What exactly is the difference between a rescue society dedicated to a specific breed of canine and me who adopts from shelters? What is it that makes adopters of purebreds "rescuers" ? My (3) dogs come EXCLUSIVELY from shelters. Are my dogs not "rescued" ? Or is it just snobbery about purebreds?

There's a nice article yesterday's Washington Post on thinking about expensive medical treatments for dogs. A particularly nice quote: "A dog is a dog, which turns out to be more than enough." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A30131-2004Aug24.html -- Melinda Shore - Software longa,...

Hi We rescued a young (11months old) female rottweiler/beauceron cross bred, about two months ago from our local dog pound. We chose her because at the pound when all mayhem was breaking out she stayed very calm. She is very gentle and is great with our young children (1 year and two years)....

There may be some tips and methods to teach a dog to "heel" in the other thread but it has gone so far off-topic and has so many exchanges of unpleasantries that I think a new topic is appropriate. I posted some links to videos there and I'll repeat them he Videos from "Amazing Dog Training...

What generalizations are safe to make about Pitties? Is there a site or pamphlet that encapsulates information you'd deem accurate? It's my job to 'promote' volunteers from walking easy dogs to stronger ones, which includes, of course, the PBs. It would be handy to have something brief to clue...

Dice. http://www.green-bean.com/bcrescue/dogimages/regular/100/45.Heidi3.jpg She has those spots all over her body, the ones on the inside of her front legs are red. I told the rescue folks that if she didn't work out for me, I'd foster her til she found a home. While she's not exactly what I...

Hi, About a week ago we got an 8 week old Bichon Frise. He is adorable and full of energy, but his eating habits are troubling us. When he got here, he went two days without eating anything. The breader has given us some of the dry food she had been using and told us to continue using it and...

Thanks in advance for your time and help.... Two weeks ago I adopted a 5-6 month old female IG (italian greyhound) from a rescue organization. "Lacy" had not been fed by her former 'owners' for some weeks when the foster home got her, only 2 days prior to my adopting her. She has been great with...

Hello. I am considering getting a dog. Brother in law has some puppies, a month old, the mom is a very very tame dog. The mom is half chihuahua and half pug, not sure what the dad is, I think similar. Very well behaved. I have two children, a girl 7 years old and a boy 5 years old. Both have...
