    Need advice: I think my doctor violated HIPAA laws

    I really probably should talk to a lawyer, but... I've seen this doctor for the past ten years. He's a small practice - the only practitioner there. We have always had a great patient-Doctor relationship. I've recommended him to dozens of friends, even giving out his card at the law office I...

    So called "wolf hybrids"

    Calling Dekka and other folks knowledgable about genetics: I often meet people claiming to have wolf hybrids. Now, I have met two wolf hybrids which were markedly and immediately noticeable as...not dogs. I could tell upon seeing these animals move and act that they just aren't dogs...

    If you had to pick a breed or dog...

    Based on one that looked like you, which breed/breeds would you be looking at? I'd probably be looking at a borzoi, afghan, or maybe a Doberman, but Ive always had super long hair so I feel like a longer coated breed would be a better match. Face wise I probably look more like a doofy...

    How much do you spend on dinners out?

    I'm not talking about how often or budget, but rather, in your area, what do typical dinners out cost? Not fast food, but maybe for rough estimate the average cost of dinner at a diner, sit down casual chain, and maybe a slightly more upscale place? There's a viral post breaking down the...

    Maintaining a professional appearance on social networking

    So, even though I'm into my mid-20s, one of the biggest things that's making me feel like an adult (not, you know, having children or bills or a real job or whatever), is that I really feel like I need to clean up my social media image. I'm not going around posting trashy pictures or...

    Border Jacks and Border Staffys

    I don't think we have any on here? Gusto....and I think Elegy had plans for a pup, but I don't think she posts anymore? Anyway, I've never met either of these crosses, and was wondering if I could get some info on them. My first reaction to border jack is "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT" lol, but I...

    Corporate/Board Retreats

    I have the job of finding a location for this year's board retreat for my current internship, and I was wondering if I could get some Chazzer's input. Has anyone been on a corporate/work/board retreat (or for school, church, whatever) at a location in the upstate NY/New England area? NY would...

    Small breeds

    I am, as always, considering the possibility of adding a small dog next. I tend to prefer larger breeds, and some of the perks associated (deterrent factor, ability to tolerate play with larger socially-inept dogs and children, ability to participate in big-dog sports). However, small dogs...

    Prong collars

    I figured we might need an appropriate place to hash out this debate and discuss our thoughts on prong collars. 1. Would you consider yourself against, or for, the use of prong collars in training (by someone who knows how to correctly use this tool)? 2. Have you ever used one on your own...

    Bat Houses

    Who has a bat house?? Do bats live in it? Where did you buy it (or if you made it, tell us a little about that). Where did you place it, and why? I love bats, and I do occasionally see them here, although I mostly see them in more rural parts of town. (is that an oxymoron)? I don't know...

    Mosquitos

    It's that time of year again... I very rarely get bit my mosquitos, so haven't worried about this much before, but now we have asian tiger mosquitos (which are out all day long), and my daughter already has one bite. I see tons of them flying around. Aside from the fact that our grass is...

    Neo VS Corsi Vs Presas

    I know we don't have a ton of molosser people here, but: Does anyone have experience with multiple or all of these breeds? Either firsthand or knowing them through a club, etc? I don't know if I'll ever one own. But a neo has been a dream dog for a long time. I've only met a few and only...
