Puppies Dogs Canines

Kaycie asked:


We adopted pets from a rescue, but we can’t seem to get the former foster mom to stop calling to check on them. She emails/calls at least 3x a week. We’ve tried dropping polite hints like We’ll contact you if we need anything, but no luck. What do we do?

First of all. I am an animal and dog lover. The shelters are overpopulated by large unwanted dogs millions of which are euthanized everry year. Most shelters will have very few if any small dogs and most have a long adoption waiting list for small dogs.
Large dogs have two or three times the number of pups per birth than small dogs do.
So there is clearly a very serious problem with large dog overpopulation.
In addition, large stray dogs acan be a serious danger resulting in thousands of serious hospitalized dog maulings every year.
So should all large dogs be required to be fixed by one year old unless it belongs to a licensed dog breeder?
Again SMALL DOGS are not the problem. In fact there is a shortage of them judging by the shelters long waiting lists for adoption so that is obviously a waste of time and resources. It is the large dogs who have 10-12 pups per litter vs small dogs 3-4 pups per litter.

The 2 puppies just turned 6 weeks old. The vet said we should have the weaned by the middle of next week. He suggested giving them puppy food with water or milk ground up in the blender. We’ve been doing this since last Tuesday and the puppies seem to only eat a small bit each time. One puppy tends to eat more than the other. I try to feed them at least 4 times a day. They still try to suck on their mom whenever she is around. Any ideas for helping the process along?

My 6 month AB/Lab mix LOVES going to the dog park. We take her a couple times a week. But my husband wants to take her more often, I’m personally afraid she will pick up bad habits.

I have heard other dog owners say that their dog has become defensive or aggressive after incidents at a dog park. She has such a sweet and mild tempermant now and I worry she will change having too much interaction with some of these dogs. What do you think?

i live roughly 200′ from train tracks and every time a train goes by and blows the whistle, my dog nearly yelps. its like a howl/yelp and im wondering if it hurts her ears or if she is just being an obnoxious dog, or some of both.

Jen asked:


We have a Maltese whom we are going to be breeding (with other maltese) in the future. While being watched by a friend of ours while we were out of town, she mated with a neighbor’s begeal and is now pregnant. We have found a good homes for up to 3 puppies, but I’ve read conflicting information over whether a first litter is larger or smaller than usual. All of the information I have is on breeding maltese with maltese, does the father’s breed make a difference in the mechanics of pregnancy and birth? Does anyone have any puppy-rearing advice, I want to make sure I do everything right by the pups. Any help would be appreciated!
