I also want to add one more thing. Take your puppy for car rides constantly. Get her used to as many different things as you can because trying to wrestle a scared, frightened, or unruly 150-200lb dog into a car or other situation is not fun. I'm not trying to be mean but times have changed and...
Locking a 6 week old puppy in a barn by itself is cruel and will cause issues later. First off she's too young to be taken from her mother. A good breeder would have kept her til at LEAST 8 weeks. But now you have this puppy and she needs to be socialized not locked in a barn. And it's a good...

That sounds like a person I delt with last summer with my ducks.
I had a lady who was buying DOZENS, literally 3, 4 dozen eggs from me at a time to "eat", she then turned around hatched the eggs and sold the ducklings for TWICE what I sold her the eggs for, AND tried to claim then as...
This is Remy.
He's a Catahoula Leopard Dog.
He's now 1 year and 4 months old.
He's been a pain, a joy, and a dear. And he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Yup I love my dog. But the best thing is that I am so proud of my Remy Dog. Because we've been struggling with his recall for...
I can't really add much more on the itchy issue than what other people have said, however I do have a suggestion for cheaper cat litter. My older cat developed asthma and the vet said that cat litters have too much dust in them and it causes asthma. They recommended switching to a feline pine or...
I'd say drop that trainer. To be honest from all of the trainers I've used they've always said "use the motion your dog knows". Because really there's no reason to confuse your dog. If he knows the command using your cue then go for it. And if the trainer insists on using ONLY their cues I'd...
I'm going to second the green bean diet. My sister's italian greyhound had to go on prednisone and it made her think she was starving all the time. She was eating and gaining weight like crazy. To the point the vet was worried her legs would snap from her weight if she jumped down off the...
Putting bucks together is a bad idea over all. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries and deaths in bucks that were kept together. If you've ever seen Watership Down you will know what I'm saying and that's just a cartoon. Putting more than one buck in with does is also a bad idea because...
I have a Catahoula. He's 4 months old. He came from a good breeder and her dogs are awesome. So I ended up with an awesome pup but he takes a lot of work. We started in puppy class when he was 8 weeks old and we go once a week every week. It's constant to get him to behave but it's worth it...
Kudos on rescuing the mink. Just be aware they can be very vicious and won't hesitate to take a bite out of you. That being said, since he has a mouth wound I'd offer him soft food he can lick up. Critical care for carnivores is good. Sometimes you can get a vet to give you some. If not then...
They are easy to care for. Some people keep them in 10 gallon tanks but I like to give mine more room. Oscar lives in a big indoor rabbit cage that I covered with hardware cloth so he couldn't squeeze out of the bars. He has a bird house he lives in and pvc pipes he crawls through for fun and I...
dmaris, those bright pink tumor looking things are the babies. They look like shiny pink jelly beans.
As for pets they are pretty cool. Oscar is very friendly and loves hanging out in my hair or in my shirt pocket. Germs is ok in my pocket but she's nippy when she doesn't want to be held. She...
Around 25-30 days they will get to the slightly furry stage and drop off mom and live in a nest she makes for them. They stay in the ugly phase for a few weeks. lol
