Dogs - September 2007

I just brought a new puppy home yesterday,shes 9 weeks old and a german shepherd/labrador cross.
So far ive let her in the garden and i walked her down to my sons school which is like 2 mins away but i dont wanna take her out until shes had her jabs and im not sure what age they are meant to have them at.
someone this morning told me that they arent essential either, i always just assumed they were as they need protectng beore they can associate with other dogs? or was i misinformed??
also is it normal for a pup whose just been seperated from her parents and siblings to have the runs?? she messed ALLLL over the dining room last nite i was mortified lol!!
she whines alot too but m gonna let her sleep with a clock tonite to see if that calms her down
any advise would be lovely
thanks very much in advance

ive posted a few questions as to breed/s of my new puppy. there has been a quite disparate reponse over the last month or so, a few(most) saying he is a jack russell, pit etc . he is now 18 pounds and 3.5 mths old. he has grown. surely he is not a JRT, he is too big. vet isnt sure about this.experts,dog lovers out there let me know what u think. just curious and its a bit of fun watching your puppy grow up. i would have thought that he will at least double in size when fully grown. he is dearly loved.see some new updated pictures here at:

So my dog has this treat ball and we put treats in it. STUPID of me because I didn't check the inside of the treat ball on a regular basis. My dog ate about 2 pieces of treat and I noticed that it didn't look right..it was moldy!!!
-He's active, he was playing, running around.
-Vomited once...it was the treat that he just ate mixed with whitish substance with a phlegm consistency. Has not vomited since then.
-Feces was normal in the morning. No diarrhea..so far..
-No Neurological signs...eyes normal, not hypersalivating, gait is normal.

I;m keeping an eye out for him right now, I'm not sure if I should bring him to the emergency hosp. since I haven't witnessed any symptoms that patients get when they get toxicity.


Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.

My Chihuahua is 8 mo's old now. He was completely potty trained then we moved. We have been here about 2 wks and this didn't start till about a week ago and its getting WORSE...He pee's outside but then he'll come in the house two seconds later wet spot on the floor. He quit doing it for a couple days but he's back at it. He pee'd on the floor last night twice and poo'd!! Then this afternoon I took him out and he pee'd then I let him in and I started cleaning I sit down and he pee'd on the COUCH!! He sleeps on the couch a lot so this I do not understand I thought dogs never pee where they sleep. Otherwise he acts fine...What should I do? I don't think my boyfriend is going to take much more of this and I CAN'T loose my dog I love him too much. HELP...Why do you think he's doing this...He is nuetered.

I'm considering buying a little white female pom, but first I need to know the good, the bad and the ugly about pomeranians. Are they like chihuahuas in their temperament? Are they high-maintenance? Why do you love... or hate... poms?

1. I have learned more than I expected about breeding: the good and the bad.

2. I learned that although I was under the impression that most dog owners were a calm, loving group, it's like anything else. We are prone to have very strong feelings about subjects that are important to us.

3. I have learned that I'm a really laid back guy, but I am not always patient when it comes to what I feel is appropriate/inappropriate dog ownership.

I heard yesterday in England that owners of a 150lb beagle were fined thousands of dollars for animal cruelty because they let their dog get so fat. Is this a good idea? Should we do that here? I think so.

Should dog shows be banned? They only look at conformation and not health. They also dont judge for performance of the dogs ability for what it was bred for! The best labs are the best water bird retrievers not how good its nose LOOKS! Likewise, the best small companion dogs should be judged on Health, friendliness and loyalty, not the perfect nose or ears for the breed! SHould the AKC and dog shows be banned? As far as I can tell they are ruining the breeds!

How much exercise does a 6 yr old Shih Tzu need? I play "catch" with her every nite for about 10 minutes. Is that sufficient? I take her to work with me every day but all she does is sleep and wait for me to get finished.Is 10 minutes enough if I do it every night?

Some breeders treat dogs humanely but all breeders have to struggle with the negative connotation involving their line of work. I want to become a breeder and I know I would be humane to my dogs and puppies but I don't know how to announce to people that I want to be breeder without getting attitude or scowled faces. I don't know how to deal with the negativity.
