    Dog behavior - please help!

    I'd have to say it's all in the training... a dog that is allowed to flatten you.. will most likely enjoy doing it time and time again... good luck

    Any Vet's out there? (Allergies)

    Purina in my opinion is nothing but garbage... but that is my opinion.. some people my find their dogs are fine on it... a higher quality food will show you much less problems and will end up costing less in the long run because you use less and you have less problems.. Pred.. is not great to...

    What has your dog destroyed in your house?

    The only thing I have lost with my goldens were my kids sandals when they were little.. they had sandals made with a sponge type material.. and my one golden loved them when he was a pup.. other than that.. that's it.. maybe the odd food bowl got used as a teething ring... but that's it.

    What do you hate...

    For my goldens... it's easy to bath them because they jump in and lie down... they love baths...and when it's warm enough they get bathed in the river...

    How much did you pay for your dog?

    My dogs were all free... but only because my brother is GRet. Breeder.. so that's where Bailey came from. (normally he sells for 500 with papers or 350 with out. Not sure where he gets his prices from) Brooke came from an idiot breeder and was essentially a rescue.. but actually given.. Sandy...
