Dogs - February 2007

how are poodles so associated with France, if they originated in Germany? also how did poodles get the reputation of being lazy "pillows"? i mean in all the shows, the poodles are mean, and superficial, such as that movie, with the orange cat, called "Oliver and Company" when they are NOT like that!! i would know bcuz i have a poodle. when we went to adopt her from the breeder, she and all of her family members were running FAST around the yard, and playing fetch, and comin' and lickin us!! me and my brother were surprised at the time bcuz of the reputation we thought they had. how come poodles got this reputation instead of like.............. dalmations or something??? we still have our now 6yr. old poodle, and she is the most wonderful dog ever.
what's your view on this situation, and why are poodles known as being like this when they're NOT??

Wouldn't passing a law that prohibited the sale of puppies at stores make a huge impact in shutting down puppy mills? Why is this legal? You always hear politicans talking about animal rights, why don't they do something about it and make it illegal for stores to sell puppies??!! And, why, when shows like Dateline and 20/20 do undercover investigations of these puppy mills, don't they bring cops with them to shut them down, arrest and throw in jail the cold-hearted ******* that run them?? Obviously it's going to take more than telling people "don't buy a puppy at a pet store" for this madness to stop. For every person who decides to not buy from a store, there is always somebody who will. I just don't understand.....

I have a 10 month old jack russell and was wondering if anyone had some original games they play with their dog. Her favorite thing to do is fetch and retrieve toys/balls. I can throw her tennis ball and have her bring them back to me for hours and she loves it. I know she is not bored, but I wanted to try something a little more challenging. She is also learning to catch the frisbee and will be taking agility classes starting next month. So just wanted some other ideas. Thanks!

Pavlov's dog would say 42, I find our dog learns in the 15-20 range..but needs to learn again after a few days, but with fewer repetitions. How about you?

I have two dogs and don't take them out much (my husband usually does) - when I took them to the local park the other day they ran up to this other dog and owner and did the usual sniffing etc. The owner took exception to this and said he was going to start kicking my dogs if I didn't take control of them as his dog was a bit old and nervous. I told him I was in control of them and not to bother kicking them. Is it not doggy ettiquette to let your dogs interact with others?

Our dog has been scooting his butt across the carpet and licking it excessively. He isn't having any problems pooping. I want to take him to the vet however they won't except payments and I don't have the money up front. I am very concerned and want to know if he is going to be ok and if there is anything I can do to help him. We are going to take a stool sample to the vet this week however they also want ot see him because they think his anal glands moght need to be expressed. I have noticed that after he poops he seems to relax a little more. He lays down instead of scooting all over my living room and he doesn't lick at his butt as much so maybe it is just the anal glands. Whoever would like to write back please do! I am very worried, our pets are part of our family and I would be devistated if something happened to him.

We adopted a dog from an older person who just passed away. My husband is friends with her son and he was the one who asked if we wanted the dog. We wanted one, but weren't quite sure about the timing. Now the dog's with us and we don't know anything about her. She didn't come with any toys or a blanket or any info on her habits (going outside and daily habits and stuff). Did we make a mistake in taking her in? I was afraid they would put her down if there is nobody to adopt her. The shelters in NY State euthanize animals that are not adopted in a certain amount of time! Please help - any ideas and input is highly appreciated.

I just took my dog to the vet again because he develops staph infections from a contact allergy. This has been happening off and on for about two years. My vet and I are fresh out of ideas as to what he could be allergic to.

He is up to date on flea prevention and the vet found no fleas. It's heavy winter here, and there isn't a spec of grass to be seen anywhere. We do not use carpet fresh, febreeze, or any such products. He is not crated during the day and so he isn't laying on dirty bedding all day. He has a dog bed, but never uses it. We do have carpeting (plush and berber), but it's new within the last two months, and this has been going on much longer than that.

Any other ideas or suggestions as to what could be causing these allergies? The vet says she hasn't seen a case this bad or frequent before. She says it is most definately a contact allergy, NOT a food allergy.
