Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Should I bring my dog back to the shelter...

Your puppy is way too cute! I agree with Rex that your puppy is too young for any kind of running. The bones are soft and they need to grow otherwise you will have arthritic problems later. Congratulations on your new addition.

Puppy Place > We don't know the breed of our dog.

Tempe is for sure a BOE dog (best of everything). You can only find these breeds at shelters and rescue places. I am also a BOE dog from a reserve so I have a few breeds in me. My mom was going to do the DNA thing which costs about $100.00 but she donated that money for cancer drugs to a nice pit bull in the states - so I will never know exactly what I am except a BOE! Also, I never get sick and never do anything wrong (I think anyway).

I would agree, if it is not health related I'd say Auggie is communicating that he is not happy with the atmosphere in the house with the added changes and stress. He may not be getting as much attention also. Keep stuff of the floor so he can't pee on it, keep the stress down and hopefully this behavior will pass.

Choosing the Right Dog > "No Kill" Breeding For Funds? Egads!

This person is nothing more than a BYB with shameful advertising and guarantees they cannot live up to. Does anyone live in the area and check it out - maybe get something done in the local paper, as it is probably only local people that would buy. "Come adopt an older rescue dog, and look at these cute puppies." I'm sure some people may get duped with this scam add but hopefully most people do go to shelters.

Behavior & Training > Leia's one lazy dog. Or is she?

Willie is the laziest among lazy dogs. We would go for walk along the beach and he would just stop and lay down in the sand. Nothing was wrong with him health wise, but just a plain lazy dog. Willie even has his very own lazy boy downstairs which he just loves. Willie is actually the most lovable and carefree dog I have ever had. He just prefers to be comfy and warm. Yes, it is an effort to get him outside when it is raining as he does not like getting wet. His sister, Seela, is just the opposite, very energetic. It is actually a blessing to have such a carefree and easy going dog.

Behavior & Training > Freaked out by a fly
Willie

Furever Baby

Poor Moose. Willie used to be extremely upset when there was a fly buzzing around. He would run to me like the boogey man was going to get him. When he was a puppy he ran up to a moose in our yard and barked. Thankfully, the moose didn't think he was a threat and ignored him. He was not afraid of a 1000 lb moose but he was afraid of flies. Willie finally discovered when he was five that he could kill one, now he is the "FLY HUNTER".

Hopefully, Moose will grow out of this.

When we moved across Canada with our two dogs I did a lot of internet searching for pet friendly motels. I usually reserved through the internet and stated that I had two medium sized well behaved dogs. I was never asked what breed they were but down in your area could be different. I certainly would say that your dog could be a lab mix if anyone inquired. Also, in any place (motel/hotel) you would have to have a crate and have the dogs in if you had to leave the room for any reason. Angel is so very cute! Good luck in your road trip.

I agree with Arlo. I have close friends that have a ticked coon hound and they look so much the same. I am sure when he settles in the sniffer will get going - not always something to enjoy when they pick up a scent. Handsome boy though!

I moved across Canada a few years ago - Alberta to Nova Scotia, with our two dogs. It was a pretty long drive, especially in January. We stopped every few hours - even just for 10 minutes for a stretch. I find it best if you take your own water as even a change of water can give dogs the runs. Only fed the dogs at night when everyone was able to settle down for the evening. We did plan our route by staying in pet friendly motels. Actually our dogs liked the adventure of new smells everywhere. Lots of pees all across Canada, such a large country to mark your territory. Willie used to get car sick (lots of drool) and we gave him a gravol before we left in the morning. Needless to say, he no longer gets motion sickness. Do a lot of checking on the internet and check out pictures of the places you want to stay at to see if there are areas to take your dog out. Best of luck moving.

Dog Laws & Legislation > Shooting Dogs on Reserve
Willie

Furever Baby
 
 
Barked: Sat Jul 21, '12 1:38am PST 
Willie came from the Hobbema Reserve in Alberta. He was several months old and he is now going to be six soon. Willie is the most calm and maintenance free dog we have ever had. Don't know if it is in the reservation dog genes http://www.dogster.com/forums/post.php# but he has never been sick a day in his life. HART (humane animal rescue team) rescued him and we are so lucky to have him. There are a few rescue teams that helps set up spay and neuter clinics. There are also some older dogs that have been rescued and have adapted quite well into a loving environment. It is sad that not all dogs can be rescued but the ones that have been are such wonderful dogs. The foster homes do a great job rehabilitating these poor souls. We certainly hit the jackpot when we adopted Willie.
