Does anyone think that Mike Vick was unjustly and unfairly treated just because he's a celebrity and he's African American? Would the same happen to George Clooney if he was the one charged with those acts?

I have female German Shephard 21 months old. She is very aggresive, it's very tough for me to go out for a walk. I even can't take her to market as she barks on every person who is very close to us....not only barks but attacks. She even pulls me a lot. I want her to walk with my pace. How can I teach these two stuff....1) Not to bark and behave in discipline so that she walks with me without belts and 2) Walks with my pace.

My Bichon is now 8 months old and I know is due to come into her first season. The vet said anytime after 6 months old so she's a little overdue. Are there any signs she could be showing to let me know that it's getting close?

My dog had been fixed before we rescued him from a shelter. He will be 7 in November and at least 3-4 times a week he will (sorry if this sounds gross) screw his face, get and erection, lick himself, chase his tail and then lay on his back and bark at nothing. It is very funny to look at but I am worried. I asked the vet about it and he is a little stumped also. Any clues??????

okay so for those who do rescue in the case that you rescue a preg female dog, do you terminate preg. and spay, or let her have pups and then spay.
Just curious to see what everyone else does.

When we bring out food, Our dog is always begging and begging and last night she ate the food right of my plate. How do we stop our dog from doing this. It's really irritating when we have guests over. How can I make her stop begging for everything?

My family just got a new puppy and she is only 10 weeks old. We can't seem to get through her head where to go to the toilet. She keeps going on the carpet and when she does we put her nose in it and put her on the balcony. But it still doesn't work. Lately, we have been taking her outside [[ We have a 2 story house and mainly live upstairs ]] In hopes that she will go on the grass, and she does so. Got any idea's on how to train her? we can't be taking her outside every hour to see if she has to go.

my mum recently got surgery and she cant walk normally for now and my jack russell, whom is usually jumpy and energetic has just been sitting or laying there everytime my mum talks to him or walks by him. he is very calm around her as if he knows she's sick and cant handle him being annoying. is this possible?
if so, i cant believe how respectful he is. is it in a jack russell's nature to be like this?
thanks

Hello,

We're going to be going to the shelter soon to look for a dog to adopt, and I am VERY excited. I've been doing a lot of reading and researching on the breed Im interested in. We've looked into puppy "kindergarten" found the vet we want and everything.

Every animal we have had in the past has always been more of my moms pet I think.. and it always bugged me because they would sleep with her in her bed and never mine. But, she was the one who fed them and walked them since she ws up first...

Im much older now, and a lot more responsible. I want to be the one to feed her, walk her, bathe her, teach her tricks and everything else.. If I do this, will she be more of my dog? My mom says that the only reason the animals we had in the past followed her so much is because she fed them?

Thanks everyone

Took my lab to the vet a couple of months ago as she had a limp. Vet said it was arthritis and gave pain killers to be taken one a day. The pills haven't really helped and she still limps badly. I noticed yesterday that one of the middle pads on one of her front feet is swollen, and the swollen toe is beginning to cross over the other middle toe. Cant find any info on net about crossed, swollen toes. Can anyone help please?

dog: your name is 'pido'. you love your master, but his wife often scolds you for bringing mud into the house. It was fun in the house when the kids were there but now they have grown up and moved away. No one seem to have time to play with you anymore. Also you seem to be so losing your sense of smell and can't run as fast as you did. You're only 12 years old.

I am curious about all the talk regarding 'bettering' a breed. I am definately not condoning the practices of puppy mills, i have seen one, and seriously, these people had at least 100 dogs on thier property, 30 fox terriers per pen! Having said that, i own 2 dogs, a 12yr old female doberman and a maltese x shihtzu female who i breed with to supply pre-ordered puppys. (not the doberman)! Now, i guess im a backyard breeder, should i be put in the same catergory as puppy mill suppliers? It all seems to be a bit generalised. How do people get away with having 100 plus dogs on thier property anyway?
Oh, and how much more can we 'better' our purebreds? in my eyes both my dogs are perfect thanku very much, purebred or not, lol. Better a breed more? Only if your upset it cant look after itself, make its own doctor apps perhaps? Seriously, i understand the problem with unwanted dogs but educating people is the key to fixing it, not abuse. sensible answers only thnx.

We just recently had to put my other dog to sleep a week and a half ago and him and my other dog that we still have were really close. Well now my dog is lashing out he's been pooping in the living room while we are sleeping. We take him outside right before we go to bed so it's not like he doesn't have a chance to go to the bathroom. He knows he does wrong because he'll hide underneath the bed right when we wake up he goes running. It's really making me mad. What can I do about this? We don't feed him after 9:00 PM. And dont take him out til about 11:30 after that. To give it time for it to digest. Is he lashing out because his little buddy is gone?

Oh please....somebody help me! I have a 1 year old female chihuahua. And we absolutely LOVE her. But, for the love of God, I can't get her potty trained. I have read books, went to websites, bought puppy pads, caged her for weeks, and am now pulling my hair out. Not only can I not get her to stop chewing on anything/everything made of cotton or plastic....I can't get her to go ALL the time outside ! ! !
I don't want to get rid of her, everyone loves her. But, If I can't potty train her...... I may just have too.

I got Maggie almost 11 years ago;she was three weeks old and abandoned at my brother's business by a girl who said she was a pit bull/ Rott/GSD.My vet and I have decided that she is most likely a St.Bernard/Boxer/Border Collie,with maybe a bit of Corgi ( who knows?) She's about 22 inches tall and weighs 74 lbs.Her hair is normally thicker and longer,but her summer haircut hasn't grown all the way out yet.She used to have a black mask,but it has turned white as she has aged.So,what do you think she is?

Just a quick question. One of my dogs is an irish setter (purebred, retired show dog.) I'm always amazed at the number of people that don't recognize the breed. They are not a popular breed anymore (yay!) Does anyone else here have one, or have you had one? When was the last time you saw an I.S.? Would you recognize one if you saw it?
