    What kind of mites?

    I’ve been away at college and my parents have been caring for my chickens. I think they’ve been doing a pretty good job so far, but I’ve come back home and checked their health and two out of the four have lots of little black bugs on their feet and legs. I’ve checked under their wings and...

    Help me find my future dog breed?

    Thanks for the tips! It’s helpful to know what to look out for because a lot of puppies look pretty different from how they look as adults. I tip that I think is true for picking a more chill puppy out of a litter is to choose the one that does not run up to you right away, but is also playing...

    Gotcha. I forget that cavaliers can be pretty unhealthy. My cross dog seems to have turned out pretty good tho, and since his dad was a bichon frise his face is not smushed at all :)

    Help me find my future dog breed?

    Yes this was something else I was thinking about. There’s a lot of puppies in shelters, and a lot of short haired dogs in shelters. Adopting a puppy is a bit of a gamble on the personality but I suppose if the dog is adopted young enough she can be socialized and trained very well. Also more...

    Thanks for carrying the conversation with me, yall! Probably one of the most fun parts of thinking about my future is the dog I’ll have. I love to do my research on animal breeds.

    she made everyone sign assenting permission slips. They were a joy to have around. Her other excuse is they helped the vetmed students practice handling dogs. One was a puppy (so in training) Even weirder though is one day someone brought their (umm, pointer?). Idk whose it belonged to or if it...

    Help me find my future dog breed?

    In my animal science class, my teacher brought her German shepherds. Those were probably the best trained Germans I’ve been around, super calm and well adjusted. The issue that popped up and she wasn’t allowed to bring them anymore is that they were growling at the other service dogs in...

    I’m a bit wary of German shepherds because all that I come across in my neighborhood are borderline neurotic. That may be a result of the owner though.

    Help me find my future dog breed?

    I’m aware that individual dogs have different personalities, and that any puppy I get will be a bit of a gamble, behavioral-wise.
