?

Here are the main things I want from a dog: likes water, VERY protective (I want to train him or her in schutzund) and friendly. I am having troubles finding a breed with the likes water thing that is also protective. So far I have found the german shorthair pointer and the weimeraner. I sadly cannot have a pitbull in my area:(. any others?

is the special kitty cat food ok? if not why not? my cats have been on it their whole life and they sure like it!

Well, my elderly aussie shepherd recently passed away, and i want another dog. I want preferably a medium to large sized dog, that is pretty east to train (doesn't have to be really easy, just like, trainable), had medium to long hair, and has lots of energy. I also want a more popular dog, one that I don't have to ship from like halfway around the world. I am a nature lover, and I would like to take the dog on hikes, bike rides, and walks with me, not short ones, I sometimes go up to like eight miles. I also like dogs that enjoy water, but that is optional. I really want an APBT, but the area in which I live does not allow them. :( I have been thinking about, a border collie, Aussie cattle dog, aussie shepherd, GSD, rough collie, or a mix of any of these breeds. I would prefer not to have hunting dogs, because I owned quite a few of them in my childhood (pointers, spaniels, hounds, retrievers etc.) and they are just not what I am looking for. Thanks!

Actueally baa baa black sheep, labs are VERY commonly used for hunting. They have a very sharp sense of smell, and I have hunted with many of them, and they are very good

Well, I adopted 2 collie/ lab puppies. I know with mixed breeds you cant be certain what they will act like or how big they will get, but any guesses?

is it a good dog food? Why or why not.

We are planning on getting some female shetland sheep, and we are thinking about names. Any girl names that would fit a sheep?

We are thinking about getting two little registered shetland ewe's. We have had sheep before, (hamp/dorset) so we are pretty experienced. We have 10 acred of land, and about 65 percent of it is wooded. We thought we could fence in a little part of the wooded area and all of the cleared land, for the two sheep. The sheep would be used for pets, and showing at the local fair. Is this a reasonable breed? do you recommend any other breed? I do know that sheep need companions, which is why we are getting two.

What do you think? any sheep tips?

honestly! this is just sad! I knew they were doing it with the little dogs and labs and golden retrievers and stuff like that, but dobermans? this just makes me sick. Honestly people, when does it end?!

I saw an add in the newspaper for "purebred" (sure) teddy bear puppies. What in the world is a stinkin teddy bear puppy!? is it one of those designer dogs that look like mops? Anyone know?

I know I asked this question yesterday, but I cannot seem to find it.

I want to know which you prefer, health problems, and interesting facts. Also, personality differences. I am not getting one, I just thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys have to say.

Which do you like better? what are the differences between the two breed, as in temperament?

do they?

Is it ok? It doesn't bother me but i was wondering if this can lead to some breathing problem. Just curious! thanks!

I live in the country on a hill. The only flat land I have (with no trees) to play fetch with my dog on is on a pretty steep hill. Will it hurt his joints if I play fetch with him there? Thanks!

I thought it would be interesting to know what everyone else loves in dog breeds. Also please tell me about your dog! My dogs are and aussie and al yellow lab. They are both males, but get along very well! My favorite of the two is definitely the lab.

I have always wondered if it hurts their back in anyway to wear a saddlebag. Do any of you guys know?

my neighbors dog somehow kncoked over the rabbit hutch and killed one of my bunnys and wounded the other! What should I do with the wounded bunny? he is moving his head around and alll, there are no cut wounds, just broken bones I think. please help!

is zucchini ok for them to eat as a treat?
