Drake man, Sorry...I'm just now getting back on the computer from yesterday. I haven't been able to locate anything for you so far. Allie is correct however & you can go through AKC to obtain an ILP registration on your dog. Most millers don't use...

I've been away from the computer for the last few days.....this was very heart warming to read when I came back on! Major Kudo's to all in helping this beautiful dog out! Now if only we cxould toss his original owners in the middle of the dessert! ...

Drake Man, It sounds like he came from a puppy mill. Do you have a USDA Lic, # on any of your paper work? If you do, I should be able to help you .... It will start with 43-A- then four other #'s.

Is he aware of how much they shed etc? Check out: http://www.malamuterescue.org/ They have puppies right now. Here is info on the breed itself, health etc: http://www.alaskanmalamute.org/ Good luck!

That price is crazy! Stay far away from them! Try contacting: http://www.shih-tzu-rescue-of-wi.org/ First & ask them for a Shih-Tzu rescue in NY. They are in WI. Good luck!

Ok Cricketmom.......I had to re read both posts! Tee hee hee! At first I thought you had purchased a couple of Bassett pups! LOL! I thought what in the world? Now I see your Maltese had babies yesterday! Silly me! LOL!

I would stay away from them & go through your local shelter or breed specific rescue group. It for certain sounds like these are puppy mill puppies.

Yep! That could very well be the poor Schauzer's problem! Lets just hope it's something a lot easier to handle. :)

Thanks for sharing that very touching story! :)

One other angle to look at on the peeing in her crate.....if she was raised in a kennel/crate, perhaps her living conditions were not that good hefore you bought her. Meaning they were used to laying in pee & poo. Just a thought? I myself drink lot...
