there is more but not sure. I think she is taking a break. I have read that they have 7-12 pups. She is 5 and this is her first litter. Thanks!

I have two 1-year-old male dogs, both were nuetered at 6 months of age. My question is - is it normal for them to still try to, ehem, assume a mating position?

Because of this my husband thinks they weren't nuetered properly. I think it's a normal instinct in their brain, not their genitals.

We got a Staffordshire Terrior and she refuses to get house broken! She continually goes to the bathroom in the house. We take her out and she will pee but she will wait until she comes back in the house to poop. When we catch her going in the house we tell her she is bold and take her out immediately. What can we do to get her to not go in the house. (She was born May 1st).

We had a Miniature Pinscher (Min-Pin) that died this summer and we are considering a new dog. I know terriers love to bark and dig and can be strong willed, but I love the way these breeds look, small but hearty, and full of personality! I know these breeds must be regularly groomed and clipped, but it's worth it for their low-shedding quality, which is perfect for our 6 year old asthmatic son. We also have an enthsiatstic 7 year old daughter who would love to brush out a dog daily. Any thoughts on your favorite: Scottie, Westie or Mini Schnauzer, would be appreciated.

I'm interested in peoples experiences in settling in new dogs with established dogs and cats etc. How long did it take for them all to really settle together and be totally relaxed? What things did you do to help them get along? Experiences please!

Please tell me which breed is this. This is .. 5-7 weeks old puppy. Some people say this is German shepherd. While few say this is rotweiller. I have seen Fully grown German Shepherd. It doesnt look like one. Because it doesnt have erect ears. Pictures can be found at: http://kiwidog.9k.com/

As soon as he hears the theme song to "Law and Order" he howls. But only to the theme song of the old "Law and Order" (80's and 90's) Other then that, I can play all kinds of music, even if its similar, he doesn't react. He could be sleeping in the next room, but as soon as he hears the "dum dum" he sits right in front of the TV and howls. Anybody got a reasonable explanation or clue?

I live in Brazil and I am hopefully moving to the Beach soon and I want to get two Labradors, a Male and a Female. I don´t want to breed them but I think that they will be more contented if they have a Litters or two before I give them both the snip.
Would you recommend it better to get both dogs at the same time or would you recommend to get the Female six months before getting the Male. The reason I ask is because I have been told that if the Female is too small or too young then I have been told that the Puppies will not be healthy or would you recommend to get the Male first. As for training them would you recommend to train them both at the same time or would would you recommend to have one six months trained when I get the other so that the younger follows the older ?

Also, what would would you recommend to feed a Labrador from Puppy to Adult, Ihave been told that boiled chicken is very healthy for Dogs but I have been told raw minced beef is also good. Obviously food made especially for dogs is good but I think that Chicken and dog Biscuits would be the best. Would you agreee ?

And finally. If you mate a Chocolate Labrador and a Black Labrador what is the most likely colour of the Puppies ?

and received some very sensitive and constructive advice, but I am now at my wits end. We have had our dog Lassie since she was 4 weeks old and she is now nearly 17 yrs old. For the past few months she has begun to mess in the house and is constantly wanting to go outside during the day and night. She has no infection and is, other than a bit arthritic, generally healthy. My children have now left home and I am left 'holding the dog'. I am not being flippant, but I have virtually become a prisoner in my own home. I have even been sleeping downstairs all these months just to let her out and this can be up to 10 times during the night and more so during the day. I do take her out, but it has got to the stage where, even after a walk, she will still come in and mess. I know she is old and I love her dearly as do all the family, but they are all out and about and working and getting on with their lives. I sleep, on average, about 2hrs in 24 and my health and sanity is beginning to waiver.

Her dog ended up being put to sleep due to the poisoning. Our family is just so upset. Our daughter had her dog trained to do several tricks and was her very best friend. Is there anything legally we can do to this family or this kid?

Hi again,
New to all this so not sure if I can post a reply to my own question.
It is dog treat salami that I give her not human stuff from the supermarket - is this ok?
She never ate canned or dried food so I give her cooked chicken, slices of roast beef, turkey etc.
The tea is a comfort thing I think. When we sit at night that is her time for affection and attention and a drop of tea.
Strange I know.

My Border Collie female has just had a litter of 6 healthy and gorgeous puppies. The is nothing (health wise) wrong with them but one has a very unusual aspect. She was born with a stumpy tail. Rather than full length tail it stops about 2 cm from her butt and doesn't have a typical white tip on it. Is this unusual??
