Dogs - January 2007

My family is used to larger dogs (siberian husky, lab, golden retriever, etc.). I just had a beautiful black lab die from cancer, and am thinking about another. I have a pretty dominant female lab/shepard mix, and need a dog that will be good with kids, and stay in the yard. Looking for experience from other dog owners.

I recently got a 15 week old yellow lab for christmas. She was shipped in from a breeder in Kansas. We had no probem teaching her tricks, housebreaking ect. We live on a second floor condo and had no probelm taking her out for walks. She loved them! recently after starting work again she has been so stubborn. She does not want to go outside enless its an urgent pottybreak. Once we get her to the field she is fine but recently she has been sitting and not allowing us to walk her at times. We have tried lifting her walking to her and everything.

I have a pup, 1-1/2 yr old. (check her out, pic to the left)
The past month, she has had HORRIBLE breath. She is a Cocker Spaniel. I had another Cocker, who just passed away last year, was 15yrs old. His breath wreaked too, but I thought it was because of his age. Is this normal?? Could it be a "Cocker" thing?

What kind of chew toy can I get him that won't break he is tearing up my rose bushes this beast I mean he ate it all the way down to almost the roots and he has food and space to run but he keeps tearing them up, I got several toys for him but it's never enough to occupy him for long and he starts attacking them again,oooh he gets on my nerves. Oh and do you know where I can find a good collar he keeps busting them on the leash cause they usually click with a plastic gadget that clicks it on I think I need metal clicky things.... I hope you can understand what I'm asking cause I ramble sometimes, ok Thanks

a friend of mine who asks me for advice, as she knows i hate giving advice if im not certain its right, but anyway, i am not particular about this one, she has a great dane male he lives indoors with her even sleeps on her bed she wants to know if when she brings her new bf over to stay the night will it make the dog jealous, should she still let the dog sleep on the bed as her and her bf will be sleeping together, and is it wrong to have sex in front of your dog, so far only advice i gave her is that her bf may have different ideas about staying if he finds out where the dogs sleeping. what can i say to her to help her dilemma, i dont particularly want to answer this one but shes a good friend thanks all

Her name is Alanda Koenen and she's in Iowa she breeds pomeranians and maltese. I'd like to know anything about her because I am interested in buying one of her pups but I am scared of buying from a puppymill. The name is Koenen Kennels.
Thanks

I understand that there are a few reputable breeders out there who are breeding to better the breed an offer high quality pets to good families.

But, why, when it costs between $41 and $51 to have the dogs fixed, why wouldn't they? Do people not understand that it is healthier for the animal? Why, why, why???!!!

Vet says that I am doing all that I can for him, he is a strong dog and loves to climb mountioins and break trail in the snow, he does not want to stop, trips are shorter but he just wants to go the next day, anyone have any home remedies? His biggest probles is getting up and laying down. He is still frisky when he is in pain, he is just a great big moose that wants to run loose in the woods (with dad and or mom)

My six week old female lab puppy came from a home where her mother was very sick. She had to be removed from her mother and she was allowed to play with children who let her run after and nip their feet and ankles. I'm well aware of the fact that she is six weeks old and this will all take time. I have had several lab puppies. I love the breed dearly but I have never had one who nipped and bit and ran under your feet as this one does. It is imperative that I get this tendency (I won't call it habit) under control. My husband has had three spinal surgeries, is not very steady on his feet, and these actions of hers could lead to disaster for him, her, or both. I was raised on a farm. I've worked with animals all my life. I basically know I can stop this behavior in time but I was hoping someone might have an idea of how to expedite the matter a bit quicker than the normal methods. I want her to be the happiest, healthiest, most loved companion for us yet. Thank you.
