i am sure inverted vulvas happen but honestly do not know of one case ever in 35 years in dogs so i would be willing to say it is the exception and if a vet did not diagnose it then it is not a good idea to recommend allowing a heat and i have never seen anything but anecdotal evidence that...

gloria is total fab a natural show girl shes hot and knows it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheepjoke

length of nursing has little to no effect on length of maternal antibodies. It is colostrum that has the antibodies and that is only the first, what....24-48 hours after birth. Those antibodies are what lasts for...8-12 weeks, so nursing time has no effect on antibodies. dehydration is hte cause...

wellness caused crystals and uti and chronic thirst in one of my baby puppies and switching to adult food(not wellness) fixed it vet tried to tell them it was early renal failure so be aware that food can and does cause urinary and kidney issues. id switch to canidae or natures variety prairie...

raw chicken bones are soft, so are not going to splinter that said, I have had a dog cough up a sliver of raw chicken bone and i nearly passed out. it took me a long time to feed raw chicken bones again now i prefer to feed chicken and turkey necks i do not do organ meat maybe very rarely...

no myth about stinky hound here, i smell them at dog shows, freshly bathed, smell them at friends houses. bassets, beagles, bloodhounds, foxhounds, been there smelled that. doxies do not smell thank goodness and im sure that not all scenthounds smell, at least not all the time and maybe i am...

hes a beauty you keep his coat looking good sheepjoke

hmm....just a few observations....many hounds have the hound smell and you know what I mean if you have smelled it. many hounds are not at all interested in pleasing people instead are lead by their noses so they are not very good pets for people wanting a dog that wants to make them happy they...

great points, showpug yes, a 72+ hour contagious disease and bad temperament guarantee is also a good thing to have. sheepjoke

my sincere condolences, she was beautiful. sheepjoke

yes i accept it easy and if you know what has been accomplished by it, you would to. shelter animals are not always a good candidate for testing and why do you think that is better than dogs bred specifically for the purpose of testing i dont get that. research needs very specific parameters...

anything over 2 years that does not require you to give the dog back and that gives you up to the purchase price or another puppy. some breeders breed so little that the money back deal is the only way to go but some do not offer that you have to be a bit flexible regarding guarantees. i got no...

i agree, hounded. if you want a cure for this issue, or a solution, then you must expect the research to occur on dogs affected with the gene. just another reason we need animals in research a computers 'dna' does not really give anyone any solution to this and most other health issues for dogs...

a lifetime guarantee is ridiculous if you think it is so important why dont you try to find a daxie breeder who offers that that you consider reputable and also the contract must be one w/o the loophole of getting the defective dog back to the breeder. heck anyone can offer a lifetime guarantee...

deposits should always be refundable in cases such as this does the breeder really want someone who doesnt want a puppy at this time to have one of her puppies pushed on her, then later dropped off at a shelter or on a gravel road things to think about reasons dogs from bybs end up in shelters i...

i agree wit corgipower. i wouldnt give them another dime, and id tell them why. there are plenty of real rescues who do good work and who judge a dog by its temperament not by its breed it makes me furious that they assume all pits are bad dogs. wow. many more bad poodles and cockers ime and...

go to the dachshund club of america. start there know what questions to ask. not all show breeders are reputable, but my opinoin is all reputable breeders show dogs or compete in other events to prove the dog is worthy of breeding. avoid anyone with a "pair" of dogs that "only breed once a...
