    All right all you dog people...choosing a breed

    Please pardon my long windedness! I am just really passionate about responsible, ethical & purposeful dog breeding. Thanks! AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The best breeders don't discount a dog because it's got an imperfection according to the standard. A breeder who has excellent quality stock...

    All right all you dog people...choosing a breed

    Yes, there are some private organizations who are on the extreme side. All the ARO wakos, PeTA, HSUS, all want to be leftist-extreme and place "guardianship" over what is legally property. I mean, yes, I adore my dogs- every dog I have ever owned has been my house pet. I don't keep a kennel-...

    All right all you dog people...choosing a breed

    agreed! Many females are brought into shelters pregnant, she'll whelp her litter, and both pups & mom go up for adoption- an 8 week pup for a nominal free that usually includes vaccinations & altering (spay or neuter). Many of those are surrendered because she's a PB and the owners were...

    Crusted-over Eye, Damaged Comb, and Lethargic Chick. Really need opinions and help. *pictures*

    glad to hear peep is up & well! Do also get some terramycin or similar eye ointment- they protect against fungal infections also. I have even used it on myself when a rash of eye infections was going around the kennels (I worked at Animal Control) and of course, handling & treating all the...

    All right all you dog people...choosing a breed

    What an excellent article. I am going to include a link to it on my own website. I have a nice little educational section started... Jen P & the Pack thinking what a handsome Akbash Dog (or maybe a short coat Anatolian, but I don't think a Kangal though...)

    Problem with Legs

    I feel so awful to be the bearer of bad news!!! I would take your pullet into a vet for a blood draw (for blood, they don't have to be a specialist) for them to send off to a lab for testing. In the mean time, keep your gal on STRICT QUARANTINE! (like change clothes or wear gloves & a...

    What colour is my Roo?

    I have an old friend that is a chicken show judge who keeps Cochins and Pekins. I have never seen this colour before, even though I've seen quite a few crosses of colour with as many birds as he had... sure wish I could tell you what colour to call him... You have a real looker though! What a...

    Pyxis- I sure hope you check your emails before you head out in the am... don't go to your vet- you'll get robbed! Well, maybe this once since you don't have any on hand... next time you need fix-up supplies for your birds, shop online at http://www.jefferslivestock.com Jeffers sells many...

    Problem with Legs

    Welp Hatchery offers Marek's vaccine for less than 20 cents a bird (I ordered a batch of birds from there last year and they've done well)- but you have to pay extra for Marek's disease vaccination. Did you have your chicks vaccinated when you bought them? If not, I'm really sorry but that...

    All right all you dog people...choosing a breed

    No responsible breeder is going to send home a puppy without having met the family- so why is your aunt having you shop for this dog? Anybody (so-called) "breeding" Labradoodles is NOT a responsible breeder! (see comment from dianerra- that is right on the money!) People breeding "designer"...

    Quasimodo...what to do, what to do...

    Jeff- Is this bird eating, drinking & doing what the other chickens her age do? If the answers to all are "yes", and she's a pet, let her stick around so long as she has quality of life. I'm a CVT (certified veterinary technician) and in dealing with many people & elderly patients, a...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    My Ameraucana/EE chicks grew up into delightful, friendly puffy-cheeked & bearded green & blue egg layers- and they started laying in February this year! It was still cold out, but I still get at least 4 colored eggs per day. A real sparkle in the dozen for sale... add an Ameraucana! On a...

    Cornish x Rock peep with 2 cloacas!

    NO JOKE!!!! UPDATE 1 APRIL WITH PHOTO 1 April This afternoon I bathed him up again & had to clean up his navel- it had a fragment of eggshell stuck to his feathers around & over it with feces, so I soaked it down & scissored off the fluff there and around his poopers to try and help him...
