    Neutering Male Boxer

    I was wondering if there is an age limit to having this operation done? My dog is 7 month next week and i'm not completely decided yet. What behavior will occur if I don't do this, besides the chance of cancer?:confused:

    bones sticking out of his ribcage- is that normal?

    Hello, I was wondering if this was normal - my boxer has like a pointy bone sticking out of his rib cage on both sides. It does not seem to bother him or hurt him in anyway and it is only apparent when he breathes very deeply on makes certain movements. :confused:

    Shedding Hair, is it seasonal?

    What kind of brush or comb is best to take out most of the dead hair? :( My husband likes my dog very much but he is tired of picking hair everywhere. How often should we brush them? One last question how often should we bathe them?

    I was wondering how long is it normal for a 6 week old puppy to go between peeing again? It seems that he is doing just that. Luka can go sometimes twice in an half hour before he falls asleep again. It is hard to just keep an eye on him at «all» times and I just seem to be always walking in...
