    Protective dogs, what do I do?

    I agree with you Renee. We have the signs but haven't put them up for that exact reason. They aren't viscious dogs. But like some dogs will growl if someone holds a newspaper if they've been hit with one, my dogs act up when people talk while leaning over my fence. If they come in the gate...

    Protective dogs, what do I do?

    We do have a fence for the dogs that keeps them on one side of the yard or the other, but we are on a corner lot and so there's exposure all around. The place we hope to get will definitely help this situation as we will build it to our specificiation. It's just not possible for us to do it...

    Protective dogs, what do I do?

    My dogs are labs and not really what I would call indoor dogs. They need to be able to run and play and my house isn't big enough for that. And they are fenced, and don't get out to cause litters of dogs that won't be taken care of. I don't think castration is the same as nuetering, though it...

    Protective dogs, what do I do?

    :confused: Hi all. I decided I needed to come to the infinite pool of wisdom here at Chazhound to get some advice for my pups. I have five dogs, three girls, two boys. The two boys are the sons of our baby, Sadie. (Sadies four now, but you know how it is.) These boys are wonderful...

    My dying grandmother just lost her dog

    You are always so sweet and thoughtful, Renee. Yes, my husband takes his grandpa to visit her every few days, at the very least once a week. They never got along well and she doesn't recognize people half the time anyway, so niether of them seem to need more of each other... they just need...

    What is it with the media's infatuation with 'bad rap' breeds?

    This was a long and interesting thread. I have only ever been bit by two dogs, one was a black lab who "Never bites!" lol and a Lasso Apso spelling?) Both were unprovoked by me, but not without reason I'm sure. The first time there was a lot of chaos and I think it scared the dog... if...

    to crate or not to crate

    I am a huge fan of crate training, actually. I opt for one that's big enough for the dog to turn around in and can have a little corner for potty and some food and water, depending on how long he's in there. 6 hours is not to long, in my opinion, for a four month old pup. I would just...

    My dying grandmother just lost her dog

    Thanks to all for your comments and kindness. I haven't been back on the forums since it's taken me a while to get my house back in order after taking care of her for so long. My grandmother is now staying with her daughter and her dog is with her. She's much happier now that she can see him...

    My dying grandmother just lost her dog

    You're so sweet Saje, thanks. We did try to explain it but they don't want him hurting anyone that is trying to take care of her so, there's not much room to negotiate. Spike is staying at my aunt's house. She has two huge chocolate labs and a black lab and they don't get along at all...

    stealing pictures in gallery

    To me this is a bit complicated. If he reproduced your picture, it would be illegal as it belongs to you. But, if he used your picture as "inspiration" for a painting and did not simply take the image and use a program to engineer it into a different image, then I think it might be perfectly...

    My dying grandmother just lost her dog

    I just had to share because I'm so sad right now. My husband's grandmother, who is so near and dear to me, is very ill. She's 82 and dying of emphysema. She has a little Laso Apso named Spike who is 13 years old and he is her "Baby" Spike has arthritis, a bad back that is very tender...

    Bichon Frise's.. my dream dog

    I have asthma that is allergy induced among other things, and I am allergic to dogs. I have five of them... but I don't really get to be the dog lover I want to be. Sometimes I have to totally avoid them for weeks because of allergies and it's really frustrating not to get to play with them or...
