Dogs - January 2007

What is the differnece between a normal disobedient/naturally aggressive dog and a rabid one? Just wondering cause I saw two dogs on leashs during walks barking at me. I wonder if those dogs have rabies.

This is a true story, one of the following 2 dogs actually bit his owner on the face, right on the lips. I am asking you to guess which dog was the culprit based on looks, breed and information I provide and I want to know why you think you are correct about the dog you choose.
Dog #1 is a male mutt, 8yrs old, neutered, 80lbs, never violently abused, owned his entire life by a woman who is a straight A student and very popular. This dog was born and raised in a rural area. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n15/jaspertopaz6/Buddy.jpg
Dog #2 is a male American Bulldog, 2yrs old, not neutered, 100lbs, never violently abused, owned by several people before being owned by a man who is a highschool drop out. This dog was born and raised in a urban area. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n15/jaspertopaz6/Nitro.jpg

I lived for over a year in the same house with these 2 dogs, both slept in the bed with me at night, were affectionate, gentle, housebroken and well trained.

the environment here i think, so it keeps pooing or peeing :) around the house and it's driving all of us crazy! we put diapers on her, so she wouldn't, but she takes them off. Are there anyways I can take her to stop? By the way, I don't think I'd be able to teach her anymore, because she's too old...

as a puppy. so i guess it will look pretty closely like the dog in the link. and i know the coloring of the dog doesnt matter but it'd be nice to get a dog with coloring that i like

Or with our dish spong/cloth?
Am I being unreasonable? He is british, and has been with me in the states for just over a year. I love him, but he thinks I am being unreal and a nag.
Do other people do this?
Is this sanitary? I love my dog of 7 years but I dont eat out of his plates and I dont want him to eat out of mine, nor does he drink from my glasses. His dog doesnt either. I just do not think its clean.
He could wash them in the bathroom sink, I would be ok with that, and if they had their own sponge. We have a small house and the bathrom is very close to the kitchen corner where their bowls are so its not out of the way to take them to wash in the bathroom.
HELP......I will send him ALL replies.
THANKS

I have a large male hybred he is 3 yrs old and my female hybred will be 3 this month. I want to breed them but he is much taller then she is and ends up on her back ( he has no aim ) this is the first time for both of them. What steps do I have to take to breed the two. She seems to short for him and wont stand for him to get the right aim.

My dog is almost 3 years old. He does'nt go outside much, because he does'nt like the cold. Is there anything I can do to make him less sad when we leave, besides get another dog or cat.

He's blind, nearly deaf,and spends ALL his waking time sniffing out food ie the garbage, the cat's food and will risk life and limb to simple lick an empty bowl. He always had plenty of food, but he acts like he's starving to death. He's 14+ years old and could easily break a bone jumping up on a counter.

I just got a puppy from the SPCA. He's a lab/shepherd/pit bull. He's very cute, and very energetic. I just wanted to see what other mixes people have had. If you have any funny stories, go ahead and add those also. Thanks!

I have a three month old mini dachshund. I want to feed him dog food that is very good for him and will provide all the nutrients he needs but that is also affordable. So far I've been feeding him Iams and Puppy Chow. I've heard conflicting things about all brands of dog food. Suggestions?

I am thinking of bringing my Papillon to dog training at one of these places. I was wondering if anyone has tried them and how well it went. Is it worth the money? Do they do a good job? What can I expect to get out of the training?

Should I invest in a personal trainer instead?

Any info will be a huge help!
Thank you

So, I bring home a new dog and things are good for the first week and then all the little things come out. I come home from work and let the dogs out of their confinement and one of them immediatly jumps to my face and hits me, hard, with his muzzle. Anyone know how to correct this or what it means? He does this all the time and once busted my lip open. It's a small problem compared to my other dog, which I am working on and probably will have to forever but it's so annoying!

My sister found a dog on her back porch. She took him to the vet to see if he has a chip and there wasn't one. There is a colar but no ID and it looks like he got out of where ever he was tide up at because there is a peice of yarn on his colar. He is a really cute Jack Russel mix. He is white with caramel spots. We have already thought of quite a few. Max, Maxwell, Jack, Zeus,Dipstick, Sprout, Spot, Peanut, and Charley. He is very curious and very sweet.
What should we name him?

I got a puppy about a month ago, I've been trying to train her by crate training which was reccomended by a VET because dogs supposedly will not soil on themselves, My pup has disproved that theory. I watch her water and only give it to her during feeding time, in which she gets 15 minutes to eat and drink. But after a month of cleaning my entire carpet, bed, couch, ect. Im starting to wonder about alternitives? HELP. Serious answers only please.

it's shaped like an igloo, so it holds in heat in the winter. she likes pine needles and those cedar chips that you'd normally use to line hamster cages with. i've covered the bottom of her house with both. she'll go in for a while, but then she'll come right back out and look at me like i'm crazy. i praise her for going in also, but she won't stay in for very long.

We adopted a 1-2 year old Schnauzer/terrier mix from spca last friday. They said they could tell she was probably previously owned by her reaction when animal control brought her in. So far we are only taking her out on leash. She acts like she wants to run. How long does it take for her to learn this is her home and we love her?
She also acts scared in certain parts of the house that were inhabited by our previous dog (God rest his soul 12/24/06) and these areas are to be her areas.
Appreciate any advice.

We have recently rescued a one year old Bassett "puppy". He does a good job of going to the door when he needs to go outside but if we're not right there to let him out, he will tinkle on the tile. He also seems to potty every 20 minutes or so. There is no blood in his urine nor does it seem to be painful but he sure seems to go A LOT! We also have a 5 year old boxer and due to her schedule it makes me questions the new guy's MO. I will take him to our vet but can't until the adoption goes through and due to the holidays the rescue ladies have not been very attentive to finalizing our paperwork. I have never owned a Bassett before....he is so awesome but I am wondering about this issue. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone!!!

I gave him flea baths and i have seen none at all. He had a few the other day, but this morning, he woke up with ALOT more. They are not anywhere else on him (his stomach or chest) but strictly on his back. They are not scabbed, just bumps. Any ideas on what it could be or how to treat?
