    Growl at you?

    in Everything about dogs

    Posted

    Gretchen is very growly and vocal while playing too.....Kris calls her "Chewy" (Chewbacca sp?) :lol:

    Sassy growled at me once because I moved her out of my seat and I just got right in her face and said "Don't YOU growl at me !!!" and she backed off and never did it again. :-?

    Maisy only growls when she sees cats outside...... :roll: :lol:

    Why is it..........?

    I'm all for leaving the dogs au naturale........(ears/tails)

    I have Jacks, most breeders dock the tails.
    Sassy (white one) came to me with her tail done.
    Maisy (brown/wht - avatar) her breeder didn't agree with docking and she has a natural tail which I find suits her personality !! :wink:

    Ear allergies?

    I had that problem with Gretchen (Lab/RottX) the Vet finally attributed her ear infections to food allergy and she now eats IVD (Venison/Potato).
    I can only get it through the Vet and it's pretty costly at $40/20lb. bag.
    Considering she eats almost 4 cups/day.....

    [quote name='Rainbow'][quote name='K']Are these females spayed?[/quote]

    I have a friend that has a lot of dogs and the females are all spayed.

    One time when she came home she saw one of them death... She never let females alone, they are all separated...[/quote]

    That's too bad that happened to your friend, but just because they're females doesn't necessarily mean they'll fight. :wink:

    I have 3 females (all spayed), 2 Terriers, and a Lab/Rott X and they don't fight....I don't separate them when I leave and they have the run of the house. :wink:

    [quote name='Rowie-the-Pooh']Don't you guys just HATE it when a new member comes here, asks something, and when we answer saying "Hey listen, maybe it would be better this way" get all pissed and point to a specific member and say "Thanks for your useful advice" then leave???? Its happening a lot lately. Its like they're not even asking for advice at all! HELLO PEOPLE, don't come here if you want us to sugarcoat our replies!

    [size=2]
    Not targeting you Carol. :) Just using an example![/size][/quote]

    Yes, it has been happening a lot hasn't it ??
    It's funny that unless they hear what they want to hear, it's not good advice...... :roll:

    What she wanted was for us to tell her how to make her dog come into heat so she could breed her....... :-?
    I guess she hasn't been here long enough to know we don't encourage that sort of thing with *amateurs*..... :wink:

    Xmas E-Mail

    I got this today in my E-Mail and it made me think of the "chained dog" post..... :(


    T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    With no thought of the dog filling their head.
    And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Knew he was cold, but didn't care about that.
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Figuring the dog was free and into the trash.
    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    Gave the luster of midday to objects below,
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But Santa Claus - his eyes full of tears.
    He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick,
    Last years Christmas present, now thin and sick.
    More rapid than eagles he called the dog's name.
    And the dog ran to him, despite all his pain;

    "Now, DASHER! Now, DANCER! Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
    On, COMET! On CUPID! On, DONNER and BLITZEN!
    To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
    Let's find this dog a home where he'll be loved by all"
    I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year,
    For Santa Claus had made one thing quite clear,
    The gift of a dog is not just for the season,
    We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons.
    In our haste to think of giving the kids a gift
    There was one important thing that we missed.
    A dog should be family, and cared for the same
    You don't give a gift, then put it on a chain.
    And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight,
    "You weren't given a gift! You were given a life!"

    [quote name='Sabine']:o :o :o :o I don't want to sound rude, but it seems to me that you are not fully aware of the responsibilities that come with breeding.
    One breeds to IMPROVE the breed, not to produce puppies. :wink:

    My advice: Go to your local animal-shelter and adopt a puppy in need of a good home. That would be the nicest thing you could do for a poor dog-soul out there. No pun intended ! :)[/quote]

    Well said..... :wink:
