Like I said, it only seemed to happen from anger. She has quite a personality as always. And like the saying goes, Hell hath no fury like a husky-shep scorned... Well they changed that a little to woman 'cuz it had better sound! :) Brent

I,to, am a pit owner. Unless they have recinded or modified it, the spca national or the humane society national (I can't remember which) published a statement at the time the whole pitbull media witch hunt began saying that there were more reported dog bites by the cocker spaniel than with all...

As a hunter and a responsible one at that, I have never trespassed to hunt and I suggest that to approach a trespassing hunter should only be done while fully armed, as he is already willing to break the law you should be ready to defend yourself or call the police if you are not ready to take...

On the flip side of the coin. Our husky-shep mix is also very smart, and uses reasoning. As a way of showing anger for being left home, especially if we take another dog for a ride, even though it may be to the vet :mad: She is likely to poop in the middle of our bed :eek: I know it is anger...

Being as cheap as I am with limited resources, I last used slim jim meat sticks sliced into very thin slices. I know this is not a very good food source but one stick lasted through several days of training. I used the mindset that the smell as strong as it is let my little puppy think she was...

From oldest to youngest, I picked up our Husky-Shep mix as she walked along a hi-way, I put her in the cabover truck, bought her a pack of hot dogs to eat on the way home, opened her door and she bolted after a stray cat, doggone, nope I whistled a shrill loud whistle and she broke from the cat...

To all the owners of dogs with this behavior. Does the dog have tasks or "tricks" that are enjoyable? If so, try distracting the dog on a regular basis by getting the dog to concentrate on a task, it may not cure the problem but may help to allow the feet to dry etc. I would rather feel it were...

If you do not have chemicals applied to the carpets which can cause discomfort,or other situation similar to this,what you have here is truly obsessive compulsive behavior! I am no expert on it but have seen many dogs suffer from it. I had a pest control customer who had a shephard that literaly...

As for ticks and fleas, I use nothing as far as collars or liquid treatments, lots of garlic in their food for flea prevention and cultural practices in the home. After every walk and visit to the park they get the above mentioned thorough going over. We have much less tick activity in florida...

personally, I use my hand to swish out the existing water and rub any slime from the bowl allowing it to refill before I let my dogs drink it, mainly 'cuz I do not know non-dog germs are multipling in there. Other wise I agree with the other posts. If you over protect your kids they are not...

As a long time owner of pitbulls I will say you need to have total control over the dog, and be ready to get between your dog and dog who wants to challenge yours! You should be thinking how to protect your dog from confrontation as your dog can win any confrontation it may face, in the event...

I am lucky to be in Florida, we ate at the table on the front porch. My front door was open the whole time. My personal dog rosie the red nose pitbull at 35 pounds was the only onewho had to be told to go in the house due to begging :mad: :eek: my sons blue pitbull was an angel as she stayed...

I think we nave a commonality here! The people who have a problem with our dogs being around them are barely welcome in the first place! Since they choose to stay away due to dogs saves from biting our tongue to refrain from telling them how we feel about them in the first place! I am accused of...

When the whole family is home I have the small pitbull and ancient husky-shephard mix in my bed. Big pitbull with my son and chiuaua with daughter if they are both spending night out I have all four!

There is a funny .swf file I saw called Jesus is watching you. It is listed at swf toons. It is worth watching, Brent
