    Dog question - kind of emergency

    Neutered males can still breed and tie females. They just don't have the 'testes' to produce sperm. How long has it been since they were neutered? Reason I ask is that there is some 'carry over' after neutering when they still have 'swimmers'! Several weeks but not sure exactly how long.

    GAHHHHHH! What To Do For Car Sick Pup??

    I use Bonine with my pups who get car sick. Works the same as Dramamine but does not sedate them. I've used it for years, safely! Worse thing is for her to continue to get sick in the vehicle as she will soon associate the vehicle with getting sick. Vicious cycle and harder to break! Try to...

    New Irish pup!!!

    If it were me, I would wait. This female has a lot more white on her than is 'allowed' per the AKC Standard. So much so, that you have pointed it out. The standard reads: Color Mahogany or rich chestnut red with no black. A small amount of white on chest, throat or toes, or a narrow centered...

    Our Situation: Our current flock consists of seven ducks and six chickens. Next year our plans are to expand to about 12 of each plus a couple of geese! We live in South/Central Texas so do not get the winters that many of you do. Heat is more of a problem down here! Our birds free range...

    Introduction and Question!

    As you can tell from my 'User Name', the Ducks have me! We got our first three Rouen's as day olds from a friend. When they were three weeks old we got the parents! We put the two groups together and don't have much trouble. They will hang together when in their pen but break into two groups...
