    Age differences

    6 years is the largest gap for me. My husband is six years older than me, and I dated someone his age before him.

    Peoples views on Spaying?

    My vet says that the uterus supports the bladder -- but you could be right too, I'm not sure.

    Breeder help (border collies)

    I have had several dogs/puppies driven across the border. They need a rabies certificate if they are over 12 weeks -- otherwise, no issues! :) I've heard of the border guards opening the vechicle to look at the dog etc, but it's never happened to me or my new puppy owners. They've never even...

    Peoples views on Spaying?

    Honestly I think the risks outweigh the benefits -- however it's best that Joe Blow public doesn't know that. I do keep it in my contract that my puppies need to wait atleast 18 months before being altered to allow the growth plates to close etc (OR they can have a partial spay/neuter to keep...

    Pressure Cooker / Chicken Bones

    I used to have several rats; It was so nice because I never needed to waste cooked bones of any sort. My rats LOVED to gnaw on chicken bones (of course with them you don't have to worry about splintering with the (non pressure cooked) cooked bones). We got a pressure cooker for Christmas so now...

    Pressure Cooker / Chicken Bones

    Every now and then I buy a can of Wing-A-Ling by Merrick. I am just always intrigued by the soft mushy bones lol. naturalfeddogs, even a raw bone is ALOT more likely to splinter than one that is pressure-cooked. Buy a can of Wing-A-Ling; You can't even scoop it out of the can without the...

    To any person who has shopped at Walmart

    Wow, I can't believe thee are people like that out there who can be so rude (well, I can believe it -- it's just so sad); I have worked as a dog groomer for over 6 years; Most of my job is customer service (especially when I worked for the busiest shop in town and it was all I could do to stay...

    Breeder help (border collies)

    I am in BC so not very far -- I recommend our herding trainer, Diana Gauthier. Her dogs have great temperaments and they're real stock dogs. She works them on her farm. Her dogs have several herding Ch's. At the Calgary stampede she has won the World's Championship Stock dog competitions more...

    Itchy Skin?

    Probably still just scratching from flea bites. :) At work if dogs ever come in with parasites, after the flea shampoo I wash them in Quick Relief Neem shampoo (by Natures Specialties) to soothe their skin.

    Breed you want in the future (boerboel pics inside)

    Sorry, this is a repeat post.. I tried to edit my last one and for some reason it duplicated it?? Now it won't let me delete this one. Sometimes I think about getting a Norwegian buhund. Maybe one day! I have only met one (I used to groom him) and I LOVED him, he had such a great temeprament...

    The off Switch

    My dogs have always had an excellent off switch. There are the odd times or places that they don't, however in general they're really good. They could work all day and all night; They have all the energy in the world; But they still can turn off like nothing, most of the time. I want dogs who...

    Breed you want in the future (boerboel pics inside)

    Sometimes I think about getting a Norwegian buhund. Maybe one day! I have only met one (I used to groom him) and I LOVED him, he had such a great temeprament. I'd have to meet some more before deciding. My husband really wants to get something that looks similar to a husky or malamute when...

    Nutro

    Nutro has some lower grade and medium grade formulas. Certainly NOT the worst out there by any means, and alot of dogs do well on it (my friend has an entire herd of shelties on the venison formula and it's the only one they all do well on), but when you read into Nutro, the company itself has...

    Pigment Loss

    Does he have any plastic water dishes or plastic toys? I'd remove those immediatly. Those can cause pigment loss. Try a food switch and add sea kelp to his diet (they make kelp products for dogs, you should be able to find some at your local pet supply store). :) Good luck, I hope you manage to...

    Does DAP(Dog Appeasing Pheromone) work?

    My vet recommends DAP. :) I have no personal experience with it though. What is her "den" like? If it's a large space (like a big ex-pen) with lots of room to run around and something like a litter box (potty area??) I wouldn't be too worried about it teaching her to pee in the house later...
