Washington residents warned of 'bloodthirsty' dog pack This security camera photo shows what looks like a wolf-dog hybrid.

My wife and I own a chocolate lab. The breeder we got her from has 4 labs (2 are fixed and just there as pets, only 2 are breeding). One of their labs is silver (not one used for . They explained to us that 'silver' is considered a type of 'chocolate' lab by the AKC; a mutation that causes...

So today I open my e-mail and I receive this foward about this guy who's some artist. And this guy supposedly took a street dog and tied him up so that he starved and that was his "art" gallery. So then they send you a link to sign a petition to keep this guy from killing some more animals and...

My dog Mallory is having surgery next week to repair a partially torn cranial cruciate ligament (the equivalent to an ACL in humans). She's a border collie, so she kind of needs her knee. However, we are opting for the simpler graft surgery as opposed to the TPLO, which is normally done on...

One time, a man sitting next to me on a plane who had chatted me up told me a story that sounded like it came straight out of one of Richard Roeper's books about urban legends. I've never heard this one before and there's no way to prove it is a modern legend unless someone else has heard this...

Do they? After all a man married a dog in India. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071113/ap_on_fe_st/india_man_weds_dog;_ylt=ArgduTbic4xm4JzVZLMjzokDW7oF to remove a curse for killing a dog.

Since that death-detecting cat in New England a few weeks back wasn't enough human interest BS for the month, meet "Scamp": (pops) http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2007/08/15/kendrick.oh.grim.reaper.dog.woio And get this, Scamp can detect death "without any formal training" PLUS he...

The great British adventurer is a living breed, as we find Blashford-Snell pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge, without, we are assured, the use of gin & tonic. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6940289.stm

This past weekend I went to a conference on dog aggression in Dallas. The speaker I really went to hear was Patricia McConnell, who is well known to non-professional dog enthusiasts like myself as a speaker and author of books on dog training. However, I found myself blown away by Sue...

I got this in an email earlier today. Our dog is NOT microchipped yet, because we are waiting for a more "universal" chip. Also, our dog has three ID tags and a rabies tag on his collar, and he always has his collar on. Anyway, is this valid, or complete and utter woo woo? Implanted...

In regards to The Dog Whisperer, i have seen it and i love it. i know it says that his techniques shouldn't be done by anyone other than a professional, but i've tried many and they actually work. No woo here, he just understands that dogs are pack animals, and if you're the only one in their...

My dog has hip dysplasia and he needs to loose weight. According to the vet, he needs to loose 20 pounds in a month ! He's a Labrador weighing 105 pounds. Does this sound reasonable to you. Loose 20% of your weight in a month. I'm 190, If I lost 35-40 pounds in a month I thing my health would...

As many of you have probably noticed by now, I've got a Doggerel Index, covering a lot of the useless words and arguments woos use. I've got one in particular on the word, "Quantum" that I'm considering updating, or making a sequel to. Maybe something like "Quantum Mechanics Proves [Woo]!" The...

Last week we brought a male dog so our female Schnauzer would get pregnant and so they spent one day together. Today, our female dog was out for a few minutes with no supervision and we suspect that maybe a street dog could get lucky, so we were wondering (at the risk of sounding plain dumb, but...

This from wikipedia on the expression wag the dog with relation to the film of the same name... "Why does a dog wag its tail? Because a dog is smarter than its tail. If the tail was smarter, the tail would wag the dog." Interpretations differ as to the meaning of this metaphor. Some suggest...

http://www.wnbc.com/news/7308656/detail.html There is currently a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the dog's whereabouts Quick! Someone get Sylvia Brown on the phone!:rolleyes:

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--missingshowdog0221feb21,0,2089300.story?coll=ny-region-apnewyork Now I really feel bad for this pooch. Ooops, sorry for the nearly duplicate thread.

How does wolf to dog evolution work? Is there evidence of mutations, or is it all down to variation? Do wolves have recessive traits that can result in wildly different dogs like a pekinese and a St Bernard? I'm going to end up :boxedin: in an argument if I'm not careful.

Tess the non-wonder Dalmatian came back from the kennel with significantly swollen jowls. Nothing else seems to be the problem, just huge upper lips and cheeks. Both sides. She's breathing fine. I'm wondering if it may be a fire ant attack or some other sort of allergic reaction. I'm...

For some time, there has been a debate on this board over the definition of species. hammegk has taken a common sense point of view. "A dog is a dog, a cat is a cat." He also believes that evolution may not be able to account for macro-evolution. Let's say these lists of letters are a...

Now that's taking GMO foods to a whole new level! :dl: (Hey, what's he laughing at?)

I have a vizsla, named Sidney, who is a hemophiliac and an epileptic (it's pretty rough on him). Somehow he injured his neck, possibly from playing with our other dog, Hazel. He's not in so much pain that he's immobile or constantly whining, but if I touch the spot, he becomes nervous and...

Since food is art, this is the forum closest to my following observation. I have recently acquired a cat. Although I have had a dog for many years (an aging pug), I never noticed the difference between the way cat food is labeled versus dog food. Dog food is "manly" - Snausages, Chuck Wagon...

I compete in dog agility with my cardigan welsh corgi Louie. It seems like almost all of my agility friends take their dogs to chiropractors for adjustments. My trainer has suggested I take my dog to a chiropractor to check for back problems because he has been refusing to go over the A-frame...

We have a 8 year old Aussie Shepherd mix, who, a couple times a year, is subject to "seizures", which last maybe 10 to 15 minutes, then everything is normal for the next six months. This includes temporary paralysis, limb stiffness, shaking, glassy eyes, etc. When this has happened in the...

I've always thought of human pheromone ads and articles as overblown hype. However my wife was considering getting some Dog Appeasing Pheromones from our vet to see if they helped calm our second rescue dog who is a 20month old mongrel who acts as if we was taken from his dam too young and then...
