Madeline was 5 lbs at 8 weeks around 9 lbs at 5 months and she will be 8 months next week and she goes between 10 1/2 lbs to 11 lbs. I figure she has pretty well stopped growing now, she may reach 12 lbs. She grew like a weed when she was really young, the vet thought she would be 15 to 20 lbs...

Does anyone feed their dog cottage cheese, I have heard of some people putting abit of the dry dog food, does anyone do that and is there any benefit?

I have the book "How to Speak Dog" by Stanley Coren and he says that Panting and yawning can be a sign of stress. I know this is true as when Im grooming Madeline, she always starts panting and she yawns and yawns and yawns, if you put her in any stressful situation she will do this, its really...

Thank you all for your reply's, yes we are a family of five, my husband and three teenagers, but I am with Madeline all day and maybe giving her abit to much attention I guess. I do make her sit for everything and when i let both my dogs out I always let the poodle out first and give the poodle...

I have a 7 month old maltipoo and she is so jealous of other animals, we have another dog, cat and a bird, If I call the other animals, she comes running up to me growling and barking and sits right by me. She isnt showing aggression she doesnt snarl or anything she is just vocal. Tonight a...

Im not sure about dryer sheets, I have heard of people using Downey diluted with water in the last rinse of the bath to prevent fleas. But dont know if that works I have never tryed it.

Bell training is easy, they catch on very quickly well Madeline did. All you do is hang a bell on a door, doesnt really matter which door as long as where ever you are you can hear it, mine is upstairs as I have a basement home and we are upstairs mostly. All I did with Madeline is when I took...

I think alot of people are breeding these dogs just to get the best of two breeds, but its true you never know what you are going to get, but if you do like both breeds you shouldnt be dissappointed. I think it is getting a big out of hand though I can agree with you on that. I have always had...

Mostly because of the reputation they have of being aggressive, they just make me abit nervous. I know its not really the dog that has the problem its the owners that dont treat the dog right but sometimes even with good handling they can turn. My Uncle in England raised German Shepards...

I paid for my Poodle $300.00 12 1/2 years ago and My Maltipoo I payed $550.00.

As the person said before if they are doing it when they see you it probably is submissive urination. I have been very lucky with my dogs they have been crated since I got them at 8 weeks and they have never urinated in the crate and neither have any of my dogs in the past. I dont know how...

I like most dogs, but the one I would never own would be a Pitt Bull. I dont like dogs that drool either, so that included quite a few different breeds. My favorites are the smaller dogs, but thats just my personality. The one large breed I would like would be a Portugese Water Dog, but thats...

Oh so they do have poodle in them, I think they are lovely little dogs, but that is the trouble with them they are so expensive and they kinda just look like mutts, there were alot of them at the dog show, some of them looked quite scruffy looking, there was a couple of 6 month old puppies and...

I was at a Dog show on the weekend and was talking to a lady who breeds Havanese, they are registered purebreds. She was talking to my Mum and I as we were inquiring about her lovely dogs, we mentioned that we had poodles and she said that the Havanese did originate from the poodle way back...

I just got Madeline spayed yesterday, I tryed to give her the pain pill last night with peanut butter, but it was abit of a sticky mess. So I was on another forum and someone had the great idea of putting the pill inside a marshmellow, well Madeline loves marshmellows as whenever I make my...

I have a little maltipoo she just turned 6 months and is 10 lbs exactly. I know it is pretty hard to tell with mixed breeds how big they are going to be, but wondering if anyone had a rough idea. She has not really grown that much in the last couple of months, she was 9 lbs at christmas so has...

Must not forget my little old Licorice:

Here are a few of Madeline:

Its really hard they sell puppies in a few pet stores around my area. They sell very quickly, every week pretty much there are new ones in there. I think people find it really hard to resist, I dont know how many times Ive gone in these stores and gone and looked at them and really wanted one...

Yes I may start looking in the rescue, I dont think there are many maltese to be rescued though, but I will look. The breeder from here emailed me back yesterday, she said most of the good breeders have retired now, she only breeds every 2 to 3 years and usually only has a couple of pups, so if...
