I know what she is, but I want to know what everyone else thinks!
Answers:
VERY cute! She does look to have lab and pit in her with maybe slight dane qualities-I'd have to see the feet on the dane part though. I will say she is the cutest thing though and you should be very proud.

What kind of puppy do I have?
I adopted a puppy from a shelter. She is sooooo cute! But, noone can tell us what she is, not even 3 vets! How the heck do we find out? Do we have to wait until she is grown? We have been told anything from a puggle to an English Mastiff! Now come on...THAT'S a stretch! We have been looking on a lot of sites, and she most resembles a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Who can I go to so I can find out for sure! It doesn't really matter to us because she is our precious baby, we are just very curious.
Answers:
Unfortunately, you'll never know for sure. There is no genetic test for breeds, so all you can do is guess by looking at her features. Asking a few vets or dog trainers, people who see different breeds regularly and are familiar with their features, may help. The only useful bit of information breed would give you is approximate full-grown size, which you may already have some idea of. Just have fun with her!
There's really no way of knowing if it's a dog with unknown parentage. She could be a Heinz 57 - a total mutt.
Just enjoy her and love her regardless of what breed she is.
You answered your own question, Do you love her? Then I guess it really doesn't matter does it.
I would try to get a vet to get blood from her and match it to other purebread dogs blood. And then see what kind of purebread or mix it is. Good luck. Also why do u want to know? As long as u love and care for ur cute puppy who cares.
You have done the best you can by finding the breed she most resembles. People will always ask you, like they need to put a label on everything.
I have an 11 year old mixed breed, probably golden retreiver/chow mix from her looks and temperament. It has never mattered to me, but when I have her out in public, I get asked all the time. Once a man said "What is it?" and I said "A girl." He laughed and said that wasn't what he meant so I told him she was a dog.
i have the same problem.i got a 7 month old puppy "Simba" i have been told lab mix, pit mix, shephard mix, rottie mix.no one knows.my vet said that he thinks lab's in there but what else he doesn't know.some times i wonder what he is but i just am thankful that i saved him and that he is a SUPER smart dog...

What kind of pet food would you have to buy for Golden Retrievers?
Answers:
I wouldn't have to but I would prefer to buy Canidae.
No corn or wheat (empty fillers and not good for dogs as they cause allergies)
No wheat gluten or rice protein (cause of all the recent recalls)
Made with human grade indgredients from US suppliers.
Certain dog food such as Iams or One.
The same kind of food you should purchase for any other breed - a QUALITY food free of artificial coloring and useless fillers such as wheat and corn.
Quality brands that you can get at the pet store are Nutro, Nutro Ultra, Natural Balance, and Blue Buffalo. If you have a feed store or holistic food store, they may carry Innova Evo, California Naturals, Wellness, or Canidae, which are all excellent foods made from human-grade ingredients.
You can learn more about dog nutrition from the Dog Food Project website at http://www.dogfoodproject.com/
Keep away from commercial brands that are full of unnecessary (and often harmful) ingredients such as Iams, Beneful, Purina, Ol'Roy, Eukanuba, etc.
anything but iams---iams kills!----purina one is what my lab eats :)
What to avoid in your pet鈥檚 food
鈥y-products
鈥rains (soy, corn, wheat, corn gluten or wheat gluten)
鈥hemical preservatives (BHA, BHT, ethoxoquin)
鈥efined sugar, artificial sweeteners
鈥rtificial colors
the main thing is that you want a good, quality food. Typically, the cheap stuff is NOT the type you're looking for. Always look for a dog food where the first ingredient is MEAT (poultry, lamb, etc) and not a by product or meal, which can include feet, beaks, fur, feathers, etc.
My pets love Wellness brand. Totally organic, and pretty darned expensive. Since i'm not rich and i have quite a few animals, i feed Purina One Chicken and Rice. It's fairly affordable, my pets love it, and the nutrition label is pretty good considering the affordable alternatives. Talk to your vet, and he'll give you some ideas. I'm not big on the Science Diet brand myself, but those are decisions you need to make for yourself. Learn what the words on the labels mean, and you'll be doing your dog an amazing favor.
You wouldn't HAVE to buy anything...
but I do recommend Life's Abundance..
you can buy it at healthypetnet.com
It's human-grade, no by-products or scary chemicals...and my dog loves it!
bakers all in one mix its dried food but has all the vitimins calcium and all the natural things a dog needs,,,,,,,,,,,,
The best kind of pet food you can buy is Canidae. With all of the recalls, I did alot of research and actually called the company. They only use human grade ingredients, meaning they are safe for humans to eat. Canidae actually has their own factory who produces their food and there has never been any recall. And all of their ingredients come only from the United States. AND, Contrary to popular belief, chicken meal has more protein in it than regular chicken. It is NOT made of beaks and feet, only quality meat. There is only 7% protein in chicken and 25% protein in the chicken meal. The chicken is all moisture. The Canidae site explains better what the difference is. You'll have to locate the correct tab, but it is in there. Here is their website:
www.canidae.com
I hope this helps!

What kind of floor put on dog kennel?
My dog loves to chew so I need to find a floor to put under his kennel that is 40" X 80" that he cannot chew apart. Any ideas and where I could find something like that? I thought about a very thick plastic as he would tear up wood and he does not like chewing plastic.
Answers:
I can't believe nobody suggested this... Dig the dirt out a little, and fill with sand/gravel. Then cover the whole thing with plastic decking. They sell it everywhere, but you could find it online with a simple google search or at your local hardware stores...
http://epsplasticlumber.com/pics/woc_dec...
that's just a picture, but this works great in dog kennels. It keeps your dog mud-free and becuse of the gravel, it will provide excellent drainage... you can just hose it out!!
Good luck!
half wooden half carpet. To sleep and to play.
Metal crate pan.
Lay tile there. I think anything else can be eaten. I lost a linoleum floor once, and another dog ate the plastic crate pan in a matter of hours. If you want it to be removable lay it on a piece of plywood. I am sure you can find tile scraps free and it would last forever and be really cheap.
try a wood that has the size of it.

What kind of dogs is similar to this description?
i have to have a female dog it has to stay small full grown and it cant have alot of hair it has to have short hair and not shed alot.that cost under 200 dollars(i'm helping a friend)
Answers:
Poodles they're really good with kids...my grandma use to have one that I loaded everywhere with me when I was little, she never would bite or anything, but they're not short hair, they do require grooming. I realize this is a big dog but they're golden retrievers are so good with kids and typically not too costly. If your having trouble then I know my mom did a google search for the dog for me, where she took a survery of what she wanted from a dog, and they told you what kind was best for you.
teacup chihuahua
Go to a shelter and find a dog that fits the bill -- and more importantly, that your friend LIKES. It will cost under $200 to adopt this dog.
Good luck.
Miniature Pinscher
A miniture poodle or a toy poodle depending on how small you want her to be, a peek a poo or even a chiauaua but better swtill go to an animal shelter and look at the dogs. The shelter staff can tell you which will probably stay small. There will probably be some toy poodle mixes for example and you will be spending under $100 and saving a pup or adult dog's life.
poodles don't shed...they are small and you may find one for that price somewhere. Pounds sometimes have poodles.
You can get a high quality stuffed animal that doesn't shed much..
You could try to find an Italian greyhound for 200.00, but get it health checked because it is very unusual to find one for anywhere near that price.
Chinese Crested (twice this dog breed had members voted as world's ugliest dog) Unusual looking, not easy to find, and costly in most cases.
Mexican Hairless Chihuahua- very tiny, you might find one this price in Texas, but they are not actually hairless, just very very short short hair.
You could get a very high quality stuffed animal for that price and it won't shed and could be good for a person with allergies.
Go to the pound or look in the paper, you dont have to spend alot to have a good dog and it doesnt have to be a purebred.
We have two min pins and they are great dogs but I really dont think mine would tolerate small children well so the person who suggested them needs to let you know if they have one.
We also have a mixed breed that is a wonderful dog. Look around you can find great dogs with no fee just be sure they are healthy and have never been abused.
Depending on where you live you can get the perfect dog. A Jack Russell or any of the Terrier breeds would be perfect. If you live in a rural or country area, you can probably find one if you look on the horse or cattle farms.
If your in the city...
I get the feeling your friend is not a Poodle kind of person, but if so ...that would also be a great choice. But they can get really expensive.
Don't go with anything that has "teacup" in the name. Most of the time these dogs have major problems down the road like death! They are too small. Anything that is worth $200 is going to have bigger vet bills. If you need a cheap dog go to the pound. Other wise, shih tzu with puppy cut or maltese are good. Chihuahuas are NOT good with kids becuase they are so small. Poodles are good and they don't shed. Puggles are really cool. Hope this helps!
get a dog that will not be aggressive to the child. some kids will play rough with a dog, at 2 they don't understand their strength when playing with a dog. peeks are good with kids, but they have lots of hair. jack russels are good dogs, they have very little hair and can be love able if roughed up by a 2 year old. poodles and Chihuahuas will bit if they don't like people. especially a Chihuahua, they can be very moody as they get old. good luck in your search.

Sammy looks to be a very special breed. One that many people would love to have, but only a few people ever truly do.
He is your Soul Dog! You knew it the moment you saw him, but didn't realize it. The "breed" of this special dog isn't important and I think, by your description of him, that you already know this in your heart.
But you are hoping to find out what breed he might be...
My best guess would be a border collie cross. They are wonderful dogs that love to work and be with their family.
Thank you for sharing Sammy's story with us! I wish there were more people like you... people who are willing to see the beauty in something others would find ugly.
Good luck and give Sammy a scritch behind the ears! :)
border collie???
some sort of collie mix I think
i think shes a mix but shes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... cute!!1(or he)
Looks to me like a border collie, possibley lab, maybe some akita (because of the tail), and possibley an austailian cattle dog. Whatever he/she is its a total cutie! But ldefiantly border collie!
Well, it looks like a mid-size dog. Possibilities are fox terrier, jack russell terrier, and border mix. It definitely looks like he's got some terrier in him.
border collie
he could be part basenji

Research what you and your family wants in a dog. Is someone always home, or are you always busy? Do you have a big yard or live in an apartment? Do you have the time to walk a dog (or groom a dog) everyday? These are important questions to ask before choosing your companion for the next ten plus years!
Plus dogs aren't orn with their ears up. Cropping is a very painful procedure thatis done on puppies of certain breeds because it is what the breed standard calls for. Sometimes it is done to prevent ear infections, but it is noramlly simply cosmetic. Please consider that also!
Chihuahuas, or maybe Pomeranians.
Gee that could be anything..
check your local animal shelter. There are hundreds of puppy's looking for homes. You might be interested in a Shepperd, or a pit mix. They have ears that stand up and are really cute! At the shelter I volunteer for we just had a German Shepperd puppy come in and the ears were bent over and to the side! they were so cute, he got adopted really quick. If you dont see anything at the shelter when you first go, dont give up. they get in dogs and puppy's all the time. Keep checking back and check there website. also

Research what you and your family wants in a dog. Is someone always home, or are you always busy? Do you have a big yard or live in an apartment? Do you have the time to walk a dog (or groom a dog) everyday? These are important questions to ask before choosing your companion for the next ten plus years!
Plus dogs aren't orn with their ears up. Cropping is a very painful procedure thatis done on puppies of certain breeds because it is what the breed standard calls for. Sometimes it is done to prevent ear infections, but it is noramlly simply cosmetic. Please consider that also!
Chihuahuas, or maybe Pomeranians.
Gee that could be anything..
check your local animal shelter. There are hundreds of puppy's looking for homes. You might be interested in a Shepperd, or a pit mix. They have ears that stand up and are really cute! At the shelter I volunteer for we just had a German Shepperd puppy come in and the ears were bent over and to the side! they were so cute, he got adopted really quick. If you dont see anything at the shelter when you first go, dont give up. they get in dogs and puppy's all the time. Keep checking back and check there website. also

What kind of dog(s) do you have?
Answers:
german shepard! she is too smart for her own good. if she wants to go outside she will turn the door handles herself and go. although... she isnt very good at closing the doors..lol.
Purebred German Shepherd Dog and Purebred Bloodhound, I got them both at the Humane Society where I volunteer.
i have a tea cup poodle,boxer, and rottwieler boxer mix they're all so addorable
I don't have any. I would like to own an Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, Bernese mountain dog or a greater Swiss mountain dog
a black lab and a golden retiever mix,and also a black lab and a hunter dog mix
i have the cutest little yorkshire terrier!
I have a boxer,2 pugs,and a chihuahua
Practically speaking; if you live in an apartment a small dog is better. Large dogs NEED lots of room. If you live in a house any dog is good.
When I lived in a large house with a huge backyard I had an Irish Setter. I just love their long, red hair. And they are so lovable.
Anyway, ADOPT whatever dog you want and you will get unconditional love.
Good luck.

What kind of dog would be best for me?
i want a small eazy to train house dog i have a infant so its got to be good with kids
Answers:
I suggest looking at a site like http://www.dogguidance.com/smalldogs.htm... It has a list of small dogs with details about them. That way you may find a small dog type that suits you and your infant best. Good Luck. :)
Any dog can be "easy to train" and "good with kids" provided you have the time, patience, and consistency to train the dog to do such.
You can read here about house training, to get an idea of what to expect: http://www.libertydogtraining.com/faq_ho...
There are a lot of things to consider before getting a dog, and to ensure you get one that meets your lifestyle. Please visit below and email me if you would like me to help you choose a dog. I'll email you some questions, and we will go from there.
There are many breeds that will 'fit the bill' but you might want to consider getting a mixed breed. A small dog from a shelter would be great -- you'd be giving a homeless dog a chance for a new life! Plus the people at the shelter should be able to tell you about your dog's personality.
Puppies are a TON of work. House-training is hard enough, but has anyone ever told you about the CHEWING?? Dogs will chew any and everything, until they are at least 18 months old! Which is why I prefer to adopt adult dogs...
Poodles are generally considered the smartest of all breeds and they make superb pets. Spaniel type dogs are also great, although you'd have to be careful not to get one that was too nervous. My brother and his family ADORE the two Cocker Spaniels they've had. Terriers can be hard to train. Dachshunds are great, but tend to have back problems. Corgis are nice. Beagles are VERY independent. Pomeranians and Papillions are very, very cute but can be yippy. In fact, almost any small dog can be yippy...
Good luck and I hope you, your baby and the dog have a great life together!
I heard jack russell terriers are good with kids.
i would recoment a cavalier king charles spaniel.
they are about the size of a shetland sheepdog, and simply adore children and just about everyone else. they are also quite hardy, and their coat requires not really that much care. a brushing every 2 days would keep it tangle free.
they are quite easy to train and eager to please, and very, (and i mean, very) affectionate.
We have a 4 month old and three pitbulls they are all so loving and caring. I will never own another breed of dog. If you have an infant a puppy might be a little much to handle right now. We got two of our dogs from an animal shelter and they were already house broken and everything. But pitbulls as long as they are trained right they are very good with kids/infants.
big dogs are great too- a low energy bigger dog can be a lot less trouble than a hyper small dog. don't think that you have to get a small dog.
i would adopt an adult dog that is already used to being around kids... there are lots of them at the pound needing homes. i adopted 2 senior dogs and they are the best. no housetraining, no chewing, no teaching them to behave around the kids.

What kind of dog would be best for children?
Just wonderin'
Answers:
Retrivers are cute and furry. Of course a lot of people have them. I have a flat-coated retriever (its a black retriever)
hot dog's. and they wont leave a mess on the carpet.
Any dog would bring joy,however some terrier breeds can have a quick temper with smaller children
A chihuahua or another toy dog breed. They get on well with children and if they are introduced from young they are very protective and loyal to the child.
A Labrador retriever or a golden retriever puppy would be good. But be sure that when you get it it's not to wild.
labs are excellent family pets. just make sure you have your puppy trained not to jump up on your kids. they weight about 70-80 lbs fully grown. they love the water, they loveeee tennis balls.
It all depends on what breeds-groups-size you like. Alot of large dogs are hyper their first years, but realy settle down into being great with children and babies. Such as the famous, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and large breed Mutts.
Shetland Sheepdogs are workers(my friend's dog), but he loves to be around kids! He was hyper until around six months, to almost a year. But he still was gentle with kids and babies.
Then Welsh Corgis and Yorkies are also good with kids. Realy loving, and not to hyper.
Depends how well behaved your kids are.
If your kids are the ones that will climb on the dog, pull the dogs ears, yank on its leash...dont get a dog at all.
German shepards and dobermans are very good with children. They are protective of the family, but tolerate children "riding them". I had a german shepard when i was born, till i was 6. My entire family has had dobermans, and they are very sweet dogs, they love children.
Most people think golden retrivers and labs are good family dogs, yet ive seen more people get snapped at, growled at, and bit by those dogs more than any other dog.
In my own personal experience you can't go wrong with a golden retriever, they are good natured and like to play. I had a german shepard as a kid and it was very protective of me and my sister but it would get aggressive toward strangers.
cavalier king charles spaniels. definiately!! they are so, so, so friendly! i have never met one that isn't fun, loving and playful! they are certainly a great dog to have for kids- i am 15 and my family has one. he is great, doesn't shed, very playful and EXTREMELY CUTE!
so give it a try the only down side is some of them snore! but there is an operation you can give your dog if this is the case- but it only occurs in some dogs.
hope i could help!
cya :)
a would not suggest a terrior, as they can get snappy. But it depends on their up bringing.
I have always gone with bigger dogs such as the border collie, they are loyal and protect people, and they can also be playful. Our border candy we got as a puppy, my little brother use to carry her around, though not meaning to, by her neck, she is fine, and as we have grown she has changed from a caring and gentle to a boundful adult with youthful times.
She is lovely, and as a young dog when we were growing up, if one of us was hurt, she would come over and sit with us, if we needed help, she would get eth attention of an adult, she was hit by a car just after she has 24 puppies, (I know its a large little) only 13 survived, any way, we had to hand feed and cre for puppies while she revovered, it was hard, and the vet didnt think shed survive, with abroken spine and her nose not attatched to the bone, she made a ful recovery, still shakes her tush more than normal due to broken spine, but 8 or 9 years on and still going strong. Shes about 10, and is an energietc dog, i dont think you can get any otehr true friend, we also have a Cavalier King Charles, not suited for little children, but make great family pets and are playful and friendly.
I hope this helps
I think I Golden retriever because they are very gentle.But it does depend on the kid.
Tip: DON'T get a popular breed like a golden retriver. If you get one of those, you are telling the world that you "got on the bandwagon" and got a popular breed, wheather or not it was the right breed for you. Besides there are lots of other, overlooked breeds, shuch as the Berger Picard?, that would be just a good.
This is just my opinion but... I think a small dog like a Pembroke Welsh Corgi would be perfect! Kids would probably love to pet there dog and i think Corgis like lots of love! Lemme know what breed you pick!

heres a picture of a really cute puppy!
Schipperke's are great dogs with children coming or in the house already.they have a very polite disposition about them also they are very protective of their families, if someone comes up to the kids that your dog doesnt like, they will let them know.if something isnt right in the house, they will let you know, they are very intellegent dogs learning things really quickly and lots lots more..it would be worth checking out wikipedia or searching for schipperke clubs of usa online, we have one and my mother has 2 and they are the best dogs you could ever ask for.
Labrador Retrievers, they are great family dogs. Mine tolerates anyhting my young nieces and nephews throw at them. Not only that the kids have a ball with them. They go swimming and kayaking together in the summer and sledding in the winter. They are just great all around dogs with a fun loving devoted personality.
Labradoodle don't malt very much and brill with children .Research them.

What kind of dog would be a good playmate/mate for a chihuahua/terrier?
My dog, Lily, is four months old, but I don't like leaving her without a companion when I am not here, and I heard it's better to raise two dogs together rather than one, so which dog should I get that would be best for Lily?
Answers:
I have noticed with my chihuahuas that they seem to prefer their own kind. Sad but true. They are quite snobbish with the two little shih tzus. The three chihuahuas all get along beautifully. They mostly ignore the shih tzus which is sad because the shih tzus are awfully fond of them!
Get a cat to entertain her. My friend did it.
either a terrier or a chihuahua
Call the pound and/or pet stores. Tell them you are looking to get a friend for your pup. Most places will set up a kind of play date for you. Then you can take your dog in to meet some other pups. Then your pup can decide who it's new roommate will be. The people there can help you decide the best friend for your pup.
Edit
and you don't have to go for another smallish dog, we have small and large breeds at my house, and they all play great together.
I'm a big fan of two dog households - I have always had one. I'd get another small dog of a similar mix or breed. If she is spayed get a neutered male. A spayed female/neutered male combo works best - less problems with dominance and establishing pack order.
well chihuhaus are small dogs and so are terriers so prolly one of those thypes of dogs or atleast another small dog. Make sure its around the same age as lily. cuz an older dog mite not want to paly with a pup. hoep i helped.
Any small breed or mixed breed will do!
Please consider a rescue to join your family!
I think aChihuahua would be perfect!

What kind of dog will suit my lifestyle?
I love dogs more than anything, I live for them! So my mom said I could a dog in 2 years (a DRAG, I'll be 13 by then) and to past the time I wanna see what kind of dog I should get and spend my time getting prepared for the circumstances and living conditions. ok well I need a dog that can play with itself. I will be at school for 7 hours! My mother will actually be sleeping (night shift) but will get up when the first 4 hours pass and then walk it and play with it and leave it alone for about an 1 hour more. Then the rest of the day it will be enjoying life. But when it is alone it will have alot of stuff to pass it's time probably for the first 2 or 3 hours. I want a walking partner and I will take it to the park and play fetch or Frisbee or something with it. I want a dog that is friendly, and playful. I wouldnt want a dog that has major health problems and I owuld like a dog from small-medium. I know you can't find a perfect dog but something close to it will be just fine. Thank u!

The golden retriever is the ultmate family dog, and is great for playing. You'll have to groom the though. Labs are great too, and labradours.
Well, in my opinion...you should check with your local animal shelter to get a dog. Not only do they have their shots and are fixed and screened for health problems, but rescued dogs often seem to know they've been rescued. Plus, you can get advice from the animal control officer on the dogs they have there as to personality and temperment.
PLEASE get a shelter dog. There are so many that will never find homes, and I promise you'll have a friend for life. Mine was until she died of old age last July.
go to www.akc.org and read about every breed... you have plenty of time to research .... good luck.. have fun...
I have a dog finally and it is a chihuahua and I am st school 4 seven hours 2 and my mom stays at home it sleeps all night and enetertains itself for the day and when I get I it plays with me it is actually a teacup one and it is soooo cute sweet and loving really luvs its owner so this is the perfect dog for a teenager
You sound exactly like me when I was your age. But I had to wait until I moved out of my parents house to get my first dog. And I think you should get your dog during the summer if you can, while your out of school, that way you can spend more time bonding with it, and training it. And there are so many breeds that would be great for you. I think you should buy a dog encyclopedia that lists ALL the different breeds, and details about each one. I have a few of them. I found them to be helpful, and fun to read. You can also go to http://dogbreedinfo.com/ to look at all the different breeds, and also helpful information on how to care for a dog. I spent 21 years trying to find my perfect dog, I finally got my first dog 2 months ago. I ended up adopting a 1 year old pit bull from an animal shelter. She is perfect for me, and she is very loved. When you are able to get a dog, consider adopting. Rescued pets can sometimes make the best pets. Good Luck in your search for a dog! I know it will be very loved.
It definately sounds like you're a golden retreiver or a lab kind of person. But muts are always great dogs too. Go to your local shelter and rescue one. Your parents will appreciate it because they dogs have their shots, most of the time come neutered/spayed, and its a lot less expensive. They are always appreciative of a new home.
A Cavalier is an excellent companion but they need to live indoors. They are a small dog but very adaptable. They love to play and also don't mind having to settle on the lounge chair to chill out for a few hours each day. An idea might be to aim to get your new pup at the very beginning of a long vacation time, so you have lots of time to spend with it before you have to return to school. A slightly older puppy might be easier to train than a real tiny baby one. Maybe 4-6mths old. Also, use the next couple of years to find out all you can about the breed "Cavalier King Charles Spaniels," and try to get in contact with a reputable breeder who can advise you on the best temperament to suit your personality and home situation. A respected breeder will also be a better bet for a healthy dog than just buying one out of the paper or from a pet shop. It is ok to ask breeders what kind of health testing they do for their dogs. Don't be fooled by thinking a crossbred puppy will be problem free - sometimes the crossbreeds have health problems too.

Well, in my opinion...you should check with your local animal shelter to get a dog. Not only do they have their shots and are fixed and screened for health problems, but rescued dogs often seem to know they've been rescued. Plus, you can get advice from the animal control officer on the dogs they have there as to personality and temperment.
PLEASE get a shelter dog. There are so many that will never find homes, and I promise you'll have a friend for life. Mine was until she died of old age last July.
go to www.akc.org and read about every breed... you have plenty of time to research .... good luck.. have fun...
I have a dog finally and it is a chihuahua and I am st school 4 seven hours 2 and my mom stays at home it sleeps all night and enetertains itself for the day and when I get I it plays with me it is actually a teacup one and it is soooo cute sweet and loving really luvs its owner so this is the perfect dog for a teenager
You sound exactly like me when I was your age. But I had to wait until I moved out of my parents house to get my first dog. And I think you should get your dog during the summer if you can, while your out of school, that way you can spend more time bonding with it, and training it. And there are so many breeds that would be great for you. I think you should buy a dog encyclopedia that lists ALL the different breeds, and details about each one. I have a few of them. I found them to be helpful, and fun to read. You can also go to http://dogbreedinfo.com/ to look at all the different breeds, and also helpful information on how to care for a dog. I spent 21 years trying to find my perfect dog, I finally got my first dog 2 months ago. I ended up adopting a 1 year old pit bull from an animal shelter. She is perfect for me, and she is very loved. When you are able to get a dog, consider adopting. Rescued pets can sometimes make the best pets. Good Luck in your search for a dog! I know it will be very loved.
It definately sounds like you're a golden retreiver or a lab kind of person. But muts are always great dogs too. Go to your local shelter and rescue one. Your parents will appreciate it because they dogs have their shots, most of the time come neutered/spayed, and its a lot less expensive. They are always appreciative of a new home.
A Cavalier is an excellent companion but they need to live indoors. They are a small dog but very adaptable. They love to play and also don't mind having to settle on the lounge chair to chill out for a few hours each day. An idea might be to aim to get your new pup at the very beginning of a long vacation time, so you have lots of time to spend with it before you have to return to school. A slightly older puppy might be easier to train than a real tiny baby one. Maybe 4-6mths old. Also, use the next couple of years to find out all you can about the breed "Cavalier King Charles Spaniels," and try to get in contact with a reputable breeder who can advise you on the best temperament to suit your personality and home situation. A respected breeder will also be a better bet for a healthy dog than just buying one out of the paper or from a pet shop. It is ok to ask breeders what kind of health testing they do for their dogs. Don't be fooled by thinking a crossbred puppy will be problem free - sometimes the crossbreeds have health problems too.
What kind of dog was Petey from the Little Rascals?
Answers:

No other breed could work with a bunch of kids without hurting them.
FYI - Cheaper by the dozen with a house of kids. Guess what PIT BULL BABY!!! Best breed for kids!

hw woz either a pit bull or a american bull dog looked more like an american bull dog to me!
Pit Bull
Pit Bull
Jack Russle
PEDIE WAS AN AMERICAN BULLDOG.
I have a bio on the show and he was an American Bulldog and there were two of them.
He was the same breed as CHAMP on Homeward Bound.
Petey was a pitbull.
Sadly, he was poisoned. The myth/legend was that there was someone who was jealous of Petey - and what a smart dog he was - not to mention the money he earned doing the Little Rascals.
Other famous pitbulls were/are
Popsicle - left to die in a freezer by thugs - he is the country's most successful drug dog.
Weela - KenLRation's dog of the year rescued over 30 people from a dangerous flood.
Dakota - one of the country's most honored search and rescue dogs.
Sgt. Stubby - the country's most decorated war dog (WWI)
Pitbulls get a really bum rap - but they're really great dogs. Smart, easily trained, loyal and well, just great dogs.
The sad thing is that so many people are afraid of Pitbulls - because many owners just want something that looks tough. Too many times the dog is blamed for human error.
So, parents, teach your children to be gentle with dogs - all dogs. Watch them when they're around dogs so that the child doesn't torment the dog into reaction (remember, dogs don't hands and can't push a toddler away)
And Owners of all dogs. Leashes are meant to be used. Use them. And dogs are pack animals. Don't leave Fido out in the back yard where he'll go crazy. Think of being in solitary confinement. What an awful sentence!
and spay and neuter! there are too many puppies out there.
American Staffordshire Terrier
"Lucenay's Peter" was a UKC-registered American Pit Bull Terrier, who was also one of the first Pit Bulls to be registered with the AKC as a Staffordshire Terrier(the breed name was changed to avoid confusion with the already-recognized Bull Terrier, and later "American" was added to avoid more confusion with the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier). Actually, there were more than one Pete, all decendants of the original dog. He was most definately an American Pit Bull, NOT an American Bulldog, although later in the modern movie version, an American Bulldog was used to play that part. You can read about Pete AND view his UKC pedigree on the site below, proving that he was most certainly a Pit Bull.

What kind of dog treats do you think I should get for my chihuahua?
I've tried many but he doesn't want them...I would like to train him to do things like sitting and other tricks but he doesn't like treats.hmmmm...
Answers:
Just because he doesn't like treats doesn't mean you can't train him - In fact, it's better if you DON'T train with treats - A lot of dogs end up "Food motivated", where they will only respond to commands if there is a treat involved.
Use extreme praise or toys when training.
Try tiny bits of meat.. or another brand of treats. Maybe he just likes toys more in general.
Keep any eye on the pet product recall, to make sure you do not end up purchasing a treat that is recalled. Many stores have taken all recalled products off the shelf, but with more products being recalled everyday, you have to be careful.
A friend of mine, does a wonderful idea. She used the dog's food, as a treat, too. That way, there's no ''fussy'' dogs.
I train my dog with bits of hot dogs it worked for me.
Well if he doesn't like treats then don't bother with them. Go with what makes your Chi most happy! If you do try out a few brands of treats be careful which ones you pick! I'm sure you are just as worried as the rest of us with the pet food scare lately! I recently bought a cookbook through a rescue group (PAp911) for food and treats! There are all kinds of great treat ideas floating around that you can make at home.
Cheese . You can cut it in little quarters .
It's irresitable for dogs
I have several Chihuahuas and they are fairly easy to train but most are very finicky eaters. I have tried several treats from the store and have not found much they like. I will use small pieces of meat such as steak or pork that is left over from meals on occasion, but they don't always want to eat. Your dog is happy when they please you, so with that in mind praise is the best way to go. Most dogs naturally do what you want to "train" them to do (i.e. sit, lay, speak,etc.). If you can use these commands when they do these particular things, they will put the command with the activity and will be "trained". It does take time and alot of patience on your part. Good Luck!
Treats aren't necessary to train your Chi, but it can help. Meat treats are good, but mine love cheese! They also love chicken breast (cut up into very small cubes, of course), or chicken "jerky." You can buy little rounds or tenderloin strips of dried chicken in most grocery stores. My dogs are crazy for the jerky (which is actually harder than the jerky you and I would eat) and it takes them several long minutes to eat one.
As far as other treats are concerned, stay away from hard bones, the plastic or starchy BOODHA bones, and definitely stay away from rawhide! It can bind them up and cause bowel obstruction that can kill them.
EDIT: FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T GIVE YOUR DOG CHOCOLATE MILK, OR CHOCOLATE ANYTHING. Dogs lack the enzyme to digest milk in any case, and it can cause stomach upset and loose stool. Chocolate in any amount can KILL your little friend!
try giving it a small piece of steak or something not an entire one or try giving it a little chocolate milk...my dog loves it but be careful, chocolate milk causes dogs to get a bit hyper and they may start ripping stuff if given large doses (sounds like a drug doesn't it)

What kind of dog that stays 2 feet long and stay under 75 pounds?
Answers:
A Basset Hound.
I own three right now. They are the best dogs you could ask for.
They stay about 2 feet long or so and never normally weigh above 75 lbs.I've never heard of a Basset weighing over even 70 lbs.
Well, my nine year old Basset, he's sort of smaller than most and he weighs about 45 lbs, then my 3 yr old girl, man shes a pretty big set basset hound and weighs only 55 lbs. My other is just a 8 week old puppy.
But they are truly a wonderful, gorgeous, well behaved breed.
You can always go with a sheep dog or a sheep dog mix. My dog is a sheep dog/Lab mix(might have a couple of other types in there, im not sure) and she is about 55 lbs and around 2 feet long.
Daschund
a basset hound
West Highland Terrier

BULLDOG
We have a black Lab and we also had a Lab before this one. I would really recommend this breed. Ours love children, are smart and if you have alot of room to run or swim :), they will love it! They are good dogs!
Golden retriever is america's favorite dog, this breed is very friendly with family and loves kids.

Good Luck! PeAcE~LoVe~RoCk'N'rOll
the type of dog really matters on how active your family is. how much shedding can you handle? I sugest you go to dogbreeds.com or AKC.com they have good info on dog breeds also don't buy your dog from a pet store they are like puppy factories and the puppys aren't usually healthy. ask people with dogs or a local vet where a good breeder of the breed you think is right for your family. old dogs are calmer but puppys are like a clean slate you can mold them into whatever you want with the right training.
depending where you are from. staffies and believe it or not pit bulls are great child friendly dogs, they are very good with children, but its best to get them from pups, and a good family breeder they have a bad name but its because they get into the wrong hands, its all about the deed not the breed
i owned tons of different breeds and the only breed I fell totally in love with is the Labrador Retrievers. As far as versatility, devotion, intelligence goes they are one of the best. They love kids and other dogs. They are fun loving, and easy going. My nephews take my Labs hiking, camping, kayaking, swimming and in the winter the go sledding with them. The kids can interact with so much and they are very tolerant. I have young nieces and nephews that are tough on them and they just sit there and take it. I do not have to worry about the kids and their friends when they are aound the dogs. The Labs are also highly intelligent so they are easy to train. Their devotion to you and family is unmatched.
Check out the Miniature Schnauzer. Very protective, tough, a little hard headed, and very loving. Shedding hair, none
definitely go with a lab, they are the most loyal, lovable dogs that you can get! i love my lab. I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old and he will follow the 3 month old anywhere she goes and he is not rough, she could do anything to him and he will just lay there or sit there then lick her! and he will sit next to my 5 month old if she is in her swing or bouncy.
they are just all around good dogs, i recommend getting a lab :)
