    DPCA question?

    This may be a dumb question, but breeders on the DPCA site all have American sires and dams, correct? At least it seemed this way on the breeders websites. I am a little partial to Euros, or atleast Euro studs, and I feel most comfortable getting a DPCA dog. So question is do any DPCA...

    Ear posting progress and yet another question!

    So here's Zippo, 7 months, ears are standing great. I just want to fix a few kinks before I call it quits. I'm happy with HIS left ear, just trying to smooth out the bottom with thicker posts which has been working. As for his right ear, you can see how the top is leaning in a bit (I do not...

    Flea and tick questions.

    What does everyone use for flea tick and heart worm? I'm in upstate ny and there is deer everywhere near my house. Does anyone have a natural flea and tick remedy? Also, my vet gave me heartguard for heartworm, any opinions? I've not given it yet, since it's no where near as warm for it. I see...

    Swollen gland? Salivary?

    I noticed my boy has a little squishy thing the size of a marble under his eye. It moves freely and causes him no pain, everything else is normal, no other swellings or anything, is this of concern or should I see if it passes? It's been a few days, I was thinking maybe part of teething? He just...

    A heart disease preventive and reverser?

    I've been doing a lot of reading on heart disease (in humans), it runs in my family so I was just bored looking at treatments and preventative stuff. I came across a theory by Pauling, a 2 time noble peace prize winner, scientist and researcher. He came up with a protocol that involves high...

    Very weird behavior....

    My 5 month old male is having some sort of episode. It all started when my fiancées aunt stopped over and rang the doorbell, my fiancé cracked the door open (this door is not used very often at all) and told my aunt to come thru the garage. After this he would not leave the corner where the...

    Puppy chewing tail..

    So my 6 month old will randomly chew is tail where he has taken some hair off, he does it to his flank sometimes too. The dock doesn't look like a neuroma, there's no open sore and his coat looks beautiful, some dandruff but it's been very cold and snowy. He gets cocunut oil, sardines, etc...

    Itchy puppy!

    Chicken livers, Raw?

    So I just picked up some chicken livers, they are not kept frozen in the store, they came sealed, my question is do I feed them right out of the container or should I freeze them for a few weeks to kill anything they may possibly have?

    "Toppers" on food?

    So I feed Orijen and I was wondering if it was okay to mix some food in with it, nothing crazy. Just an egg once in a while, sardines, broccoli or some blueberries. I've seen people online saying NO do not mix at all, others who say it's fine to add a topper and actually beneficial for the...

    Boarding VS house sitter....?

    So we are going on a cruise for 5 days and we are weighing boarding VS house sitter. Our vet rubbed us the wrong way because they charge an extra 7 dollars to let the dog out to go to the bathroom!!!!, EACH TIME PER DOG!!! Obviously there are other reputable places around where we live we...

    Another posting question!

    So posting for Zippo has been good, he was born 8/30/16, the first few postings I noticed the ears would stand immediately all the time after unwrapping. The last few postings I noticed they flop down or back when unwrapping, but when alert they are straight up? 1.) is this normal in the...

    Supplement Question...

    So we all know the cardiac issues dobermans have, we know pedigree and family tree doesn't guarantee your dog won't have an issue, we know it's hard to treat and prevent, but, would it be a bad idea to start a dob pup on an all around cardio supplement? Zippo is 4 months now, healthy, all tests...

    Recommendations for electric fence...

    I'm looking for reccomendations for a solid WIRELESS electric fence for our 2 dogs. I'm not looking for cheap, I'm willing to pay if it's worth it, looking for something with all the bells and whistles and maybe customizable in where it works? NOT looking for underground wires to run...

    Orijen puppy vs Orijen puppy large

    So I've been feeding Orijen puppy for both our dogs, 6 month dachund/beagle and Zippo 4 month dobe. So Zippo could afford to gain a few pounds so I decided to go with regular puppy since it has more calories and he definitely needs it, that's all I've seen in a difference from puppy to large...

    Zippos ears again!

    So another couple postings, they're standing great but I noticed his left ear has the possibility to develop a pocket since it's leaning in a tad compared to the right ear. I will be posting with no bridge or a 11 and 1, and continue to use cotton balls to avoid pockets. Hope everyone had a...
