Standard poodles are large dogs. Keep the coat clipped and they are not foofoo. Ignoring a poodle because of you 'masculine' is rather silly. A dog is an important part of the home environment. Standard poodles are amazingly intelligent and capable dogs. You have a long and complex list...

I think a breed is a package. I think that more then a buyer caring that a dog is put together properly the breeder should. If a breeder does not strive to deliver the complete package they are hurting the buyer. I mean looks, temperament, health, everything. Not every dog is going to be...

The Parent club decides the standard not the registration body. The registration body is there to registry the dog and keep records. *that* is what they should do. They should not try to demand that a breed does this or that. They are not breed specialists they aer supposed to be record...

Then call them and ask them to come pick her up. This is considered an emergency situation for many since part of the job is to stop suffering. They will come and pick her up. Some have mobile euth abilities to deal with this type of thing.

At least take it to the local shelter, tell them it was attacked by a dog and let them put it down if you do not want to take it to your own vet and have it put down. Don't let it suffer. Please.

There is no torture factor involved. Going to court is the right and choice and sometimes responsibility of all citizens of the US. Just because it is unpleasant it is not torturous. You can ask for court costs but claims for lost wages and pain and suffering will not qualify in this...

Its because the dog is property. The dog has been legally given over in a valid transaction. Ownership does not have a time limit. If you turn a dog in at a shelter and turn around and walk back in you can't get the dog back unless the shelter wants to give you the dog back. You can sue the...

It does sound as if this is just his way of getting a litter out of her. Co-ownerships are very strange. They are legal documents but they are not that enforceable in court. It depends on how much of a 'companion animal' vs 'property' the dog is seen at. However, when you start going into...

There seems to be a lot of reaction to fact. When I posted I expected exactly what has happened. I doubt it will happen, but for a moment pull the emotion out of the incident. A dog peed on someone and they stood up and threw the dog off of them. That is a bit different from her picking up...

While it was shocking and upsetting how your friend reacted she did not abuse the dog nor did she engage in intentional malicious harm to a companion animal or fall under any other statue. The dog peed on her, she reached and threw the dog away from her. That is really all there is to it. That...

I've had someone use one of my puppy photos for their artwork on ebay. Only the 'work' was collages of photographs and my puppy was the center photo.

I suspect the third photo is pregnant.

Pigs feet are heavy on bone and fat and low on meat. I give them but I often add a slab of meat to help smooth all that bone through the system.

As said it is about time and bit by bit. It is not a daily balance more like a weekly to bi-weekly balance. Don't burn a ton of energy trying to make sure that they have the perfectly balanced diet, it just dosn't work that way and it does not need to work that way. Diet, in anything...

That dog is not worth that money. That crop makes me cringe. It is godawful If you are willing to shell out that cash, buy a nice solid pup you can start from the beginning with or get from a multidog household.

There is no 'running' issue with afghans. If you have a tiny yard that is enough. Afghans are agile runners and turners. They are not as fast as other sighthounds but they can turn on a dime and they get a lot of pleasure out of it. They are also horribly lazy. If you keep up with their...

I gave up when a woman came up to me in PetsMart and asked when I was going to shave down Daemion becuase he had too much hair.

He needs a good grooming with an undercoat rake and a good bath. Then some omega3 fatty acids in his diet to help with the shedding and an air conditioned house the rest of the time.

If she is in season and this has only happened since she was in season and you have her in a female pad system that is probably irritating her vulva. The vulva is now very enlarged and more sensitive then normal. She may simply be reacting to the weird way that everything feels now as her...

I have... 6 females in the house and problems with 1 who hates another 1. The other 5 are all happy with each other. The one bitch who is a bitch simply gets her own time away from the 1 that she hates. She gets along with the other 4 without a hitch. Its just a personality thing, has...
