Dogs - August 2007

White said he does not support dogfighting and that he considers it as bad as hunting.

"His crime is, it was a dog," White said.

No, his crime was that he was funding and participating in an inhumane crime of dog fighting, as well as cruelty to animals.

Unless you eat canines, I do not see how drowning, hanging, choking or shooting a dog in cold blood is "like" hunting. Most sportsmen (Hunters, fishermen, trappers, etc) have a dog also as a companion, and is treated like part of the family.

Think first, Mr. White, prior to saying something profoundly stupid.

so heres what happened
i have a dog thats i breed pups for dog fighting with. a pitbull, if you must know. a few months ago my and my room mates thought it would be really cool if she had nipple piercings. so we gave her some "stuff" to make her sleep. well, after we pierced the nipples she began going int still out cold. luckily they all came out fine despite her being so doped up. nows where it gets tricky. these puppies need to feed, and we've pierced all of mommy's nipples. we removed them, but now she is not lactating at all. all of the pups keep competing to get milk, but there is none. 2 of them got in one little fight and their mom got scared and said your moving with your auntie and uncle in belair. i whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror. if anything i could say that this cab was rare but i thought man forget it. yo home to belair.

3 months ago a neighbor asked me to watch his female pit bull for a weekend (knowing I have 1 myself) and that Monday I realized he had moved. I've housed her and fed her and LOVED her. However, I don't have the time, energy or funds to maintain two dogs. I don't want to turn her over to the pound and I've made a few calls and there is no local rescue center for Pit bulls in my area (20109- VA). Can anyone give me some guidance?

We're going through a lot of household changes (got rid of our big dog, painting rooms, moving things around) to prepare for our first child due in a few months, and coincidentally, at the same time our dog has decided she doesn't really like to eat. Could it be that she's stressed out by all the changes?

A long time ago people started selectively breeding dogs to serve a purpose. Do you know what your dogs breed was originally designed to do?

My husband and I adopted a little beagle/dauschand mix in Feb. The shelter could only tell us that he had kennel cough, toy aggression and they found him on a major highway in Ft Worth Texas. We have had him for about 7mon now and he is the best dog! Anyway he has “possession aggression”. Anything that is his (his bed, food, toys, kennel) He gets mad if you move, touch or wash it. If you try to move his bed he growls and tries to bite. This isn’t the big problem. He is really protective. Sometimes he snaps at my husband when my husband and I are goofing off and hitting each other. Also if he does something bad (and don’t think that I am an animal abuser) he doesn’t liked to be spanked for it. For example today I caught him trying to eat food off of a plate and I spanked him for it (not hard) and he snapped and bite me. I love my dog and he is the best thing that has happened (besides my husband of course) But can anyone tell me why he would do this? (he's also very protective of kids)

I have a 3 month old puppy and an older dog of 5 years i would like to leave them together during the day but i can't because they play rough constantly. My puppy nips at my older dog and my older dog growls and wrestles the puppy they are not aggressive to each other but i am worried that if i leave them together they could get hurt. I separate them when they get too much but as soon as i turn my back they start again. Is this just because the puppy is young? i don't want her to grow up thinking it is acceptable to nip other dogs.

My neighbor recently took in a puppy that appears to be around 3-5 months old and I'm considering adopting her. She appears to have been a stray and it's not known if she has had any of her shots. Is it dangerous to give them to her twice (in case she has had them)? Is it too late to give her all of the recommended shots (is she too old)?

Thanks

Hello there! Me, my husband, and our two children would like to adopt a dog. We have a privacy fenced backyard and would prefer to keep the dog outside.

We would like a dog that is good with children, playful but not too energetic that the dog would hurt someone. Does anyone know anything about dogs that could help us? Thank you to everyone for all the help!

Our dogs have a run, our whole yard is not fenced. We are getting ready to fence the whole yard which is huge, but I need some ideas to keep him in until it is done. Everytime we think we have it fixed so he can't escape, he still does. We even took him and had him fixed, it didn't help. He scraped all the skin off his face getting out a few weeks ago. I feel so bad. The other two dogs don't do this. We even have the top of the pen covered. Please any ideas will help.

We are picking up our new puppy tonight and the puppy is only 6 weeks old. We do not want to let the dog sleep in the bed with us, so we have a wire crate that we want to use as it's home.

We want to make this transition as easy as possible for the little gal, and were wondering if it would be a good idea to sleep on the floor next to the crate for the first night....or should we just bite the bullet and sleep in our bed and deal with the yelping all night? We are going to have the crate next to the bed if we do that.

Do you think if we sleep on the floor by the dog...will that set us up for failure?

Any other tips for the first night with a new puppy would be appreciated.

Thank you

I am considering getting a pet dog. I have been studying the breeds, and taking inventory of what kind of care/attention I can give one. There are simply so many breeds that I am confused!

I know I need a breed under 25 pounds, one that will be good with other pets (4 gerbils and a hamster, that will be in cages or run about ball), and children since I someday plan to have them.

I am an active person, willing to take the dog on walks or runs, and also willing to clean up after sheds, or accidents. I do work full time, so I would not be able to be there during weekdays, but nights and weekends will be fine.

I live in a large apartment that allows smaller dogs (under 25 lbs.), and I have quite a backyard to work with, though it is not fenced (the dog will be supervised during all outdoor time).

Everything now said, what kind of dog would suit my lifestyle?

My dog is been in the hospital for the past 2 days. Is very sick with several conditions that we didn't know he had. Everytime we went for check ups they used to say he was ok that it was very common for dogs of that breed (yorkies) to have those episodes . The dog was always sick and sad. Where I live, Puerto Rico pets are not consider part of the family by society, is just not part of our culture. The country is not pet friendly period. My heart is broken because I feel that theres something that they could have done to prevent this in the past. He is a wonderful dog. I am so dissapointed with all the vets that saw him, none of them really cared. In other words you don't see here what you see in ER animal planet, vets fighting and helping the pets in need. . I heard that a lot of them rather put them to sleep and later tell that theres nothing they could do for them, is so sad. I am in my home in tears right now thinking that my baby is all alone in a hospital room, God knows how.
