Folks, I need some help. Our 6 month old Buddy (yellow lab) is a great dog. But he has a very hard time settling down. He gets into moods where he does not respond to commands (sit, down), barks incessantly, and when we make a move toward him, he runs to get us to chase him. Obviously this is...

From: Doesn't necessarily mean anything, or at least not what it's represented to mean. I could describe Solo's pedigree the same way, but he isn't a well bred dog. Okay, so tell me what we should be looking for, cuz I don't get it. If I can't trust Border Collie...

We have a new chocolate lab who is 13 weeks old. She's really good at night in the crate as long as we run and play for about an hour or so to exhaust her before bed. I'm currently at home during the day and need to crate her so that I can run errands and just do basic daily tasks. The problem...

I recently heard about a newer breed of dog called a Labradoodle, a mix between a Lab and a Poodle, and I was wanting to find out if anyone knows of any good breeders. Also how much would a puppy cost?

I was out sorting out some moss on the lawn the other day (OK- so very English, I know...), and young H was snuffling about watching. So I showed him that I was pulling out the mossy stuff as it was horrid, and we threw some in the air. After killing a bit, he got a wrinkly forehead & sat & watched...

My friend's dog was hit by a car last week. Her rear leg was badly injured. They tried to save it but the bone just isn't healthy enough. She's due for amputation the day after tomorrow (Sept 2). My friend is a basket case. Can anyone tell me what she should expect. This is a medium size...

Jack says using a choker or e-collar is the Only way to train. Excuse me, Leah, but here's a way for you to earn a stake to put towards your new (ad)venture. If you can find where I've ever said anything even remotely resembling Obviously the choke chain method is not the only way to...

I mentioned some of this in the first discussion, and some in private email; but people are still responding to my initial message, and there's a lot of discussion to wade through. So here is the latest. I've been spending time with Koko, myself. I've been working lots of overtime, so I often...

We recently adopted a stray border collie/lab mix that showed up lost at my dad's house. His Newfoundland attacked her with full intentions to kill her. We were not able to locate her owners and she couldn't stay at my dad's. She seems to be very intelligent and well trained. She usually...
