Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Tue May 7, '13 7:12pm PST  Exactly. It fully depends on the dog and the situation. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Tue May 7, '13 6:02am PST  "Because it doesn't" - hear me out. It doesn't -always- work for -every- dog. There are a variety of methods that work VERY well for different dogs. Positive only isn't, contrary to popular belief, the end all-be all. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Those of you that trim your dog's hair for summer are there more access problems?

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 8:23am PST  Charged you onl$20 but did he take the wool too? IF your dogs were anything other than poodles, Bichons, PWDs or similar breeds it did them much more harm to be shaved than to keep their insulating undercoat and heat shielding topcoat. Double coated breeds (which are most breeds even including some "short"coated breeds) are not to be shaved. But with PWDs like the OP's dog and Poodles etc. It's ok because their coat is different. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Losing small clumps of hair and I'm a non shedding breed?

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 10:27pm PST  You have a shedding breed. Comb your dog daily (DON'T brush) but comb. Get the teeth all the way through the coat daily and you won't find clumps on the carpet. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > What monthly preventives do you use...? Heartgard, flea and tick...anything else..?

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 10:20pm PST  For the one allergic to fleas generic Capstar and generic program, the topicals I've found are unreliable. Everyone else gets Diatomaceous earth or a topical on the cats (they are he culprits that bring fleas around if they get outside. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 9:05pm PST  you shouldn't have to worry about a lion cut. I heard from a friend that people thought her black poodle was a sheep when she shaved off his top knot and ears, and won't ever shave his ears again now that they've grown back. Also Bracelets (not a relevant for your breed) don't make the dog any hotter/cooler by leaving them on/taking them off. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Cleaning your SD when you come back home?

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 9:02pm PST  I use a force air dryer to get dust of Voltaire each day, it keeps him cleaner longer. You'd be surprised at what gets picked up in a day or so, and if it sat on him he would get soo dirty. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Wed May 1, '13 7:05pm PST  Funny you asked this, I just saw some in Walmart today and picked up the big chub to try with my guys. the ingredients look good and I have a bitch in whelp here that would probably love to try it. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Voltaire SD Did somebody say- deer??     Barked: Tue Apr 23, '13 11:20am PST  A "pure bred" dog is more likely to have more health problems than a mixed breed dog That is complete rubbish. Sorry for my french but it's a long proven untrue rumor. While there are lines of dogs within a breed with high COIs and some breeds with a smaller gene pool than others it's simply inaccurate to say that a purebred dog is more likely to have health problems than a mutt. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
