i would like to hear from people who have experenced with these breeds and soem fors and againsts on all of the breeds.

i also really like golden retriever x yellow labradors since they

1. are healthier than pure breeds
2. have a mutts charm
3. tend to be very cute

but however, there don't tend to be any breeders in hemel hempstead (where i live) in fact, there don't tend to be ANY breeders!

also, another question. if you wanted to breed puggles, labradoodles, or any hybrid dog, would you?

1. Get two pure breed dogs (example, to make labradoodles the pure breeds would be a poodle and labrador) to make labradoodle puppies

2. or would you get two labradoodles?

3. or any?

Anyone have any experience with this device?
We have a Rottweiler that barks non-stop at a donkey that is in a pasture next to him. It's past the point of annoying...It's become an obsession and it's ridiculous.
We provide him with plenty of exercise, toys and chews galore as well as having another Rott as a companion.
There is no reason, other than obsessive barking that this dog is doing this...
Do these collars work or would I be wasting my $$?

My rottweiler had knee surgery a year and a half ago. She did very well from the surgery. (Her condition is degenerative). The vet told me there was an 80% chance her other knee would go within a year and unfortunately it did. My Bernese Mountain Dog 8 months after my Rottweilers surgery decided to jump over a fence chasing a wild turkey and blew out her knee thus needing the same surgery. We had a rough year and a half. Rehab for this surgery is approx. 8 months. We have spent over 8,000.00 so far on both dog in less than two years. I have heard mixed reviews on doing the surgery or not doing the surgery. Financially it is two difficult for us go for another 3,500.00. Is there anyone out there that has a LARGE breed dog that decided not to do the surgery? And if so how is the dog doing?

My beloved doggie died unexpectedly 2 days ago; the day before my birthday. It hit me very hard. He was 10, but he had some good years left in if it weren't for his undetected problem.
My question is this: do you believe that there is a Dog Heaven, so to speak? Where do animals go after they die? Same place as us or not? Any opinions...curious in my grief.

wolves? jackles? coyotes? or the mixture of all of them?
i believe that its wolves or possibly the mixture of all of them. they're all capable of producing offsprings, so the chromosomes all work out, right? anyways, selective breeding came from thousands and thousands of years. i think its quite possible that dogs came from wolves..

i read somewhere that whippets should never be let off it's leash in an open area. is that true? if so, why? if the owner lets it off it's leash, will it run away from it's owner? if they run away will they be smart enough to return?

My family and i recently purchased 4 dogs from a local breeder. we've had them about 3 1/2 months. within these last months the puppies have chewed through my carpet, i had to pull up the carpet, then they chewed through the tile underneath the carpet, they use my room as their personal bathroom. we have started housebreaking them, but have been unsuccessful sofar. to help with the training we purchased portable crates. they go all night long without soiling themselves, but when i let them out(after i walk them) and feed them, and i let them roam my room. they relieve themselve in my room, which has caused a horrid smell throughout my home. they don't have a way of telling us when they have to potty. i have successfully trained a dog before. he is able to roam my entire home and can tell us when he has to go. but my puppies won't give us a signal. i don't want to have to sell them/ give them away. but i have no other ideas on how to control them. please HELP!.

Which is 90 percent of the people here.

Heres a question. So many of you get in a fit when someone is to buy from a backyard breeder, you say "get from a reputable breeder, or get one from the shelter they need homes"

Besides the obvious facts like health issues and stuff why do you discourage so much from buying from Byb's. Your not going to be able to stop bybing. Don't these pup's need homes to? If these pups dont go to a good home guess what happens, they end up in the very place you say to get a dog from. The shelter...I would venture to say most pure bred dogs in shelters are from back yard breeders. What's the difference in getting one as a pup or waiting untill it's in the pound? I would much rather take in a byb dog knowing I was going to care for it..then some ahole getting it...not liking something about it and dumping it off.

I think some of this mentality comes from a smugness..that having the 1500 dollar dog makes you look like high society. Im against byb by the way.

There are people who claim that those of us telling people to spay and neuter are wrong so if you think it is ok for anyone who owns dogs to breed and to do it without knowledge where are your answers when there is a problem with the BYB who took your advice?
Why encourage breeding if you are not going to help when there is a problem?
