What Type Of Dog Should I Get?
My parents have decided to let my sister and I get a dog! =) We're both teenages and would prefer a small to medium-sized dog, not like a retriever-sized, but not a tiny Paris-Hilton type. I'd like to have a breed that's friendly, caring, playful, loving, loyal.. and basically all the great qualities of a dog. I really like Cockapoos, but what's the best kind of them to get, and are there any other good breeds you recommend? One more thing.. would yolu recommend getting a full-grown dog or a 1-year old puppy or something? We'd want it to be little when ...
What Should I Know Before Buying My Own Dog?
Okay, so I am a teenager, old enough to get a job, and I am very responsible and my mother agrees that if I pay for my own dog I can do it - but I have to pay for the vet bills, the toys, food, and anything else that comes along with it. However, she said if the dog gets really sick, she will pay for any surgeries that may need to be performed. I do not plan on getting pet insurance, btw. I was just wondering what initial costs there will be besided the actually price of the dog... ...
How Do I Train My Dog To Be Offleash!?
My dog,Magie, Is a 1 year old cockapoo puppy. She is on her leash 24/7 and always in our sight. We have to put baby gates up so she doesnt go into the basement. The reason why we do this is because if we let her off the leash and full range of the house (we tried this many times) she will run around and poop everywhere even if we just took her outside! If we try to grab her to put her back on the leash she will growl and bite! How can I teach her to be offleash ...
Any Ideas On How To Keep My Lab/pit Mix Out Of The Cow Pastures?
My husband and I own two dogs...a 7mth old cockapoo (Pepper) and a 7mth old Lab/Pit mix (Bandit). They are both indoor dogs but they have to go out to potty, for walks and to play.

Is Having Two Puppies From The Same Litter Bad?
i bred cockapoo puppies and have a buyer wanting two puppies. iv'e heard though that it's bad to do that because they don't have to love you because they always have each other. also that they'll never learn thier name because you're always saying two, and if you yell at one the other thinks he's being yelled at, resulting in them never getting trained. any help??

Having A Dog In College?
I am a 21 year old college student at UVA and I am about to go home for the summer.

Should Changing Puppy’s Food Cause Him To Poop Every 10-20 Min All Day And Night, Will This Balance Out?
We got our Cockapoo from breeder and within 4 day we noticed looser poop and blood in his stool. The Vet checked him and he had parasites and was on a week of medicine and boiled chicken and rice or boil hamburger diet. He improved and was only out once a night to go to the bathroom so we put him back on his puppy chow food (same as breeder). He started getting loose stool and blood again, so we had him checked out again, Vet said it probably is just that puppy food not agreeing with ...

How To Stop My Dog Peeing On Rugs?
I have a 4 year old bichon cockapoo and he keeps peeing inside on the rugs. He knows its wrong and he'll run away when he knows we've found it but we don't know how to stop him. We have a large on in the family room that he pees on. He always goes outside for pees but he still continues to pee inside. The smell may have soaked through to the hardwood, if so what do you suggest to remove the smell? We've bought several new rugs, as he totally wrecks them by peeing on them- any suggestions as ...
