Hi everybody, Colt is now16 months old and weighs 18-19 lbs. The vet has been concerned since his 1 year check up that he is underweight (you can feel his spine and tail bones!!). He is a poor eater and often picks. He could go a day with no food at all. Currently, he is on Merrick Puppy...

...why there is not a Colliepoo, or a labracollie. I told him that most Collie breeders probably wouldn't allow the breed to be mixed for integrity reasons. Anybody care to respond?

My dad has a six year old chiuahua mix. He feeds it Pedigree in a can for like ever. Since I got Colt, I have been encouraging him to switch (not for the first time, but I'm like beggin him now!!). I gave him some Canidae today and told him to start adding it a little at a time to his yuck...

I really love this forum and I have learned so much in the short amount of time I have been on here. But I often get the feeling that most of the users here are breeders, people who show dogs, or people who are extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Do you mind us novice people joining your...

I had Colt groomed yesterday. He bit the groomer - but that's another thread in the Puppy Forum.... Now that I'm looking at him - I think she trimmed his hair!!! (Colt is a Collie). Is this normal? Did she need to do this? I want his hair to grow long!! What is the standard for...

He broke the skin, not a puncture. She didn't seem too upset but I am. She was cutting his nails - no warning or anything. Maybe she hurt him because usually Colt will mouth you or bite softly if he doesn't like what you are doing, like a warning to say "get off me". I touch his feet all the...

and what causes them? Colt has a spot on his hind leg, about an inch long, that he keeps chewing at today. He doesn't want me to touch it. I do not recall an injury and he is not limping but this is definitely a sensitive spot. He keeps licking at it. Could this be a hot spot? Should I...

Colt is 7 months old now and he still sleeps in the kitchen gated in with baby gates. He has his bed and blankets in there but I feel just awful even though he seems perfectly fine with this arrangement and never complains. Colt usually falls asleep on the sofa with me while I am watching TV...

Hello, I've been out of touch for awhile - the Holidays were crazy and we bought a Chimney Sweep business in December, so, needless to say, things are just settling down a little. Colt is now 7 months old and doing great. We finished Puppy Training Classes and plan to move into...

I know about the salmon thing but does anyone out there ever feed their dogs raw fish? My husband is a fisherman who often brings home striped bass - a salt water fish. Is this OK?

I'm not sure if that is what this is. Colt pees when approached by strangers - both in the house and if we go for a walk. Not all the time, but most of the time. He doesn't squat down and pee it just spurts out all over (male Collie, 4 months) while he is jumping around like a crazy dog...

Whenever we bring Colt out into the family portion of our home, he loses all his manners - he runs around in a frenzy, jumping on the furniture and as soon as the kids walk by he jumps on them, bites at their clothes, and growls (a play growl - no teeth). He's driving us nuts!!! The stand...

Hi, My name is Kim and I have a 4 1/2 month old Collie. I have been on your forum now for a few weeks but just learned how to put pictures on so everyone could see Colt. This is a great forum and has helped me tremendously!! Colt is the first dog I have owned as an adult. My husband is a...

I need some advice. I am looking into gettting my pup neutered and wondered if anyone has feelings about taking him to a shelter/humane society vs. a vet. My vet wants $320.00 plus $35.00 for a microchip. I can have this done at a local humane society for $60.00 and $20.00 for the microchip...

I have a 15 week old collie puppy named Colt. We acquired him at the young age of 6 weeks from a house breeder who didn't know what he was doing - unfortunately, neither did we!! Now we know that those last two weeks with Mom and littermates were soooo important!! I have since done a lot to...
