My 4 year old miniature poodle is having some strange gastro issues. For about 9 months, he will vomit on occasion. Usually, it is a brown thick vomit that looks like feces, but other times it will be bile. After vomiting, he smells HORRIBLE. It is almost like it is just seeping from his...

So, like Reggin, we are having trouble coming up with a girl name. We have the boy name picked out, Cohen Joseph. The girl name, we can't agree. I know that I want the middle name to have Kay in it somewhere (my middle name, and my mother's middle name), but I don't like just Kay. I also...

My standard poodle has always been skinny. To the point where I can feel his backbone and hip bones with no effort. We have tried to fatten him up, but it isn't happening. It makes the following MUCH more noticeable. I had noticed that he has always had a very "thin" chest. I don't know how...

First, some background. We have always struggled to keep weight on Tres, our standard poodle. We had finally got him stabilized (still on the thin side, but much better) after switching foods and increasing the amount. We went on vacation, and decided to board our dogs at the vet thinking...

I am trying to find a good zoom lens for my D40 without spending too much. I found the 55-200mm f/4.0-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens for a good price, and the same lens with VR for about $60.00 more. I don't want to spend more than $250.00 right now. Is the VR worth the extra $60? Are there any...

I started my boys on TOTW about 8 weeks ago. I have noticed huge improvements in both the poop and coat department. Their poops are much less smelly and very small (I had them on Canidae for about 2 years prior to switching). The biggest change I noticed when I gave my littlest guy a hair cut...

My siggy is a little "out-seasoned" (don't even know if that is a word), so it is time for a new one! I could use a couple as I wouldn't mind rotating them, plus I also keep all the siggys I get so that I can use them on other boards. So, anyone up for the challenge? You pick the theme...

Everytime I browse the site, I win TWO FREE IPOD NANOS!!!!!! yay! :) And the best part is, a very LOUD voice tells me that! :lol-sign: It is quite embarrassing when I am trying to sneak a quick chaz fix at work, and forget to turn my speakers off.:rolleyes: I always have to play it cool...

Is TOTW too high in protein/low in calories for a toy and mini poodle that have medium activity? What about an 8 month old Standard Poodle puppy? I can't feed raw, and I would like to switch from Canidae to a grain free or even mix Canidae and TOTW. What do you guys think? Also, I've...

With the new camera, I finally got some decent pictures of my crew. There are several! In some of them, the two smaller ones look pretty ratty, I hadn't given them a haircut in a few weeks! Daltrey

I know we've had several threads on Photography and cameras in particular - BUT there were a lot of us that received cameras for Christmas. I am curious as to what cameras everyone uses now (lenses, etc). Also, you amazing photographers out there, where did you learn to take such beautiful...

My st. poodle puppy is 7 mos old and weighs about 57 lbs. He is not as active now that it has gotten cold outside, but I have still been feeding him 3 1/2 cups a day. He is starting to look a little chunky, but I have no idea how much food he truly NEEDS. He will eat all of his food, and then...

Tres will be 7 months old at the end of this month. Every other male I have had, I neutered at 6 months. However, I have read numerous places that you should wait to neuter a large breed dog (he's a standard poodle) due to growth. I have noticed an increase in my other two neutered males...

I got a raise last week, a pretty significant one, after being with my practice since January of 07 (full time since May 07). I was significantly underpaid up until this raise, and it was well deserved due to the long hours, time and effort that I put in, not to mention the numerous...

We started Tres in puppy class a few weeks ago and so far he is doing okay. He is VERY hyper in class (the most rambunctious by far, he is the biggest puppy and about the same age as everyone else - 6 months), and he has trouble focusing. We are learning the sit command using no treats and the...

Has anyone ever used it or heard of it? I have seen a few good reviews, but I am still a little skeptical.

If so, where do you get them and what brand do you go for?

I have never taken any of my dogs to obedience classes. I have done pretty well training my two smaller dogs on my own. However, my standard is a HANDFULL!! He really needs focus, and it is hard getting him to do much for me. I have enrolled him in obedience classes with a local trainer who...

Hi! I'm Derica. I have lurked here for quite some time, but I have rarely posted. So, I thought that I would re-introduce myself. I have 3 poodles, Daltrey - 3, Mojo - 2 and Tres - 17 weeks. I also have 2 cats, and a mouse. My husband and I have been married for 1 year, but have been...

I have a 16 week old standard poodle as well as a 3 year old toy poodle and a 3 year old mini. The puppy is terrific! He likes his crate, has had ZERO accidents in the house, and has learned to sit, down and shake in the two weeks we've had him. However, he is much more attuned to the other...
