I got this puppy in march from the humane society. He's a five month old 50 pound mixed breed but i'd like to figure out exactly what he is. Most people guess great pyrenees but he doesnt have a tail or the duclaw that great pyrenees have. I've also noticed now that he's getting older that the hair on his head is starting to get really kinky/curly. I'm including a link of a picture of him so please please look and tell me what you think.

LAst night I ask if this was fact or myth:Pit bulls are unpredictable; they can turn on anyone, even their owner, at any time.

Pit bulls are just as predictable as any other dog. Most people who say that a dog is "unpredictable" simply don't understand dogs. They believe the stories of people who were "just petting the dog, and suddenly it went crazy and bit me!" In the majority of these cases, the victim simply doesn't understand or has missed canine warning signs. Only a handful of dogs are really "crazy" and unpredictable. Many of these dogs have never had training of any kind. Some of these dogs have mental disorders that cause their unpredictable behavior. But this sort of behavior is not usually seen in pit bulldogs. In fact, the canine disorder known as "Rage Syndrome", where a dog attacks a person suddenly and without warning, is documented primarily in cocker spaniels and retrievers - very common family dogs.

This is not a question that I neccessarily need a answer to, what I would like is opinions from people who know what they are talking about. Here it is. I have owned dogs of many breeds all my life, as well as horses. I trained obedience in dogs, and have been int he show ring with the horses. I was a 4-H leader doing both the dog and horse projects.
The way I feed my full grown dogs is 1x a day, in the evening, afetr i come home from work. I have always known that Free choice feeding is wrong, and can cause bad behaviors and accidents as well. I know a couple people that do this, and to me it surely is pure laziness, you should feed at night or whatever time you choose, the dog has so long to eat, and then you pick up the bowl. This prevents accidents and other issues, train them early and thats that. Any opinions?

Would anyone like to guess the color and pattern possibilities in a German Shepherd litter? I know them. Just want to see if the genetic buffs would like to guess. The sire is a grey (silver sable) who is out of a white bred to a red sable. The Dam is a black and silver out of a black bred to a black and tan. What colors and patterns could we get from this breeding?

I wouldn't mind a little hole here and there, but he is digging trenches! He's a yellow lab/ weimer mix. He's 7 months old. I need some advice because when he is digging and dirt goes flyng into my neighbors flower beds she gets pretty mad. Besides that, I'm afraid he'll come upon a power line or something. Help!

I am thinking about applting to be a foster for largte dogs. We have a pair os Shih tzu's who we love dearly. But I find myself missing my last dog which was a german shepard.

He was a private rescue from one of my employee's and had heart worms when we got him. Despite treatment he died from heart failure four years later.

My biggest concern is that I will get an aggresive dog that will injure or kill one of my small dogs.
thanks

I have a cute 11 month old puppy. He is a fairly nice Pitbull x Rottie x Beagle. He is very disobedient, mean and can occasionally be aggressive. He isn't too smart and doesn't take to obedience, no matter how much effort I put in. He isn't socialized with dogs other than his "perfect partner in crime", a 5 year old female Samoyed x Lab. He tries to attack other dogs and although I took him to thorough socialization puppy classes, he lashed out at too many other dogs to take him back. He has tried to bite my 2 year old nephew so I discourage my sister to bring him over too often. He pulls a lot on the leash, even with a strong nylon harness and 6 foot double nylon leash. It took my 7 months to housebreak him and still has occasional "accidents" because he doesn't go to the back door and ring the bell some days. I have tried to let him off leash at a securely fenced dog park but that was a big mistake. He shot off and started sniffing like crazy. I have almost no hope. Any suggestions?

my dog always tells me when he has to go outside when I'm awake but when I'm sleeping he won't hold it but he also won't wake me up. Is there anyway to encourage him to try to get my attention when I'm sleeping like he does when I'm awake?

The mom, a 3 year old Labrador Retriever named Goldie, had a litter of adorable chocolate and gold Labradoodle puppies. The male is a 6 year old chocolate Poodle named Robbie and he is ADC registered but no papers as of yet after 4 months from the American Dog Club to prove his registration. Will I still be able to AKC register the Labradoodle puppies?

I went to the vet for my 4 month old Scottish Terrier to the vet for her last set of shots a couple days ago. My vet asked what I was feeding my dog so I told him I was feeding her Canidae - All Life Stages. My vet told me that Canidae is un-healthy dog food and that I should swap my precious Scottie on to Adult Large breed Science Diet formula. What is my vet going on about? I want Kara to be as healthy as possible and considering that Scotties are prone to skin problems, I want to feed her the best possible food to maintain her health. Is Candiae really bad food? Kara's breeder was feeding her dogs Solid Gold but that's more expensive and slightly less quality than Canidae. Kara is only a small pup and he wants her to be fed LARGE ADULT food! I don't understand why. He is said it's much better because it was formulated by vets to keep dogs at optimum health. I'm also feeding my 9 year old arthritic Labrador Canidae and I'm a bit wary of changing her food as this is so good for her.

My puppy is a mini dachshund. He is 11 weeks old. The only time he isnt biting my hands is when he is sleeping. He has plenty of chew toys, all different textures, he isnt chewing anything else, just my hands.

Has anyone had this happen to their dog? What is the active compontent in toad venom? What does it do to a dog? I have heard that it has halluenagenic properties and that it can cause death. Is this true? No one seems to know for sure.

I have a tiny girl dog who is now 1 yr old. I've tried to train her jusst like the books all say to do. It has not worked. She has been spayed and had all her shots. As soon as she wakes in the morning i take her out and right after she eats and every two hours during the day. I have praised her for going in the yard, so much so that my neighbors look at me strangely now. My hubby wants me to start spanking her but I don't think that is right. When I catch her in the act I scoop her up and sternly say no potty outside and take her to the yard. We have a large fenced yard and she loves to play in it. the trouble is pee and poop. She is very smart, knows sit, stay, come, get your toy. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Please help
