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...

Hi Just to let you know that Who's Ya Doggy have a new public service - an online lost & found board for dogs. It's free for everyone to use and currently covers the whole of the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Hopefully it should help to reunite dog/human families! Americans and...

It seems that many dogs, esp those with Bichon-type ancestry, can be born with one colour pattern, grow into another, and end up yet another (usually much lighter) ... then change their minds and go back to a previous colour. e.g. I've been looking at pictures of Lowchens which bear no...

Hi A breeder told me that in Lhasa Apsos the lighter fur colours are usually softer to the touch than darker colours, which feel courser. Have you also found this to be true, and does it apply to other breeds as well? Thanks, Del.

Renee, just a short message to express that I found your posting to criticise someone (me) on a thread that had already been closed, knowing that that the person cannot respond, to be extremely poor form. You are of course free to critique anything anyone says (that's fine - and I, for one...

Is this just a long-coat GSD??...or do you think it has something else mixed in?...or that it is something else? (The shagginess seems too uniform, and the ears too dark, and there's something about the eyes ... but overall it seems very GSD.) Thanks, Del.

Some traits are characteristics of breeds; many other traits are very individual to each dog. What do you most love about your dog's personality etc?? (Please state the breed/mix.) e.g. With my GSD I loved her... - Brains and surprising sensitivity/intuition - Playfulness and happy spirit...

I used to allow my rabbit to run around my livingroom for fun and exercise, but I could never find a way to prevent him from chewing cables. So now he stays in his big hutch with all his toys, his view of the ocean...and seems very happy there, but I'd still like to let him out sometimes...

Many people are uncomfortable with pet shops selling puppies, because the puppies sometimes come from careless breeders or mills, and/or because too many shops are irresponsible about how they sell to, and advise, customers. There's a huge pet shop just like that some distance from where I...

Brattina, I hope you don't mind that I made your link into a new thread, but it's just so cool!! http://www.dogstuff.info/dwarfism_lanting.html My dreams have come true - a permanent state of fluffy puppy!! Yay! Priscilla is just one of the most darling dogs I've ever seen!!! I know...

It's said that dogs must be told off for a wrongdoing within 30 seconds or they won't know what you are talking about (well, very quickly afterwards anyway). To that I say "Fooey!!" because... One day I came home from college around 5pm and my mum told me (out of earshot of our GSD) that...

Hi all Having spent quite some time lately reading the various dog boards, I find myself disturbed by some of the rigid thinking and rude comment from certain individuals on the subject of the ancient and continued art of mixing breeds. I do understand the motivation, but the thinking seems...

Is it possible to train dogs not to lick? I was petting a group of Pomeranians at the weekend (who I liked more than I expected - well proportioned little dogs) ... and they were so lick-motivated that I couldn't properly get near them. No matter which way I tried to stroke them to see how...

Hi I've read about these two face types in Pomeranians, but can't find pictures of both side by side so that I can see the differences for myself... Are they real 'types' that one can breed for, or just something which some sellers say? Does anyone here have any pics which show the...

Can someone please advise me about this: One of the breeds I am considering buying is rare in my country. A breeder that I spoke to sells them for 3 to 4 times the cost of other pedigree toy dogs. She also sells them desexed only - because, she says, she doesn't want people to breed from...

I your experience, how smart are puppies and small dogs about heights?? If I go ahead and get a small breed puppy, it will be the first dog that I've kept in an apartment*. I'm four floors up and the balcony railings are 4.5" apart. There are potplants all around, but they may not help...

Are some breeds more naturally inclined to lick people than others? Which ones?? Thanks... D.

Does anyone have recommendations for any litter box designs which are better or nicer than others? In my apartment my bathroom will be the initial 'pen' for a new puppy. I plan to leave a litter box in there long-term as well, next to the 'flushable human litter box'. (It seems...
