keeping a male puppy intact
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Ok, so I've been discussing with a show breeder of manchester terriers about a co-ownership of a puppy he has. Part of the deal is that the puppy would have to remain intact. I've never had an intact dog, let alone a male dog of any kind, only a spayed female. What is it like to live with an...

Poll? Block function.
Posted to: Community Help Center
I don't know if this can be made into a poll, or how to do it or who to contact. But anyway. I thought it would be a good idea to get a show of hands: Who WANTS a block function? I thought of putting it in How Are We Doing, but lets face it, hardly anyone goes there and this place gets loads more...

How do you define "success" with your dog?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Is "success" winning titles on a dog? Is it working with difficult or damaged dogs? Is it just raising a dog to pee outdoors, not pull on lead or jump on people and only chew his own stuff? Or something else? How do you define it? Are you successful? Why?
