I will adopt one at the beginning of August Sounds like you are BUYING a dog, not "adopting" a dog. we are absolutely certain we want a beautiful Chow To find breeders of merit who sell purebred chows and who adhere to a code of ethics you can contact the Canadian Kennel club or the Chow ...

I've never had that problem with ANY of our dogs, or cats, on purina. Whether you';ve had problems or not, doesn't negate the very well known fact that the food is extremely low quality food by any stretch of the word - and your argument is a very typical response from people who try to justify the...

You can easily follow a raw regime, which would be healthiest, all you have to do is grind the food.
You can often pick up really good meat grinders on freecycle or on ebay.
There 's nothing stopping you from cooking either. Simply grind up the food.

School her. I really learned how to walk my dog at school. It's actually more for people than for dogs

Thank you! Just... thank you.
That's where people should go to get educated. There is no excuse and there is no suitable alternative.

Oh, you disagree with me! I'm not disagreeing with you.. I'm just "saying". :) Why should we lose our precious breeds like the Chow Well... unfortunately will. - because of people - that's what BSL is trying to achieve and it already has, and personally I don't think times will go backwar...

What is wrong with the 400 (300?) great breeds that we already have? - because many of them have lost their sense of purpose, that's why We no longer need huge mastiffs to take into war with us, or guard our castles, cleanse the grounds of badgers or clear the woods of fox, or to pull our sleds. We...

She gives off a warning growl and tenses up her body. I snap my fingers and say "NO!" Snapping fingers is only good if you have actually trained this dog to become submissive to the sound of the "snap". If you haven't, it does nothing. Whenever something goes wrong, it's always ...

I am also sorry to Merlin for letting things esclate the way they did. and I'm a big enough person to say that so am I Crystal. We all come away from our experiences with something. Personally, I've learned to wait a day or two before responding to emails. Had I done so, the outcome would most like...

There are kennels out there with excellent facilities that allow your dog to come in , or go out , without them ever haveing to physically handle your dog themselves. A good kennel has good references they can offer and generally are run by savvy people. They want your business and they want you to ...

A young dog's throat and neck are very very vulnerable and damage Again, only in uneducated hands. Victory I don't agree with you about your trainer comment(s), but we are all entitled to our own opinions. but an 8 week old puppy can't go to classes in most US cities, they have to be 10 weeks old, ...

A harness for walking, don't use collars for leash training in a young puppy, I have to tell you that there are not too many trainers who will agree with you on this, and this is one of the reasons why it is important for people to work with schooled and learned trainers, so as not to pick up infor...

Thanks so much for taking this fellow in and giving him a home.
I'm sure his chances at the shelter would have been bleak.
I'm sure at his age he's perfectly happy to look forward to resting his head in a caring home.
Looking forward to pictures.

I read a post before about peoples' chows being very good at walking off leash, On the contrary, generally speaking chows are not good off leash candidates at all. They have too strong a prey drive and are too independant in nature. What you could consider doing is long lining your chow. that would...

we had to muzzle him . It's never really a good idea to muzzle a dog, "all of a sudden", at a moment of need, if you don't have to./Often, people do this in emergencies, and the dog panics and it only adds to the problem at hand. It's far better off for you to teach your dog to accepting ...

God, what gives you the right to act so superior? What Saharloo ? Was it something I said? The message was PURPOSELY sarcastic to mock this writer for her absolute diatribal nonsense and give her a taste of her own expostulation. *oye* and by the way, what has saying that we're, "fed up",...

Once he his trained.. and he will be. I'll be sure to send you some pointers, If all of this has so inspired you to get your dog trained, then my work is done! and when you are good enough to send me pointers, everyone here will welcome you with open arms and an open heart. Please... come a volunte...

I'll be sure to fill others in on your lack of consideration.

Yes you just go an do that dear, but in the meantime, please save some of your energy to make sure you go to school with your dog.

I didn't like how I was treated. PERIOD.

Well that's just the way your cookied crumbled that day.

Get over it.

Out of curiosity, what did your vet say to do from this point forward?
Did he/she give you some sort of plan to follow?

That 's funny, because there are a lot of people this J E R K is not rude to.
The only back and forth is the constant recanting that you have created
Thou doth protest too much. Says it all.

For some reason or another, she is still having problems replying to the board ??????????? I have ruled out the obvious, as im nursing trained lol, i have not seen any signs of any of those things in his mouth and i have been in there regularly, making him take his meds, il just need to look at his ...

LBN seems to have some problems responding, but did email me this: Many thanks for your response, im new to this as you can see so i sent 2 posts already in response to you, but cant seem to see them so dunno where they went??? In answer to your question re his breath, its normal and nothing bad abo...

What you can do is take your chow's temperature. If your chow has a fever, then it would be normal that he'd be fasting. and if he has a fever, this is simply a sign of an infection somewhere, ( such as bladder/ kidney - ear infection). - it happens sometimes and those kinds of issues are very treat...

so I wanted to let people know that you are not only rude but unfactual. Why thank you for your benevolence, although, true to my myself, I don't think I come as a surprise to anyone here, I've been around plenty long for people to know that I don't mince my words. Yea, well, get over it, ( enough ...

Do calm down I can assure you wholeheartedly I am not upset in the least. Your advice was sound, but the tone it was delivered in was snarky and uncalled for. Why thank you... but I beg your pardon. If you look at my original reply I did clearly say, Pardon me if I don't have patience". That s...
