"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive."
-PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

"I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance."

-Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

In a nutshell, I'm looking to adopt to my suburb apartment life a very sociable, trainable and sporty adolescent puppy, that could in the future stay alone during normal workhours. The ideal would be a spirited companion.
As a novice in the matter, despite my naturally good attitude I not only spend a lot of time in shelters trying to get a feel of what I'm looking for, but also consult a lot and research breeds. Problem is, I've so far disqualified such wonderful dogs as an Aussie Shepherd mix (would be miserable jobless) and a Saluki mix (can't be trusted in the city and would be miserable always on-leash), but also haven't connected with natural choices such as wolfdog and German Shepherd mixes (and not really sure why). I'm also not fond of pitbulls, for example.

Am I right in thinking this only leaves some herding dogs (i.e. Collie) and Lab mixes? Canaan, perhaps?

Anything I might be overlooking?

Insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My puppy comes in from outside with little red bumps on her belly. She doesn't itch them or lick them, but they are risen red lumps. They bleed and today I looked at her belly again and noticed a small insect biting her. It was not a flea because it had wings. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? She is on flea prevention and has not changed food so I can't imagine it being fleas or a food allergy.

I have a 6 month old Dachshund puppy. When I am gone at work my boyfriends mom insists on taking her outside. Malibu does not like to go out because its comfortable in the air conditioning. I have asked her not to take her out and she says that my puppy is spoiled. There have been two times when I got home and my Malibu was walking funny and stumbling around. Her eyes look watery. I have put a note on her bedroom door asking to let her sleep. I cant really say much more to my boyfriends mom because I dont want her to get defensive. I am also worried about my little girl. Has anyone had a bad experience with their puppy outside? Is there a certain length of time a puppy should be outside in the hot weather? Maybe I am over reacting?

After reading information and talking to my vet about breeding my dog, I learned that a dog is fertile after she stops bleeding. However, I also heard that a dog is only receptive to a male when she is fertile. Now my dog is still bleeding slightly and yet she has been receptive to a male twice now. Is it possible that she is fertile even though she has not stopped bleeding completely?

I have a 2 year old Husky/German Sheperd mix male dog. He eats his food in a bowl. However, this morning, he took the bowl of food, to the stairs, and started eating while sitting on the stairs. I did not find that appropriate, and i wanted to change the position of the bowl by picking it up and keeping it in a secure location, because the bowl was likely to fall down on stairs. However, just when i picked up the bowl while my dog was eating, the dog VIOLENTLY BIT my hand. I got deep cuts, and required stitches on my wrists. How and why on earth did my pet behave so cruelly? I have been raising him for 2 years, and feel utterly let down because of this. He was well trained. did our training fall short somewhere?

He is on a good quality food but just dosnt seem to have an appetite, vet cant see anything wrong with him. He only gets treats or chews for training and sometimes turns them down. He could just be bored with the same food but dont want to create a fussy eater. He just wont eat any of his dinner other than green tripe.

It killed a cat a few months ago. It tried to kill a little dog when the owner allowed it to wandre onto our land (fortunately the little dog survived - nearly £1000 later) and it has killed and eaten numerous hedgehogs.
