labrador retriever
Rico asked:


I want to get a puppy and the labrador is my favorite because they are so smart and lovable. I can give it an active lifestyle but live in an urban setting and travel alot. If I could just shrink one down to about the size of a springer spaniel. Can anyone suggest a similar breed to consider? Woof.

greatest american dog
Mike asked:


What would you do? I love him and he is a great dog. We watched the Gulf War on TV together and even watched desperate housewives. We have been through alot together and he is a true American and supports GWB on the war on the Arabs. Should I put him out of his misery?

Poodle
Susan asked:


I have grown up with poodles. About two years ago, we adopted a new male poodle after ours passed away from cancer. He is a sweet baby, but we are still having a problem with him peeing on everything. At first we thought, he was marking his territory, but he’s the only animal in the house & has been since we got him. He has enough allergies & asthma (breathing problems) that the vet is afraid he will die if he is given anesthesia to be neutered, so I am looking for other ideas.
I have had 2 different vets say they don’t feel comfortable performing the neuter surgery on him.

Also, we take him out after he eats & he goes to the bathroom, but at random times, we’ll notice he’s left the room & then we find it in another room. (He also does it while we’re asleep at night, even though he gets to go out to the yard just before bed & first thing in the morning.)

dog fleas ticks
mikegfx8 asked:


My dog has been having fleas and ticks on him but we don’t know how to completely remove them from the backyard. The yard doesn’t have too much grass, the majority is dirt. What is the best solution for removing them?

German Shepherd
Courtney S asked:


I have a German Shepherd pup(who by the way does great in her crate now, thanks to all that helped), and I was wondering if the notorious GSD stance could be taught or is it something that just comes naturally to them? I see pictures of pups that are weeks old already doing that stance. How can I have my pup stand like that sometimes?
If they are taught, how can I teach mine?

dog training
attitudeismoney asked:


Our Beagle is currently 13 pounds and should top out around 25 pounds. We want to let him run in the yard without spending $300 to install the fence and etc. We also want to use it as a training tool in the house and when we go to visit friends.
Just to clarify. I am looking for suggestions for a remote control training collar. I want to let the dog run free in the yard without him getting run over if he wanders into the street. I also wish to use the collar when we travel to dog parks and etc.

What brand and model number would you suggest?

greatest american dog
Meghan H asked:


I have 2 american shorthaired cats both around 15 lb and one Itallian Greyhound around 18 lb (but he’s very tall 17″ or so). I will be moving to Italy for two years and so I must bring them with me. Please give me the requirements that I must meet to bring them. also If you know of any helpful hints for traveling with pets they would be great!!! the dog (Jackie) is a good traveler and so is one of the cats (Seven Colors), unfortunatly the eldest cat (Miss.Kitty) crys even when we go to the vets a few blocks away. I really don’t want to use sedatives because I hear there really bad, what can I do to calm her down? I don’t want her to be a hassel to the others on the plane. There is no quarantine to Italy (last I knew) but what papers and vaccines do they all need? It’s a 9hr flight there and then a car ride to where we will be living, obviously my pets can’t hold there water that long, but I have a neat Idea for the cats, the dog however I’m unsure about. Thank you!!!!
Thank you all so far, any ideas or openions on sedation (good, bad, do this instead) and an area for Jackie to relive himself would be great!!!
