I'm only curious, I'm trying to learn about dog shows. Is there any type of breed that is known to be very good in dog shows? Or is it all about training and skill? Thanks!

Can anyone explain why my male St. Bernard layed right on top of my husband, nose to nose when my husband was sick with a bad cold and fever. My dog never did this before. My husband was laying on his back on the couch sick with a terrible cold and fever and my St. Bernard got up on top of him and laid his body stretched out right on top of him. Was he trying to keep him warm or something. He never, ever laid on anyone before. Can someone explain this behavior.

Are St. Bernard dogs really the gentle giants that they are portrayed as, or do they have a mean streak in them. Thank you.

I think rubbing a dogs face into the mess is very cruel so please don't respond with that.Would a puppy training device help with an older dog?I don't think it's a health issue a she time sher pee-pee party at such weird times,when we're home and we never catch her doing it.She also jumps up on the kitchen table when we are there and has no qualms about jumping up on other furniture,She was rescued from a "crack house",in south central.los angeles.No rules there probably,,,

Someone said that they weren't, is this true? I don't believe them, but I'm just checking. Are there any sites that will inform me about dog shows and about what dogs are aloud and aren't? Thanks!

I know usually on this website people answer very rudeley, but I would like it if you didn't this time. I am very interested in breeding golden rterievers, and I want to know more about it. Yes they aregoing to be purebred and have very good backrounds, I know that. But how do you do the shots? How do you advertise? and over-all what do you do? I know most of you will say... if u don't know about it don't do it! but before anyone learns about something they don't know how to do it. so i just want to learn. Thanks a ton! and please no rude answers, I hate those!

I have a black lab mix about 2 yrs. old. He has slowly been getting meaner. He never liked us messing with his harness and it's come to the point that I can't even take off his leash with out him growling. Yesterday he bit my hand by nothing serious. what do you think?

Will handling puppies before their eyes are open cause sore eyes, or is it just a myth?

In the past 6 months I've adopted two dogs from a) being found stray and b) the animal shelter. I know it would just be a matter of guestimating what the temperments of each animal would be -- but would you like to take a guess and give me some constructive advice?

Dog 1 - Ginger - 1yo spayed female JRT/West Highland Terrier
Dog 2 - Foxy... - 3yo spayed female Chi/Italian Greyhound

They are wonderful pets and get along famously, but I was wondering what I have to look forward to for either girl. We love them SO much! Each is crate trained, walked 2x a day, allowed to play in the yard supervised, and fed Artemis Fresh Mix Small Breed Adult kibble (if any of that applies to their temperment).

Constructive advice appreciated and welcomed.

I am six months pregnant, and over the past couple of months my dog, a 4-year-old spayed lab mix, has been exhibiting unusual behaviors. These include nesting, collecting and placing all her toys in her or our bed, hiding her food dish, and an apparent need to be physically closer to my husband and I. We are watching the special on the National Geographic Channel about animals in the womb, and they're describing similar behaviors as signs of false pregnancy. They explained that the false pregnancy evolved from all of the b*tches in a pack having to raise the pups of the dominant b*tch. I'm wondering if my dog could be going through a sympathetic pregnancy with me, or is she just being weird?

My friend adopted a Rat Terrier from a shelter last week. The doggie came home with a cough. Now he has a full blown Kennel Cough. She took him to the Vet and he is on antibiotics. The Vet said that should clear on 48 hrs. It's kennel cough contagious for humans, or could I bring the virus with me to my dogs at home since I had the sick doggie on my lap?

We've had him for four years and all his breeder paper work and the microchip paper work was lost in our move. What should I do?

My Sami (Left) does. In the morning she always "wakes" my husband up if he ignores the alarm by poking him in the head with her paw.
She also has to give everyone in our family a "checkup" (including the other two dogs!) everyday. She puts her face right by your mouth until you say "AHHHH" then she looks around in your mouth,then pats you with her paw and moves on. I guess we should have called her Doc!
What does your dog do?

I am considering the following 5 breeds for purchase. The Sibe, the Mal, the GSD, the Bull Terrier and the Belgian Malinois.

The only one I don't particularly know much about is the Belgian Malinois. Any owners out there care to shed some insight?
