What Do You Think Of This?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Right, here I go.
So my best friend has a 6 year old English Cocker Spaniel (Maizie), to a doggy person it is clear to see that this dog has issues, it is snappy and stubborn with my friend and has some very bad behavioural/possibly pack ranking problems, however my friends mum sees very little fault with her and thinks she is a great dog. Now that isn’t my problem, this is!
So my friend text me a few weeks back saying that they were getting a puppy. My Instant response was,
where from?
what breed?
what sex?
Wow! From my mums friend, its a mongrel and it’s a girl.
I said, ‘do you think Maizie will take well to another female puppy?’, my friends response was, ‘probably not, Maizie will probably kill it but my mum said, she’s not having any ”willies” in this house.
I left the conversation topic there and moved onto something else.
Fair enough, if they want another dog they can get another dog, although it did baffle my mum and I as to what Maizie would think of it and also because they are going on holiday end of July, where is the puppy supposed to go??
Well, it gets worse. My friend phoned me up the other day and told me her mum wanted to get another puppy, and they were. I assumed it was from the same litter, but oh no, I was wrong. Another friend had Greyhound/Whippet puppies, surprise surprise, they were getting a *****. I said to her, ‘you must be mad. Not even I, a dog crazy orientated person who is knowledgeable on the species would ever get two puppies at the same time!!’ She told me it was three weeks old and she’d been to visit it that day. I asked her when they were getting the new dogs and she said in about two weeks ‘NO!!’ I told her this was very unwise and to wait until the puppy is atleast 8 weeks old to prevent behavioural problems.
To some it up, they currently have a temprimental cocker who is very possessive over her owner. Two people who know little about dogs (my friend couldn’t care less if they had a dog or not) and the family are out from 7.30am-5.00pm, during this time the three dogs will be left. Oh and because they think my dogs are so well trained they have asked me to help with training because they wont be taking them to training classes. They are not doggy people, their dog has to fit in with their lives and they don’t make compromises for Maizie, which means she doesn’t get daily exercise. My friends nan is also suffering from alziemers and so is living bed ridden in their house with them.
What would you do?
Maybe I’m over reacting because I would love to have three dogs.
Is this really bad?
Oh I don’t know what to say to my friend or anything?
Any advice would be welcomed, thank you.
Has This Ever Happened To You As A Dog Owner?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Yesterday I was put in an awkward situation when I had my 8 month old Dachshund pup in a local Tackle and Pet Supply store.
My boyfriend and I stopped at our favorite pet supply store with our Dachshund and Greyhound/Boxer mix. This is a store that we frequent about 3 times a month for supplies (sometimes just to get the dogs out especially in winter) Both of our dogs have been going there since they were puppies and finished their shots, and both dogs are very obediant and quiet in the store. The people who work there know us, and love seeing us come in with the dogs. This was a trip to treat them to some fresh bully sticks before a long road trip we have coming up.
Anyways here is my issue and what happened. My dachshund and I were in one Aisle picking out treats while my boyfriend and our mutt were looking at new collars. A lady with a little girl from about 2 aisles across the store came stamping at us and proceeded to tell me to get that heathen of a dog out of the store, it was a danger and menace to all of the customers. I looked down at my Dachshund to find him still sitting quietly at the position I put him at and waiting intently for me to tell him to come on, and I assumed she had saw the larger dog who looks kind of bullyish and was worried irrationally because of that. I assured her that the mix was fine, has been through training, and she didn’t have to worry. She THEN begins to tell me its not our mix she is worried about but our dachshund! And started to tell me that there is no such thing as a good dachshund.
I understand they can be snippy if provoked and thats why I spent such a large amount of money on my dog for buying from a breeder who has bred for health and temperament as well as had the dog being socialized from a VERY young age and been working through classes with him.
Has anyone else been questioned about their dog or offended by someone who didn’t understand when you had a dog that wasn’t typically viewed as a potential threat. (Or if your a “dangerous” dog owner what absurdities have you had to endure.!)
Is This The Wrong Reason To Get A Dog And If It’s Not What Breed Should I Get?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Well I’ve been planning on owning two Cavaliers for when I become a grown adult, and I just realized that I might not be to safe! I don’t know exactly when I’ll be getting married, and a single woman is a pretty vulnerable target, if you know what I mean. So, I’ve been thinking I want to rescue one of these breeds:
Greyhound- I’d love to rescue one from a Greyhound Racing Rescue place, they’re so elegant. My one question though is how old do you expect to get these dogs if you rescue them from there?
Rottweiler- I’ve always loved this breed, and I really want to rescue one. My main question for this breed though is training available through obedience classes for this dog?
Brittany- I also want to rescue a Brittany, and my question for this breed is if it’s even a good guard dog?
So please take the time to answer the questions above and also answer if I’m getting a larger dog for the right reasons. I’d love this dog to death, don’t get me wrong. And have any other breed suggestions?
Thanks!
Why Would My Dog Do This??
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
My dog just got in from her evening walk,all things seemingly normal. She then came into the livingroom and peed right in the middle of a rug. She is 2 years old and an italian greyhound. I thought she knew better than this ,especially since she had just been out. there have been no strange animals in the house and nothing odd happened today. What would cause a fixed female dog who is house trained to do this? She does this about every other month-Could she just be not very smart?
What’s The Right Dog For Me As My Second Dog? Where Are Quizzes For This?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Well, I already have a wonderful furry companion, but she REALLY needs a friend. I love her SO much, she’s SUCH a great dog. I’ve been wanting to get a big dog for a while, but I own an Italian Greyhound so I’m guessing I need to keep a dog around her size to play with her.
I was going to get a puppy, but I don’t want to have to go through that training and waking up multiple hours of the night. It’s definitely like having a baby and I already did that once w/ my little girl and she’s now 2 years old and very well behaved. So I was thinking of adopting a dog that’s no more than 2 years old.
I live in an apartment, near parks and take my dog for at least ONE long walk a day and outside whenever she needs to go. She’s really a couch potato and the sweetest thing who loves everyone.
I’m looking for a dog her size that can play with her.
So I need one that will be ok w/ where I live and how I live and not have TOO much energy, but just enough so that’s it’s playful.
I HATE lots of barking, like a terrier, they drive me NUTS. My dog goes out on the balcony for like 15 minutes and barks and that’s all the barking she does all day.
I’d like a dog that’s easier to train and willing to please.
I also want one that really bonds with me and my boyfriend, but won’t hurt people by being possessive of us.
So what kind of dogs should I look into?
Also, are there any good online quizes for this?
THOROUGH answers REALLY appreciated.
Dog Experts, What Do You Think Of This Breed?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Hey…
I’m finally getting a puppy next week, and after a long search for the
perfect breed, I decided to go with a little-known breed that’s been
around for 150 years, and is recognized by the National Kennel Club and rumored to be the most likely next addition to the AKC due to its
rapidly increasing popularity. It is called a Texas Lacy (also known as
a “Texas Game Dog”).
It comes in three color patterns: Blue Lacy, Red Lacy, and Tri-Color Lacy.
For a great photo of a Blue Lacy, which is the color I’m getting, click here…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_lacy
Texas Lacy’s are becoming popular for several reasons: one is because
they’re considered the smartest breed on earth, even moreso than the
better-known brilliance of the Border Collie. Another is their functionality. Their lineage is a 3-way cross between a greyhound,
a redbone hound, and a coyote…the coyote in it makes it a great
hunter, the greyhound makes it remarkably athletic, and the redbone
makes it renowned bloodtracker…and therefore it’s a dog you can
train to do darn near anything. Finally, it’s considered to be one of the longest lived and healthiest dogs on earth due to very responsible limited breeding. Lacy’s commonly live to see 15, and have been known to see 20, and remain relatively mobile until the very end. And
one truly bizarre ability; Lacy’s can even climb trees to its low branches…a skill it evolved after years of breeding towards squirrel
hunting.
But I’m writing this because, there is SO LITTLE INFORMATION online
about this dog. I had to speak with 20 breeders in person before I
learned the history of this remarkable dog. Lacy breeders are a
very secretive bunch; most require interviews before granting a puppy,
and are militant about the owner intending to either actively heard with,
or hunt with, the dog.
Do ANY of you know any more info about this dog? It’s amazing how
few “experts” even know of this breed, let alone have interacted with it.
But then again, it’s a breed that’s kept a very low profile in the rural
Texas-hill country for 150 years until recently, so that might be why
so few people realize what a gem it is.

Why Would My Dog Do This?!?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
Chocolate lab/greyhound mix– really beautiful dog. 11 months old. House trained. Hasn’t had an accident in over 3 months, and that was a random, one time occurrence.
Yesterday, she ran with my husband (while he was mountain biking) for an hour, then she was exhausted & well behaved the rest of the day. She had obedience class yesterday from 5-6. Then at 7:15 we had some friends over for dinner. We took her out to use the bathroom at about 6:45. Then my husband & I were running around frantically trying to straighten up the house. We put her in her crate soon after our friends came because she seemed a little skittish. After they left, I was going to bed and there was a huge, cold urine stain right in the center of my white bed spread.
Why the sudden lapse in house-breaking? She’d been an angel all day & we’d given her adequate opportunities to use the bathroom.
