Dogs - July 2007

I already have 3 other dogs and they're all small. I like to name my dogs after designers and so far, I have a mini poodle named Donatella Versace, a Jack Rusell Terrier named Marc Jacobs, and a Yorkie named Christian Dior. I bought a baby pug with regular coloring and it's a girl. I can't decide between Kate Spade and Coco Chanel. Which suits a pug better? Oh and if you want to match her temperament, shes very sweet and a bit shy.

My 5 year old golden retriever is chewing up my kids' toys at an alarming rate. This has been constant since they were little. My dog has plenty of appropriate toys of her own. If they happen to leave their toys on the floor, she will snatch it up. She also will go into their rooms to find things to chew. Help!

We have a 4 month old toy poodle. She rarely cries at anything, except when she hides her bones. She cries whilst they are in her mouth and once hid she starts running around all happy again. Anybody have any idea why she migh do this?

I have 2 dogs I rescued as pups, and have been trying to identify their breeds so I can get a better idea of any possible disposition and breed 'quirks'. Teri has a huge head, shaped like an American Pit Bull's head, and a broad chest. His coloring is like a golden lab, except for a very light dusting of black around his nose and muzzle. He has black splotches on his tongue, and dew claws on all four legs, but the ones on the hind legs dangle loosely. Out of five dogs, Teri is the only one with rear dew claws. He whines a lot, especially when crated, but when he barks or howls, he bays like a hound dog. He has a very sweet, shy, gentle and loving disposition, even towards the two cats and other dogs (most of the time), and usually won't fight back too hard when Ralph attacks him (both have been neutered), but today a scuffle turned more serious and left Ralph limping, with a sore, bleeding foreleg, now swollen at the knee joint. Ralph also drew blood, but it doesn't look as serious.

I am wanting to buy Class A or ACU outfits for my dog. I am going to enter him into some contests for the Lions club and wanted him to wear these b/c my man is in the army. I thought it would be really cute to get a dog costume of my mans Class A's and then have him buy some of his awards so I could actually put them on the dog costume but I can't find any. Even online. Does anyone know of a website or anythign I could buy them? Thank you so much!!!!

Recently, my dog Skylar tore her Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). The vet said that the surgery will cost anywhere from $700 to $2,000. I'm a poor college student living off campus and I need a way to be able to afford this surgery. I simply can't neglect my puppy but I just don't know what to do. If anyone knows of a way to pay for this or a cheap legitimate place that will do the surgery, I'd greatly appriciate it. I live in spokane, washington by the way. Thank you.

My sheepdog is six and I got him as a rescue two months ago, he has next to no muscle mass on his legs and requires that someone helps him to get up from laying down, I had him x-rayed at the vet and they said he has arthritis in his back, he weighs 77# but should weigh more like 90+#, he also leaks pee now and again, what could be wrong with him ? or is the problem arthritis, would that cause the loss of muscle ?

My dog has ALWAYS been a picky eater.. however, for the last week or so, she's been progressively eating less. For the last 3 or so days, she hasn't really wanted to eat almost anything. She eats a bit of her food, and then leaves it alone. I feed her homemade food, chicken or beef with brown rice or potato. For the last 3 days, it's been the beef. She also gets a pet vitamin and a small spoonful of yogurt with it, and sometimes some carrots, but not lately. Anywho, she doesn't eat the beef at all, very little. BUT she does eat her favorite treats, and also these other treats that are not her favorite, but she will only eat if she's hungry. So.. it kind of seems like she doesn't want to eat the beef. he gobbles down the 2 other treats.. although I haven't given her any today, as I want her to eat her food instead. Anyway, I'll be taking her to the vet this week, but just wanting your feedback.. she generally eats one or 2 times a day, and has often not eaten for a whole day..

We just got a two-year old Rat terrier, and he doesn't like going outside. We'll put him out there while we run to the store, and he'll whine and scratch at the screen door to be let back in.

Are there any good suggestions to train him to be better outside? Any good discipline techniques?

I, myself, have tried many different foods for my two boxers have owned, pedigree, science diet, Nature's Choice (large breed) just to name a few. I now feed my one boxer I have now Royal Canin Large breed puppy32 and have felt like this is the best for them. I later plan on switching my boxer to Royal Canin BOXER food after she's 15 months as directed on the "boxer" food label. I'm just curious what foods do you guys perfer for your dogs? (boxers preferrably but other large breeds are welcome)

We have a 3 month old blue heeler. We love her to pieces, but she is so hyper! She sleeps in her kennel at night, but during the day she's out running around our property (we have several acres) and playing with our kids. She absolutely attacks our 2 year old when she sees him (playfully, of course). She just jumps up on him and licks him till he falls down. I know she's still young and I hope she will calm down as she gets older, But does anyone have any advice on what would be good for her to help her be calmer and still happy? Her mama is a great dog and she has never been hyper like this. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

I feel so guilty that I purchased my Pekingese from a petstore. I can't stop thinking about it. My mom is a show breeder of boxers so she always raised me to NOT get a puppy from a petstore. I just thought by chance my puppy didn't come from a puppy mill, even though I really didn't believe that. After getting his AKC papers I quickly realized that he is for sure from a puppy mill. He was sold to the petstore by the Hunte Corporaton which is a broker for puppy mill puppies. They buy them from the puppy mills and then clean them up and give them vaccinations, then they are sold to petstores. Also, my dog's mother was only 9 months old at the time of his birth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't believe I was so ignorant and stupid, to ever buy from a pet store. I love my new dog more than anything. I just keep thinking how my money helped support this horrible industry. I just want to make other people aware of this and please don't buy from a pe tstore. I knew better, and did it anyway.
