If you do a search, you'll find a few threads with all kinds of different ideas. I used to paint tail tips until a super mom decided even the tails should be spotless- now I use tiny Lupine puppy...

I learned FF from a retired field trial pro in Enderby, BC by the name of Doug Grant. Prior, I had watched Smart works and Mike Lardy's DVD's but felt like I needed hands-on help before doing it...

We tattoo all of our pups at around 7 weeks. No big deal. They yipe when you close the pliers and then it's over. We use the Ketchum brand tattoo plier and letters which I ordered through the...

I assume you are looking for a hunting or hunt test type of Lab? I think you will find many good breeders to choose from in that area, but I have personal experience with Lock Five Labs in Tennessee...

This process is the way I would and have handled it with dogs who were resource guarding in the past (although I confess that I do not prescribe to the dominance theory). It is all well and good to...

This is true- pick a method and stick with it, the biting doesn't go away immediately, it is something that reduces gradually over several weeks. Bite inhibition is something that does not...

Pretty sure at least 8! Maybe 9 (or more). Congrats! :)

Yikes! I have no experience with this but am glad your dog survived. What symptoms occurred that alerted you to a problem?

Definitely want to add my thanks!It is so much appreciated!

Thank you I will forward this and report back when an update is available.

Thanks Dr. Ed,
Do you think it could it be just a really bad case of laryngitis? or something more serious. The 'shredded tonsils' description sounds pretty horrifying. Are there any specific...

A gap between puppies, as long as the dam is resting is fine. This is called the 'whelping pause'. I've had it go as long as 8 hours and it is nerve racking if it's more than a couple hours (for me,...

It's a puppy that I bred that is training for search and rescue. This is what the owner wrote to me after I asked for clarification on the symptoms that led to the vet visit:

Dr. Ed, what would the symptoms be to suspect hypoplastic trachea?

I have done some preliminary searching and it seems like this is a fairly common condition in small breed, middle aged dogs, and can also result from trauma to other breeds (choke chain often...

Great story, and I think the conclusion you reached is very wise and far beyond your 'rookie' status! :)

Here's a suggestion though- how about playing a little fetch with one of the orange...

I can't answer for Danielle, but the only C-section we've had to date (thankfully! hope I'm not jynxing this!) was my 5 year old Twig during her 2nd litter. 3 puppies born naturally and the 4th was a...

Very cool, congratulations!!! Look at those muscles, fabulous to see such a nice fit Lab out representing our breed!!!!

Nice puppy, congrats, looks like she is definitely on the right track!

Swack, my old girl had an episode when she was about 12- scared the heck out of me! Never had an ear infection, just woke up one morning, was unable to eat (I suppose lowering her head made her too...
