i, too, would be interested in hearing suggestions on collars (brands) that are durable, good looking, easily washable, unique, etc.... that's something a search engine can't help you with. personal experience is what i think is being asked for by the original poster, not just a way to find...

I was visiting a local and reputable pet rescue's web site today and found the following message posted: "WARNING There is a puppy mill operator in Honea Path, SC operating under the aliases . She is allegedly selling dogs all over the country, taking people's money, and never delivering...

I know what you mean. Chews are the only things that my Sadie and Penny will fight over. Step-sisters who just suddenly turn on each other! Nothing really bad but Sadie, who is usually willing to let Penny take ANYTHING from her (even out of her mouth), will snap at Penny and act like a big...

Searched and haven't seen this posted before... makes me smile everytime I read it :) Excerpts from a Boxer's Diary: Day number 180 8:00 AM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE! 9:30 AM - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE! 9:40 AM - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVORITE! 10:30 AM - OH BOY! A CAR...

It's good to find stories that I can relate to. I've already written about my neighbor who lets his white boxer roam the neighborhood (got pregnant and he didn't take care of the mother or litter like he should have) and now he wants to give her up. But then there's the kids far down the...

i have a question for Dan and others who started doing this as a side-business or hobby. how did you handle the income with regards to taxes? was it a huge pain? anything to make it easier come tax time?

My friend was searching to aquire one of these after meeting an owner much like the one you described. He did a lot of research. They are very rare and the ones that own them treat them like they are part of an exclusive club. I do not believe they are AKC registered but the breeders go to...

I've been using BW as a resource for several months now but just recently signed up and have only "dug deep" into the forums this weekend. Good reading! I'm in South Carolina but a North Carolina native. Married one year and the wife and I have had Penny Lane, flashy fawn female (D.O.B...

My vet gave us some of these to try with Penny b/c she's such a chewer and loves rawhide. She told me of the dangers of rawhide and recommended these as an alternative. But they're only sold through vets and are a little pricey. Is there another "over the counter" alternative? Penny loves...

I was feeding PE to Penny for the last 6 months. Stools weren't very firm, either (not bad, just not great). We moved and the local stores didn't have PE so I switched to Chicken Soup. Turns out, the local farm supply store sold Chicken Soup in the large bag for only $24. That's the best...

I've been reading BW all day. Have used BW before as a great resource but today was the first time I've really "dug deep." All the talk about hip problems has me worried, though. Penny is our nearly 1 y.o. Boxer and our first purebred. My parents gave her to us as a gift, neither of us...

Okay, I've read most all of the threads on the first pages of this forum but I'm still puzzled... is there no danger of bacteria or other bad things by feeding raw meat to a dog? I'm admittedly ignorant but also curious. How can domesticated dogs handle these things if us humans can't? I...

I live about 10 minutes from Honea Path. I would suggest not taking them very seriously. I think I would have heard about them if they were reputable. And knowing that area, I seriously doubt they are.

I just found and read this thread and I just have to ask if there's any update on that beautiful, cute Koda? Reminds me of Penny who's almost 1 y.o.
