Hi. I run a mastiff group in my area with almost 60 members now. One of our members with a beautiful 5 month old English Mastiff puppy named Solomon was just diagnosed today with mild to moderate hip displasia. He was bought from a breeder in CA and was from champion lines with a 2 yr health guarantee. How should these owners react to this vis a vis the breeder and what should they do to support their pup? How does this happen? And how often does it happen with reputable breeders? I have a feeling my group will now panic a bit about their own pups and I have had a pang for my own. I realize hip problems go with the breed but when you pay for champion lines and research for a great breeder paying for health guarantees, it just seems tragic. Any suggestions as to how to help the owners, my group, deal with the breeder or medical options for Solomon are welcome. Is an operation for his hips worthwhile in this situation?

I have tried everything that you all suggested, and my puppy is still pooping in her crate. She is now 17 weeks old, her crate has become so small it's getting cruel. She is doing great potty training outside of the crate. We only crate her at night. I think she's pooping delibrately to get attention, she has held it all night for 2 weeks straight in the past.

When school starts, we can no longer clean up after her and give her a bath every morning. I am going to resort to making the crate larger and letting her poop in it. We'll have to clean the crate, but at least we won't have to give her a bath everyday.

Has anyone else resorted to this, and did your puppy eventually get better?

my mom fell in love with this yorkshire terrier puppy at the pet store.this is the 1st time we have even thought about getting a little dogit is the best yorkie compared to the others and i am completely in love with it. my mom already named him too. his name is gus. haha. well the thing is it is 2000 bucks. and that is a lota dough soo my dad completely flipped out when he heard the price. so we started making calls to breeders to see if we can find one that is just as good only less expensive we havnt found good ones. we went back again to see how my Great Dane would act around a little rat. they did good and my mom fell in love wit the puppy again aand she started talking to one of the employees and they know how much we want the dog soo they dropped it down too 1200 which is better but still expensive. i need a way to encourage my dad to get the cute lil pup. i would really like some help cause i really want this puppy alot. (enough that im asking you ppl)
please help
thanks

I have an American Eskimo dog who I have had for nine years. Most of the time he is playful and happy but it seems whenever I approach him his ears flatten and his tail goes between his legs. He's never barked growled or bit me and I have never hit, been rough or even really raised me voice at him. He will cuddle with me and play with me but he always seems a little submissive and nervous. I know I'm supposed to be the "alpha" in the "pack" or whatever, but it makes me sad to think he doesn't trust me or he is afraid or doesn't like me or something. Can some one who understands dog behavior help me understand?

Okay. My dog will sit, stay, laydown, rollover, jump threw hoops, and a gazillian other tricks. She takes regular walks with me next to my side and rides next to my bike everyday. She. just. won't. respect. me!! I've watched the Dog Whisperer constantly, I've practically memorized how he does everything. I try it myself but no matter what I do she will listen to my dad over me. She won't come if she's busy sniffing something, she won't sit when I tell her to if she is fixated on something else. So she reallys gets on my nerves and I've become obsessive over being her alpha. Ive tried to be nice and award her for the good things she does and correct her for the bad. No matter what I do she won't listen. I wonder if im doing something wrong? I walk threw doorways first, I make her sit and stay for her food. I do everything right but she still won't listen. I think she hates me now because im always telling her to do things and I get frusterated and yell and sometimes smack her. Help plz!

I have 2 small kids (6 months old and 4 yrs old) and am trying to find a good furry kid to add to the brood. The local lab rescue called and has a 5 yr old female yellow lab who they say is very laid back and shows no signs of aggressions. What do you think? What are our chances of bringing her into our home and all of the kids, skin and furry, getting along well together? Just curious since we're adoping an adult and not a pup - what are people's experience with adult dogs and children?

he's sick with bacterial infection? Would you let him rest until he gets better and start walking him again? Better as in after he's done taking all of his recommended doses of medicine from the vet.

If so, what did you name him or her and how old are they? I find myself being drawn to all the cute dogs around here, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to get to know them a little.... lol

Do you believe that a dog that has OFA Excellent rated hips will have more restricted movement than a dog rated OFA Fair?
In some smaller breeds like mine the hips are not as crucial to the well being of the dog. A Corgi can have mild hip dysplasia and show no symptoms. Would you breed a Corgi with a OFA Borderline rating? I am contemplating this now. If I do breed her I would check all her puppies hips to see what she throws.

You may answer to all or any of the questions.

My mother is finally letting me get an indoor puppy but it can shed alot. So, she said either a chihuahua, dashound or yorkie. I need some information from current or former owners of the above breeds such as shedding, whether the bark alot or not, and if they are overall good dogs.

during the month i couldnt care for it because of my living situation. She knew i would come back to get my dog, but i feel somewhat bad for asking for my dog back.
I've had the dog for almost a year and i was afraid she would get close, my dog is a chihuahua and he is very sweet and loving.
My daughter wants the dog back too. She is seven.
Would I get more sympathy and understanding if i told her my daughter wants the dog back?
I should offer some compensation of course for her trouble.
How can i break the news to her, that it's time i get my doggy back?
