Although there are other breeds that are more unique-looking, I have never had or known a better dog than my Labrador Retriever, so that's my pick. I am getting a Golden Retriever in the next 2 weeks, though, so I might have a tie. ;)

I agree with everyone who says diet. Riley, my 10 month lab, is double coated AND one of the breeds someone said was oily. He eats Canidae and raw and no "crap" treats, and he does not smell like a dog WHATSOEVER. Actually, he has kind of a sweet "fresh-grass" type smell. It is definitely...

MalaSibe...do you have any dominance issues with your males? I have a 10 month neutered male black lab and am considering getting a Sibe in the next 6 months to a year. I am very partial to male dogs but was told to NOT get another male, especially if I was getting a breed like the Husky or...

I feed twice a day...one meal of raw and one of kibble, but even if I fed 100% raw I would still feed twice a day. Riley is not quite 10 months, and I feel he needs to eat twice a day to keep up his energy and also so he does not have such a large amount of food at once. Also, with us feeding...

Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. It is hard enough to train a friendly puppy, so I give you props for doing what you've already done. If you keep him it will be a very long and hard road ahead, but it will also be very rewarding if you are able to teach him how to trust. Please...

I would look at Petfinder.com and find a nice lab mix. Labs are GREAT dogs, very intelligent, wonderful with kids and always willing to play. They do shed, but it's not so bad if you brush the dog daily. Some can get fairly big, but there are also just as many that never top 50. My lab is...

I agree with Maxy24. Over the weekend, I was at my parents' house. They have two mixed breeds, and I had Riley with me (my 10 month lab). We were down by the river, and the dogs were doing retrieves with a retrieving dummy in the river. A squirrel ran by and my parents' two took off after...

I have heard Orijen is a very good food, and I know it is available in some parts of Canada anyway. Wish I could get it here!

Unfortunately, I do have experience with cardiomyopathy. Is your dog, by chance, overweight? If so, GET HIM AT HIS IDEAL WEIGHT! I can not emphasize this enough. Sadly, my dog was older when she was diagnosed, but she was VERY overweight for most of her life, and we did get her down to her...

My pup's like this too. A lot of people do comment that he looks thin for a lab, but he's 75 pounds and just has a LOT of muscle (he's 8 months). I can actually feel spine and hip bones, but NOT ribs. I find this kind of odd, but some lab people I know say it's because he's got a lot of extra...

I don't know how accurate it is, but I know I've heard somewhere that Tibetan Mastiffs have very few health problems and are very robust for their size. Supposedly they don't fully mature until 3-4 years?! For such a large dog, they have a very long life expetency as well...I think around 15...

Even if they weren't, there wasn't a whole lot I could do. They had contacted the humane society so it was through them. They called the humane society as well as the number I had put up on flyers and described the dog. Unfortunately, I do think the dog probably was abused, but as far as I...

Just wanted to let everyone know the chihuahua's owner contacted me and came to get him. Thanks so much to everyone who gave such good advice on how to care for him and what to do. It's nice to know I have a place to turn when things like this happen!

not chipped :( Well I just got back from the vet and had him scanned. He is not chipped. I wish I could have him checked out, but unfortunately I just can't afford the $35 bill to have the exam done without knowing for sure I was going to keep him. If I could afford it I would do it in a...

not much of an update So far no one has contacted the humane society about the dog. After having him here for a while, we have decided he may be a mix...we actually weighed him, and he weighs close to 9 pounds. I'm wondering if maybe he's part min-pin. Anyway, I will post pictures as soon as...

I feed my lab Timberwolf Organics Wild and Natural formula. I'm not sure if we have any chicken in the freezer or not? Would a little of the TWO be ok? Or should I just get a little chicken? He seems to be doing well now...we just got back from driving through the neighborhood we found him...

Today I was walking my black lab when I found a bunch of people trying to catch a little chihuahua. None of them really wanted to get ahold of him but were concerned about him being hit by a car, so I ran across the road and got him. Nobody claimed him or had seen him before so I walked him...

It just occurred to me that I have had Riley for almost 3 months and I have not increased the amount of food he gets by much. Is this ok? I currently feed him 2 cups of Timberwolf Wild and Natural a day plus about 12 ounces of raw. He started on about 8 ounces of raw, so this is all I have...
