I am taking lessons on how to train assestance dogs for the handicaped.

My question is how do I find a responsible breeder? I want to find Golden Retrivers, German Shepherds and Labs?

Are there any other breed that would make good assestence dogs?

I know not to buy off the internet or newspapers. I want to know the puppy I buy to train was tooken care of at the breeders home.

How do I find breed rescues?

i am having NO luck with my search, and this seems very odd, as this is the principle treatment for dogs with epilepsy/seizure disorder, and i believe it has been for a long time. the vet price is reasonable but should be cheaper from an online source one would think.

Ok so heres my story. My 8 year old maltese had 4 seizures today (2 in the morning and 2 consecutively later within the day) now, about 6 years ago she had her first seizure and ever since then she showed no more signs of epilpesy until now. She was taken to the vet and given a prescription of phenoarbital but she still had a few fits after takeing it. Now my question is how she ever goin to "get out of it" whenever she seizured she'd become extremly disorientated, walking in circles continously, bumping into things and unresponsive to my presense and she'd never recover fully enough until her next one and its the rinse, repeat, cycle process all over again. Im not sure what im going to do i dont know when the medication will take effect.

So earlier I asked a question about my puppy. Now I think I've pinpointed the real issue. I really do not think that 8 hours in a crate is the way to go. Bedtime I can see being in a crate, but all day in a crate seems psychologically damaging for a puppy. It is not likely that some one can come home and let her out every day. will the kitchen suffice for now until she is old enough? She will get plenty of exercise in the evening and morning after she gets the rest of her vaccinations in approx. two weeks if I am not mistaken.

it goes something like this __and when we pass away you will cross over a bridge and find your beloved friend there waiting for you,my vet in florida sent me a sympathy card with this little poem in it when my guinea pig died,if you get the chance read it,it will make you cry,as it has a lot of meaning to it,it may be called over the rainbow bridge.

I always thought all breeds of dogs had whiskers. Somebody recently told me that some breeds do not, does anyone know if this is true? The only dogs I've seen without whiskers were ones that had them shaved off.

I have a boston terrier who is 2 months old and he bites all the time! He doesn't chew up furniture or clothes, he just plays too rough. We popped him on the nose (gently) and said "no" in a stern voice, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

We think our larger female dog might be pregnant by our tiny male dog. We were told the small dag was fixed before we got him, but found out too late that he hadn't been. She's lactating and has become some what cranky. Since the daddy is a small breed, we don't expect her to get very big. Could this be a pseudo pregnancy? I was pregnant for about 3 months and misscarried. Right after I came home from the hospital is when she started lactating. Yes I know I should have had her fixed so please don't post answers telling me something I all ready know. I got both my dogs from people who didn't want them or didn't have time to care for them. We know for a fact that she couldn't haven been gotten by any neighboring dogs due to the fact she's never outside without a leash. We would have had her fixed by now but I'm diabetic and in and out of the hospital and somehow manage to miss the chances to get her fixed.

i recently got a puppy and she is beautiful, but they gave her to me as a yorkie 3 weeks ago when i got her i thought she did look like a yorkie just that she is still little and she might change her color as she gets older, but i see no change in her at all. so my question is the following. what kind of dog does she look like?
here is a pic of her.

Hi yall. So im looking at get a small dog in about a year for my birthday like i got my one got when i turned 11. I would like to know what breeds you would recomd? They CAN NOT NOT NOT!!!!! Be poodles or Chwawas(cant spell AH!) Or my mom would kill me. (I need a she)She'll be an inside dog because i already have 3 inside/out pets(thats teh limit in my subdiviosin)
I would like to take her on trips with me. I already have a Large 120 or so pound dog called Starr. Starr is a rotwiler/dobermend mix. And if i can get her from the pound thell pay one of the clincs here for her spaying. And its not the one my fam knows and trust really much like the other one we use(heck they know us). But last time i got an animal from the ound was my 2(or 3(i forget)) Kitten named Dippy and they didnt sew her up right and she was leaking oozey discharge all over the house for a week.

So what would you recommend? Oh and shell have to be "fed" to my moms cat. Dont ask. Scooter wont eat her. (cont'd)

My dog has about a 3 x 3 inch bright red hotspot behind her ear where she's been 'kicking' it.

What is the best way to treat this? We've been putting vaseline on it since we found it just a few hours ago.
