Breeds you thought you'd never like
Posted to: Choosing A Dog

Puppy illness and aggression
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I ran across this quote in an old thread: stardog85 Just a heads up - it's been shown that dogs that suffer a severe illness requiring hospitalization before 14 weeks of age are more prone to behavior problems, owner directed aggression specifically, so do a lot of remedial work with him now!...

Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi all, I would really, really appreciate it if you could keep Riley in your thoughts. I drove home from school for lunch today and my mom told me that she and my brother brought Riley to the vet around 10;30.

Aussie or BC???
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
Got a drop off. I saw him yesterday but didnt think anything of it. But today he has decided to come stay at my house. He is very skittish. I cant pet him but he lets Samantha pet him. He is obsessed over Kujo and isnt paying any attention to the cats. Aussie or BC? The tail is throwing me off.
