Hot days = loss of appetite?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
This is going to be the 1st summer we've had Boomer. Yesterday was the 1st real hot day and we noticed that he hasn't been that hungry. Took him longer than usual to eat breakfast and the same for dinner. This morning he didn't eat at all. Could this be due to the heat and drinking lots of...

What color is your brown dog?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
This relates mostly to purebreds, who have a specific name for the colors. For instance, my brown Collies are "sable". But if they were another breed, they could be fawn, red, liver, rust, etc. You get the point. So, what color is your brown dog??

Removing a tail
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi, I recently adopted a 9 month old labrador/pitbull cross. He still has his tail and I think it would a lot better without it. Is it possible to have it removed still or should that have been done when he was 2 or 3 days old?

Calming down around dogs...
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Well, we are working with Sally on calming down when we pass/see other dogs out. She isn't nasty to them, but gets overexcited. Every so often I can get her to downstay and hold it, but if the other dog is playful or if she is energetic she generally breaks the stay. What I have been doing when she...

What kind of dog do I own?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
It looks a bit huskyish. It has that wolf look, but I'm pretty sure it's not husky. It's very slim, pointed ears, face is mostly black except for a streak of white and the body is white with various brownish black spots. It's 8 months old and comes up to my knee.
