I have some bad news for you. 1.) This isn't a friendly place to ask about breeding. But, more important, if these are things you don't know, you probably shouldn't be breeding. It's nothing personal. But, it takes a LOT of knowledge to breed correctly. For one, a female shouldn't be bred for at LEA...

I can't speak for the dogs....but that KID looks a little squirrelly!
She has that same look my daughter gets....right before she decides she wants to wash her feet in the sink or paint her new masterpiece on the playroom floor!

My Chows have ALWAYS laid together like that, leaving a giant CHOW PILE to step over in the night. At some point, they will separate and move to a cooler hard floor for a while. But, they always start their rests in a pile. They will ALLOW the cat or one of the other dogs to lay near them, but it's ...

And this mentality leads to the whole problem we are facing now. People getting Chow puppies, screwing them up and then dumping them off, then getting another puppy to start the whole cycle all over. Condemning all adults as "somebody else's problem" is wrong and misleading. I never said ...

I might get lynched, but for a first Chow, I'd advise getting a puppy. You have a bit more control over how it turns out. There are lots of rescued puppies. Believe me, it can be tough to adapt to having a dog all on it's own and trying to overcome other people's mistakes can be tough too. I've pers...

I think it is stupid to even say what kind of dog it is when it is a mix that bites. That puts a false statistic to BSL and just ups the number of bites for that breed. That goes for any breed. If it is a mix, then call it that. A MIXED BREED DOG bit/killed someone...... I agree. It was only a few ...

All I know is, I find it EXTREMELY suspect that anyone can have two dogs a year old of ANY that from no fault of her own turn vicious....and kill their owner. It would be different if they hurt someone else. The UPS man or traveling salesmen. (Gosh, I WISH my dogs were vicious enough to even scare a...

WOW! There's a LOT of information missing from that article. I don't want to blame the woman for her own death, but something is iffy here.

You know, my husband's grandfather brought me a rose bush once. He told me where to plant it and how to take care of it and kept speaking of these orange colored roses it would produce. It didn't do anything the first year. The second year, it didn't grow those orange roses either....it grew RASPBER...

Yeah, I guess I left out the part where my daughter was passed out from suffocation because the dog had been laying on her. Sushi likes to act kind of like a Boa Constrictor. Soon after she was unconscious, she was eaten whole...head first.

I can't speak to keeping a puppy for a year. I'm not sure I could do that. I certainly couldn't now that we have kids. I can think of a lot of ways it would be GOOD for them, but that doesn't mean I could do it to them. But, I can speak for regular fostering. And it wasn't really all that hard. You ...

PROOF FINALLY! CHOWS + KIDS Equal BAD Things

There seems to be some debate on WHO exactly my daughter belongs to. And who is best suited to watch out for her. I'm constantly "interrogated" by both her and Tofu if my daughter spends the night away...as if I might have sent her off to a work camp. Then, tonight, we were all watching TV...

And some roses are just too stubborn to be trained to climb up trellises no matter how many times you tell them to "roll over". :wink: Tofu does training though. He thinks he's a lab/beagle mix. He sits and stays and shakes all sorts of fun "doggy" things. And he went to a puppy ...

Wait a minute, I'm new here, but I'm assuming if he's in a PUPPY class then he's a PUPPY, right? I might take a couple of minutes to ponder the safety of letting a full grown something loose in a group of puppies, but NOT a puppy. I think I'd ask her if she had any actual training in this field.

In Prunedale, CA, it is illegal to have two indoor bathtubs in your house.
Any word on how many OUTDOOR ones you can have? I was planning on relocating and really wanted to keep bathing in the front yard.
