Breedia Dog Forum
Some things about mixed breeds: 1. Outside of "designer dogs", most mixes have at least three breeds in them. Often more. 2. Not every breed in the...
If you haven't done so, teach him to sit on command. When he does, praise him and give him a treat or favorite toy. Get him to sit when he wants...
Moose-dog was very sensitive - to touch and emotions. I've had dogs who didn't enjoy it that much, but he really hated it. Cat-dog isn't fond of...
I guess mine wasn't what you wanted to hear.
I've never had a reason to use it. My dogs have always been healthy and have responded well to traditional medical treatments when needed, so...
My Moose-dog used to leave the house as soon as he felt the brush. That was it, he was out of there. Unfortunately, he had the shepherd undercoat....
Check out the kikopup loose leash walking on youtube. Non-aversive methods that work.
So do shepherds, but I've always been able to manage the shed fur. With Tornado-dog, I have to wash all my throw blankets each week because they are...
Oh, I remember that shedding. I don't envy you. The good thing is that it comes out in clumps so it was easier to deal with - I didn't have it...

If your dog has no working background or titles, I really suggest you do NOT breed her. It's normal for people to want a puppy from our favorite...
If one of you is getting up anyway, she may just see it as "this is when I go potty". Tornado-dog saw every one of my middle of the night potty...
Don't forget that adjusting her mealtime(s) can also change her potty schedule. I had one dog who always had to pee at 5 am. (I don't do early...
Yeah. With Bat-dog, it affected her back legs. After the first mini-seizure, she got a bit wobbly on the back legs. Two days later, she couldn't...
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this is very common with puppy mills and not unheard of with backyard breeders. Hopefully the surgeries will get...

My Bat-dog just suddenly had mini seizures, but there was the underlying cause of a brain tumor. So while the seizures weren't triggered by...
