That story is so heartwrenching I am a new mom and was considering breeding my beautiful girl, (not to sell, just to add to the family) and have changed my mind. I can not begin to say how sorry I am for your losses, and hope the remaining 4 have a healthy, fullfilled life with wonderful...

She's done a complete 360 turn around!!! Wow, guys I don't know what happened, but in the last 2 days she is acting like the kids best friend! Gretchen is all about snuggeling and kissin the kids.What could have happened? She's not even trying to play bite them or bite their feet! I hope it's...

Your baby will learn, give it time. I brought my Gretchen home at 6 weeks (which I know now was'nt so good), and imediately named her on the way home. My husband and I would play with her and say *good girl Gretchen* or when she went potty outside, the same thing. After she started to get...

My baby is 11 weeks and she does fairly well on the nylon leash. The collar is also nylon. When we walk her she pulls herself so hard she sounds like she's strugeling to breath. Is this an appropriate time for a choker collar? She really likes to control the walks and she's killing my shoulders...

Thanx Guys Well, it's nice to know that at least my dog is normal. LOL. I never leave the kids unattended, I already know how that goes. Leave them alone for just a second and all heck breaks loose. Like I said, she does very well with my husband and I with the play biting, but my kids don't...

My 11 week old fur baby bit my skin baby in the face for no reason. My son is 3 and a half and is now pretty afraid of her. She bit him on the nose and drew a little blood and she did this un-provoked. Can someone please tell me why she is so aggressive with my kids. She also terrorizes my 6...

Gotta love the puppy breath! Yes we do love her. My kids like her, but she trys to play to rough with them. She's still learning what her teeth do and what they're for. I've taken lots of pics and theres more to come. Right now there's a problem with her leg, broken growth plate is what her vet...

Wow!!! Everything on the outdoor plant list just about sums up everything I have throughout my yard! That's scary. It's a good thing we built a fenced part of the yard that does'nt have any plants in it. That was some very much needed info and I'm printing it out for future reference. Thanks alot.

can anyone tell me what the disadvantages are to feeding eukanuba puppy? I have an 8 week old girl and want the best for her, and it seems others have a negativity about eukanuba. Can someone tell me why? I don't understand all the big name mumbo jumbo in the list of ingredients. HELP

She's doing much better now! Gretchen seems to be more comfortable in her crate now!! YEAH!!! She even walks in by herself, but does'nt stay long. The only time we have an uproar is when we're home and put her there. She still does'nt like that. She did begin using the potty in it, but since I...

Gretchen does the weirdest things! When she plays, she sometimes gets too rough and we have to tell her NO! Well like any kid, she has learned to argue with us! It's so funny. We'll stop playing with her and she'll hop around barking and growling as if to tell us " hey, I'm not done yet!" She...

Gretchen's update Well, we took Gretchen to the vet about her bowed front paw and I don't know if they really know what they're talkin about! Her doc. said she brook her growth plate and now one bone has stopped growing and the other continues to grow. He took pics. so in a year when she's full...

I am the proud new mom of a precious fawn baby girl. She's 7 weeks old now and growing cuter and more stuborn everyday. She is 11 pounds now and just the happiest little thing in the world. Our family recently lost our boxer Sassy (she was 8 years old) to cancer and desperately wanted another...

Thanx guys for all your advice and help Thanks for helping me. I guess I should have learned more about the puppy stages before I brought her home, but I thought she was coming from a very good home. I think maybe I was wrong. I did'nt know 6 weeks was too early to seperate them. My...

Gretchen is now 7 weeks old and she's not chewing on much else but the family members! We've tried ignoring her and it seems to make her attack the kids even more. My 3 year old is getting pretty scared of her now. This is not what I expected when we choose to get another boxer. Our last boxer...
