I have a miniature dachshund and at first I named her Zoey. Then my whole family and I started calling her Boo for some reason. Is that a normal name? She responds to bothe Zoey and Boo so we call her both but is Boo ok?

I have a 2 year old male bull mastiff called Thor, he has a excellent pedigree, and is a fantastic looking dog. I just want to know how you go about breeding him because there are very few Bull Mastiffs where i live. Is there a site where i can post him or something like that...

Just a question, purebreds are not any better than mutts, yet people spend hundreds even thousands of dollars on dogs you buy at a pet shop when you can get free puppies from people trying to get rid of puppies all the time, or get one at a pet shelter/ pound. It just seems silly to pay money for an animal that you can get for free. In my experience mutts have less medical problems, and tend to be smarter. What are your thoughts on why people pay for dogs, I honestly can't think of a reason.

Am I a good owner.I have a rotweiler that does nothing wrong and he has shelter and is kept in a fence. Is that cruel. All my other neighbors keep their dogs on chains. Also, my neighbors dogs keep coming to my house and attacking my Affenpinscher and my Rotweiler tried to attack them. My neighbors called the dog catcher because of it. Their dogs and cats are always over at my house. ADVICE!@! their old. Am I right or am I wrong?

My husband has ordered me a puppy. my old dog died two weeks ago. i know he means well but i dont know if i want it. he has ordered it as a surprise so we had not discussed it. The problem is that things are different to when we had our old dog. when she was a pup i was at home but i now work full time. My husband only works 5 mins away from home and he says he will come home at lunch time to feed it and let it out for toilet. However i stil feel this is cruel am i right? what should i do. we still have a chance to tell breeder we have changed our minds but i feel mean as it was a gift ????? The dog would be left 8.30 am - 5pm and be seen for about 20 minutes at lunch time. what do you think?

And in your experience are they hard dogs to train?
I think it seems like a lovely dog to have because I just think they're gorgeous dogs, and I read up about them and they seem like a perfect dog..
In your own experience what were the main upsides and downsides with having them?
Thanks!!!


Oh and what are they like when they're left on their own?

One of my dogs accidentally bit me a few weeks ago, during a scuffle with another dog. It wasn't a really serious bite- definitely didn't require stitches and barely bled. It was, however, a bit deep. I treated it with triple anti biotic a few times but it never appeared to bad enough to seek medical attention.

There was bad bruising around it for a couple weeks afterwards. Now, the bites are pretty much healed (one was a little nip on my thumb, the other was an actual bite on my thigh). However, there are now "tough" lumps under where the wounds were- somewhat like the lumps that remain where a piercing once was. They're a little tender, but don't bother me by any means- they just feel like a bruise when I touch them firmly.

Is this normal of dog bite wounds? Like I said, they don't really bother me. I'd just like to know if I should be concerned. Neither bite ever showed any sign of infection.

With Halloween coming up this week, what should the typical owner be aware of so that their dog's health is not put in danger. Every year many dogs and cats die during the holidays do to simple mistakes.

So, tell me what YOU are most careful about during Halloween! What should others be mindful of?

As usual, I am asking that we don't give thumbs down and no reporting please. If you don't like someones answer, ignore it and keep on going to the next one. Thank You!

My black 2 year old labrador has to be left in his cage whilst i am at work as he claws at the walls eventually leaving a big hole. I really hate putting him in his cage and would like to let him out in the kitchen and dining room but he has caused so much damage in the past. He also enjoys chewing skirting boards. Any ideas to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

My dogs are covered in what I believe to be "flea dirt" but they're not scratching themselves or anything. They both get washed in a flea shampoo every 3 weeks. They dont spend too much time outside nor do they mix with other dogs. Could this still be fleas or anyone have another idea?
