Whisker question.

Just a quick question. May sound silly but bear with me. My dog has 2 or 3 whiskers that are over his right eye lid and come over his eye. Does this obstruct his visin or does it get annooying. I can nly imagine if I had 3 strings over my eyes it would drive me crazy. Should I cut them/ Is that dang...

Re: Avery's Ears..

He doesnt get hicups and shows no signs of being sick like being mushy or sleeping alot.
He shakes about 3 or 4 times as soon as he comes in from outside. Then may not shake for hours. I do notice its mostly when he comes in from the out side.

Thanks for your help. Everyone.

Avery's Ears..

Hi all, I have a question for you. My male just turned one the other day and for about a month now he is shaking his head. He stays outside all the time and at first I thought maybe it was just his reaction to the cold weather. I took him to the vet and he said there doesnt look like anything is wor...

Re: Nat Geo and chows

I was thinking the same thing. You never see a Chow on Cesares show. If Avery got into one of his moods all of the "cst-ing" in the world wont move him.

Re: warning

Funny, my last chow "Cash" that pasted away a few years ago shed so much. I would take her in the middle of the street outside my house and actually rub the hair off of her and let the wind take it down the street. I swear it looked like the old west and her hair looked like the tumble weed.

Re: Can they drown?

Yes, be extremely careful with Chws around water. I heard that because their back legs are straight they dont swim as easily as other dogs do.Use a chest harness with a long leash. May work better.

Avery's lease problem...help

My 12 week old pup just doesnt want to be put on a lease. I guess because he has a dog pen and a nice size yard to run free in. Its hard to take him anywhere because once you get his collar on and start to walk and pull him he lets out a huge "yelp". I swear it sounds like he just got shot...

Re: help! aggressive puppy...

At 5 months he could still be teething.Only you would know if his bites are playfull or aggressive. My suggestion would be not to put the leash on him as a form of punishment.If you use that same leash to walk him it might be sending mixed signals.Walking a young dog does release a lot of aggression...
