I feed minced to one of mine, he usually will not eat the bones. Tried the tough love, tried all the tricks in the book, had the vet check his teeth and we finally came to the conclusion he just doesn't want to eat bones. His teeth are really no worse off than my female who eats whole pieces...

A breeder who doesn't make the time to do something with their dogs, competitively or not, would put up a red flag for me. If they don't have the time to take one day every couple weekends to attend a dog event, how will they have the time to properly socialize and raise a litter of puppies...

I rarely am put off immediately by breeders breeding multiple breeds, likely due to coming from a family that bred BC's for farmwork and Labrador Retrievers for field work. There are real reasons why people could own two, even very different, breeds so it is always better to ask rather than...

Does anyone know any breeders who have had success with incentive programs used for puppy placing? What I mean by this is offering part of the purchase price of the pup for completing certain procedures like spaying/neutering, attending training classes, health testing, titling in conformation...

A silent heat is one where the symptoms are not always visible. They can happen early, or late, or at the normal time. Some females are also not as visible in their symptoms though not completely "silent", they may still exhibit some of the behaviors we link to them being in season and some...

Okay, I think some of the replies have been a bit more harsh than needed though I also do agree with the points made. The part the concerns me the most is you're making a match already with a puppy who is 11 days old, how can you possibly know while she is that young, exactly what you want to...

I agree. It's easy to say you should be able to find a puppy close to home from someone you know, but it's not that easy for everyone. My husband is in the military and occasionally we do have to move, so that would be very problematic for us. When we started looking for a show/breeding quality...

I am very very happy with my females breeder. She's a great woman. We keep in touch, she emails me updates on Anna's parents and I email her updates on Anna. She did a wonderful job at matching us with exactly what we wanted. I think it is important for breeders to have a functional...

I'd suggest "The Book of The Bitch" by JM Evans and Kay White, that should be everyone's #1 book if you have a bitch you are planning on breeding. There is info from raising your breeding bitch to sending off the puppies. "Control Of Canine Genetic Disease" by George Padgett is another good...

Every breed of purebred dogs is inbred. My bitch is line bred, her sire's health testing was perfect as well as her mothers, if a breeder knows what they are doing and does not over use line breeding I don't see a problem. People can and do use birth control, we also have a way of preventing...

How is she too tall to be a Harrier when they are the smallest of the 3 breeds you listed? :confused: From the links MicksMom posted: Foxhound: Treeing Walker Coonhound: Harrier:

Here is a good site for information. Hunting Laika Breeds of Russia They have a whole section on hunting with Laikas. I'm not sure if they are more popular elsewhere, but here they are pretty much impossible to find. There is also this site: Laika Hunters Association of North...
