Dogs - July 2007

We owned a labrador, who died of old age at 14 a couple years ago. So we have experience with medium/big dogs.
My parents would like a small/medium dog, but i would like a larger one that i can play with and "wrestle" with.
We want a dog that dosent shed or bark too much. And that enjoys being in the water ( i know i depends on the specific dog, but a breed that usually enjoys it).
I would really like a big dog in a small dogs body too. >_<

I really want one but what is this breed like and will it get on with a newfoundland, Italian spinone or weimeraner??

Do they like water? Climbing? fetch??

I have two of the exact same dogs, puggles, 4 years old and 3 years old. The 3 year old must have something wrong with him. He will just not learn. He has been completely potty trained for over two years now but he still is having accidents. He doesn't have peeing accidents. He poops in the house. This morning I took him out and he went pee and poo outside. We came inside and I ran upstairs to get something and there was poop in two spots. I don't understand why he can't learn to go to the door or hold it for a couple of minutes. He had just went outside! I am so frustrated with him. I have to look at his butt and I can tell if he has to go potty but if I don't rush him outside at that moment he will poo in the house. It is like he has no control back there. Is that possible? Is there medicine for this? I am loosing my patience with him.

Hey Everyone.
In two weeks me and my family are going to go to san diego for a week. We are planning to bring our dog too. He is a toy poodle at age 5.
On recent trips we would put him at a kennel/doggy daycare type of place. We've been doing that pretty much since he was a pup whenever we went on trips. But ever since he was 2 he would have diahria for a while after we picked him up from the kennel. We figured it was stress because there was no one to play with him.
So now we are bringing him. Theres one problem. Hes a real barker and we got him a bark collar. But I dont want to keep it on him all day for 11 hours while we are gone doing stuff in san diego. Does anyone have any ideas?
I would appreciate so so much. This dog is my baby and i really want to bring him. He'll have alot of fun too, taking walks in parks and beaches.
Thanx.

I have a 2pound Yorkie. She is very tiny. She always has had a problem with weezing and gasping for air when she gets reall excited, but i figured it was becuase her lungs we really small. Last night she woke up at 3:30 in the mroning and couldnt stop sneezing. I was like a non-stop continuious sneezing and weezing. I got her u[p and made her walk around the house and drink some water, but it contiued for about an hour. I felt bad for her because i really couldnt do anything to make it stop. Is theie anything ic ould do to help her wheezing and sneezing?

What should I expect to get every year for vaccinations, is it just heartworm and rabies? How much should it cost, also what about pet vitamins, my roommate gets a bottle in the mail from 1800petmeds.

My two-month old terrier pup has this problem where sometimes he gets stiff all of a sudden and just shakes. When this happens, he can only lie on his side and is unable to move. Then his four limbs shake. One time while this happened he wet himself. He didn't used to be like this. Now lately. he can't even walk properly. He'll take a few steps then fall as if he is dizzy and the ground is moving. What is causing this and how can I help him??

Thanks.

Does anyone know what something like this will cost? We don't anticipate that there is anything wrong with the pup (fingers crossed) but what do vets charge? also, (for the future), does anyone know costs for neutering (male), or just general checkups in the future once it is fully grown? Thanks.

ok
my dog is a border collie x kelpie
8 years old
very cute
anyway,
i just noticed a few days ago that he is starting to bit his nails.
i've cut his nails, but he still keeps chewing on them and sometimes the skin around it splits and starts to bleed.
What can i do to stop him from doing that?
and what age do border collies/kelpies live up to?

My blue heeler delivered a litter of 6 healthy pups on 7/7. The puppies are all healthy and thriving.

Today was the first day I didn't stay with the dog and puppies all day, and a few minutes ago I came into the living room and found 2 puddles of vomit, poop in one spot and diarrhea (big puddle) in another spot. There's also mess on the couch in three spots; they're orangey-yellow, not brown like the diarrhea or yellow like the vomit.

This is totally out of character for her, and she was fine yesterday. She ate all her food when I fed her, she's had plenty of water, and is not acting sluggish.

Is it normal for a dog to get sick like this a few days after delivering, and to act oddly? It's 5:20 in the morning so I can't get her to the vet for several hours, and I don't know if I should separate her from the puppies long enough to take her in even when they open.

I spent 45 minutes looking for help online, nothing. I don't know what to think or do.

Help!

A few months ago my fiances mom was having trouble with her boyfriend, they were breaking up and she thought he was being mean to one of her dogs, so we brought him to our house for a few weeks, well when we took him back, her pit bull didnt want the dog back in the house, they fought REALLY bad, like bloody bad, so we decided to keep him, he is a really good dog except he pees EVERYWHERE and poops everywhere, I dont know what to do! I have tried rubbing his nose in it and sticking him outside, its just not working! My fiances mom use to put papers on the floor for him but i dont really want to do that, i could put them in the basement but I would really rather not, my other 2 dogs are potty trained and i dont want them going on the paper too. I cant get rid of him so that is not an option, I just need some way to potty train him. Any ideas? Please help!!!

I know with cats, that the kittens shouldn't leave until 12 weeks old, to learn social skills from the parent. But what about dogs? Some one has told me it's 8 weeks old, someone else has told me 6. Who's right?

Hello, I would like to train my Labrador to show....Does anyone know of any wonderful websites or books on training a lab to show. I know some people who show labs have trainers that work with the dog. Is this neccary or do some people train and show their own dogs. Any information on showing labs would be great. Thanks. Cheryl

My poodle puppy was groomed today. This was like or 4 or fifth time there. Well I didn't notice it at first but I did just now she has a nick under her arm. Its not big but its good size and a little deep. It looks a little raw. There are also two bumps under her other arm. Should I be worried? No one ever said anything to me so should I call them. She is a hyper dog and I know they have had a little trouble grooming her in the past. What should I do?

Pit Bulls R One Of The Only Breeds Bred To Be NON HUMAN Aggressive....
I Have Read The Answers And Bunny And A Few Others R Wrong.... Dogs Do Not Forget And So Whatever They Have Done To The Dog Present And Past Will Not Be Forgotten.... If U Provoke A Dog It Will React To It. Humans Kill What They Fear. The Dog Was Provoked Or Protecting Himself Or His Owner. I Dont Agree
