Dogs - December 2006

At a dog training conference a German lady presented evidence of physiological damage done by shock collars. Her studies led to store shelves in parts of Europe removing shock collars from their shelves.

The So called alpha roll evolved from a supposed study done on wolves many years ago. It was thought the leader of the pack would force the subordinate wolves on their backs to show his leadership.
Nowadays, in studies done by people who earn advanced degrees studying both dogs and wolves, it has been determined that doesn't happen. The subordinate will sometimes offer submissive behavior, and the canids that do the rolling of other canids are actually just "Alpha Wannabes" or bullies.

I'm planning on getting a couple of dogs, but I would kinda like a dog that can swim. I know the English Bulldog can't swim, but the OVB is a little better than the Bulldog so I was wondering if the OVB is any better at swimming or just as bad?

I live by myself in a one-bedroom apartment in Queens, NY. It is actually a multi-family house, and there is a large backyard. I would LOVE to get a small puppy, one that would grow into a big dog, but family and friends say it is unfair to have a large dog in a small house. I say with all the access to the outdoors, the dog wouldn't feel cramped. What are the best dogs to have in my situation? Thanks.

My boyfriend and I are considering adding a new little member to our family, but we are not looking forward to the housebreaking and chewing part. Right now we are spoiled b/c we have a VERY well behaved Pit Bull who literally never makes messes or chews anything, she's an angel :o). Don't worry, she's not aggressive and has lots of dog friends of all sizes. So, which one do you think will be better for us? Thanks for the help.

I went to a party and played with a dog. About a week later I found out the dog has parvo but wasn't showing signs yet. I have a new puppy. I am really worried he is going to get it. He has had his 6 and 8 week shots. And is now 12 weeks old.

My middle son really wants a dog. He has lobbied pretty well for it and is actually starting to convince me! Although I'm not a dog person, I can see my son needs a pal. The problem is, no one is at home during the day except our two cats. Is there any breed of dog that will be suited to having only cat-company during the day?

Also, I am concerned about the following obstacles: slobbering, smell, accidents, yapping, etc. Are there any breeds that are good for non-dog people like me but still fun enough for an active boy?

If you say, don't get a dog remember -- I don't have one just for these reasons. However, I am trying to get past these obstacles to make my kid happy. I know a pet is for life, so I want to make a good decision. Any insghts? Your responses are appreciated!!!!

my miniature pincher keeps acting funny. shes shaking and acts like she`s about ready to collapse. she`ll be trying to walk but will be sliding on the tile. shes never done this before and im worried. im not sure if its cause she`s overweight or if its cause she`s old. she wont lie down either, she sits up and falls over and then trys to sit up again, and keeps doing that. but she`s still eating and drinking. should i put her down? i dont want her to suffer.
