does it depend on colour, size or pedigree? I really don't know what to charge and don't want to put people off by a high charge

We have a male boxer pup and I am wondering how much does the average weigh. I have already read in books that they are around 55-65 lbs, but I have never honestly seen one that is that big! I work with dogs and I don't think I have seen one more than 50 lbs. Does anyone have a bigger boxer?? The reason I am asking is because our new townhouse requires a weight limit on pets, and my schnauzer is 14, and we can't go over 60.

Lab owners. DO you like your dog. Does it listen to you and is it loyal. I have a lab/beagle mutt and it is real smart but does not obey well. I think this is because the beagle in her but i was wondering if anybody else had this problem. My dog is shy and backs away when you approcah her. She always wants to go outside. If anybody had similar expieriences what did you do about it?

Sirius is a year old. From the time we brought him home at four weeks, he has had hip problems. My husband bought him for my birthday and when we noticed it, he offered to take him back and get me another dog. I declined.

From the time he has been 3 months old, he sometimes is in such pain that he collapses and refuses to move for hours. The Vet said that he will do some more X-rays on him and that for now I need to be thinking about surgery or the possibility of putting him to sleep when he gets a few years older.

To me, this is an extreme measure, and an expensive one.

He is a Labrador, and weighs around 63 pounds.

Anyone know of anything to ease his pain and make his life a little more comfortable?

Thanks

My dog is a 6 year old Yellow Lab and her name is Daisy. The first time we took her to the vet was when we got her to check up on everything. Well a few years later around when she was about 4 she started itching terribly. Like she would take 2 steps and itch...2 steps and itch. and on and on....she couldn't even sleep. So we took her to the vet and we got her a shot for hydrocotozone(sp?) and it got rid of all the fleas...but the vet told us that she was ALLERGIC to fleas...out of all things fleas! What dogs get the most! So she stopped for a while and now for about 2 weeks she is really starting to itch...I'm talking about worse than before..the vet told us to give her a bynnedryl(sp?) and it would help her. It sort of does but not enough..my dog is suffering and I feel terrible. Do any of yall know any home remedies I could give her or just anything...I must add she is well bathed so its not because she is dirty.

Thank you so much!

We were looking for a dog. Not a "mutt" or a purebred, but a dog that worked well for my families lifestyle. Shedding, intelligence and size were major factors. We researched breeds, breeders and health risks. We ended up with a multi-generation labradoodle female. Yes we paid more then I thought we would. But here is what we have after three months. One helluva dog!

Our Labradoodle will be medium size (45-55 lbs). She has a wavy black coat, most likely will not shed much. 90% potty trained in two weeks. 7 commands after three weeks. Is so laid back I thought maybe I made the wrong choice. Extremely loving, smart, low shedder and loves the water and the kids. No excessive nipping, barking or chewing. Loyal to a fault! What a "Mutt"

And as far as purebreds being "better" then mix breeds?
Read below and give me your thoughts. More health issues it seems

I think Doodles are wonderful! They are getting a very bad wrap!

About 7 years ago, some neighbors moved in and immediately started problems with us. First it was our dogs were bothering them, then it was our music, etc. Well, lately they have took it upon themselves to lie to any authority figure to get us in trouble with the law. Just yesterday, they had animal control take our dogs, because they lied to them and said that our dogs were dangerous and mean towards them.. in accuality it is the other way around they own a dog that has been trained to kill on comand. They have told this dog to attack us in our own yard, My husband called police, but they did nothing. We own 2 pitbulls, and a mixed mutt, these dogs are the kindest and gentlest dogs you could meet. My kids, relatives, and other neighbor kids love the dogs. The dogs have never showed any aggression towards kids or other people, exception of the mean neighbors - who taunted and teased in the past. any suggestions as what to do????

I have a Boston Terrier and he is 12 years old and has been itching his ears and groaning off and on for probably the last two months. I took him to the vet and they didn't know why he is itching his ears because he doesn't have ANYTHING in his ears. They can't find any gunk of any kind in his ears and I have been putting cleaning drops in his ears from the vet and that seems to help a little but I want to make sure and get rid of the problem so that it doesn't cause any harm to him in the long run.

The last time I took them out together for a walk, I noticed my male peeing on my females back leg. Has anyone else's dog done that, and do you know why he did this?

He's had runny poo for a couple of weeks now, the uncontrolable, explosive kind and my mum suggested feeding him boiled chicken and rice which i have been for about 4 days now but now its just as sloppy but with loads of clear jelly looking stuff in it.

hes eating, sleeping and is as playfull as normal which is why i havnt taken him to the vets yet but im getting a little worried.

is it normal for puppies to have runny poo for this long?

My german shepard puppy 'leaks' pee. she pees outside, then inside she will 'leak' (pee in a line, tiny bit here and there) whenever she is talked to or touched. my vet said it is a submissive behavior and for us to let her approach us... but she JUMPS on us (which we are trying to work on) and she STILL does pees! has this happened to anyone else? if so, how did you handle it?

she's 5 months old, ~35 lbs, we are starting obedience school soon, i'm afraid she'll pee all over the place there! we walk her daily, take her to the dog park on weekends, try to socialize her as much as possible... she just won't stop peeing (leaking)!!!!! HELP!

My dog is 3 years old, a medium size and a *****. After about a year and a half she started to moan and stratch her ear. She would cry if we touched it. we took her to a vet, who told us it was just a build up of wax, she had to clean it out, so she sedated my dog, she was that bad!
she still crys about her ear, it looks sore, but i cant afford 75.00 every time i take her to the vets to be given advice that isnt working and some spray which isnt helping the soreness.
Ive taken her 3 times to the vet already. any advice that could actually work
please help!!!!!!!!
