Small Dogs

[zoomer]

one thing to say they aren't the ones causing the arguments and saying that they are is prolly hurting there feelings and that is not nice. but that's what i have to say i can see what Makayla is going through also with Sarah.

Thank you! Thank god someone understands.

ETA2: And are you yourself not a PTer?

I meant other PTers

Alright, then.

You want suggestions on what kind of show dog to get?

First do you mind me asking what Diesel and Lola's registered names are, I'm really curious.

And you need something small and obviously short coated because grooming is an issue. I suggest a Pug. They shed, but that's not an issue for your family. Another option would be a French Bulldog, but they can be difficult to housetrain and very expensive off the bat as puppies simply because they're somewhat rare. I think a Pug would be best, they're relatively easy dogs.

Come on guys! If you don't want a fight ALL of you need to stop contributing. Either reply with something related to the original question, or let this thread go.

Your Welcome Makayla. So has your mother said anything about Chihuahuas? I also recommend a Miniture Boston Terrier, or a French Bull Dog.

Diesel's is High Octane Diesel Douglas
And to be honest, I'm not entirely sure about Lola's. Last time I heard they hadn't thought of it yet.

I agree with you.

"Miniature" Boston Terriers don't exist. A Chihuahua you would have to be *very* careful about with three BIG dogs around. Although, a Boston Terrier in and of itself would actually be a good idea.

A mini Boston? I've never heard of those. Is it some designer breed like Mini Aussies or something? I haven't talked to my mom about it yet because I've been so mad and focused on how everyone was making this board an argument . But I'll talk to her today.

Yea i think so because my friend Brittany she has a miniature Boston Terrier.

If you're looking for a show dog, a "miniature" Boston Terrier will not work, as they do not exist. They are a marketing ploy

tumors can't be controlled to tell you the truth. . I know that every dog can get them and is supseptiable to them. but I would get Alaska checked out by the vet and hopefully they are benign.

What are the signs of the dogs getting a tumor? or can you not tell that well?

Wow, I am very surprised this us just continuing on, and on, and on and has not gotten anywhere.

Firstly, What happened to the fact that zoomer, warah, and whatever other screennames these girls have - leaving? Did they not say they disliked Pet Talk, disliked a majority of us, and wanted to leave. Why publically state you are "leaving" and then just stick around?


Secondly, It is not something wrong to think of a future dog. While personally I do not believe OP is educated and responsible enough to even have one dog, I'm pretty sure we are ALL guilty of thinking about future dogs. However, I do disagree with the treatment of Alaska. Cysts, cancerous or not, can be very bothersome. It is best to get them removed either way. They can grow and cause problems for the dog, especially if cancerous.

There is no way to prevent tumors/cysts. That's just bizzare. You can however take the responsible and necessary percautions to have them checked out.


Thirdly, There are a few people in here who should never even dare to speak of how other's treat their animals. Take a look in the mirror. No one here is perfect. A lot of you use the excuse "I have no control, it's my parent/s!!"

Why should this child be any different?


Fourthly,

I don't know if there is a way ? none of my dogs have or had tumors, but I am just saying it's not her fault that Alaska have tumors but it is best to get them looked at. and like I said hopefully they'll be benign (meaning not cancerous)

[Vette]

Miss.Bri.. you have no room to talk. you who couldnt even get your own mother to take YOU to the ER/doctor over your ankle,, because she didnt have the 'money' at the time.. makes me wonder if she'll take Roxey or Lilly into the vets if something pops up thatll cost over a thousand dollars..


heres your quote incase you forgotten about it.

Ouch.. She just says she can't afford the ER bill though.. because it'd be around $1000 +.. but she'd like to take me, yet she won't.. =/

link to the quote found here http://petoftheday.com/talk/showpost...8&postcount=24

anyway... my point is.. its up to the 'parent/s' of the kids to take care of these animals when it comes to 'money' they are the ones providing the income.. not the kid. i dont care how old or young he or she is,, unless that person has a job their own then he or she is not responsible in those fields for the animal/s. you wouldnt consider a 9 year old responsible for the death of a pet because the parents couldnt afford treatment for whatever the animal had,, because its obvious the child very much relies on that parents. well same case here. just because she 16 doesnt make it less of a factor... they are depended on the PARENT to take the animal/s to the vet(and pay for whatever might be wrong with the pet/s) a kid can only take care of the pet/s needs so much... then its the parents responsibly from there.

and yes Bri i know what your excuse will be. 'its not about me'
yeah well... arent you lucky.

Yea i'm with you on what you just said. I just want to be on the safe side to know how they get the tumors. I have never had a dog in my family that had any cancer type in them they were all healthy just gotten old.
