Lance asked:


His name is Willy. He’s about 2 1/2 years old. I have another dog that’s half Dachshund and half Cocker Spaniel. She’s about 5 1/2 years old. They’ve always, always been friends. Well, not so much when I first got Willy because he wanted to nuzzle on a teat and Squirt wasn’t mom.

But, both of these dogs are fixed. Willy was fixed at about 6 months old. Now, two years later, it seems like he’s depressed. Can dogs suffer from depression? My vet say’s no, and I’ve spent over $200 on tests and they say everything is fine.

I think my dachshund is depressed. Is that possible?

I already have a 2 year old Dachshund and I am looking into getting a Chihuahua. Would these dogs get along or does it depend on the dog? Also do Chihuahuas get along with bigger dogs like a Golden Retrevier?

My 6 month AB/Lab mix LOVES going to the dog park. We take her a couple times a week. But my husband wants to take her more often, I’m personally afraid she will pick up bad habits.

I have heard other dog owners say that their dog has become defensive or aggressive after incidents at a dog park. She has such a sweet and mild tempermant now and I worry she will change having too much interaction with some of these dogs. What do you think?

I am considering buying a “bandog”. I also have children the ages of 7 and 5. Does anyone have an opinion as to if these dogs are good with children. Also how would you compare them with the american bulldog? Any help would be great. Also would anyone personally recommend any breeders in the south east louisiana area.

I know the cost of a purebred chihuahuas has probably increased with the appearance of the tacobell dog a few years ago and Paris Hilton using them as a statis symbol. But when you want one just to love and hug, Just for a pet why do you have to go into debt? Pet quality non-breeding (spayed and neutered) chihuahuas are no better than a mutt, really. I am just curious. I will probably go to the local humane society and adopt a small cute dog. It is just that there was always a chihuahuas around when I was growing up and I thought I’d like to have one now. But I can’t go into that much debt.
I have learned (in Canada) most breeders spay or neuter the chihuahuas before selling them and they are still asking from $1200.00 to $2000.00. I have contacted 2 Rescue Shelters and they are selling these chihuahuas for $1200.00. I am not looking for a show quality dog. I am looking for a pet. Only a pet. I do not want to mortgage my house either. For the price breeders are asking for a “fixed” dog is rediculous. I mean they are no longer show quality. They can not be used for breeding. There valu other than a statis symbol is “0″. I am not looking for a statis symbol. or a shiny object to place on my finger. I just want a pet. Chihuahuas were a family pet when I was growing up. I can tell you we paid no more that $200.00 then. I just find this pricing for a dog you just want to love is silly.
I agree. If these dogs are show quality dogs then ask the $1200 to $2000 price.

But once you spay or neuter them (most breeders in Canada seem to do this) there is no monitary value left for the dog. It is just a fixed dog. Worthless.

I am not saying that it isn’t difficult to breed these little guys. And I don’t care that you spay or neuter them. I don’t mind reimbursing the breeder for the neutering, and first shots and a little something extra for actually breeding the pup. But to ask $1200.00 for a non-breeding, unshowable dog is …. well just crazy. I don’t mean to argue the point. But as yet I haven’t seen an answer that best answers my question. Why are breeders asking $1200.00 to $2000.00 for a non-breeding already spayed/neutered, unshowable dog?

There is nothing cuter than a puppy but have you considered the type of puppy that you want gamboling around in your home? With so many dog breeds to be found you should see which of these dogs will be very faithful to you. Well this question is easy to answer. The German Shepard puppy can be trained to be not just a companion but to also for the various tasks that you may have.

While you can look at these German Shepard puppies with an idea to buying them you will need to choose your puppy carefully as hereditary breeding has caused health problems. These health problems are hip and elbow dysplasia, digestive problems, epilepsy, chronic eczema, dwarfism, flea allergies and keratitis. To ensure that you are choosing a German Shepard puppy that is free from all of these problems you should contact a breeder who will be able to provide you with a certified assurance of your puppy’s health.

Since these puppies are very friendly and eager to learn you should take care to train them so that you have a German Shepard puppy who is obedient as well as capable of learning new things. One of the best ways to make sure that your new puppy learns what you want is to train the puppy outside. This way you can take the time to see that your puppy’s health is kept well.

While it is true that almost all puppies love playing and going for walks, the German Shepard puppy is a puppy who will thrive with this activity. The walks can be used to train your puppy to have good social behavior when you meet strangers. There is one very important item which needs to be addressed when you are beginning the training of your puppy.

The German Shepard puppy is a very intelligent animal. Without any activity to keep the puppy fully occupied you will have on your hands a destructive puppy. This destructive tendency can be reduced if you begin the correct training and handling of the puppy. You should make sure that you are training your puppy with lots of patience, firm but gentle handling and lots of love.

When you are thinking about the grooming which is entailed with this breed of dog you will find a dog type that is relatively easy to groom. You will need to brush out the coat of the German Shepard puppy on a daily basis. Other than this your puppy will need to have a bath only about twice a year. More than this amount will cause your puppy’s skin to loose its protective skin oil.

Even though there are many different breeds of puppies that you can think about getting, the German Shepard puppy is one who will provide you with loyalty and companionship all through its life.

Nettie asked:


Please tell me..I feel so angry when I read that a 5 month old baby has been mauled and killed by one of these dogs. What do you think and what should people who own one of these dog do to prevent these sort of things happening again? You cannot possibly blame the dog, the responsibilty must lie with the owners.
It’s not the case of being smart. And I do not like your attitude it is inappropriate in this context..so bxxgger off.
