We'll I've tried several of your suggestions without any luck. So, Buddha and I are off to obedience class once again! I'm actually looking forward to it, but it doesn't start until late October. I need re-trained, and Buddha will love being aroun...

I live in Ohio where allergies cause havoc for people and animals alike. My Chow is been chewing his one foot like he is going to chew it right off! The allergy medication the doc gave me, I can't remember what it is now, it's at home, was perscrib...

I live in Ohio too, and have a Chow. He is shedding like crazy, I think it's that time of year. I had him groomed, but they suggested daily brushings. Which I still need to do. That undercoat is a pain, good luck!

If you have concerns, and the surgeon said he shouldn't go home until he can stand, I would insist they keep him. Have the surgeon check him out before you take him home. I would err on the side of caution. My dog had the same surgery, but just on...

Okay, need help. Buddha has been on meds for about 5 days, and is acting fine. My husband brought up a good point, is the medication masking the pain, and maybe he does have a fracture or something else going on that we should go ahead and get x-ra...

Sounds like some of us have more in common than just the love of animals. I have seen ghosts several times, more so as a child. It scared me and I wouldn't tell anyone. I told my Mom about it when I was a teenager and she told me some of the reall...

Thank you all so much for your help. I am going to check into my state law, call the AKC, and maybe talk to an attorney or two. My husband and I made 3 visits to the home of this breeder before we got the dog. We did't want to buy a dog with 'issu...

This is the first time I have dealt with the AKC. Since another person that purchased a pup from the same litter started all of this, will the AKC put us in touch with each other? I'm curious what other owners from the same litter are doing. What ...
