    Vaccination Questions

    Ok, I think cats aren't due for another month or two. We were going to see about taking them to Petco or something this year to save money. I will most likely just pay for my Sophie to go in so she can get a check-up still so my parents dont have to pay for all three. I dont know what all they...

    Vaccination Questions

    thanks, I think for their next check-up next year I will be talking to our vet about doing something like this instead of every year. My dogs do come into contact with other dogs in the neighborhood, but at the moment arent doing agility or anything. They were boarded but that didnt go to well...

    Shaving! Correct for only some breeds?

    Shaving dogs like golden retrievers and australian shepherds has become very popular around my area. It has become a bit of a pet peeve of mine lol. Their coats are made to regulate their body temp in all kinds of weather, so I think its better to leave their coat long. However, like I said a...

    How do your dogs greet you?

    Haha this sounds a bit like Boomer. He gives a big smile, then to wherever he stashed his tennis ball lol. He's got us all trained pretty well to throw that ball :)

    Vaccination Questions

    We have always done yearly vaccinations for our dogs and cats. Our vet had told us what to give them, so we thought thats what they needed. I recently had someone telling me not to do yearly vaccinations for my cats but to get 3 year vaccinations instead. So I've started looking into this now...

    How do your dogs greet you?

    I've noticed every dog seems to have a special way of greeting his/her family. How do your dogs greet you when you've been gone? My dogs: Boomer has the best greeting. he "smiles" very big lol. He only does this with his people. Everytime I have friends with me when I go home, they ask me...

    This Makes Me Angry..

    I wish I could go get her. She isnt sure exactly where the house is now. She was too upset the whole way there to know where she was. What makes it even worse is that this is the second dog they have gotten rid of. The other one got into a fight with a neighbor dog. The neighbors dog started it...

    This Makes Me Angry..

    My neighbor has a lab and a golden retriever. Me and my neighbor have been in 4H and done agility together and always have walked the dogs together. Her golden is so smart and was the one she did agility with and she really enjoeyed and was awsome at it. She got the golden as a puppy I think 3...

    Nothing pisses me off more...

    We used to have neighbor kids that teased our cocker spaniel. One day he got the best of one of them and bit him. It takes a lot to get a cocker to bite haha but they left him alone after that, and of course the parents through a fit about our dog biting their trespassing kid.. Recently one...

    Scent Hounds and invisible fence training?

    Oh I just remembered one of my neighbors does have a greyhound/husky mix that does wonderfully on this fence. I forgot about him because I havent seen him much since they got the fence. Greyhouunds and huskies are both known for being difficult to train for these fences and he definately has a...

    Scent Hounds and invisible fence training?

    If you do try it, I would def. wait longer than 2 weeks to take the flags down. We have always waited at least a month before taking all flags down. I also agree that the dogs dont want to go back into the yard sometimes. Esp. in our neighorhood since eveyone has these fences, dogs will get...

    Guys and their feelings about neutering

    I never knew that it was a good idea to wait until they were older. My vet always has told us to spay/neuter early. all of mine have been well under a year when they were neutered/spayed. But I don't trust my vet at all after having Duke neutered. He was the only one that was older when we...

    Scent Hounds and invisible fence training?

    What I did was set all the flags up spaced very closely together (every 3 feet or so). I carried the collar around the entire yard and listened for the beep so I new where to place them. Then the training varried depending on the dog. With my aussie, he already knew a "leave it" command and so I...
