    BAD Behavior - PLEASE HELP!!

    One more thing... If you do decide to have him put down, I would not recomend that you adopt another rescue. The potential for another problem dog is great.

    BAD Behavior - PLEASE HELP!!

    Jake's Story I feel for your situation, I too have an unpredictable rescued male boxer. Jake came from a family that had no time for him. He was kept in his crate nearly 24 hours a day, never socialized around other dogs, and may have been otherwise abused. We have had him for nearly a year...

    they look like warts ...

    If they look like warts, they probably are. Dogs get a papiloma virus just like people do. Its most common on the mucous membranes (lips and mouth) in dogs less than 2 years old. Their immune system will take care of it, but it can take a few months, and sometimes they get really ugly. Peach...

    Hello from Ohio :)

    Sorry, I didn't realize PM's were disabled. I never use them, but I knew they were an option with this program. I guess you'll just have to post for advice and we can all help! Kisha

    Hello from Ohio :)

    It's nice to see another cleveland boxer owner! We are in Euclid and would love to have a play date with any other Boxers in the area. Feel free to PM me if you need advice on where to find food, vet, dog parks, trainers, etc. I know you will have fun with you new girl, but there will be...

    Do you love your baby’s underbite?

    Peach has an underbite that is a bit too much. When she is tired her tounge slips out of the gap. It's the silliest thing I've ever seen. She also falls asleep like this and the end of her tongue will dry out, so we try to tuck it back in without waking her up. Very funny! See my...

    Help, I think I have a fighter! (longish)

    Ok, after spending an hour on the internet researching this issue I have discovered that this is NOT a problem with Jake. He is a confident male dog and thus does not feel the need to assert(sp?) himself by mounting other dogs. It's the other dogs that feel insecure, or are un-neutered, and...

    Help, I think I have a fighter! (longish)

    Thats kind of what I was thinking. The incident with Mambo (the Pit Bull) was realy bad, this dog has a history of reacting badly when he gets humped. I was watching very closely to be sure that Jake did not hump him, but Mambo humped Jake and started the fight with Jake. Now I'm afraid that...

    Help, I think I have a fighter! (longish)

    Thanks guys, I was starting to get discouraged about the park. I have witnessed dog fights there, but never had to break one up. It's not much fun, and with 2 strong dogs (Peach likes to join in and then they fight with eachother) it's really difficult. Jake is not aggressive, it's just when...

    Help, I think I have a fighter! (longish)

    NO-he is not agressive with other males,that I have seen. We were peacefully at the park for a good 20 min. before the agressive behavior and resulting fight. I have also never seen him do the humping, except when he and Peach are playing- then they hump eachother, but playfully. If its normal...

    Help, I think I have a fighter! (longish)

    Six weeks ago we adopted a neutered male, 1.5 years old, as a playmate for our 1.5 year old spayed female. They get along great, no problems there. We observed him carefully for a full month before we took him out in public, just incase he had any strange behavior issues that the rescue didn't...

    Eastlake, Ohio Dog Park?

    This is the dog park that I go to the most with my 2, Peach and Jake. Just wondering if there is anyone else from BW that goes there? It looks like the city has stopped funding the park and it is now being funded by "donations". This seems fishy to me, like they would rather not have to...

    Very bad inicident at dog park (long)

    This sounds like an accident to me. She may have been too intent on the little dog, but I don't think she was being agressive with the woman. Dog parks are sometimes crazy places and, lets face it, dogs play rough with eachother and when people get in the way they can be injured. It dosn't...

    2 Half Pea Sized Face Bumps

    It could be puppy warts. They are caused by the papilloma virus and will go away on their own, sometimes takes a few months. They usually start off small and can grow fast looking like a mushroom with a colliflower top. They are pink and are usually on the "lip" part of the muzle. Peach had...
