  1. Bandogge, not really a breed in my opinion, its a cross between a Rott and a Mastiff or Bullmastiff i thought... but this person, timbos 13, says APBT and Presa Canario. So im not sure any more.

  2. i know someone who is single and has 2 kids (5 and 7?) and 3 ofthe shelters wouldnt let her adopt becouse of the young kids and the fact that she dosent make lots of money, she had owned a Rott/Boxer mix and he had died at age 14 almost a year ago, so even if she dosent have lots of money she cared for that dog. So she didnt want her kids (and herself) to not have a dog. She ended up buting a Basenji pup from a pet store... if the shelter had let her adopt a dog a life would have been saved, not wasted.

  3. I am going to visit some relitives in VT this weekend, my Rottie, Annie, is on the heart guard heartworm preventitive. 2 dogs at my relitives have heartworms. What are the chances of my dog getting heartworms if she comes with me? Hiow are they contracted? Even with the heartguard can she still get them? Is it safer just to leave her home?

  5. now thats not fair. I have a wonderful Rott and my parents first Rottie was a shelter dog. I have been bit by only one dog out of aggression. It was A Shih tzu from the pound. SO maybe all Shihs arnt safe. Who knows? You have to meet each individuel dog. Not just the breed. Sadly many shelters just put Rotts and Pit Bulls down becouse people wont even consider them. The dogs dont deserve this.. :cry:

  6. What breed is Tyr? Im asuming he is a Border Collie. BCs or not as prone to hip dysplacia as other breeds, and they are very active sometimes too much for their own good! I would ask the vet about it, see what he thinks. Consider your dogs backround too. If he is an AKC dog you should be able to tell if his sire/dam are tested for OFA or pennhip

  7. before considering getting a wolf-dog go meet somone who breeds these animals. Spen a lot of time with them, considering traing, socilazation, and your home owners insurence getting cancelled.

  8. yes its used for the recall, you let your dog see other dogs, be petted by people, start sniffing something, ect then you call your dog if he dosent come you need to yank on the leash and pull the dog back in and at the very same time throw the chain it hits the dog and the dog learns fast that its better to come to you then get hit with the cahins that fall from the sky.

  9. Congrats! My Rottie will never compete in agility, she can't make the jumps but she does know all of the eqipment. I am also lucky enough to have some of my own equipment. The other dog in ou house, the family dog Willow will hopefull be competing soon! Willow is a 1 1/2 yr. old Bernese Mountain Dog, so we hope she will be able to cmopete by summer.
