I adopted a second dog about 2 months ago. Both dogs sleep in the guest bedroom, and our new dog hides out there all day, while our other dog loves being out in the living room or wherever we are at. New dog is about 3 years old Golden Retriever/Chow mix. Other dog is about 1 year old German Shephard mix.

I take my dog everywhere in the car with me, which has led me to worry, what happens to your dog if you get in a car accident? What happens to her if you’re unconcious but the dog is fine? What happens if your dog is hurt? Do they take her to the emergency vet? Is it your responsibility to get her to the vet if you’re fine? Is there an official policy for paramedics about this? Is there anything I can do to make sure my dog isn’t left to die?
I didn’t mean to seem like I’m freaking out, I just can’t find anyone who actually know what happens. Everyone I have asked says, “Good question… I assume they do something for the dog?” I want an answer from someone who knows exactly what happens, not just a guess.

I’m thinking of getting a dog. The only problem is that we live next to a reserve, so i’m thinking that it should fit into a few criterias:

- Does not bark excessively (many people walking in the reserve)
- An able guard dog, just enough to keep strangers from entering our property
- Not a hard dog to train, as i’ve never owned a dog before.
- Preferably not aggressive.

Are there any dogs which have these traits? I’d really appreciate some answers, i’m no dog expert so this will help me a lot. Thanks.

I have done a lot of research on dog breeds and would like any personal experience that anyone has had. I have a small child (she will be around 2 when we get the dog), I am a stay at home mom. My husband will be traveling a LOT for work soon so I would like a good watch dog. We have a place with a nice size yard, but the dog will be an inside dog. I would like a breed good with kids (most are if raised with them), and a good watch dog the dog doesnt have to be a guard dog, but it would be nice to feel protected. We do not have any other dogs, however we do visit family often with several other dogs on acerage. Any personal experience would be helpful. Thanks for your time!
I have been going to the local shelter every week now. I am still doing research and want to make sure of what I want. I dont believe in just buying a dog because it is “cute” and it ending up in a shelter.

Does anyone know what breed of dog the dog that almost attacks jim carrey the first time he says no after making the promise. He falls down the stairs, and a dog is inches away from biting his face… If anyone knows what breed of dog that is, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We’ve been taking our 5 month old Boxer Cross to the dog park for a few weeks now. Almost every dog there plays very well with him, or just ignores him as older dogs will do.

However, there is this one 2 year old Husky that will single him out, run him down, grab his throat, slam him to the ground and hold him there until someone pulls him off. There could be 20 other dogs at the park, but as soon as our dog makes his entrance we’ll see this Husky come running from the other side of the park to take him down.

We understand the dominance factor and that the Husky may be trying to set the tone and let my dog know who’s boss. But other pups and dogs who show up never get the same kind of “welcome” from the Husky as ours does.

What behavior could my dog be exerting to warrant this action from the Husky? Our dog is NOT aggressive, but is fearless and will welcome play from any dog of any size. So when he sees the Husky coming he play poses, but the Husky just takes him down.
The trouble is we like to take him to the park after work, it’s dark by 7ish, so 6-7 is really the best time for us. Which is clearly the best time for the Husky owner as well. It will be easier come spring as we can go later with no issue. But for now it’s our only option.

I should also mention that last night the husky actually picked up our dog by the throat and swung him a bit like a rag doll. He’d done this once before when our pup had a coat on. The husky grabbed the coat and shook him vigorously.
Our pup goes ********** right away when confronted by the Husky. But it will go on for 15-20 minutes before the Husky gets bored with him. Admittedly, one freed our pup will run after the Husky a few times before figuring out it is to no avail. Then her will try to avoid him. But if the Husky sees him playing with another dog he will run and take him down…again and again.

My mom and I were talking about our dog, which a miniature pincher, and she told me that they are made up of 5 different dog breeds. Is this true? If so, what dog breeds is it mixed with?

I have 3 children ages 5, 10 and 14. They have been wanting a dog for years but we said no until we had out own house. Now we do. If someone could please help me pick a breed that is not nippy with kids and can be potty trained please. I do not need a puppy I am glad to get an older dog… Thanks!

I have 2 dogs, a jack russell and a rat terrier. We used to always make sure there was food in there bowels at all times. But then the jack russell started to gain a ton of weight. Now we follow the back of the dog food bag guideline. It is premium dog food. My dogs get normal activity, but now they act like they’re starving, is this normal? My dogs are healthy otherwise.
