Thanks Dekka, I was actually hoping you'd be one of the people answering. First, as far as "knowing" the commands this is where it gets a little blurry. I can give Brutus a down command in a certain situation and he'll execute perfectly (it's really cute), but then a few hours later in...

Okay, I have kind of a strange issue going on and I'm hoping for some advice. About 1 1/2 months ago I took in a TFT (toy fox terrier) that had been abandoned and living outside. Now, not for purposes of tooting my own horn, but just to add information--I'm middle-aged and I have a long...

What a handsome young fellow Rufus is. I love bull terriers. More pictures?:popcorn:

Thanks guys. The funny thing is that if I had just seen him on the street with another owner, it would never have occurred to me to think he was cute. I just never understood the appeal of this "type" of breed. It's took less than a week and I'm a total convert...I always wanted to be a woman...

Okay, I'm trying it once again. Drumroll please...(thanks Angel Chicken)

oops,nope didn't work. Okay, I got my account in photobucket; uploaded my pictures; clicked on the mountain; and typed in the url address... What am I doing wrong?

So here's the little terror...PRESENTING BRUTUS...I hope this works:rolleyes:

Wow, so much wonderful advice. Brutus and I really appreciate it. It seems that Brutus' food issue was primarily a tooth related issue and both problems were taken care of at once. When I found Brutus he had a number of what my vet had identified as "retained" puppy teeth sticking out at...

Hi Brattina88, Thanks for asking. Things are going pretty well. I had some questions about feeding/food intake that I posted under health, but I don't think any small dog people saw the post. I think his food issues are straightening out--at least he's beginning to eat twice a day. Because...

Hi There; This morning I went where I never thought I'd go... Brutus, the 6 lb Toy Fox Terrier that I've rescued is doing very well except for food issues. I've only had him since Tuesday, and in a larger dog it wouldn't bother me so much if he wasn't eating. I'd keep an eye out for...

Wow, you guys are great... Adojrts: It really helped hearing that you are in Canada with 6 lb pups. As cold and snowy as our winters are, they're still tougher in Ontario. So, last night when we went out for our bedtime pee, I just waited and waited and waited...Brutus had his little dog...

Wow, thanks for all of the great advice :hail: We, meaning everyone my house big and small, appreciates it greatly. Poodlemommy: Thanks for the words of encouragement. If your little yorkie can get up the stairs, then Brutus should be able to. He's actually been trying to jump up on the...

Oh Boy a Trip to the Pet Store:) Thanks for the tip on the collar size. Yup, the one he had on did stretch and yes, he could get out of it. I'm also going to buy a bunch of sweaters for him. I can't find information anywhere on what temperatures sweaters would be appropriate for. It's...

Hi There Maxy24; I guess I should have been clearer. While we have several feet of snow on the ground, the area that I'm taking him to is shovelled. We snowblow a large area for my large dogs to use every year. But there's still some bits of ice and slush on the ground and Brutus clearly...

Thanks Herschel, He still hasn't eaten anything. I think tonight when I crate him I'll put a little rice and nutri-cal in his crate. I took him to the vet this afternoon. The age verdict seems to be about 6 mos. but it's really hard to tell because his teeth are unbelievable messed...

Hi Brattina88; Thanks for answering, I really appreciate it. It seems that as a personality, I'm going to have to really guard against little dog syndrome. My initial chief concern is of course, housebreaking (no suprises there). I'm usually home during the days so watching Brutus (my...

Hi There; I'm a long time dog owner, but a first time toy dog owner. So I'm hitting the boards looking for advice. I suspect that "toydom" may be a whole new world. I've posted in the training section looking for advice specific to my situation and I will be very greatful for any replies.

I'm new to this site. I'm desperately looking for dog owners that have experience working with toy breed rescue dogs. I have a long history working with larger rescue dogs (~70 lb), but as of yesterday, I now have my first toy rescue. By toy, I mean 6.5 lbs. He was found freezing in a...
