I've been away from this board for awhile. Our Wheaten, Darby, is a year and a half old now, and we're seriously contemplating a 2nd dog. Any suggestions on breeds that would get along well with a Wheaten? Darby is female, friendly to a fault with friends and strangers alike (think Wheaten...

Sorry Spirit if I missed some background on this situation. What exactly are Whisper's symptoms? Has she been on an antibiotic?

1. First thing in the AM - Pee 2. Right after breakfast - Poop, might not pee again 4. Late morning - Pee 5. Late afternoon - Pee, might poop 6. After dinner (usually a walk) - Poop and Pee 7. Right before bed - Pee That's 7, but I'm guessing that the late morning/late afternoon could...

:lol-sign: I didn't even notice the spam in the original message. I was responding to the responses and barely read it.

Specifically, he pled guilty to: "conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture." So it was ferderal conspiracy charge more than anything else. It just happened to stem from dog fighting in this case. Hard to say...

I know my dog would try to chew the heck out of that wood. :p Check these out. They seem to have metal doors but still look like furniture. Of course, they're $500 for a 36 inch crate. http://www.cratehaven.com/harrison-collection.htm

This was in another thread I recently started, but if there's a dedicated snow nose thread then dang-it-all, I'd adding this one. From today:

I'll just bore you with one, since it answered my other question, which was, "I wonder if she'll be comfortable doing her business in the snow?"

I was worried how she'd handle it since she's a bit of a scaredy-dog around new things. She seems OK with the idea though. :)

Thought I'd follow up on this. Darby has been off Natural Balance and on Canidae for about a month now. We just came back from the vet and her urine was normal for the first time in weeks. PH just right, white cell count in range, no bacteria. The vet wants me to come back in 3 months and...

I dunno, but if you figure it out please let me know. Darby (10 months) is exactly like that, she's like a live wire and nothing at all can keep her from her greeting theatrics. We can physically restain her from jumping up, but that's about it. Bouncing, rolling, flopping, squirming...it's like...

:lol-sign: Maxy is correct. You probably shouldn't have been asleep with a 16 week old puppy loose in the house. Of course that doesn't really explain why the dog actually targeted you. That does seem odd. Was it during the day or at night? How often do you take the pup out? At 16 weeks...

Yeah, I absolutely agree. On reason we opted not to get one is that Darby is a terrier and inclined to be a bit of a chaser. Even though there's really not much in the way of chaseable wildlife in ouir neighborhood, we just weren't comfortable with the idea, though Invisible Fence did offer a...

I don't have one, and as such I didn't train my dog with one. :) I merely looked into it and talked to folks in my neighborhood who used them. I was just commenting on what seems to be a 180 degree difference between the experiences of those I talked to as compared to the prevailing attitude on...

Well, I suppose that's a reasonable point with regards to the people in my neighborhood that I spoke with, though it still doesn't explain why no one on Chaz seems to have ever met or heard of anyone with a similarly good experience. I just think that there's a herd mentality here on a few...
