Dogs - August 2007

I HAVE A 15 WEEK OLD LAB PUPPY WHO ALWAYS POOS OUTSIDE AND WEES OUTSIDE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME APART FROM THE ODD ACCIDENT WHICH IS NEARLY ALWAYS BECAUSE HE MISSED THE NEWSPAPER OR WE DIDN'T LET HIM OUT IN TIME!
HE SLEEPS IN HIS CRATE AT NIGHT AND I WAS TOLD TO PUT HALF BLANKET HALF PAPER ON THE CRATE FLOOR SO HE COULD TOILET IN THE NIGHT.AT WHAT POINT SHOULD I TAKE AWAY THE PAPER SO THAT HE LEARNS TO BE DRY AT NIGHT AND GO WHEN I GET HIM OUT IN THE MORNING?IV'E NOT HAD A PUPPY SINCE I WAS LITTLE-IT'S LIKE TRAINING A TODDLER TO USE THE TOILET!!!

When I was growing up, my uncle Jack (r.i.p.) had a 'King Dobermann' named Rommel. He was red with a white blaze on his chest and as big as a Great Dane. He was from AKC National Grand Champion Bloodlines, so he was really well bred. I have been searching for one for a long time now, but can't find any for sale. I heard about one litter of them in Missouri, but it didn't check out; they were nothing more than big red dobes. I want a purebred King Doberman, does anone know where I can find one?

He is a chocolate lab and has a top coat which makes him look like someone has tried to frost his hair, so I started brushing him with a scotts dog brush every morning. I would have thought he would have shedded in the spring, not in August. What can I do besides brush him out every day to get this over with? I have big globs of dog hair all over the yard now.

My female Rottweiler has had two false pregnancys in a row & I have used the same stud for both breedings & both times ended in a false pregnancy. If Abby comes into heat does this mean that she is fertile & cabable of haveing a litter or could it be that her hormones are causeing her to comeinto heat even though she is infertile?

My husband and she go for long walks every day, sometimes more than once. Is this doing any harm to her joints or anything else? They've been doing this for about a half a year will no obvious problem thus far. She walks very well on a leash and if they get to a field that is safe for her, he may let her run. Still workign on that "come command" though.

My dog has been excessively licking his paws, it is very annoying to me and so I know it has to be annoying to him too. I bought that bitter tasting spray, but it only helps until it dries up and I've bought all kinds of anti-itch sprays, but nothing seems to be working! It started a couple of summers ago, I've taken him to the vet and she said that he has allergies and that there wasn't much that she could do for him. She recommended me to a veterinary dermatoligist, however I've never taken him because it would cost me an arm and a leg. Is anyone else having this problem? I've been searching on the internet for some remedies to help him, I've read about a product called Be Well and also some tablets on allergicpet.com. Has anyone used either of these products on their dogs? Does it help? If not, what are you doing to help your dog? Please help!!

Have the 3month old puppy have shorter nap so he'd sleep longer at night when everyone's in bed or let him sleep all he wants? If he does he's full of energy later at night.

Hi Guys, occasionally i use cheese treats when training my Bullmastiff. Just of late he has had loose pooos on and off, vet says he seems healthy. What are your thoughts on this please? ps: he would only get 6-8 1/4 inch squares in any one day and not every day. We feed him on Hill Science Large breed puppy and sometimes mix teeny bit of chicken with his dried food and he has tripe sticks as a treat... never ever table scraps... he is only 6 months. Thanks guys

He says it loves the feeling of being vacumed. Is it healthy? My dad is quite stubborn. I need to know how to stop him from doing that.

Our five month old boxer just died with parvo. 15days after his last shot. We kept him at the vet for 2 nights he then lost his battle.Well now we have a 3month old lab/pit that has no shots. He is our nephew dog .They believe that the shots make him more prone to getting sick.Well 3 days later he is showing signs of parvo. how do we treat him at home?does parvaid work? Do vets or pets mart sell it? We are using honey on his gums and making him some herbal tea with peppermint and spearmint ,garlic, chamomile and echinacea.It is helping in stabilize the nausea. We are giving him oak water instead of pedialyte and vitamin c. A friend gave us this recipe. it seems to be working. You can't tellhe is sick except that he sleeps a lot . We wake him every hour and give him a little fluids. Some people are born rich .We spent $600.00 And our dog still died .We can't afford to take this one to the vet.On monday we get paid and if he stays strong we'll take him them.any advice please till then

Hey everyone, I could really use some good opinions on this. I'm looking into getting another German Shepherd puppy soon and I started thinking about what food I should use this time. With my other GSD, I used Nutro Natural Choice because that's what the vet recommended, but I wasn't very impressed with it. It must have tasted terrible to her because she'd barely eat it and when I switched food, she couldn't get enough. The same thing happened with my friend's Great Dane. I've asked around and gotten mixed opinions. A vet recommended Eukanuba and a breeder told me never to use it. I don't know who to believe. So, I was just wondering what you fed your large breed puppies and/or which ones you'd recommend and why. Thanks a lot.

Ok I have a Bull Terrier male who is two years old and have just bought a female Bull Terrier who is four months old. Now the boys parents are the same as the girls grandparents so they are not brother and sister, she is a quarter sister to him. I was told that as the father of the girl is completly new blood that makes the girl once removed from the boy so I can breed them as dogs are different to humans in terms of inbreeding. Does this sound right to any dog breeders out there?

Hiya

I've been asked to dog-sit for 2 weeks by a friend of one of my babysitting clients. She wants me to stay at her house and take care of her dogs at night (they go to dog day care during the day). I'd have to be at her house from 5:45pm to 8:45am but have the days free (2 hours from home though).

She said she's happy to pay me an hourly rate so I am happy to do the job

How much should I ask for? I normally charge $15 an hour for babysitting
