We have a 7 yr old yellow lab, best dog ever, who gets really bad ear infections. I know they're common due to the floppy droopy ears, but is there anything we can do to try to prevent them? The last one was so bad, he had gotten a secondary infection due to the scratching it and turned out allergic to the ear drops so he had to take benadaryl on top of it. Any ideas??

Also, I'm not saying I'd necessarily do it, has anyone heard of them clipping a Lab's ears for this reason?

I have a Benji-like terrier mix who's a real sweetheart. He's not aggressive and is basically very friendly. The one exception to that rule is when we're out for a walk and are approached by another (bigger) dog. Even if the dog only appears curious and not aggressive, my dog starts to get defensive and growls after a few minutes. Obviously, these bigger dogs could have him for lunch. I'm sure he's a bit intimidated by the size of these other dogs. However, most of them are friendly and just want to get to know him. Is there anything I can do that will help calm him and just make a new friend or two?

I live in a cold state that can get A LOT of snow, like today. I take my doggie on 3 walks every single day, unless there is a horrible thunderstorm or an awful blizzard. Since the snowfall had died down a bit, I decided to take my Yorkshire terrier poodle mix out on a walk. I decided to take the short way because he had short legs and I didn't want to tire him out. I had no idea how deep the snow really was! I was in boots, so I was fine, but poor Dennis was suffering. He was jumping like a frog to get through the really deep fluffy snow. I thought there were only a few deep areas, but I was wrong. By the time I realized the snow was too deep for Dennis to manage well, we were two thirds of the way back home, so we couldn't go back. I ended up carrying tuckered out Dennis the last bit there while he was shivering. My question is, why does my dog get HUGE snow chunks stuff to him? He is pretty well groomed, but still! (adding more, please wait)

I just bought a little chihuahua for my kids and even though we do the morning, after feeding and night routine of taking him outside, he's still peeing and pooping everywhere. I feel like giving up (but I obviously can't). HELP!!!!!!!!

im hoping to get a dog soon and i was wondering if i could get a little help since im not familar with certain breeds.
it needs to be small to medium size
minimal shedding
playful and loyal- but not overly active
not yappy like a toy dog
most of all- it has to be a snuggly dog
i dont know if all of these can fit into one breed but let me know any suggestions along with any good websites that list specific information on dog breeds and personalities

I have a 3 year old, female Golden Retriever who has a very sweet and laid back disposition. Two months ago I found a Chocolate Lab female puppy that had been dumped in the local park. When I couldn't find the owner I took her to the vet, got a clean bill of health and an opinion that she was 4 months of age. My question is I am not sure the Golden is all that happy about the puppy. They play hard and when she's tired I put the puppy away to give her a break but a couple of times she's gotten the puppy by the throat and growled at her. The puppy yelps, Cheyenne lets go and then the puppy is right back at her and they are wrestling around again. She lays around a lot but I don't know if she's just tired from the puppy activity or depressed because she's no longer the only dog. I had hoped a second dog would be company for her. Any suggestions on how to tell if my golden is unhappy about the situation? If I need to find the puppy a new home I need to do it soon. Thanks!

He is currently 26 inches to his shoulder. I now they can grow to 28 inches to the shoulder. At nine months and 26 inches do you think he will attain the 28 inches. He is currently 100 lbs in weight what do you think he would weigh at two years. I know this is all guess work but IF you have Akita's or have had them you may have a good idea. DID YOUR AKITA attain the full 28 inches (how tall was he at nine months) and so on.......... Thanks!

Say we have a 'cloning shop' that offers: Pet cloning, biotechnology upgrade, reproductive technology (for people who want to select pet's traits) and fertility treatment.

What would your response be to this? Which of the factors mentioned above would help dog breeding and how?

I am writing a paper on this. So your comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I thought she was chewing on a piece of raw hide, but it turned out to be a packet of the silica gel. She ingested the whole packet. She's 7 months old and a shih tzu.
I'm worried, but I'm broke and dont have the money to fork over a $200 medical bill, if it turns out that she will be fine.

I have read here that people are saying mixed breed dogs are healthier and have better temperments than pure bred dogs. I would like to see some FACTS or STATISTICS on this.

Have you seen any documented studies? What were their results? Where is all this information coming from?

I have a 2 year old 100lbs american bulldog whom I adore, and really want to take for walks, but when I do, he pulls me around! Also, several times he has gotten out of his collar when out for walks, and scares me to death because he runs right into the road. I really need a collar that will keep him from dragging me down the sidewalk, and that he will not be able to break out of!!
Thanks so much!!

My Weimaraner, Zoey, licks everything constantly. She does not have acral lick granuloma/dermatitis. The licking is not isolated to her legs or her body. She licks the couch, the bedsheets, the tables, the floor, etc.etc.etc. Does anyone have any idea why she does this (aside from the fact that she is a neurotic breed)? Is there any way to stave this off? I have already tried several "lick/chew" deterrants and to my horror, she LOVES them. So, sadly that will not work.
