I really like this breed but don't want to spend lots of money on one and have it keel over on me. Anyone have experience with this?

My puppy went to be neutered today and I was wondering what kind of aftercare he will require and anything special that I should do for him. Thanks!

OK! nothing is wrong with my dog. But what is so wrong with having a mixed breed puppy? Mutts are great dogs! Believe it or not ALL DOGS ARE PUREBRED MUTTS! They are all from wolves. Yes the same wolfs they were mixed with other species of wolves to get it to look like your dog. So actually why wont anyone buy a mutt? Its becasuse of those stupid dog shows isnt it? I have a mutt and he is way better than any of your "show dogs"! Anyways...........................stop going for the "purebreds" because even though you dont want to believe this they are ALL MUTTS!!!!

I have been looking into getting my first dog. I don't know what breed would be best suited for me. I live by myself in an apartment, so it would have to live indoors, however, I like spending time outside.

I heard of a community in Florida that had proposed a licence and insurance be required of Pitt Bull owners. The licence would not be issued until the City could verify the dogs enclosure and the owners insurance coverage.

My 9-month old Boxer drank some disgusting water yesterday when my husband and I took her for a walk. She vomited twice last night and had diarrhea this morning. We think that that might be the reason why she is vomiting. Today she ate her food and drank her water as usual. She seems normal and playfull as always. But how do I prevent her from vomiting and having diarrhea again? I really don't want to take her to the vet cause I know they will charge me a lot of money. Can I just try to give her some peptobismol?

I was just wondering, I know that breeding pure breed dogs is good money, but how much does it cost to have a pregnant dog and to have the puppies and actually care for them untill they are sold? There are doctors visits, shots,food....and personal time to care for them! After they are sold, do you actually just break even or make more?

I have 2 cats (ages 4 and 5) and was wondering what breed or type of dog would be good around them? Or maybe you could tell my what breed is not worth considering.

How long untill you can pet your dog after you have applied the medicine? Also can you tell me about your own experinces with it. (Can you include a source for the first question?) Thank you!

Ok, so I just registered my bulldog puppy with the AKC and they sent me a three generation pedigree. Follow me on this, I'm a little confused myself. My dog's mother's dad (that would be my dog's granddad) is the same dog that my dog's father's granddad is (my dog's great granddad, on the other side of the family). Does that make him inbred. I mean surely the AKC wouldn't register him if he was, right?

We don't care about shedding/brushing, we have a long-haired cat that we already get to take care of on that account so we're used to it. :) Anyways, we have a large, fenced-off backyard, someone home at almost all times, and are a very active family. The one thing is that they can't go crazy around cats, since we have 3. So, what are the upsides and downsides of both?

My dog pretty much sleeps all day - what can I do? I try to make sure she gets plenty of exercise, but still she sleeps nearly all day. Is it because she's lonely? I'm not sure. She got really sad when my wife died June 18 2006, and she was her dog. She didn't eat for 2 1/2 weeks and then cried all day long for 2 months. Nothing like listening to a dog crying all day. I know she doesn't like being in the house. She seems fairly sad still. I don't know. She's a Chow - she's really not very old, she'll be 15 on
December 15th. Chows can live 24 years or more if taken care of well. She is healthier than Golden Retrievers I"ve seen at 5 years old. I probably walked her 45 minutes at least yesterday for instance. So she's doing fairly well Better than most dogs her age and younger. I've seen dogs age 4 and 5 much worse condition than her. I do a good job taking care of her.
Thanks.

Hi all,

My dog's name is Rico. He is a 13-month-old Golden Retriever. I am from Dubai, United Arab Emirates; where the weather is hot. Nonetheless, he has his own doggie home with AC cool enough that he loves it. He eats Eukanuba dry food with boiled fresh chicken. He would never eat the dry food alone. The fresh boiled chicken is a must. Recently, his stool has becoming soft and loose. It's like I don't know maybe Diarrhea ? But, it frightens me that he has it because his meal and walks are very organized. What could cause this? How can I make his stool back to normal and not being this kind?

Thanks. Awaiting your answers. =)

My Pug is near the end of his amazing life. He's 15 yrs old (91 in human years), he's still spry, alert, & ever-so snuggly...but his heart is weak & he has a collapsed trachea.
At his age, I know he's on borrowed time.
He's my best fiend, I've had him since he was a puppy, I got him shortly after High School, I've basically grown up with him, he's been there for me through the good & bad times, through girlfriends & relocations, etc., etc. Basically put, he's my best friend & while I'm a pretty tough guy, I know it will be one of the toughest things I've ever done to say good-bye to him..that being said I am at a loss as to how to best honor him when he goes. I live in a place where it seems every bit of green space is being bulldozed down, so my thoughts of burying (no cremation) him in a place that will always be are out. I pictured a memorial in a quiet place in the woods where I could go & reflect in peace, that will always be there...I don't know, any ideas?

My son is 9 and my pup is 11 weeks and we can not get him to stop nipping and biting his feet.

I have a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, that was born on Dec 4, he is approx 6 months old.

I can not seem to break him to stop pissing in his cage! I will take him out, and he will pee outside, then I will bring him back inside and as soon as I close his cage door and walk away from him, I will see him pissing in his cage! He then "Licks" is all up, is that normal?

I will take him outside, allow him enough time to do his business, then I will sit outside with him for another 10 minutes or so just to make sure he is done. Then I bring him in, and like I said, He will piss inside his cage.

He weighs about 25 pounds, so I feed him 1 1/2 cup of puppy food in the morning, and then I feed him another 1 cup in the evening. I give him fresh water at each feeding, and no I do not leave the water dish down during the day except if he does not drink all his water when I feed him.

I do not let him drink any water after I bring him in from outside.

What can I do to break him of this???
