    Desperately Seeking SA Help

    Hi Chaz! It's me. I haven't posted in awhile mostly due to having started a new job, busy with school, etc etc etc. However, I'm posting now, and I'm desperately hoping someone can help. I have a six-and-a-half year old Collie/sighthound mix I adopted back in October. So far, she is...

    There's Something About That "Ah Ha!" Moment...

    I had the misfortune tonight of running into a very unpleasant person on our evening walk, and without getting into specifics I came home feeling despondent and sad about life. After mulling over the argument a few times in my head, I decided the only thing to do was validate my position, and...

    Tail Bleeding?

    This morning, I took Nahla out like usual, came home, and everything was fine. I had a guest over, however, and after initial greetings at the door we noticed blood on the wall, and it took a few minutes before we realized Nahla's rapidly wagging tail was splattering blood everywhere. I used a...

    How To Make A Sighthound Sit + Jealousy Problems

    Hi Chaz! :D While training is mostly going well with the clicker, and I find Nahla to be very food motivated, I have run into two problems that I'm hoping someone might be able to chip in on! How to make a sighthound sit??? Or sighthound-type cross, anyway... She does not sit...

    Nahla's Intro!

    Hi everyone! I was pretty bushed from our drive home yesterday so I didn't get much of a chance to update/post pictures like I'd hoped I would! So, having said that, I have quite a few extra as a result now. :] For those who don't know, a few days ago (October 3rd, to be exact) I adopted a...

    She's Home!

    I'll post pictures later today or tomorrow, but I couldn't hold my excitement in anymore! :) Yesterday I picked up the newest member of my family from a shelter. :) She is six year old female and I was told she was a Borzoi mix, but I'm not sure. She definitely has a sighthound look to her...

    In Praise of Senior Dogs?

    Hi guys, me again (gosh, I have too many questions). Today I was browsing PetFinder, as I'm wont to do lately, and I noticed that the dogs catching my eye were all quite a bit middle aged, or older (the youngest was 4 years). Now, I've been looking for something older (I just don't have the...

    The Great Training "Debate"?

    Hi guys! So this may be a bit of a ramble, but I'm trying to collect my thoughts as succinctly as possible. If this comes out too rant-y or doesn't make much sense, please let me know and I'll edit to clarify as much as I can! <3 I've been mostly lurking on Chazhound after getting some...

    Adoption Requirements?

    A few weeks ago, I posted looking for opinions about breeds, and I've narrowed them down. As much as I had previously been set against not going the rescue route, I just didn't have it in me. I really, honestly tried to do the breeder thing - can't bring myself to do it. So I looked into breed...

    Looking For Input

    Hello everyone. My first time on these forums, but not my first foray into the world of dogs. :) However, I've become a little stumped, and in my quest for knowledge I've gotten conflicting information from a combination of books, online resources, and breed forums, so I was directed here by...
