There are lots of good feeds out there. Pick the one that makes you happy and go with it. I think the thing that bothers me about this thread is the title "forget everything you thought you knew about feeding". It's down right condescending and insulting. Yes, there was good info in the interview, b...

The outbreak appears to be centered around horses that went to the big NCHA cutting in Utah. A great many of the horse events in the effected states have been cancelled or postponed for at least the next couple of weeks. I personally would not let my horses off my property or any new animals on unti...

sounds like a pretty typical puppy to me. they go thru phases where they seem to have the potty thing figured out, then they seem to have no clue. crate him when not 100% supervised. put him out after he eats, drinks, wakes up or finishes playing. use a leash if necessary, take him to the designated...

if you are gonna breed, roofs, mesh or cattle panels on top is an absolute MUST. If you have girls coming to your stud dog, you certainly don;t want to explain to an owner that "she got out and disappeared" or "she climbed over the top into the pen with the wrong stud". We had a bitch come 3 separat...

Kiddo (8 months) tends to be a pest in the evenings. I like to sit in my computer chair and surf while watching (or ignoring) the TV. I keep a leash attached to the arm or the chair and when i get tired of his antics, I snap him on it... he lays down immediately and sacks out. It's like Kiddo is pu...

I don;t see any correlation between cuddling a dog and having a dog jump up on you. My dogs are companions as much as anything... they sleep on my bed, cuddle on the couch, and live with us 99% of the time. They only stay in the kennels when we want to go into town sans dog... That said, I can't sta...

OFA scores hips against a hypothetical standard. PENN HIP rates against other dogs of the same breed. If you have a "rare" breed, there might not be much of sample to compare to for a PENN HIP. If you have a dog from a breed that is notorious for poor hip joint conformation... you might have the bes...

I had hoped that a vet would jump in here... I would call your vet tomorrow morning and see what he/she says, but if it were my dog I would wait. Things inside are swollen and blood engorged, better to wait until she is out of heat and the risks go down.

Musher's Secret is amazing~ you might have to mail order it from the US. For the rest of their coat I use a horse product... Show Sheen or Vetrolin Shine to keep the ice balls from building up so bad in their fur

I currently feed TOTW. I have one picky eater that would not hold weight on ProPlan. I just flat could not get her to consume enough of it regularly enough. She inhales her TOTW and the other two do very well on it as well. I have one that has a sensitive stomach that I was putting Probios on daily ...

Crate her if you need to when she comes in heat... let her go thru that first cycle before spaying. First heat is commonly between 8 and 15 months in my experience. That heat cycle triggers hormones that tell the bones when to stop growing...

You might want to have her checked for a UTI.

most of the inexpensive ecollars are just flat JUNK! Get a decent single dog collar from DT or Tritronics and be done with it. The cheap collars dont work well to start with and fall apart in notime. The companies don;t stand behind their products and you have lost your money... for the price of a c...

I recently flew from SoCal to NJ to pick up a pup from Karen and her co-breeder. Had a great time getting to know Karen (we had never met in person) and seeing the litter and parents. Flew back with the pup under the seat as a carry on. He was good as gold for the entire flight. I have bought dogs a...

In the winter when there is no grass to be found, mine even nibble a bit of the horse's (grass) hay. Sometimes they upchuck it, sometimes they don;t... I don;t pay much attention to it. It obviously fill some need they have.

I much prefer to have my dogs eat their food when it is offered to them (either once or twice) daily. When your dog eats for one or two days then turns their nose up at the food for a couple of days (or more), you run the risk of a dog running out of energy when they really need it. I regulate their...

A choke chain and a basic obedience class. Just opt not to teach the sit... A dog that won;t walk nicely on a leash is a PITA (Pain In The A$$) to have around. They all need to learn some basic manners.

Fireside

Dogs like people have likes and dislikes. No matter how "good" or expensive the food is, there will be dogs that don;t like it or won't do well on it. Try some different quality feed and find one that your dog likes and provides the nutrition he needs.

Fireside

I really appreciate they way they show several different dogs being worked...and that the dogs are at the level of the lesson, not a finished dog they they are using for video purposes. Some dogs do better than other and they specifically show how to bring those dogs along, not just show the lesson ...

I have had labs for pushing 30 years now. It is my profound opinion that most labradors would LIKE to weigh 450 lbs.... but should weigh 65-85 lbs. Swimming as mentioned before is a great exercise to peel weight off while protecting joints. Since most labs adore water, its not to difficult to get th...

I have and "impulse" mutt at home that guards the yard and livestock... is that good enough? A college kid was giving him away in front of WalMart.

If you have made the decision to neuter him, that is your business and no one else gets a vote... he is your dog. That said, I HIGHLY recommend waiting until he is physically mature. Neutered dogs have the potential to grow larger due to the lack of testosterone (telling the bone growth to stop). Th...

As long as he isn't severely undersized, and he vet checks out healthy.. I wouldn't worry at all about the "runt" thing. He will probably catch up over the next month or two.

Don't ever give up on seeing your guns again... my bro-in-law got a gun back this spring that had been stolen from his home in CA in 1980. It was recovered in KY... he got a call from the dept asking if he wanted it back.

some great suggestions allready. I would add the following items to the list as well:

a couple of rolls of vet wrap (from the local horse/feed store)
some large and small gauze or non-stick pads
a couple of heavy women's menstrual pads
and I add a small suture kit
