All White Husky?
Posted to: Choosing A Dog

What did your dog(s) have for dinner? What did you have?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Often it's mentioned here that people's dogs eat better, or healthier, than they do. At least at my house that's usually too true. So what did you have for dinner? What did your dog(s) have? Tonight the dogs had trout and their all-natural lamb & rice kibble. Boomer is munching...

"Can my dog say Hi?"
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I feel so sad writing this but I guess I need opinons. I have recently accepted the fact that Ginny is dog-aggressive. On-leash or off-leash, she will attack 90% of the dogs she meets. I was hoping it was only reactivity or a leash problem, but I believe her upbringing (pregnant stray, having to defend...

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel grooming

Hi, Just wondering if any Cavi owners get their dogs occasionally clipped? I know it's definitely frowned upon in the show ring, but on a practical level for the domestic owner, I find I can't take my dog for a walk in the park without his picking up every single grass seed on the way and...

rainy days and going potty
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My dog absolutely hates rain and walking on damp or wet ground. She will come out reluctantly, only to stand on the sidewalk and not budge despite coaxing and some very gentle leash tugging. She will hold it until the next morning if it means going back inside the house, which is bad because she only...
