Hi Melissa,
Many a dog has had gut surgery to remove parts of corn cobs. Not a good
treat for a dog with powerful jaws! The fibrous cob is totally indigestible
and if ingested can cause serious blockage in the intestine. There is a
lot of cellulose in the kernals and the dog cannot properly digest
I have already sent a big cyberspace hug and kiss to Willem for my surprise
painting of Hazel. I live in the deep south and everything is slower here,
especially in the hot summer months, so maybe that is why the package took
so long to arrive. I have to tell ya'll I have been very depressed o
Hi Andie,
Her vet is out of touch with current kibble information.
Most large breed puppy formulas have the same protein level as adult
formulas but the fat level is lower. Specially adjusted for development is
the mineral and vitamin factor. Nonetheless she should follow her breeder's

Obviously Yukon is going to be a tracking dog:-) Who knows he may excel at
Search and Rescue:-) Seriously if you need to get his nose off the floor
the best thing to do is lots of change of direction and change of pace,
that way he'll think you have no idea of where you're going so he'd

I just hate to disagree with Rose about anything.

2001) and had barely finished his Canadian championship. When I look at
photographs of him then, it is quite a different dog. I didn't really notice
him changing, but in the 2

Well do I know how dogs love corn on the cob. But did you know that the
cobs kill? They get stuck in the gut and create a blockage and absorb
toxins. Many dogs have not survived. Emergency surgery saved Boomer when
he was about seven months old after he stole a cob from the hens. We

Just a comment that I wanted to make regarding this topic. I posed the
question a couple of months ago, about the use of different collars when I
was having problems with getting Stevie under control (he thinks he is
Pegasus when it comes to birds!) and after sustaining a rotator cuff injury

I have never had any of my dogs present when I have had another put to

on my grief. The evening after I had Ritzy put to sleep, I lay in bed with

Great point Pat. You are one of two people who have responded with that
point. I should definitely clarify that because I'd hate to have someone
misunderstand and think that giving the entire cob to the dog to nibble on
is a safe idea. EEK! That sounds pretty scary and definitely could cause a
Hi Andie!
If I were your friend and I found the information on neutering given to me
by my breeder conflicting, I'd ask my breeder what he/she meant. Does she
have a contractural obligation to neuter the dog? If so, it should be
spelled out clearly. If it isn't, she should contact her breeder.
Vicky,
Did you ask me or one of the site operators for the family report? It
would all be on that!

Thank you both for sending in this info. I have bookmarked it for future
reference.
Thank you so much

When we helped Bodhi go a couple of weeks ago we made certain that Jack
(younger Berner) was present. Jack had been Bodhi's sidekick for 8 years.
Jack lay next to Bodhi and me through the process. When Bodhi was gone Jack
sniffed him once and patted him with his front paw (he's always been
'handy')

Does Yukon act this way with everyone who walks him, or only with you?
Reason I ask is that our Balou is a Hoover also. He will walk with his head
up only if off-leash and moving fast; otherwise, it's nose to the ground.

I don't think that dogs typically grieve the way people do--they don't have
the logical thought processes to make the basic emotions so complicated, for
instance, no sense of "right" or "wrong" or "fair." However, they do know
that a pack member is missing. And hovering around a distressed human is
Just looking for some thoughts. Yukon is a 15 month old neutered male. He has been in
training since he was 5 months old. He attends "school" three days a week with a
formal training class with Mom each week. He is on a prong collar which is never
needed for any corrections. He is an angel.

Please please leave the temperament issues and the shedding big time in the

impulse buyers of that cute puppy, and ensure only someone who is okay with
these issues buys the pup. I would like these issues to be talked about
