I adopted a one and a half/2 year old BCxunknown from a little old lady shelter out in the country; couple donkeys, old horse, assorted cats and dogs. Andy had his front leg removed at shoulder due to coyote trap, left at shelter when "rancher couldnt bear to look at him". He got along fine for...

BTW...where we lived before on the edge of open space preserve it was common to find one curled up on the patio, inside the garage, seeking the rodents common in the suburban garden type landscape in socal developments. Neighbors knew I was familiar with nature and would call me to remove a...

Bonnie has been twice, two different trainers. First was very good, hosted at a vet, handlers very experienced animal trainers, practiced ethical handling of the de-fanged snakes, reptile expert, and was also a great dog trainer. Said "she got it right away, probably good for life, but we...

Interesting background! Saved for "trainers in the Carolinas" Some species same as "Floriduh Man"...🤡 https://www.caninerevolutiondogtraining.com/our-team/

Its that time of year... Here is one by a dobe owner and trainer.

Might be fire ants...same treatment

@Genta Sorry to here that about Noya. You might find more basic dysplasia advice inc supplements here: New to sheperds Its a webforum, like here with very knowledgeable experts. Searchable archives.

Ya, loose stool can be many things including just overfeeding pups, anxiety, etc. I'd wait a bit until the 3 month mark when rescues are usuallly settling in. But ask about that "loose stool" as a separate post separate from CSD or read the many posts here or elsewhere on loose stool. Gold...

The universe has spoken! Enjoy the adventure! ❤️

PS: just found this, https://www.rover.com/blog/wisdom-panel-dog-dna-test-review/ Which may be helpful. You didnt ask, but since its a thing in dobes- One thing I learned from the Embark Health part, that I did not previously know to look for, was Copper Toxicosis, as Bonnie popped positive...

Harvest them birds!

Great videos! Does Kai flush birds and retrieve? I recall @dobebug mentioning once the top pheasant hunting dog in South Dakota many years ago was a dobe... And on the reactions to Dobes...I'm sometimes surprised how scared some people are...many times have seen people cross the street...

OFA- thats a big plus. For anyone shopping as a careful puppy buyer, thats another checklist item to screen for top breeders- If you were to ask for a copy of the OFA on genetic DNA results as third party proof, just like OFA on the holter/echo by cardiologist... and if the breeder hedges, you...

Your welcome, I can get pretty dog nerdy but find the topic interesting on a couple levels, esp how genetic pedigree compares to traditional mathematical pedigree. You can buy both on Amazon, btw, where if you go to the listing, and scroll down you can get more customer reviews, there. If you...

There are small advantages to each. I used Embark on a sale because its data was automatically forwarded to Cornell for DCM research. You can also send the raw data file to U Uttrecht who are the ones who found the 3rd and 4th marker for DCM, and doing a large scale study on copper toxicosis...

Heh. "And now you know the rest of the story" ( how many are old enough to recall that show? 😉)

@Laedeke Here is tbe breed standard from 1982: https://dpca.org/breed/breed-standard/ Updated in 2006 by this judges manual: https://dpca.org/breed/breed-standard/ The weight is only referenced as "balanced", but there is a very helpful diagram from overhead to help owners see if their dog is...

Welcome! Speaking strictly for myself- honestly dont see much "arrogance or preaching" here. Not in the roughly 2 years plus I've been reading here. You may be confusing this with other places on the innertoobs. Actually, to be frank- for a brand new poster this seems to be a bit impolite at...

Training at threshold...😉
