OK...so everyone has OPINIONS on what you should feed. Well, I buy food for a womand and her dogs...for reasons too long to explain...buy suffice it to say I buy the food fer her three LabX dogs.
What I buy them is the Adult Chicken formula Maxximum Nutrition from Wal-Mart.
Is that SUCH a horrid food that I should not be buying it??? Is there something else in that price range that I should be buying?? Am I OBLIGATED to buy Wellness or Innova because everyone says it is "better"???
If you were feeding someone else's dogs, would you buy the "best" because your opinion of the "lesser" foods is so bad, you could not live with yourself if you bought them such bad food????

I thought there was only standard yorkies but as I search more their is allegedly standard,teacup, and toy. But I am confused cause I read somewhere that people just say that to fool you and that the dogs are mistreated at puppy mills. I have no idea what a puppy mill is. So if anyone could clear up this up for me it would be much appreciated. Thank You

My dog Kobey is a shetland sheepdog(or collie, we're not exactly sure, but anyways) he's a "bit" overweight. He has a skin infection that comes back after it finally goes away, and he won't excercise or do anything. I have 2 other dogs, another sheltie and a toy poodle, and they're perfectly healthy. I guess Kobey gains some excess weight when he steals their food sometimes, but he won't do anything.
His nose has a white spot on it too. It's not fur, it's like dried out nose. And I can' get it back to the healthy black wet stage.
Ah yes, once we start walking, he'll stop, refuse, start whining, or try running back home, etc.
Please help?

i have a wiener dog (mini)...he's VERY playfull and goes crazy without toys. but the problem is he hates rubber toys....and if i buy him toys that squeek he will shred it within hours and take the squeeky out and chew on it and almost choke on it. I've tried buying him tennis balls that squeeked so he wouldnt choke on it, but he's just tear holes in it trying to get to the middle. is there anyway to train him to stop destroying his toys? thanks.

If you have a chipoo, a poodador, or some other "designer", and you think they are REAL breeds, what constitutes a mutt?

We x-rayed her at 39 days from last breeding, the vet saw no pup's, if there are pups did we hurt them by x-raying to early?

Before saying, "You can't ... there is no breed standard for a mixed breed", consider things like: symmetry, coat, head, bite, topline, skeletal proportions, temperament, et al, all are important gauges to the overall quality of any dog.
So, if you are looking to adopt (or help someone else adopt) a mixed breed dog, specifically what physical attributes would you consider when evaluating the dog?
BTW: Cuteness factor is not a reliable way to evaluate conformation.

Me and my female Malinois do therapy dog visits to a children's hospital. I usually ask the kids if they have any pets as a way to make conversation. Many of them say yes and tell nice stories about them, which are always nice to hear (of course, I always get the "we just had litter of puppies!" that were backyard bred, which makes me cringe). But a surprisingly large number say "yes, we had a dog, but it ran away!" This seems suspicious to me. With so many people microchipping these days, it seems unlikely that all of them (and there's quite a lot!) just "ran away." More than likely, people are lying to their kids.

What do you tell your kids if something bad happens to the dog and at what age?

I can feel his ribs but not see them. his belly hangs a little bit but he has a tuck.

He is a Lab mix(mixed with Rottie and husky).

My niece(18) bought herself a puppy 2 weeks ago (it was so tiny and cute) anyway, today my nephew(15) went into his bedroom and the puppy had managed to hang its self and was dead. The dilemma we have now is do we tell Louise waht happened or do we say that her dog ran away. I think we shouldn't tell her the truth as no good can come from it. What do you think?

My Puggat (American Rat Terrier and Pug hybrid) is a registered breed with the National Hybrid Registry! This registry is REPUTABLE!!! They only register puppies that both parents are pure bred! So, why are you calling my dog a mutt!

You all are wrong! Here is the link to their website! What do you think? Are you willing to admit you are wrong?

Why would you want a puggle?
Why would you breed a lab and a poodle?

I am just confused as to why people go around purposely mixing dogs!

...or is it just mine? He's an 11 year old Border Collie and as soon as the programme came on to BBC 2, he ran to the TV, lay down in front of it, and is whining and making really funny moaning noises at the other Border Collies and the sheep! Any other dogs watching it?
