    does your dog like going to the vet?

    Weasley loves it, I think he associates it with being saved because we brought him there a couple hours after we got him because he was in such rough shape and I didn't want anything passed on to the cats. Winnie reserves judgement, she doesn't mind visits, but hates overnight stays as she had...

    Don't use 'no'?

    My trainers theory is that NO is to general a term and we apply it to too many behaviour corrections... as in No do attack the cat then NO do not eat the cat litter, there fore the dog who is munching is wondering why he's being told not to attack the cat.

    Dogs & Chocolate & How Much is Deadly

    My border collie got ahold of hubbys vodka chocolates last christmas, ate the whole package... he seemed quite pleased with himself... or drunk... hard to tell. At least there was no health repercussions. Just like every year at x-mas he has 1 (and only 1, no matter how much he begs...) shot of...

    puppy show pics thread

    most of these are moms last litter of pups on one of their visits here, my Winnie is from that litter. The one she's with in the last pic is her sister buttons, my sister kept her and now they still visit and have sleep overs (they sleep, we don't as they have trouble deciding if they want to...

    pitbulls+washington

    WE have a pit bull ban here, since last summer, right before it went into effect the pounds were inundated with the poor creatures. Thankfully there is an out in that if you already have a pit bull you can register it and keep it, just can't get any more and you have to neuter them, keep them...

    Can you recommend breeds that are calm?

    oddly enough another dog I like for calmness, is a rottweiler.I think they've gotten a bad rap, my friends likes nothing more then to sit with you and be loved.

    Which breed?

    I live in Ont, Canada... I had to get one with the muzzle when my dog jumped someone making a delivery when they walked into my house unannounced, hence the been down that road thing...however if you don't have a dog or you have a dog that isn't aggresive it won't be a risk... it' does warn...

    Designer Dog Owners

    I agree sooo much, I like mutts, I'm not completely sure of my border collies parentage as he was found under a truck, so obviously not a dog snob. However I sincerely thing "designer dogs" are a trick someone played when a dog jumped the fence. They give it a cutesy name, and sell it for the...

    - Do you own/will you own your favourite breed?

    My two faves are cockers and collies, have one of each, as you can see by my avatar... my other two are corgis and St Bernards, some day when I have a huge farm house and lots of room I'll have my ST Bernard, don't know if I'll ever get a corgi though.

    what is your fav breed and why?

    If you're going to make me pick one, then I'd say a spaniel. The one I have, and the ones I've been around, are cute, loving, loyal, and they make you their world... the only problem I've had and seen others having is the housetraining... contrary to what people keep claiming, which is that...

    Breed ideas?

    Is your "heart breed" what you thought it would be?

    mine was always collies, now its a cocker spaniel, can't imagine not having one. Always liked corgis too. Someday I will have a farm and adopt a St Bernard though... grandmother had one growing up and I loved it to death. Just requires alot more room then I have now.
