Talking too much about your dog....
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My husband and I take a great deal of pride in our dogs. We talk about them A LOT! People get bored with us, as everytime Duke has a day without going potty inside, or Daisy learns to climb the steps... we have to tell everyone we come across! I think that we may go a little overboard, but I just love...

I have two coydogs here (yes, indeed!) - about 1/16 coy probably, crossed with BC. They are just beautiful, probably littermates, from a near feral dog situation but settling in nicely. They are stunningly gorgeous - one is pure white with a teeny bit of red spotting on his ears, feet, etc. He looks...

Flea medicine - Advantage
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi all, I just got my puppy to the vet today and he gave me some Advantage to stop her fleas. The directions were pretty straightforward but some of the medicine fell off my puppy onto the ground. Is it okay if a little bit falls off? Thanks!

I live in Alaska, and previously lived in New Mexico for 20 years. Friends didn't want to visit me in New Mexico. Why? They didn't want to get "all those shots." They didn't speak Spanish. They were afraid of the Federales. [&:] Now that I am in Alaska I get a whole...

Taking naps
Posted to: Training & Behavior
First of all, thank you everyone who have helped me so far! It's only been one day but it felt like a year! So on this first day, my puppy had some naps outside of her crate. Is there any method to coax her to take her naps inside her crate? I can't estimate when she will get sleepy and when...

The Muzzle
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I have no problem using a muzzle on my dog. I started using one when she started her obedience training because of her high fear agression towards other dogs. I didn't want other dogs in the class to get hurt. Now the muzzle has become a calming aid in training her. When she is not wearing the muzzle...

Cholangialhepatitis?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
My dog's littermate has been diagnosed with bacterial or viral hepatitis. His vet thought it might be cholangiohepatitis, but it's not. Her vet said it's "hereditary and prevalent in Dobes". But I've never heard of it before. Anyone have any experience with it -ie, symptoms, conditions that resulted...
