I noticed when I gave him a couple of Brewers yeast tablets early tonight he started this deep deep cough as if he is choking. It's been going on for about four to five hours now. Any ideas what this could be?

Okay now that I have a Min Pin, I've started to get interested in Miniature Pinscher coat color genetics. In the AKC standard, there are 4 allowed colors.

I recently adopted a 7 year old Chihuahua. She is simply the best dog ever, but I am concerned that if I give her her way at night she might smother to death. Every night when she hops in bed with me, she wants to crawl as far and deep under the covers as she can. I am very cold natured and...
