Well, I'm very pleased to report that Henry seems to have learned his skunk lesson. I was recently out walking him on-leash around midnight when he saw something moving around under some nearby fir...

Quite right. I have heard them referred to as "Beagles on Steroids", hehe. They are also related to, and closely resemble Foxhounds (or Walker Hounds as they are called in the U.S.), and they are...

My Harrier Hound requires at least one good hour-long RUN in the field once a day, but he usually gets two such runs. Then he's so tired that he also spends the rest of the time sleeping....LOL....

Hi Dusty! I'll bet little Oscar is just too cute for words. I don't know much about basset hounds. Do they require a lot of exercise? What's their energy level like? And are they affectionate dogs?...

Wow, 19 is old for any dog, but especially for a hound. I sure hope my Henry lives as long. Henry is not interested in birds, but loves to track rabbits and groundhogs. He rarely catches the rabbits,...

I am in COMPLETE AGREEMENT with you about that. I feel it should only be used as an absolute last resort, and only where the dog's behaviour is a danger to himself and/or others and therefore MUST be...

Yes, it is natural for dogs to growl, and snarl, and "bite" when playing. Puppies just need to be taught to tone it down sometimes. When my dog gets a little too rough (which is not very often...

Thanks for posting this. It confirms what I have always known -- that my dog can hear thunder long before we can. Like the article says, it must be a frequency thing.

All of my dogs have been afraid of thunder and loud noises like firecrackers. My cockerspaniel, Ben, used to be afraid of cats -- would cross the street to avoid one -- until he got to know my...

Dear Cocker-Lover:

Oh, my god, look at all those cockerspaniels. Are they all yours? The handsome blonde fellow in the upper left-hand corner is the SPITTING IMAGE of my cockerspaniel, Ben. Ben...

What a handsome puppy you are Thor. Look at those paws! What a big fella you're going to grow up to be. Don't let those cats push ya around.... when push comes to shove, you could easily take them...

Bubba -- your name could not suit you more, as you are just so bubbalicious. My cockerspaniel, Ben, used to sleep on his back as well, as the smartest dogs do. 'Cause you never know when a human may...

Welcome, Taylor's Mom. I'm pretty new here myself. I'm human companion to Henry the Harrier Hound & Angel the Calico Cat. I look forward to seeing some pictures of your "boy".....

It was likely some critter they had NEVER smelled before, and hence the excitement. I remember the first time Henry smelled the deer that sometimes show up near our place -- he was beside himself!

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions! I actually discovered the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda recipe on the internet shortly after I started this thread, and used it right away. It's...

Whenever someone asks me what kind of a dog they should get, I always respond by asking a series of pertinent questions to determine which kind of breed would best suit their lifestyle. Such as, how...

Sure is! Everyday! And so am I!

Hooch, you great, big, burly, sexy guy you. You are the Barry White of dogs. I'm so glad you have found a family that so appreciates and treasures you. I know that you will make sure that no harm...

Funny.... I don't remember saying ANYTHING about how YOU should train YOUR dog, and wouldn't presume to do that. I was only discussing my own particular dog, situation, and experience..... which is...

It's Gizmo! The hardest working dog is show business! Can I hire you as the entertainment at my next party?
