My Vet would say there are several advantages to having you dog outside. He is quite against long hours of crating and believes it could be...
I have seen many a dog running around in an outside kennel. Usually it was also barking like mad as I walked by, either with or without my own...
The one I read was for crate time but I think it meant before they had to go out to pee. I heard one hour per month of age plus another hour. So...
I'm so sorry. Yes, a member on the other board just reached down for his first thing in the morning pat and greeting to his young dog who slept...
Well that was our experience, yes. Our little Jet slept through the night with nary a rustle. Oban whimpered a bit and we could hear as he left...
Not necessarily and certainly not for us with Oban. WE did not enclose him in the crate, the door was open but the kitchen was gated. He was...
Jet slept through at 7 weeks when we first got her. Oban needed out twice a night, really needed to pee and poop. Then down to once a night. He...
LOL, my boy growls when playing with other dogs. It is disconcerting to the other owner, only sometimes, but the other dog never acts like it is...
About a month ago we got together to walk some neighbouring young dogs, two from Oban's breeder, together in the bush where I go. One was 9...
Sounds like it's his normal but it's not average. The Lab across the street from me was 110 lb., 115 with only a wee bit of extra weight.

When my sister's child complained about dog hair in his food she told him, "That's because I love you the most, extra protein for you." :)
Oban eats kangaroo kibble and I can buy ground kangaroo at two butcher shops near me. Not cheap though. Oban's Vet would like us to go back to...
Exactly. :) Except I don't allow it in the house. I first learned it as FRAP. Frenetic Random Activity Period. I believe it's a term from...
We looked into this when getting our first Lab and heard the same GENERALITIES. :) We learned field (aka American) could be higher strung and...
Gosh, I see a lot of red flags in your post. I will not start in order of red but in order of what I think may be the biggest flags. 25 other...
Gee, I have always used a measure for my dogs' food and did not notice weight gain or energy loss with our two girls. Whisper was four years old...
Our story is much the same up to the point you say Vanilla is fed raw. Oban was on a rotation of kibbles and got itchy each summer no matter...
On leash walks? Or off? Off is far less stressful on joints, especially if you have a forested area with winding trails like I do. Still, I...
You need a professional to observe and perhaps more Xrays. ONe idea is, do you have a really accomplished trainer near you? OUr agility...
