suz1000 I think its very sad that the one look you really love on his face is one youve put there by yelling at him :o( Sorry but I would be mortified to put that look on my dogs face by yelling at her.

suz1000 Yes I do, and I actively encourage it, but on my terms, she loves to come under the covers for a cuddle, but she wont just shove her way in she always asks or waits to be invited in.

I am planning to have a dog in my house which color would be good?

4 responses

suz1000 You never choose a dog by its coulour. YOu choose for every other reason BUT that. You choose a breed on temperment and what it was bred for, determining how it will fit into your lifestyle. If your only requirement is the right colour then toy shops do...

suz1000 I agree on some points, however Labradors are not the most intelligent breed. Border Collies are follwed by German Shepherds. Infact a dogs intelligence in a breed is always measured against a BOrder Collies. They do indeed make good working dogs not just...

suz1000 The tick isnt eating the dogs flesh but sucking the blood, if you leave them long enough they will eventually suck so much bloody they just drop off. However this isnt advisable as they can carry some nasty dieseases dangerous to both dogs and humans. So the...

Should a dog be put down after biting a child? Your thoughts?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 4 Oct 07

I was working on the pediatrics unit yesterday. We admitted a child who had been bitten on the face by his uncle's dog. The dog lives next door to the child and the two have 'known' each other since the dog was a pup. The dog had...

suz1000 It depends on the circumstances NO dog bites for no reason, its just as humans we tend to miss it we miss the warning signs andwe miss why the dog eventually bites. However once the dog has bitten the child it does cal into question how safe it is to have the...

Rileys_Mom07 @Rileys_Mom07 (81) • United States 31 May 08

Have you ever had a dag that bit you? When I was growing up we had a miniature Schnauzer that was so sweet until she had puppies. After she had puppies she became very territorial and would start to snap and bite at people. She...

suz1000 Unfortunately yes, however it does occasionally happen in my line of work. I have only recieved three bites in about 8 years of work and all three were from dogs who were ill or in pain. So understandable. I do find its the unpredictable ones we have to watch...

suz1000 While I can understand the logic behind these, they really are not as good as they sound. Yes sure its great if the dog has an accident it makes for the puppy pad, but all you are doing is having to train the dog twice, you train it to go on the puppy pads and...

Cutting your dog's vocal cords???

betsyraeduke @betsyraeduke (2669) • United States 1 Jun 08

I heard that some people have their dog's vocal cords cut to keep them from barking. Is this true? Do some people really have this done to their pet? Maybe it's just me, but this sounds cruel to me. What are your thoughts on...

suz1000 It is incredibly cruel. Do we do that to our children just because they talk to much? No we just teach them that sometimes they have to be quiet. Doing that to a dog is sheer laziness when trainign the dog not to bark on cue is easier and quicker painless and...
