    Question-when dogs attack their owners

    I am in no way worried about my two attacking me, in fact I am more concerned that my house would get broken into and the dogs would either A) run away at any given chance or B) lick the robbers, lol!

    Breeds that ENJOY children

    Pops, thanks for that info on rottweilers, I had no idea and that is so interesting! They were my dream dog when I was little, my aunt had one named Bear and he was the neatest dog. I think finding out about the origin of breeds is so fascinating. Thanks for all your answers!!!

    Breeds that ENJOY children

    Lizzybeth, oh, that is like a double edged sword! My 4 1/2 yr old has been begging me for a chihuahua of her very own. She said "if I am good for 3 days can I get a chihuahua?" Ha, as if.

    Baby carriers

    I tried on the one you have pictured and I didn't like it. Plus it hurt my shoulder. The ring sling is very nice, my baby sits up in it, plus I can put her on my hip but I still feel the need to keep my arm around her like that. The mei tai sounds cool, my husband would but probably think I am...

    Breeds that ENJOY children

    It is so great to hear about so many dogs that love children. Especially since you always here about labs and goldens being so great with children and they just are not for everyone. They are both great though, don't get me wrong on that!

    Breeds that ENJOY children

    We had a poodle growing up that loved us kids, despite me remembering picking on him quite a bit. I think It is so special when a dog that really hasn't grown up with kids loves them. I just think that is the neatest thing. Pops2-is a Rott considered a bully breed? I always thought it was a...

    Question-when dogs attack their owners

    Elegy, thank you so much for that website, I will go check it out. I realize that it is difficult to get the truth, especially if the owner dies there is really know way of knowing what happened. It does make sense that if two large, powerful dogs are fighting and the owner was to attempt to...

    Baby carriers

    My baby is 6 months and I use the moby wrap (very comfortable) and the maya ring sling (less comfortable but easier to use. still comfy though). I use the moby if I know I'll carry her for a very long time and the maya if I need to get her in and out because it is easier. She weighs a little...

    Question-when dogs attack their owners

    Well I know there is not one answer, lol. But when you hear it on the news it comes up and people always say it is because they are pits (cane corso, etc). It would be nice to have some solid information so that I can refute these claims. If I were to just say it was because of (whatever) and it...

    I hate weird haircuts on dogs, but this is awesome.

    I did that once to my schnauzer I had when I was little. My let me give the haircut, bad decision on her part! Hey, I was just a kid!

    Breeds that ENJOY children

    I see/hear people often asking what breeds are good with children but I am interested in knowing what breeds enjoy being with children. Lucy is the most even tempered dog, will tolerate a lot of "abuse" from the little ones, but she would much prefer a belly rub than a game with the kids. She...

    Question-when dogs attack their owners

    You see it in the media occasionally, dogs that "turn" on their owners. Does anyone know the reasons behind these attacks? I often hear people say it is the breed, that it is a matter of time before they turn on their owners. I know that is totally bogus, it doesn't make any sense. But I would...

    For Those with Failed Fosters

    Maybe because he wasn't in the cages and was nicely walking on a leash? And not acting all hyper like a lot of shelter dogs do from being pent up in cages all day long.

    Is nervousness/fearfulness enviromental or inherited?

    I have given them the number to the low cost clinic that is near them and really that is all I can do. I will likely end up passing on any puppy because I do have small children and I do believe temperament is genetic. I also agree that it has to do with environment but I think more so genetic...

    Is nervousness/fearfulness enviromental or inherited?

    Ew, I hadn't even thought of that! Wow, I will have to mention that to them, thanks for pointing it out. I wonder if that will make them rethink this whole not spaying/neutering thing.

    Is nervousness/fearfulness enviromental or inherited?

    Yes, I think waiting to see them and them being old enough to show their personality is a great idea. We had a fearful dog before and she was a great dog despite her quirks. She was well socialized and was not fearful-aggressive. They can't afford to raise a litter. They are (not to generalize...

    Is nervousness/fearfulness enviromental or inherited?

    Re-reading my last post makes me sound like I am defending him, I am not, I am just trying to think of every possibility and try to make a good decision.

    Is nervousness/fearfulness enviromental or inherited?

    Joce, I must have been typing when you posted! I know they don't shed horribly (year round) but yeah, the female probably will shed heavily twice a year. I hadn't thought of that. Koda, our newfie/golden mix sheds lightly year round and heavily once a year and Lucy sheds very little. I know I...
