My dog has a genetic defect called entropion. The eyelids actually turn in and the eyelashes end up rubbing on the eye and can cause damage to the cornea. I noticed his eyes were tearing a lot and somewat mucousy (sp?). Has anyone had a dog with this condition and any recommendations for...

my neighbors pug barks all day, not quiet. I think she's like a dog with shorter hair

I have a friend at work who is looking for a small breed dog that is not much of a barker. She is willing to look into anything it just needs to be less of a hyper little one. Any suggestions? By small we are talking about the size of a Yorkshire or a Bichon.

I Like your suggestions about the treats on the feared items, that is a will do

My Scoop is a great pup. He is sweet and gentle, barks at odd noises like a good watch dog but is frightened of large objects and certain noises. i can run the vacuum right around him but if a towel falls on the floor he jumps. Last night, for example, when we walked he was frightened of...

Interesting comments and as i research the Airedale i am beginning to feel I need a dog a little less head strong, a dog able to be trusted in the yard without a fence and although active not always into something. My terrier cross was very smart and sometimes fresh .She was able to hang out in...

Thank you for your condolences. Rudy had mast cell cancer that we thought we had beat but it had sadly spread. She was 10 and i had gotten her at a local pound at 4 months. It has been very difficult without her as I love her so very much. Scoop, my young guy, actually was very overshadowed by...

My wheaton mix just recently had to be put to sleep. I am not ready yet for another dog, I still have another young terrier mix at home. However i am intersted in getting another Terrier type mix or purebreed as a rescue pet and am leaning towards the larger terrier breeds such as an Airedale. I...

I am using the product Frontline Plus for fleas and ticks. It seems effective on ticks as i find them dead in the house. I think my dog Scoop may have gotten a few fleas somewhere as he is itching and i saw som kind of long flat like brown bug on my shirt after he was laying on me last night...
