What's your dog's "show name"? How'd you pick it?

Is there a way to scientifically determine what breeds have mixed to create a particular mutt?

I'm NOT interested in actually doing this. I'm just wondering if it's possible.

When i take my 6yr old King Charles Spaniel runs in the car she gets VERY exctied and yelps the whole way there!! she sounds as though she is being punched and won't stop whinging and yelping which makes me dread taking her anywhere. I have tried feeding her treats and once she finished a whole bag of doggy chocolate during the whole journey. This actually worked as it kept her mind off the ride but i would like to be able to take her on runs with me alone and not always have to ask someone along just to hold her as she jumps all over the car also. Any suggestions on how to stop her from doing this? Does this sound as though she is scared or excited? I'm not sure... It can be very embarrassing when we reach our destination ie; the beach as everyone hears her and stares at us :-(

how come people don't do the research first? Do you think it's an impulse buy? The cuteness of the puppy? The sad faces in the shelter? Or is it the idea of having a dog but not realizing the reality of it? I'll admit that I've jumped into things over my head before but nothing that involved the care of another living being. I don't understand the logic in that. Could someone give some insight please?

I am getting a new dog sometime within the next couple of weeks. I have been looking online for a checklist of some sort of things that I will need for her. She is a pointer mix. I know that I'll need food and what-not, but I also know that there are most likely some things I haven't thought of. Can you guys help me out?

I grew up with German Shepherds & Terriers, & we always prized our dogs for their sharp minds, telepathic ways, & almost uncanny sense of "being human".

Now, I'd like to adopt my first (& possibly second) dog of my own. I prefer sweet, affectionate, fragile-looking little dogs- these qualities in addition to intelligence.

I love the look of IGs, & all of the reading that I've done on them seems to match up with the "type of dog" that would be good with my own personality/ living situation (large apt, 2 cats, & I'd walk the dogs twice a day).

My only concern here is.. intelligence. Of course, all of the websites praise the minds of IGs, b/c they're trying to sell IGs. But I'd like an unbiased appraisal here, preferably from someone who has had enough exposure to IGs & Shepherds/Terriers to be able to compare their intellectual capacities.

Do you think I'd be happy w/ the intellect of IGs?

Any *kind* info will be appreciated. Thanks!

I would like to know a lot about my rat terrier puppy (training, feeding, behavior, playfulness ..Etc)
We just got two rat terrier puppies from someone who sold them in the ad. i took two of them (don’t worry they will not be together to fight and do the whole wolf pack thing, i have to keep them apart because its starting already. but they do know I’m the alpha =) my friend comes to get her's on first. However the puppies are 8 weeks old and have not seen a vet yet! I was lied to the women said she would send me paperwork on the puppies I tried calling and going there but no answer. Just yesterday one of the puppies gagged out a round worm so I know I need to take him to the vet ASAP, but I have to wait until tomorrow. Can someone please tell me a little about what I will need any paperwork’s? (Because I don’t have any)….Some of the questions that would be asked? Maybe an estimate of the cost for BOTH? What will my puppies have to go through?

-Syetta - thank you =)

Jack is a chocolate lab/ terrier mix. He is 13 years old and looks in good shape.(People think he is a puppy) Yesterday, we went to the beach and let him run around a lot. Later that night he started slipping and wobbling in my mom's room. He then threw up in the corner. I put him outside just incase he were to puke again. He went outside and just laid down in the cold. I called him and he wouldn't come. I had to go outside and drag him in. When he was inside he drank water while laying down. After he was done, I carried him downstairs into my room. He laid on the bed all night. I woke up @ 4am and he was upstairs. I brought he back down and he is still laying on my bed right now. Also I gave himwater downstairs and he drank a lot of it then spit a little up. Please HELP!

Weight pull is a sport for those who want to do something with their pitbulls that doesn't involve tiny leashes, points for color, or special "paper's" and who love to work with their dog to acheive a goal. If that's you, then weight pull may be your thing.
While Pit Bull's are excellent at weight pull it's not for everyone or for every dog. Training a dog in weight pull takes time, dedication, money, and if you're like me and live in an area with very few, if any pulling events you'll have to travel out of town to events. Which again costs money and time.
I don't want to turn you off to the idea of getting involved though. I just thought it fair that you know before hand some of the sacrafices that will be made.
Weight pull is a fun and exciting way to meet other Pitbull
owner's as well. Your dog is also meeting new doggy friends and getting some great socialization to boot.

I think I already know the answer to this, but whatever – I’m at college at the moment and I live with my mum in a house that has a ground floor and first floor. We haven’t got access to the garden, but it’s a nice(ish) area to walk about. Anyway, would it be fair to get a pet dog if I’m about to go to uni and my mum works three days a week?

ALL options are on the table...looking for creative ways to solve this problem without having to deal with the white trash that owns the dog.

I like dogs - just not dogs that keep me up at night and prevent my baby from napping...

My dog keeps jumping in our fish pond, churning it up and pulling the fountain to bits.
I have tried putting a wooden lattice over the pond but he just pulls that off (destroying it in the process).
Any other suggestions much appreciated.
