Try your local "cat fancy" or look up the breed on the internet, even if you find someone that breeds a different type they can probably help you. ... View related article. |

| RE: What Mix is this Dog? |

I think you could be right. Is there a ridge down her back? Don't forget that German Shepherds come in a colour called sable and looking at your pup this could be a possibility. I'd like to see another picture when she's about 6 months old. ... View related article. |

| RE: How to Make Dog Less Afraid of People |
Hi Holly,
The worse thing you can do is feel sorry for the dog. The more you use soft tones with that "it's ok sweetheart, you poor dog" attitude the worse he will get. Try to have a matter of fact attitude with him, ignore the silly behaviour, because that's what it is. Try putting some old clothing that belongs to your daughter in the dog house, make sure she has worn it so it smells like her. Try to avoid pushing and pulling the dog, it just frustrates you and worries the dog. To get him to come try some tasty treats, cooked liver works really well for me, just tiny pieces at first, if he will come out for the treat just tell him "good boy" and let him go. DO NOT hold him or touch him when he comes for the treat. His initial reward can be simply for sticking his nose out from under the trailer, just twice a day about 3 or 4 times in a row is plenty. Go SLOWLY once he's sticking his head out back up a few inches so he has to come a little further, keep going until you find him coming out completely. Use the same command e.g. come here (in a pleasant voice, not too soft or harsh). This may take weeks but the dog will associate it with a positive experience. Remember don't hurry the process or you will take 1 step forward & 5 steps back. I hope I have explained this process well enough.
GOOD LUCK

| RE: Can't Get Rid of Lice |
|
My daughter had the same problem, after way too many dollars I simply mxed conditioner with water into a spray bottle and went through her hair with a nit comb EVERY DAY. The problem is other people not doing the right thing. When I send her to school I plait her hair and spray it with hairspray.....so far so good. My daughter has very very long hair and nits are a nightmare...GOOD LUCK! ... View related article. |

| RE: Taking a Puppy from it's Mother |
Hi Nick,
The ideal age to take a puppy from it's mother is 8 weeks no matter what the breed. Any earlier and you can risk health problems, too much later and you risk behaviour problems. ... View related article. |

I have to agree with Jackie. V. 8 weeks old is the ideal time to take a puppy from it's mother, no matter what the breed. ... View related article. |

I once used teatree oil mixed with water to help a two week old flea ridden abandoned kitten with great success. I would be reluctant to use commercial products at such a young age. ... View related article. |
