I don't think I can see him for at least 8 weeks, because we are eliminating all allergens until September and seeing if he gets better. If he does, then we will re-introduce them one at a time. I'm not sure if he means the cat too, or just the foods. I'm really confused and overwhelmed...

My youngest had his allergy appt yesterday and he tested allergic for dogs, and cats. I'm so unbelievably upset. We have a cat, we've had him longer than Andrew has been born, and the allergist is saying we can't keep him. My parents really want him, he's the best cat ever, and they are...

No offense taken at all! I'm quite comfortable with my amateur status, and I'm loving this board and the opportunity to learn so much. I actually don't even plan on owning a pit, no specific reason, they just aren't on my list, but I've still been curious about those big, beefy dogs.

The first link is from Iron Cross Kennels. I've never seen such massive dogs. The second link is some random craigslist ad, and that is what the pit bulls I've always seen have looked like. I just wasn't sure why the first set of dogs were so huge, to a lay person they do look like the...

I just have a conformation question that I've been wondering about. I don't know what breed standard is, but how come there are pit bulls that look like this: And then pit bulls that look like this: http://images.craigslist.org/01010401020501040120070702ddf6c99e40baafe94c004232.jpg...

Yes, why would anyone clip a poodle if that's what they look like grown out? That looks like a great big teddy bear.

What sweet looking dogs. How nice of you to take them in.

A lady on another message board that I go to (for moms) has posted pictures of her Puli that she had when she was growing up. She says they are the best dogs she's ever come across and she can't wait to buy a house so she can have one of her own. I swear I really am this naive! I have...

wow! That first dog looks almost like a Puli! That is a cool coat, but it must take a lot of work!

What does a corded poodle look like?

So if you don't blow them out at all, their coat stays curly? Is there any reason most people don't do that? Is it just a breed standard thing, or is a clip better for them for some reason?

Is that how they get the poodle coats so foofy? Blowing them out?

Do poodles always look like this: or is all of that a specific clip? My neighbor has a dog, that looks almost just like a maltese, and she says he is a french poodle. Is that just what they look like if they aren't clipped?

I think JRTs are absolutely adorable, but as a potential first time dog owner, they are so not on my list. They actually were at first, to a lay person they seem like a great companion for a little boy. And then there was Frasier, which was actually cited on another site for portraying a false...

I don't know a whole lot about dogs, but aren't labs supposed to be the best all around dog?
