Choosing A Dog
Duke the Bloodhound
I am trying to coordinate pulling this 5 year old Bloodhound as another foster to keep Newt and Marvin company, along with the others. Anyone have this breed and could share their experience and knowledge. I have always wanted a Bloodhound and this one could be my first foster failure.

Weimaraners
I recently got a weimi puppy as a Christmas present from a friend who breeds them. He is 12 weeks old and I named him Konrad. He has already proved to be very intelligent and obedient. The only problem that he has is that he doesn't like it when I leave him. He is fine if he is in the room with me...

Mutt Puppy's age???
The guy we got him from said 1 month old (clearly didnt know what he wastalking about, he was feeding his dogs garbage, after all). But Arlo has all his milk teeth INCLUDING molars. From the research Ive done online that would indicate AT LEAST 8 weeks old... So if adult teeth start to come in at...

Hound + Hound = ???
Mercy is a 4-year-old female. She's 18 inches tall at the shoulder, and weighs about 40 pounds. She was adopted from the pound, and they had her marked as a "Beagle/Basset mix". But we don't think she's anything like a Basset hound, or anyway, no more than any hound looks like a...

Eddie
This is my grandma's dog, Eddie. She adopted him from a Golden Retriever rescue a few years ago...I'm not entirely sure how old he is, maybe 5? Anyway, they had him labeled as a Golden/Husky mix. I can see where they got that from, but I'm not sure that's quite right. His face is too...

My Aussie has a weight problem? Just curious to see if this comes with the breed. A friend told me that it does. Thoughts on weight control?

Mixed with what?
This is Krystal, she is supposedly an Aussie mix but the shelter was very vague about what she is mixed with. She does have a tail but that could mean it just wasn't docked, some Aussies are born with tails. They said her dad was the Aussie, and mom was black and tan, medium sized, with long fur...

Some Questions about Pitbulls
Ok first how should I train them? I grew up primarily with labs so I don't want to do things with them that would work for a lab but be a mistake for a Pit. For example I like letting my dog have run of the house even when I'm not home but I've been told that as pitbulls I should crate...

guess the breed
This dog is really sweet and submissive, even to the family's three year-old. She used to have longer hair but it had to be cut because she got burrs in it. She loves humans. She is great with the people's other dog, but will chase one of their cats up a tree. She will also chase away any other...

German Pinschers
Does anyone know anything about German Pinschers? My younger brother is planning to fly up to Canada to look at one, but I don't feel that he has enough information on the breed to make a decision as to whether this dog would suit his lifestyle? He seems to think that this breed is just like a doberman...

Boxers =D
So, my friend has a Boxer named Taz (short for Tazmanian Devil [ ]). He's not a show Boxer and is almost completely white...a total goof and not the brightest but definitely a loveable sap! His muscles and his coat...I love them, I can't stop looking at them. I've never seen a dog with such...

Musings
Has anyone out there (besides us), adopted a "flunk out" from a Dog Guidence agency? Our 18 month old Lab flunked with a score of 90, because she dosn't like being groomed. We have not yet received her, but we have heard so many wonderful things about her, I'm considering becoming handicapped...

Any guesses?
Zoe is 7 years old and was found wondering the streets so I have no idea what she is...My best guess is boston terrier x cocker spaniel. What do you think? Oh she also has somewhat short legs. Also her fur is VERY soft and she is about 27 pounds. She also has an underbite. Her ears remind me of...

Is this dog a purebred? If so, what is it!!
While visiting the Santa Anita Racetrack in CA a few days ago, I glimpsed this cute pair of dogs. The one is obviously a Border Collie...but the other one is driving me nuts because I feel like I've seen a picture of a dog like that in a dog book somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on what...
