All we know is that she is part Lab. We guessed she may be part Chow because her tongue is partly black/blue, or maybe husky because her fur is thicker at her neck and she has a tail that curves upward when excited. Her tail has a mix of white and silver 3 inch hairs along with the black coat. By the way, she has never needed or had a trim and her fur is way softer than a Lab's.

I have a almost 5 month old yorkie/toy fox terrier. I know that being a pup she is still using her teeth to explore, but lately she's just gone up to people we've had over and just nipped their hands and doesn't stop even after we've said "NO BITE" and tried many techniques to try and teach her biting is wrong. We've tried the holding the mouth shut and saying "no bite", the "OWWW" technique, the standing up and leaving the room, the tap on the head and "no bite" (which I hate doing), even the finger holding down the tongue. None of them seem to work so is it ok/humane to get her a muzzle especially for when company is over cause it has gotten to the point where people don't like to come visit cause they know the pup will get nippy. She also likes to just nip me all the time, I have many cuts and teeth marks on my hands from nips. Is it ok to use a muzzle to try and teach her not to bite? What kind work the best and how long should I use it? Or are there other no bite techniques?

In my time spent working with German Shepherds, I've noticed that the most unhealthy dogs are those bred specically for conformation. If the so called, "slant-backs" of American show lines and "banana backs" of German show lines have been produced in pursuit of greater conformation, how can any rational person still defend this as a suitible goal for breeding?

What is the value in a breed standard if it produces dogs that can't work due to a lack of drives and physical health? Why value form over function, and isn't that backwards?

I'm sure that many disagree with me, so please state your case and discuss...

...and don't give me some lame argument about how producing the correct angles and so forth will produce dogs suitible for a given task. That may sound good in theory, but it has proven to be pure B.S. in practice.

morally and/or legally?

i took my puppy to the vet yesterday because he had a reaction to his vaccines, and while i was waiting to pick him up after work, a man was picking up his female dog who had just been spayed.

the vet tech whispered to him, and yes, she was pregnant, as you suspected, so she needs to take an antibiotic.

i think it affected me a little.. how sad? i mean.. the puppies may have ended up euthanized anyways because of the unwanted pet population.. but it seemed so awful to me..

and the mother dog, wouldn't this affect her hormones? wouldn't she have instinctively known she was pregnant?

any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated

My pit bull attacked my land lords dog last night. He actually tore down the fence to get to him and my husband had to choke him to get him to let go of the other dog. He never shows aggression towards humans, only to other dogs and we have another dog which is a Chihuahua and I'm scared he might do this to him. We are exploring the possibility of giving him up. Do you think we should put him to sleep or adopt him to someone else? I would hate to adopt him out and he does something bad because then that person will have to pay. But his behavior is becoming a liability for me, I would hate for him to kill another animal or a person. What do you think?

I have both a female and male German Shepherd I have bred them both once before and had no bother we worked out the dates and she had them when we expected her to.

This time we worked her dates out to be that she was due on the 29 June but there is still no signs of her having them yet.

She has been heavily licking herself for the past 3 to 4 days with heavy breathing and she is always walking around and not settelling anywhere.shes been feeling sorry for herself and her stomach is really hard.we saw a yellow kind of browny mark on her covers and we dont know if that is discharge.But we have noticed that she has been tensing her stomach up which she started doing today.

Hi. I've just bought home a 7 week old Jack Russell and having read up on feeding puppies many sources say to "soak the dry puppy food" - but none of the say exactly how to do this.
Do I soak it in water (warm?cold?), How much liquid do I soak it in? How long do I soak it for?
If anyone could give me any advice, it would be most appreciated.

I have Stello D' Oro daylilies by my front door. My mini dachshund loves to grab the deadheads that have fallen to the ground and eat them. It is nearly impossible to always keep him away or to get them all picked up continually. Will they hurt him in any way?

I got the runt of the litter because her markings are soo perfect but she wasn't much smaller than the other pups. Both of her parents were about 30 lbs, and on the bigger side for bostons. Angel is 9 months and only weighs 12 lbs. She looks like a chihuahua! She does not have worms, and I feed her more than I am supposed to but shes like a miniature boston. Does this have anything to do with her being the runt?

1: My adult Shih Tzu gets the hiccups every few months... why? What causes hiccups in dogs?

2: Every couple of months Alfie pukes why?

3: Alfie is way way way too big for a Shih Tzu... but we got him off a breeder, he cost a lot AND he has pedigree papers... But I know someone that has a Shih Tzu and shes says that her Pip is big for a Shih Tzu... but Alfie is.... MASSIVE!
he was about the right size when we bought him at a bit over 12 weeks... but then he grew and grew and grew!!!

Wait... I'll just measure him...

He is 27 inches long,
13 inches high &
4 inches wide
He is a black and white (Neutered) Pedigree Shih Tzu.

My puppy has started scooting his rear on the carpet. I know this is a sign that his anal glands need to be expressed, but I can't seem to master it. I really don't want to pay a vet bill for something that I know can be done easily at home. I'm watching it to make sure they don't swell too badly and if they do I will take him in. I was just wondering if any of you were experienced at this and could give me some pointers.

He is 8 months old, and he has been puking this way for about 2 months, but just recently changed his eating habits. We have tried 4 different types of food, but he still doesn't eat much. He will go sometimes a day and a half without eating. He only drinks maybe 1/2 cup of water a day now. Is it normal for puppies to do this?

What could be causing the itchiness?
It nips so hard and has caused some drop of fur. I can see a small patch of baldness. I am worry it might get worse. How can I stop it from nipping further?
