Thanks for your answer Jenna, I guess anyone wanting a puppy from a reputable breeder is going to have to do studying and waiting. good luck finding your puppy.

Alvin and Felix why do you suggest starting after a year?? New resuearch suggests starting as early as 4-6 months can make a big difference in the maintenance of your pets cartilidge in the long term.

Jenna, largely I agree with what you have said. But when you say, "A puppy from awesome parents is a puppy from awesome parents, no matter the kennel name", while that is true, I also don't want my $$ going towards a person I don't agree with. BYBs sometimes manage to get a pair from good breeders.. good breeders no matter how careful always may make a mistake. That doesn't mean that I'm ok to support anyone like...

I think a urine check wouldn't be unwarranted once the holiday is over. As Jess mentioned, it could be a kidney or urinary tract issue. However, Tanuk has also always been obsessed with water, and I've noticed him really going at it lately too. Like your husband, mine assumes I just got used to it and then it kinda popped back into my notice. Go figure, silly boys. P.S. I do believe I've heard that increased protein causes...

Have you tried a bland chicken and rice diet? No skin on the chicken and no fat......Good Luck!

That is why I do titers on my dogs after they receive their adult shots. But in the 20+ years I have worked for a vet we have never seen a vaccine induced sarcoma on either a dog or cat.

I have to disagree with Jessica. Don't stop giving him the medication. Toes by their very location are subject to being infected. A course of antibiotics to keep that from happening is a good idea.

Glad to hear you got such great news I hope that everything goes wonderfully Edited by author Tue Nov 24, '09 2:23pm PST

it started with a white lump over dandy's eye. after a couple days, i noticed he'd rubbed the fur off around his eye and the sclera was very red. i thought that was odd but didn't think anything of it since there's not a lot to be done for styes except wait them out and keep the area clean (which he was doing). a couple days later, however, i woke up to find his eyes red and puffy and crusted with big, green oozy yuck and...

"IF dandy turns out to be just a cool - but basically ordinary - dog" I'll tell you this now, so you can save some time... Dandy isn't super dog, He can't fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes, and he's not going to save you if your house is on fire. There he is your cool - but basically ordinary - DOG. He's a mix - a mutt - He's cute, yeah! BEING CUTE ISN'T A REASON TO BREED YOUR DOG!! Chloe's...
