Papillon ear question
Okay, so this is kind of a silly question, but I just can't help myself anymore... how fragile are erect papillon ears? Like, if I'm being a dork and flatten them to his head to make him look like a rat and I do it too many times will that weaken the cartilage and make his ears droopy? When he...

What an unusual looking dog!
As I was preparing ads for the local newspaper, I came across the ad for our local shelter. This poor pup was found as a stray. I thought he was just gorgeous, but where did that stripe down his back & head come from? Such a unique pup, hope his owners claim him (her?)

Pitbulls in Cali?
Is it true that all Pitbulls have been banned from California? My friend told that they have been and I just wanted to confirm it. If so I can't believe it! I'm so sick of all this Pitbull discrimination! Its the owners fault that some of them are mean, not the dogs.
