And honestly not meant to be inflammatory: why do pit bull owners seem like they want to breed their dog more often than other dog owners? In the South (and in the West too) there are a CRAP LOAD of pits/pit mixes in shelters that are going to end up being killed because, let's face it, no...

I love it! Ya'll are much better sports than I thought! Question, though: I want to breed my aggresive, hip dysplasia-ed great dane/rotttweiler/pit bull mix with an anxious, shy pomerian whom I got from a pet store. My friend told me that she and her friends wanted all the puppies and I'm...

Ha ha. Just kidding. Ya'll scare me. I would never dream of breeding my dog but if I did, this is about the last place I'd come to announce it. Just adding a little levity. My fiance is a vet and I've seen the dogs that suffer as a result of careless breeding - and we certainly have...

Gomez at 8 weeks, when we first took him home: Gomez at 13 weeks: Pretty much full grown:

Update: since the dog is fully housebroken (we leave him out of the crate for 8-9 hours during the day when we're gone with NO accidents - he's so good!) I no longer put him in his crate at night. Now he sleeps at the floor by the bed (he doesn't like sleeping on the bed with us, which is kinda...

As a woman, I'm sort of fascinated/repulsed by the dog's boner. My boy is 5 months old and he hasn't started humping anything, thank god, but the pink worm comes out of it's shell every now and again for no good reason at all. I suppose this is like teenage boys who get erections for no reason...

Sorry for giving that impression. My SO loves the dog to death. He calls him his son (this is our first dog) and adores him endlessly. The SO is just incredibly tired (this weekend he worked for 38 hours straight - and then had to go back to the hospital 10 hours later. He doesn't have a day...

Baby Gomez is about to get the "smack down". If he pulls this tonight (like he did this morning - again!) I'm putting him and his crate in the bathroom. I don't know what's got into him. Maybe he's going through puberty and is trying to be a rebellious teen!

I just did the can thing again (throwing it at his feet) and that startled him. He just sometimes get into these frenzies - and acts like a maniac. Also, we're gone a lot right now (around 7-8 hours a day) so he's bored. He's getting 4 30 minute walks a day, though. He was spoiled because...

HAHA! Don't wish for him to bark! I would willingly trade my high pitched barking 20 week old for yours right now!

Yeah, I hear ya. It's easier for me to ignore him (and he does get bored...eventually) than it is my SO. The high pitched barking is making him mental! And this business of doing it in the early morning is just maddening. During the day/evening, if he starts bugging us like that it usually...

We have a 20 week old miniature American Eskimo Dog who has recently developed some incredibly annoying habits. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old and have crate trained him from the begining. He is totally housebroken, which is wonderful. However, in the last week or so he has...

We also have a 16 week old American Eskimo dog who is doing really well with housetraining. We crate him at night, and take him out about every 3 hours. He is ALWAYS supervised because we still don't entirely trust him! Eskies are really clever, so he should quickly figure out this issue if...
