Where is "like" on this forum!

If a breeder or group of breeders is intentionally breeding for a trait that is objectively at odds with the breed standard (color, as opposed to subjective...

Well, I know of one that is about 6.5, but I wouldn't call that old. He is behind a couple silver and dilute carrier dogs that were at a hunt test in Idaho I went to, remarkably enough he has a...

Whether or not there was a cross to elkhounds in Europe, the d gene locus (responsible for dilution of chocolate to silver in Weims and silver "Labs") is not the gene that gives elkhounds their...

I had one that would do that, it lessened as the dog matured. My theory, empty stomach get a little over acid waiting for breakfast. Don't know why they would produce less acid in the daytime though....

Speaking to the dairy cow question. A common reason to cross Jersey with Holstein (Friesian) is for calving ease in first calf heifers, using a Jersey bull on the Holsteins to get smaller calves. I...

I guessed, and then looked her up. I've seen a litter of his puppies in person, and of course many photos online as well.

Diggs puppies and grandpuppies are gorgeous. I'm sad he's gone.

The dog does not have to come to heel. Don't know about squatting down but you can lean over and grab (or catch in the air if dog starts to drop it) the bird as soon as the dog is back on the line....

Also, have you looked at this webpage? http://www.2ndchance.info/cushings.htm
It is mostly about the disease and drug management, but does have some references to possibly using retinoic acids,...

I don't know of anything that would make those go away, but have you looked at the book, The Goldstein's Wellness and Longevity Program? It has some nutritional, herbal, and glandular supplement...

The easiest way to find a eye clinic at a show is to look here, http://www.offa.org/clinics.html

I am not certain every show clinic gets listed on the OFA website, but it is difficult to keep...

Dogs don't get excused for lack of merit just because they are moderate in build. There are moderately built show labs, and sometimes they even win! Not that it wouldn't be nice if there were more of...

I would not count on the other one dropping, really should have already. The vet will need to go in for the other one when the dog is neutered, makes it a little more complicated, like a spay. Has to...

Yeah, but what I was wondering was if this is the gene that gets them that look.

Well, there is no commercial test yet. It would be nice if those researchers were looking for the gene(s) that cause epilepsy or tricuspid valve dysplasia instead of short legs, but it is still...

Thanks for posting. Interesting, I wonder if this gene is why some show bred labs have big bodies on short legs.

You are lucky. Eating that much fat all at once can cause pancreatitis in some dogs, which can be life threatening.

Anyway, I second the salmon oil suggestion, following label directions....

Since her parents have documented clearances for CNM and EIC the only thing people might want you to prove is that her parentage is accurate. To do that her and her parents would each need a DNA...

Osteochondrosis. One of the same issues that occurs in the elbows. I have dog with shoulder OCD. She is not HT or field bred though. Was mildly lame from about 7 to 10 months, vet could hear crepitus...

You may just be asking for the final product when you need to start at the beginning with the treats. Maybe start with the first goal being for the dog to simply not pull the foot away when you touch...

Well, I'm no expert, but... No, I think reaction to the vet office is directly linked to what experiences the dog has had in the past, especially as a puppy. Even shots or having blood drawn hurts....

It isn't like the tests are long-term. A dog can live on almost anything for six months, that is the minimum time frame required, doesn't say much about the long-term healthfulness of the food. I...

For wheelchair dogs I'd think retrieving would be a high priority, but does not seem to be a major consideration for some service. When I raised a puppy for Guide Dogs for the Blind, any retrieving,...

Why don't you look into Precise or Nutrisource brands, the corn in the pro plan could be the problem and both those brands have formulas similar to pro plan but with better quality ingredients....

If you are talking about the location Breck posted the map for, the fish and game hunt planner website shows it as private.
