Thank you everyone for the great advice and words of wisdom. Tara and I have been in Florida now for six months or so. She's become super fond of the dog parks. I tried to get her excited about the beach but she just gets irritable. We have discovered that I can safely bathe her after each of...

I have friends in Germany with frenchies and they used to play so well with my crazy pbgv pup when I lived there. Very sweet dogs with people and animals. I would get one in a heart beat if I didn't live in such a warm climate...

Welcome to Chaz :) you have beautiful dogs, I hope you enjoy this forum!

My little Tara, sleeps in her crate. I would love her to be able to sleep with me in bed, but she has this idea that the bed needs to be peed on. Thankfully i anticipated that (i had a cat that thought the same many years and Many mattresses ago) and had waterproof covers on the mattress (so...

Italy will have Acana and Orijen. I was living in europe for two years (just moved to florida 2.5 weeks ago!) and I could easily get those brands in the better stores there. You'll be able to ask store clerks for the better brands/ to try to translate the bags at the stores too. Stay respectful...

Hi everyone! Thank you for your kind and optimistic thoughts. Tara and I made it safe and sound. We finally have a lease lined up for the new year. She's gone to her first dog park and walks on the beach. My mother has fallen in love with her too! I will be posting photos as soon as I have more...

Hi everyone, Tara the PBGV and I are moving to the US tomorrow and she is only 7 months old. Its a 10.5 hour international flight and a total of 3 days between our current home and our future home. It starts today in a few hours with a long drive to our first hotel. Please keep us in your...

Thoughts and vibes and prayers being sent to all the dog's suffering with this. Especially Lily!

I will certainly look for something like this. Thanks! Dekka- Tara still has a lot of puppy hair so her coat isn't as rough as the breed standard wants yet. She's not dirty looking at all, she just is smelling....a little un-fresh LOL. Not super bad like a neglected lab but not as delicious...

Hi everyone. My Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV) has started to get stinky from frolicking in fields during our walks. I bathed her about two weeks ago and have heard that you shouldn't bathe rough/wire coated dogs very often. She's only 6 months so she has a bit of softer puppy hair still...

Stlulo59, I would be as devastated as you. Seek another opinion. At very least, when you have tried a different doctor, you will know you have/are doing the right thing by your Best Friend. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers for the best outcome possible. Good Health Vibes are sent your...

Having an obscure French breed of dog, I completely understand why they give them a term/name like French Water Dog instead of Barbet. It makes it easier to explain them. Would you know what a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is? LOL but when I say "I have a French hunting Hound." People understand...

I agree with that. Having lived in Europe I realize that although I have french reletives, German relatives and other European relatives, I am American. I am of German and French decent, but I am all American. The cultures you are raised in really affect who you are.

Wow I'm sending lots of good health vibes his way. Its sounds a lot like Ankylosing Spondylitis that occurs in humans. Poor doggie. ~_~,
