Our 1 year old cross has suddenly, in the past two weeks, developed slight doggy odor. She has always been very odorless so this is a change. What might be causing it and what can we do? Thanks :)

Hi Our dog regularly gets matching round sore spots on the backs of both hind legs. Often they scab over, then can bleed a little if grazed. They seem quite sensitive. Here's a photo of a fresh one on her left hind leg after a run in the park and a swim, looking a bit raw. What are...

After shortlisting a few names my partner and I had different favourites :rolleyes:. So, when we picked up our puppy from the breeder, after playing with her for a while I said the two names to her to see what she would like to be called. She ignored one name completely and wagged her tail...

Just revisiting this post to correct what appears to be wrong information so that rumours don't get perpetuated... I looked into the Shiloh Shepherd origins, believing from what's written here that it's a different breed from the GSD, but what I found is: - The Shiloh is the GSD: It's the...

Those are good points too, Casa. D.

I have to profoundly disagree with this!! (Fortunately, most criminal courts also disagree, but just to reiterate...) The reality is that accidents will always happen from time to time; despite our best care animals will occasionally get out, just as children will occasionally run away or...

A friend of mine bought a house that he couldn't really afford because of his dog - she needed more space! So now he works to pay a mortgage so that his little muttlove can be more comfortable! :) I've never understood those ads either which say "Unfortunately we can't keep her because...

- "Strassel told NEWS 25 this kind of dumping is illegal but says no disciplinary action will be taken saying the street department commissioner is new on the job." Can anything be more ridiculous? If you or I dumped a carcass we'd be charged and we aren't even in the running for the job...

Red, it might not have been...(I thought that too for my post)...I think the thread my have been re-started here rather than actually moved, so there are now two with the same title. Here's the original with the additional/earlier info': http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43124...

Oh dear... Good on you for still trying. What I would suggest depends on how many very patient friends you have...(see below). First some principles of phobias/fears: Socialising a moderately anxious animal works because they have the experience of: "I feel afraid of situation X...

I know what you mean about this. I recently read some information by a pedigree Poodle breeder who very openly has been in-breeding and line-breeding for decades, and who is well known for producing show winners... She was describing how she scrupulously CULLS puppies with any trace of a...

How do you manage getting a second, younger puppy, with respect to diseases? If we are supposed to keep pups indoors or in a safe area until the age that they are protected from Parvo etc, I'm wondering how it works when the older dog goes out into the big wide world everyday, bringing bugs...

Poms were on my list of possibilities for a while, but then I went to a show to check out breeders... There were two main Pom breeders. One had her dogs in a big pen, and any approach by a stranger would set them off in a chorus of barking. Certainly not approachable dogs. The other...

Yes, time for a vet visit. I don't know where doggy glands can be felt, but it might be that - an immune reaction to something. Also I've read quite a few reports of temporary lumpy reactions to Frontline. Ring that vet... Del.

Oh dear, I don't know either. I think you are doing the right thing to get pre-emptive vet checks done. I also agree to try hard to get hold of the other pups' owners; be very persistent, and don't worry about hassling people a bit when it's a life or death issue. Also, if it's genetic it...

I was just thinking the opposite - that dogs naturally eat from the ground all of the time, and us positioning food on platforms for them is just...well, our fussing. Similar for horses, cows, cats... It doesn't quite compute for me that the 15 seconds it takes a dog to eat dinner could be...
