Well my parents brought home a carin puppy today. They've been talking about getting another dog for a while since we lost our westie, Bailey in June. So Gunner (he's my dog) has a sister now. How do we introduce them. I'm concerned since Gunner is getting big and she is so small. He did...

Anyone know what MCH and MCHC are? They were two of the things tested in the presurgical blood work Gunner had done before his neuter today and the paper they gave me says these two are high values; everything else was normal. Just wondering :D

What should I look for in a vet? When I got Gunner from the rescue, I had to pick of a list of vets where I was going to take him to get neutered. I chose the hospital because it is open from 6am-2am and there is around 10 doctors so if he ever had an emergency, good chance they'd be open and...

Gunner is getting neutered Friday I think but is it okay if he plays with the female puppies in his puppyclass Monday before? He is about 4 1/2 months old. It is okay or should we hold back because the two dogs closest to his size that we play with are both females. Last week some people were...

..well, sort of. I can not post pics as attachments but I have them on another forum so I hope it's okay if I link to it. I finally got some pics of him during one of his rare calmer moments. Any guesses as to what type of hound he is? Here's the link...

Can some one please tell me why I am not allowed to posts attachments? I uploaded pics into the gallery, how long does it take to get approved? Also wondering why member list is disabled. Do I have to meet requirements such as number of posts or anything for these to work? Finally got some...

I had several people suggest the gentle leader so I loooked at their website and through some posts on here. I was mainly interested because Gunner chokes himself sometimes when on the leash and it also said it helps with jumping and greeting and helps scared dogs gain confidence. So I was...

I am thinking about getting a soft crate to contain Gunner in the car on rides to the park, vet, etc. We went today and he did good just siting on the seat, he wasn't walking all over, probably because he doesn't really like the car. Anyway I really want him contained especially since he is...

It seems my puppy is passive agressive. He sometimes gets scared when we are out at the park and he's terrified of riding in the car. He's working on not being as scared and he will run up to other people and dogs. At home though he attacks you out of nowhere. The vet says he needs more...

I need opinions on removing dew claws. I have a lab/hound puppy who will be neutered soon. I asked the vet about removing them and she said they could do it when he's neutered but that it is just cosmetic. She said sometimes the back ones can hang and get caught on things so sometimes it's...

Just thought I'd share if you haven't seen him, he's hilarious. I found a calender a few weeks back at the bookstore and I almost fell down on the floor from laughing so hard. Here's his website: www.mrwinkle.com Hope it makes you smile :)

I've been trying to find info on good dog foods. I haven't had a ton of time but have read several articles on what to look for and what to avoid in foods. I ran out of science diet before I decided what to switch to so I went to Petco and got another small bag (hopefully won't have it very...

I had bought the puppy pack nylabones so you get one each for 2mo+,3mo+, and 4mo+. Well I gave Gunner the 2mo+ "puppy" two weeks ago and he's already chewed off one end of it. A few days a go I gave him the 3mo+ "edible" bone and he finished it within 36 hours! I have the 4mo+ "durable" left...

Gunner won't stop his biting! I have tried giving him a stern "no," taping him on the nose while telling him "no," distracting him with other toys, and leaving the room. Nothing seems to work! He isn't interested in any of his toys when biting us and when I leave the room after eventually...

What does everyone think about pet insurance? When my family's dog died, the vet bill was around $1000. I know that's not a huge amount to what it could have been had he had surgery (biopsy) or seen the specialist (he had liver problems and didn't make it that long). He also had a torn acl so...

I looked on a breed info site and pointers were in a different group from hounds but I was wondering because my lab/hound puppy points (I think). He lifts his front leg up bent and his tail out, is this pointing? And do other breeds do it such as any type of hound? I wasn't told what type of...

I know that puppies chew and bite but Gunner bites a lot! He is good around other people or when outside but when inside the house he will attack you! He'll bite your leg, arm, face, back, toes, and hair; he doesn't care. Sometimes he'll just be sitting there calmly chewing on his nylabone...

Hi everyone I just joined today. My name is Sara, I live in St. Louis, I'm a senior in college, and I LOVE animals! I currently have 2 chinchillas Chub and Hobo and I adopted my CRAZY puppy Gunner a little over a week ago. Gunner is a lab/hound mix about 11 weeks old.
