I am so sorry to hear about your baby! Is the crate rest over then or are you still in the process? I agree with JudyN in that it is probably a combination of the experience, pain and having lots of built up energy from the crate rest. If she wasn't like this before I wouldn't worry too much until s...

I know weird question I don't really know if this is even the right place for it. My girls and I go on lots of long walks rain, snow or shine. I lived in a place with very little snow before I moved where I am now and my GSD and I never had a problem walking year round. The winters are very snowy wh...

I would like to start for thanking you for all of your advice. Unfortunately things with Zeek have taken a tragic turn. :( As he became more comfortable with me I found that maybe he didn't have handleablity issues after all and had possibly been worked with quite a bit by his previous owners.

Have you considered titre testing in three years time? I forgot to mention it but that was what I am planning on doing. I am going to get her rabies to stay within the law and titre the rest. I am willing to risk the rabies because she has had it a few times prior with no problems and she is at the...

I was warned by her breeder and other working line GSD owners that working line Shepherds and Malinois tend to be more prone to vaccine reactions then most dogs. Due to this I've always tried to only get her the vaccines which are absolutely necessary and break them up over time instead of getting t...

WARNING: Long post I hope it is informative and helpful to those looking to help though. I Rescued a 2.5 year old Border Collie boy on the 2nd of this November. When I met him at the Humane Society he was a very sweet well behaved boy that would run right over and plop himself at your feet for a pet...
