first heat

Like the rest of us girls, dogs are different. Some come in as young as 6 months, some later. Some like mine have "silent" heats, no blood show. The only way I could tell with her was if my neutered male started showing unusual interest in her ve ja ja. It happens when it happens. The good...

Dog Parks

In general dog parks are a great thing, I go often with my kids. For the most part they behave. I have one that when he gets tired and I have to watch for this, he will get excited and want to "motivate" another dog to run so he can chase, he's a herding dog, it's what he is suppose to do ...

Kai, meaning The sea, he loves the water, fresh, salt, bath, hose, lake, if's it water he's in it. Then their son Tre, he was...

Dogs and Children

Oh what to do? I had a Miniture Schnauzer for 17 years. Wonderful companion right to the end. When raised with children they can be wonderful pets. Your son is a good age for this breed BUT, the dog will need to be socialized with other children as well. They tend to be one person dogs, so socializa...

Bad experience at the dog park

I can't tell you how many times I have seen this same thing. To be honest with you, my 2 yr old male has done this. He is not agressive by nature, just loves to chase with other dogs. I am one that will keep my eye on him and if he even looks like he is going to try to "motivate" a small o...
