Just my opinion, but I have said it once, will say it again. I can't stand emergency clinics. They routinely charge 10xs what normal vets charge for no reason other than they are an emergecy clinic, and they many times the vets aren't that great. I...

I fed Diamond for about 5 years, it is a good middle of the road food, but they are high energy dogs that need more fat in thier diet. A good friend turned me on to Purina Healthy Morsels puppy food (even for the adults). It is tasty, they like to ...

Issabella, I agree w/ the last posting. Don't worry about it if you are already committed to the puppy. How she chooses to take care of her dogs isn't your fault, and it sounds like if you were given the 'whole story' up front, you wouldn't have pu...

It sounds like you are a concerned dog owner and that is half the battle. I am sure that you will make responsible choices concerning your pet breeding. It is NOT rocket science, and it is not too much work, for very long any way. For the first 3 w...

I understand that their person fell through, bu...

I have had a few pet chickens in my life. I recall 5 very big, mean and nasty Rhode Island Reds when I was little. They would fly up and spur my grandmother and I with the long claw/tallons on the back of their legs. Eventually we had to get rid of...

Just wondering if anyone has personally delt with the 'Waggin' Tails Placement Rescue' in Okalahoma. I could be wrong, but they do very suspicous things that I have never heard of a 'rescue' doing.
They advertise themselves as a rescue on ano...

There may be some good clinics out there, but I haven't found one. Many emergency clinics are HUGE ripoffs. Passing on these experiences to help others. These are actual things that have happened to co-workers, friends and family when going to SEVE...

I think many people get in trouble breeding small dogs when they use super small females. If your female is on the medium side and the male is very small, chances are she will be able to pass the pups just fine. Plus, when purchasing a female pup w...
