Yes, remove toys, reduce food and increase exercise (a lot) and she should be ok after a couple of days. Then get her spayed next month.
You need a small crate just large enough for his bed and take him out regularly to toilet. Unfortunately it will not be posssible to leave an 8...
Tonight set your alarm for 2am and take her out before she starts barking.
I have raw fed for many years now. I wean 3 week old puppies onto raw and they stay on it for life. It is really good for ensuring a strong immune...
She sounds upset and confused. Can you spend more time with her outdoors?
Boring as this sounds.... this isn't a balanced diet for a developing puppy. There is a good thread/link on food motivation on here which you may...
when you say Does this mean that sometimes she is allowed to jump up? If so, then she probably had no idea what the issue was if she was trying...
This is really sad and you have my sympathy. Unfortunately, I think you know the answer to this. If he is not enjoying life, then the only reason...
It's good that you are looking into this properly. My advice would be to not even consider breeding until you have had her hips and elbows fully...

If you are not planning on breeding from her, then it might be an idea to get her spayed (no need to worry about accidents or pyometra). Most...
No it doesn't work like that I'm afraid. I can try to add a link to some articles on genetics after i've put the animals to bed.
Yes, there must be some link with cancer with genetics, or it wouldn't be so prevenet in some breeds more than others. Unfortunately there are so...
Take her back while she is still young enough for the breeder to rehome.
Thank you! COI isn't quite so straight forward. 'line-breeding' can either be beneficial to the breed or detrimental to it. In theory, a high COI...
I have my dogs booked in for their eye tests today. If all is well, they will then all go for hip and elbow scoring next week (DNA testing covered...
You need to be honest with yourself about how consistant you were with his training to heel. When you say you have slowed him to walk, that is...
So sorry to hear this. Without scans to know what is going on, it is difficult for you to know how to treat her and what her prognosis is. Is she...
