Are labradors and/or GSDs prone to bloat? What are some things I can do to prevent it, and tell me a little more about it?

If I breed a chocolate lab with a black what are the odds of getting chocolate puppies? Also if I breed a yellow and a black lab could some of the puppies be chocolate? Thanks for any input.

Also, is Ceasar brand canned food good for them at all? Lastly, can anyone recommend some good, nutritious (and "gentle") solid puppy food for a Yorkie?

My bf bought me an 8wk old Yorkie for Xmas this past Sat and gave her to me on Sun night. She was fine all night but the next day I noticed the following: she had vommitted a few times, she was always asleep and barely had energy to hold herself up. I forcefully gave her Nutri-Stat before I left for work that night and she seemed fine when I left. An hour later, her condition worsened. My bf's sister rushed her to an after-hours emergency vet who said she had a small parasite. I asked the doctor if it we did something to cause it and she said that since it had only been two days since we've had her, the puppy was most likely already infected when we bought her from the pet store. Is this true? The pet store advised my bf (sat when he purchased her) that he had until wednesday (since tues was christmas) to get her checked out by a vet. Since we are within that timeline, is there anything I can do to get them to rectify this situation?Like reimburse me for the $1000 vet bill?HELP!

Who got a puppy for christmas??? Were you happy or did you wish you didn't get a puppy??
Did you get supplies with the puppy?

Just so you know, I didn't get a puppy and I didn't want one either....
I don't believe in giving any kind of pets as a gift ever!!!

Please help! I would like advice on when to put my wonderful greyhound to sleep. He was diagnosed with aggressive sarcoma christmas eve., the tumor has tripled its size in 7-days, larger than half a football size. All in a couple of weeks. Surgery and chemo is an alternative but recovery is not good for this condition. He weighed 82 lbs. last week and has lost appx. 7-9 lbs. He is frail, lethargic and has trouble getting up. He has a good appetite and has the most beautiful and soulful eyes you have ever seen. It is breaking my wife's and my heart to see a magnificent animal deteriorate so fast. He is 8 1/2 yrs. old and is my best friend and I don't want him to suffer but I cannot think of putting him down. What is a heartbroken person to do?

Starting this morning my dog's back right leg began shaking. At first I thought it was perhaps the new floor that she was not yet used to; however, the shaking continued on the carpet and couch. It seems as though she's scratching a phantom itch in the air. Does anyone have an idea as to what is wrong with my poor dog?

I need to make my dog quit peeing on his bedding and in his crate. I know the crate has to be the right size and all that so don't comment that please. But I can take him outside and he will go pee and then I bring him back inside and he goes in his crate right afterwards. He can literally pee for over two minutes outside and then still come in and pee. He doesn't even drink that much. He is a little over a year now and he does let me know when he wants to go outside but I just cant get him to quit going in his bed or crate. I have tried scrubbing his crate and taking all the bedding out and still no success. The crate is barely big enough for him to stand up in but he has enough room to lay in and turn around. The only time he is in the crate is when I go to bed so dont think that he is in there all day or anything like that. I used to just leave the door open so he could come and go as he pleased but now I have to shut it so he wont pee on the carpet. Any GOOD answers would help.

if dogs are like cats who dont recognize authority and do whatever that pleases them, would you still want them? Would they still be man's bestfriend?

I have a female German Shepherd and she is almost two years old. She isn't very aggressive towards people if she sees they aren't a threat ,but with my new puppy she just plainly hates him. I got her a muzzle and put them in the same room together with me. He can get close ,but when he gets in her face she freaks out and tries to attack him ,and I shoot her with water and tell her no(she hates water and is usually very effective with training and discipline). I've been doing this for a little less than a week ,and it seems that she is only slightly better. Only if i'm not there she gets a little more aggressive. She's never been aggressive to anyone. Also, if you need to know the puppy is 4 months old and about half my dog's size. He is a boy if that means anything. So, should I just continue what i'm doing or is there any possible alternative that could be more effective?

Ours have stockings and each has a box of bark bars, some treats, chews, each has a toy and a ball.
We'll wrap presents loosely and then let them "nose" them open. They get all giddy and excited when it's the holidays. They KNOW they have stockings and will be real excited to dig into them. They won't be allowed but a few treats of their choice and the rest of the treats will go in their treat box.
Tomorrow, they will get some turkey breast (each one of them, no skin or bones) as a "treat" with their food.
How do you celebrate?
