We are the outlier here, in that we don't brush our dogs teeth, and the vet always says they look great. They do chew on Nyla bones and some real...
My Malamute chewed the cover of my Natural History of Dogs. It explained how they were close to wolves and he felt we should not know that.
All of our dogs started out in a crate in the bedroom at night. Mostly they still sleep in the bedroom with us, but they do fine if they can't...
We used a crate in the Bedroom at night, and a pen in the kitchen during the day. IIRC, after a couple of weeks we were able to sleep though the...
I love Malamutes, but I would never own one again. I would like to have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, but my wife says no.
Cooper was 32 kg at 8 months. She is about 36 kg now, and 24-25" at the shoulder. Vet thinks her weight is great.
Both of ours seem to be more gentle around elderly and small children. In their view I don't count as elderly:confused:
Labs Love Snow.
Cooper and Tilly both destroy most all soft toys. It is part of the attraction. They remove the squeaker but they don't eat it. The two of...
For a 9 week old, you definitely need a puppy pen, or some other way to contain him. If he has the run of the room or the house, every thing he...
Years ago I had a Malamute that became very difficult, would growl and snap for no apparent reason. We never really figured it out, but we...
We did an overnight trial with Tilly and Cooper, at a Gun Dog kennel we used to use with Ginger. Just like Ginger they seemed to be very happy...
Wow. That is a lot more involved than a total knee replacement. I hope you get it all sorted out. When I was 71 I broke the top of my femur in...
Get one of the S.S. bowls with a double wall on the sides. Outside slopes outward towards the bottom and the inside slopes inward. They are...
I don't think you can tell with the pups. With parents from both lines, you might get either one. Tilly's dad was an American (Field) dog,...
If he hasn't been in the ocean before, he may drink too much of it and throw up. Tilly did that once, but never again. She must have warned...
Our second Lab, Tilly was spayed at about 9 months, and Cooper after her first season at 15 months. Personally I would wait until after the first...
Both Tilly and Cooper love Mrs. Hubbards assorted biscuits, and are happy to work for them. I tried sliced salami, and while they like it, I...
Cooper is freaked out by brushes, specifically any that she thinks are going to be used on her. We are making progress with the grooming glove,...
The symptoms you describe are similar to what we saw in our first Lab about 16 years ago when she became diabetic at age 12. She did very well on...
