Leela Sweet but a- Rascal     Barked: Wed Jan 30, '13 4:25pm PST  Thanks, Oscar. I am going to look into what you said. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Leela Sweet but a- Rascal     Barked: Tue Jan 29, '13 12:08am PST  My Westie, Sachi, had a lot of warts in her old age and the vet mentioned that it was because her immune system was weak. So when I noticed that my mom's 7 year old toy poodle was getting warts on her back it worried me and I mentioned to her that it might be a weakened immune system. NOW my own little Leela, only 2 years old, has two tiny warts starting to sprout. One is on her neck and the other is on her shoulder blade. Today, I read online that there are two types of dog warts. One is the kind that puppies get near their nose, mouth, or other membranes. The other, that my mom's poodle and Leela seem to have, is the kind that old dogs or dogs with weakened immune systems get. Why would Leela have a weakened immune system at 2 years old? What could have caused it? If it is weakened, what can I do to get it back to normal and how do I know when it is fixed? Should I be giving her probiotics, antioxidants, and/or a multivitamin? And for how long? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Safe Plush Toys

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Wed Jun 20, '12 1:42am PST  I wasn't sure where to put this then I realized it is a matter of health. One of my mom's toy poodles chews pieces off of his toys and swallows them. He has had to go to the vet before because they were worried about a blockage. (Thankfully it passed.) The way she solved the problem was to buy toys without small fabric parts that can be easily chewed off. (ie. ears, feet, antennae) Most of their toys were plush balls. Then came along her third dog, a medium GSD mix, and she has de-stuffed just about every one of them. The toy poodle tries to eat the stuffing when this happens. He is so determined. Does anybody have experience with durable safe plush dog toys? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > What Breeds are in My Mom's Dog?

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Thu May 3, '12 3:47pm PST  Milton, funny you should ask that. I thought about looking at her tongue when Tiller mentioned the Chow Chow but figured that I've been around her enough that I would have noticed if there were spots. Then you brought it up and I decided I might as well be certain. Surprise surprise, she does have a large purple-ish spot on her tongue. We do live in a rural part of West Virginia but I have no idea how common sheep farming is here. I see what you mean about her coloring being similar to an Anatolian Shepherd though. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Dog Breed Directory

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Wed Apr 25, '12 7:46pm PST  I thought I'd give it a bump. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Wed Apr 25, '12 7:04pm PST  All of that makes sense, Tiller. I never would have guessed Chow because she is so not a Chow in personality, but I guess that is what happens when you mix breeds. You never know which traits the dog will inherit. Edit: Btw, thank you for the compliments. She is a beautiful and uber sweet dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > What Breeds are in My Mom's Dog?

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Wed Apr 25, '12 8:59am PST  I was looking at pictures of different mixes and there are two that she seems to resemble the most: GSD/Lab mixes and GSD/Border Collie mixes. I think it is more likely that she is a GSD/Lab mix because she is not a high energy dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > What Breeds are in My Mom's Dog?

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Tue Apr 24, '12 9:12pm PST  The shelter listed her as a German Shepherd mix. That's it, so we're curious about what other breeds she might be mixed with. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > What Breeds are in My Mom's Dog?

Sachi- (1997-2012) Dirt is a girls- best friend!     Barked: Tue Apr 24, '12 8:01pm PST  I know what she was listed as at the shelter and I know everyone that sees her is going to guess that same thing immediately but I won't say it yet in case it messes with people's guesses. Close Up Side View Most Recent Anyway, she is a medium sized mix, about 55lbs. She has shown some herding tendencies. She instantly loves everyone she meets, just a love bug that adores affection and sticks closely to people. She seems like she can never have enough petting. She can be timid but I think that is because of experiences she has had before coming to live with my mom. She doesn't fetch, she'll run after the object but not bring it back, but she likes to play with other dogs. She doesn't roam, if you let her out in the front yard she'll stay there. She is very obedient and well mannered. She also doesn't like the rain and will avoid going out in it if she can but I don't know if that is a trait she is learning from her poodle roommates or from being pampered. Anyway, those are a bunch of things about her. I don't know how many of them are relevant to her breed mix but I figured I'd mention everything I can think of. Edit: I forgot to mention that she is not a high energy dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
