Layla - CGC, Therapy- Dog I will get that- squirrel one- day...     Barked: Fri Mar 29, '13 9:56am PST  Layla is mostly whippet and she was a great apartment dog as long as she got her exercise. I have heard the same about greyhounds, they just need a good long walk and they are great in apartments. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Layla - CGC, Therapy- Dog I will get that- squirrel one- day...     Barked: Fri Mar 8, '13 2:41pm PST  So Layla has a odor about her. She has always had it, but since we moved from Florida to Oregon it has goten slightly better. IT is most distinctive when she is sleeping in a ball and she gets hot and clamy, then the smell is stronger. It is localized to her chin, armpits and belly. What is the cause of this smell? She gets a bath about once every two weeks. I have enver had a stinky dog before, I don't understand why she stinks. On a related note, if she hasn't had a bath in a while, she is "dusty". The dust is deep in her coat and it gets on my hands if I am petting her really well, not just a cursory pat. IT is not dust from outside either, it is being produced from her, it looks like a gray layer of dust on my hand. Anyone else have these problems? What can I do to fix it? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Laws & Legislation > The PitBull Discussion

Joey Diego - CGC, Therapy- Dog Where did mom- go?     Barked: Thu Oct 4, '12 2:34pm PST  I think that BSL is not right and a waste of time because that is not going to solve any problems. Owner education is more important. I love pitties and totally want to own one in the future, but I would also be lying if I said that pitties at the dog park didn't make me a little nervous. Sometimes they make me a little nervous in dog parks because they can be really rough and not do well with multiple dogs. That being said, you can tell almost immidately which ones these are and I have seen some wonderful, very well socialized pitties at the park as well. Besides my slight reservation with pitties and other dogs, I have never once been put off by one acting mean or aggressive with people. They are usually some of the most friendly dogs I have ever met! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Help.. My dog attacks unneutered male dogs.

Joey Diego - CGC, Therapy- Dog Where did mom- go?     Barked: Thu Sep 13, '12 4:10pm PST  My dog does not like unaltered males either, and I have yet to find a solution where he doesn't react at all. He does not attack though. He follows them around and tries to dominate, which then causes the other dog to get defensive and a fight ensues. I have gotten him to ignore most dogs by desensitization. If we see a unaltered dog I put him on a leash and tell him to leave it and walk to the opposite end. If he still tries to approach the dog we leave. I have to be responisble for him and the best thing to do is to usually leave the area. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Joey Diego - CGC, Therapy- Dog Where did mom- go?     Barked: Tue Sep 11, '12 11:48am PST  How long are you waiting to give the trifexis after a meal? I found that if you wait 30 min then not let them exercise for about an hour the pill will stay down. My vet says if they don't vomit within the first hour, then the meds will work. Jope that helps. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Adding wet food to dry kibble

Joey Diego - CGC, Therapy- Dog Where did mom- go?     Barked: Thu Sep 6, '12 6:48pm PST  Is this helpful at all? My dogs don't like when I water down their food so I thought adding wet may help. Joey already drinks enough water but I don't think Layla does. If I do add it how much should be wet food to dry food? They eat between 3/4 and 1 cup twice a day. Are there any concerns with feeing wet food? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > sporn harness

Layla - CGC, Therapy- Dog I will get that- squirrel one- day...     Barked: Thu Jul 12, '12 2:19pm PST  Has anyone tried this? I do not use harnesses right now because they rub Layla raw in the chest. However, the way this one is desgined it may not do that. I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experiance with it my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Whippet > Is my dog a Whippet mix?

Layla - CGC, Therapy- Dog I will get that- squirrel one- day...     Barked: Sat Jun 16, '12 11:16am PST  It is hard to tell from the photo you have. She could be but I can't be sure, I would need to see more pictures! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Joey Diego - CGC, Therapy- Dog Where did mom- go?     Barked: Tue Dec 6, '11 7:35am PST  This is interesting, because I think it is all personal preference. I have never owned the same breed or breed mix, but I do go for dogs that all look similar or are in the same class. For example, Melanie and Joey are both herding breed mixes. Joey and Layla are not the same breeds at all but they looks like they are related so they make good playmates for each other and have similar temperaments. I think that if you love Goldens and they meet all your needs then get another one! I personally like variety, but then again that is why I also have these muttly dogs from the pound and ya never are quite sure what they are I will own a Greyhound one day though...I feel like I just need one, and who knows maybe I will get one and that is all I will want from there on out. So do what is best for you and your family. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
