It looks likes mites to me. Our boxer had them a few months ago. He had to be on 2 rounds of antibiotics before they went away. Our vet just scraped an area, and new right away. Once they were gone, it takes awhile for the hair to grow back. Good luck!

I have a 4 month old, and he was in the front yard with us all day while we did yard work. Now he has a rash all over in b/t his hind legs. Is this just irritation from the grass, or is it something I should be concerned about? It doesn't seem to bother Hogan, but it looks terrible. Also can...

How much water should I let my 4 month old drink. I feel mean taking his bowl away, but its seems like when he gets bored he goes to his bowl and is forever drinking. Should I only put in down when I feed him? Tonight for instance he peed 3 times in 2 hours, doesn't that seem like a lot? I...

I think our 4 month old has separation anxiety or behavior issues. We put him in a crate at bedtime and during the day when we are gone. He holds it all night long for 6-7 hours and pees right away outside. He always goes to the door when we are home to pee and poop. Now when we are gone...

Hogan stills cries in his crate and he is 14 wks today. During the night he does okay, but we had to move the crate next to our bed to get any rest at night. We tried the basement, then the spare room and our last attempt was our bedroom, which has worked a lot better. He likes the closeness...

We leave him with his favorite toy, and his nyla bone that he loves. We always give him a treat after he goes in his crate and praise him. I think we just need to give it time. Sometimes I wonder if he gets excited when he hears the garage door open and close. I don't know.

For some reason our 3 month old potties in his crate everytime we are gone, even if it is for a couple hours. We make sure and take him potty before we leave, but when we get back there is wet spot on the sheet that is almost dry, which tells me he probably peed right away. His crate is a...

All I do is sleep!

I just love my new polo!

Hogan's arrived! I wish we could come play this weekend, but we will be out of town. The grandparents get Hogan this weekend. I'm going to feel so bad leaving him. He has adapted well to the crate, and has already taken over the couch. We just love him. I'll have to get some pictures uploaded.

Hogans breeder To reply to your question...we are getting Hogan from Champion Kennel in Seymour, Missouri. We spoke with a few different breeders that had litters available for March and that also had flashy fawns. Some were sketchy. The breeder we chose sent a picture of Hogan and we were...

I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a vet. We live in West Omaha and need some recommendations. Growing up our family went to the Ralston vet, but if possible we would like to go to one on our side of town. We pick Hogan up in three weeks, so need to find someone. Thanks for your...

nervous new mom We are located in Omaha and are so excited to be picking Hogan up in 3 weeks. We have to drive about 6 hours to get him. I have a feeling it may be a long ride home with many pit stops. We will be using a travel crate, but I'm slightly nervous about the whole thing. Any advice?
