Excited that we just purchased our first home, we would like to fence about 2 acres. We have begun discussing fencing, when we built our current fence when lumber prices were low, but feel that lumber is too expensive to go the same route, and would like to try an underground or wireless fence. What...

Dog does not seem to be itching, some of the hair has grown back.

They have done 2 scrapes of the area, and nothing was there.

So we made another trip to the vets office for hair patches thinning on my 1 year old gsp..he told us that it wasn't mange and just a bacterial infection. Since the antibiotic cream (Neosporin) didn't make the thinning any worse he asked that we continue using the Neosporin for another 10 days. I'm ...

Thanks for the replies, I will be bringing her to the vet.

My GSP has been acting strange for about 5 days now, including excessive licking, crying at night, whitish discharge and our neutered GSP has begun trying to hump her. I also had an intact strange dog show up the first day that I noticed her acting strange. Adding up the changes it looks like heat.....

I have used the tread mill and get him out to the field for running, he is has really begun to develop his scense of smell, and it's great to know in the snow he can't rely on on sight in the snow..we aren't doing any field tests, just foot hunting.

So I'm still new to the forum..but curious to see what everyone does in the off season to keep dogs in shape. I'm sure someone else out there has snow.

I had the same problem with my pup, he is easily excited by just seeing the leash..I took 5 minutes several times a day leading my dog around the yard (we have a large yard) with the choke collar, slowly added in longer walks and lots of praise when not pulling. Now at 6.5 months I have seen much im...
