I was just watching CNN because our local Fox news isn't on at the moment. San Francisco is looking into banning the sale of puppies in pet shops. I think they are including all pets. I hope they do, and I hope many more cities in the country will follow suit.

I was looking over their site today, and reading in the FAQ general page, #5 says how bad merel to merel breeding is. Then in #6 they turn right around and say THEY breed merel to merel sometimes, because they have no choice. I know there is a choice on that- DON'T. I thaught they were a really...

After digging a lot trying to find a good breeder here in Alabama, I found one that has an upcoming litter of all reds.(I would like a red merel). They have awards from herding trials, and all was looking OK other than I could't find anything on health tests so I thaught I would call. But I kept...

Are male Australian Shepherds same sex aggresive? What about if neuterd? Aussie and Saban (a male dobe) were playing over the weekend and suddenly the playing turned serious. We separated them, and will stay that way. Male dobes are same sex aggressive, but Saban is SUCH a goofeball(and...

I was told a couple of days ago that Aussies born with natural bobtails tend to have back problems? The majority of Aussies I have seen have bobtails, natural or not, and I have never heard this. True or not?

If this has already been posted, or its in the wrong place I apologize. Did anyone else hear on the news that Peta wants the groundhog who sees his shadow every year, to be replaced by a robot? They say its cruel for him to be in the spotlight with camera flashes?

I was at wal-mart this weekend grocery shopping and found canned salmon in the tuna isle. The first can I picked up said "wild caught Alaskan salmon". I continued to read the label and saw "fresh FARMED salmon". The can went back on the shelf. The next two didn't say anything about being farmed...

You know the bones you buy at most petstores wrapped in plastic and still have some meat on them? Are those considerd raw, or have they been cooked in some way?

If anyone else is familiar, please say! I was looking through the site of vinelake australian shepherds. I like the look of their dogs and puppies but unless I just overlooked it, I can't find anything on contracts and health testing. Do you know anything about this breeder? Thanks in advance!

Anyone else who knows, please speak up also! Well, we have decided we will get another Australian Shepherd in around about a year or so. I have been looking at a lot of breeder sites getting an idea as to who we may want to consider for a puppy. One site I looked at said that they guarenteed...

I am going to get some waterless shampoo, mostly for spot cleaning. Does anyone know if the waterless kinds will affect spot on flea treatment? I'm kinda thinking not, since there is no rinsing. I just wanted to know what all of you think about it. I use K9 Adavantix, if that matters.

What, if anything do all of you with long haired dogs use when you brush? I have heard of damaging the coat if they are brushed while dry. This morning I orderd a bottle of Chris Christensen's Ice on Ice. Have any of you ever used it? I am going to mist Aussie, our Australian Shepherds coat...

I am new here here, and am interested in what everyone feeds their dogs. We feed Diamond Naturals. The Natural formulas don't have any corn, wheat soy by-products etc.... I have been seeing where there is talk of feeding homemade cooked diets, but I would be afraid of not getting all of the...
