Dogs - November 2007

Okay well my dog sheds like a maniac, and I went to Hawaii for week with my family and my grandma stayed home, and she said he shedded a lot less when we were gone.

Is it because of the treats i give him? Because I am the one that gives him treats and such. Or is it just because no one was rubbing him? [my grandma doesnt rub him]

I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever.
He is approximately 100 or a couple less pounds, so he is overweight.
I feed him a Purina One Chicken and Rice Formula.
I usually give him 2 cups in the morning around 6amish and then another 2 cups 5pm or 6pm

Why is he always laying around his bowl or sitting next to where the food is?
He does eat very quickly also.
Any suggestions?
Please

I have an 11 month old English Bulldog and he sheds like crazy all the time! At first I thought he was shedding in the summer just because it was hot out but it's way colder now and he sheds A LOT! Even after giving him a bath, I can see his hair just falls out. I heard that giving him an egg with his food will help control it, but I'm not sure if this will work. Any more ideas?

I am looking for something I can make out of stuff I already have at home to give my dog a flea/Tick "dip". We found only one tick on her and want to do the 'dip' bath thing but can't afford to buy the stuff at the store. Does anyone know of a home remedy? there's got to be one out there somewhere..... Thanks

I got a puppy last Friday and he has been fine up until early this morning when I took him outside to go to the loo and he did a runny poo, that was about 5.30am. Now around half an hour ago (around 9.30am) he did another runnier poo and this one had a little blood.
I called the place where I got him and all they said was they will send me some medicine. But that was all they said, not very helpful. So I called a vet and she said it could just be his change of diet but he has been fine the whole time I've had him up until now. She said if he is still doing it in 2 days bring him in.
He is still acting normal, playing, eating etc, it's just the loo problem.
So does anyone know why this might be happening and is there anything else I can do to stop it? Thanks heaps.

I am really thinking about getting a siberian Husky when I get a house, but I had some questions about them.

1.) I have heard from some they shed a lot, but others say they don't shed that much. Which is more accurate and what would be the best way to maintain their coat?

2.) Are these considered good family dogs?

3.) What should I look out for when looking for a puppy?

4.) What exactly does it mean when the dog is "registered?"

5.) What sort of temperament do these dogs usually have?

6.) Are these dogs pretty smart?

Also, any additional help or thoughts you could give me would be great. Thanks!

My friend is a very decent, upstanding citizen. She paid a lot of money for a dog and hired a trainer, etc. The dog lived in her home. She decided to give the dog away when she had a baby (she and hubby don't need the money so they didn't sell the dog). They interviewed several people and requested to see where the dog would be living, and asked if they could call occasionally to see how the dog is doing. They decided on a family--and found out that the family had given them a false address---and that their house was a mobile home and the dog was kept in the yard, chained to a tree. My friend called them to check on the dog and they told her not to call or come by again.

Fair or not fair? What are your thoughts?

I have a 1 1/2 year old male English Mastiff and a 9 month old male Rott, both dogs have been fixed. They start playing really ruff, mastiff has a big gash under one eye. Then after playing with each other for a while they come after me and bite hard. When the dogs are seperated from each other they are fine, it's only when they are together. Walking them helps, but not nearly enough. I have tried crating one, but the other one will tease the one in the crate and then the non stop barking begins. Any suggustions on how to handle them, don't tell me to walk them, like I said walking them helps, but not enough.
I should also mention they don't fight, they just play way to rough.

people say that ALL dogs are meant to stay in the house-well what about wolf hybrids?? do they count too??
and what about the dogs that are so energetic that they are meant for outside..do you want a HUGE ENERGETIC do running through your house and knocking down everything??
i think certain dogs with certain characteristics and personalities belong outside..
What about you?

I am so tired of hearing people answer questions regarding when, what, why to they want to breed their dog, by saying they should go to a shelter and adopt a dog first. WHY???? Those shelters are full of diseases, viruses and mistreated dogs and god only knows what else? I say, if they are the ones that are feeding the dogs, then they are the only ones that need to have an opinion as to why they are breeding, etc. What do you think?

I had her since she was 5 weeks old and she did not shed at all if any. Do you think that she's just loosing her baby coat and when her other coat grows in she wont shed as much? Her mom is golden retriever and her dad is a lab. She does looks more like a lab and does not have that long retriever hair. Her hair is just golden. What can I do to help with the shedding? Its getting all over.Thanks for you help!

I live in the south and I have three 8 pound pups. I am tired of the fleas. I have bathed them, and sprayed them. They spend the majority of the day outdoors. I am not willing to pay all that money for "Frontline", and all those other expensive brands. With three dogs that becomes rediculous. Please send helpful responses. Thanks for your time.
