I have 1 poms and yes I did travel to get her,I drovehours away to go see this breeder that wanted me to spend time with there mother and father before I took the dog home so that I could see how they acted before I brougth one of there pups home with me. I have the papers for this dog because there father and mother were in the pedigree breed. The pomeranian that i want to breed it with does come from a backyard breeder and has no papers. I have no way of telling what there parents had but I brought it to the vet to get checked out and the vet said that they would be fine. So why is it so bad to breed these two poms together? I know I can call my vet anytime if somehting happens, and I am off of work for the next few months anyways so she would not be alone. I am not even selling my baby poms for money, or to make a profit I just want to give some of these poms to my friends because they are very well tempered and good around kids is that so bad? Why not give me advice on breeding

I am interested in the Akita breed, and am trying to collect as much information as I can. Alot of information about this breed, whether it be from a breeder or trainer's mouth, or from media sources, is not consistent.

I strongly feel that I can handle a dog such as an Akita, as I have had experience dealing with a Pitbull cross, a Husky mix, and others. I understand this breed can be aggressive with other dogs because of it's temperament, and how it was used in the past. Some sources make the Akita sound like some overly aggressive dog that will flat out kill another dog no matter what. From some other sources, they can get along if the Akita is introduced to the other dog as a puppy, and if I do get this breed, I plan to do just that.

Like I said, I feel that I can handle this breed, but I am wary about how it will act as an adult toward my other dogs, even being introduced as a puppy.

My 7 month old Keeshound puppy has blood and mucous in his poop, does anyone know what could be wrong?

I took a sample of his poop to the vet but it tested negative for any kind of parasites, virus or bacteria. His vaccinations are up to date and he is dewormed. The Vet did a manual search for any obstruction and found none. She checked his anus found nothing, sent me on my way with meds and said to keep an eye on him over the next 2 days and bring him back in for an xray if it continues. His poops are often very soft to runny, but occasionally more solid like they should be. There is blood and mucous around the stool and not in it. He's still happy, playful, and eating/drinking well, although appetite might be a little less than usual. I feed him one of the best, premium food Nutro Natural Science for Puppies! He is constantly in my presence and not sure what he ate that could have caused this. Very worried. Does anyone have same problems with their dog

i have a white german shepherd that is 5 months old. her ears stood up at 3 months, and by 4 that one was leaning too far.

her right ear is leaning over the OTHER way (points in towards the middle of her head). when she lays her ears back, this ear stands up like it is supposed to. its like she has no control over that ear, and it just stands up all the time.

has anyone ever experienced this before with a german shepherd or any other breed that has erect ears? i'm just not sure what to do! i feel like i need to tape it DOWN rather than up!

thanks for all your help.

My dogs ears are really itchy. She wines when she rubs them with her paws and when she rubs her head on the floor. The inside of her ear turns all red from the scratching, when cleaning her ears you can hear a liquidy, squishy sound. I have taken her to the vet twice, but they can not find anything they just give her pills for itching. I have even tried different foods if she has food allergies and nothing has worked. Please help!!!

I have a 2 year old springer spaniel, he's in great shape but every now and then he gives off a really strong fishy smell. I have no idea what causes it, when you smell him hes clean, I think a little bit of it may be urine but he isnt peeing. Has anyone else had this problem, if so how did you fix?

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions - I have been working diligently to house train my cocker spaniel. She's an absolute delight - very loving with an incredibly quirky, funny personality. But it seems like I need to take her out at least once per hour in order to avoid her peeing in the house. I set up a bell that she has to ring everytime she goes out. She happily rings that bell, but she's STILL messing the house if I don't take her out like CONSTANTLY. What's worse, everytime we visit my parents, she pees on their rug and they're frustrated with it. Any suggestions? Is this normal for an eight-month-old cocker to still have this issue? Thanks a million for any advice.

I heard that eating chocolate can kill only some kinds of dogs. Then do golden retrievers fall under that category?

My dog bites and chews everything. Sometimes I have to leave for a couple of hours and I have to put her in the kitchen so she doesn't chew on stuff. I want her to be able to be in the living room where she likes to be but, she tears up everything she can get her teeth on. I wanted to get her a muzzle but, I don't know what is the maximum time she could be in a muzzle. Does someone know? I don't want doglovers to criticize me so if your going to put a mean answer don't even bother....thanks. :)

My dachshund loves to eat wood. So far she has chewed the trim around the door, the window frames, the chair leg, and practically eaten my head/foot boards on the bed. I have tried spraying some nasty smelling stuff I bought at the pet store on the furniture, but she happily chews right thru it. I just got married and my hubby is moving a VERY expensive wood bedroom suite in, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to move her out. Has anyone found anything that helps? She also chews holes in her blanket, my bras, or anything else she can snitch from me. When it first started, I thought it was a puppy stage, but she is now 2 1/2 yrs old. She gets bones to chew on and toys to play with, so I am at a loss. Help!

man I have no idear where you people are from when you answer all these dogs questions but where am from there are no dogs left in these shelters with no place to call home! We have 2 pet stores that rarely carry dogs because there isn't any out there to give away because people always give them a home before they even get to give them to pet stores. I know there probably is a lot of dogs out there to give away to a good home but not around here plus am not going to get a dog that I can't see first flown to my house for me to keep. How do I know what there attitudes are like.
why would I want them around a little child when I don't know there attitudes.
yup I confess I don't know much about breeding dogs but at least I know mine have both been to the vet to be checked out for diseases and such and I know they both have good attitudes for when I have my child! So why would I want a dog that I don't know much about?

my family and i are having a debate on whether we should get a large dog or small dog.
we are considering border collies for big and boston terriers for small dog.
i have 3 sisters and 2 little brothers, 3 and 6.
they are energetic and need a dog that can tolerate them.
my mom is all in for the boston terrier because
1.) they shed less
2.) they are less expensive to take care of.
i really need help!
i am really partial to the big dog.
and also...
do you see a lot of big families with small dogs?
i dont really.
i see a lot of large families with big dogs, do you?
i know big dogs might be less expensive,
but does it matter if the dog you want is the love of your life?
please help!
thanx!

I have an Alaskan Malamute. This was the first time I tried trimming his nails, and WHAM-), on the 3rd nail, i cut it too short. Poor guy bled for about ten mins. I tried holding a towel to the cut nail, but that doesn't work with a 100 lb dog who is hurt. I ended up with blood all over my carpet, in three different rooms!!!

What is your best toenail cutting advice, other than groomer?

based on the sounds that she makes and how hard it is to wake her up i am assuming they are hellish and extremly vivid... often shakes while still having the nightmare and is usually a little disorientated after awaking.
