I'd like to see this done, it sounds so simple and painless. I can't imagine a tail just falling off and it not being awful, but I certainly don't know everything. If you can have your dog's tail banded and have her out hunting, it's obviously not painful (or very much, anyway, though I've seen inju...

In Arkansas you have the pay the pawnshop for your own stolen goods? If I'm not mistaken, there's a law against knowingly buying or selling stolen merchandise. Sure, they can feign ignorance about the buying, but once you let them know and they're charging to sell it back to you, are they not sellin...

Yeah, it's a long drive to a place in the middle of nowhere. As far as I'm aware, Elcho is biggest 'town' in the area, and it's unincorporated... Closest McDonalds is 20 miles away. Today Blue chased his first wild rabbit. Unfortunately I wasn't even around for it. He was silent, but real excited. H...

I'd suggest reading the abstracts available by searching on PubMed. Unfortunately, without a species identified, there's little help I can offer. I was expecting a thread on Lymes Disease! That's much easier. The only other disease I'm really familiar with that could be passed this way would be Lept...

I don't believe organ damage is likely in case of overdose. The drug is a positive allosteric modulator binding to a novel site on the GABA-A receptor complex, and it's primary toxicity results from this. Side effects listed are ataxia, sedation, tremors, etc. The dog basically becomes drunk (this i...

Man, now reading a proper description of it, it sounds even worse. I know raccoon trapping sometimes they're feet will become so numb that they can chew them off so they can pull out, but to the point where a tail would fall off? Sounds terrible. Evidently it works without much discomfort though. Wh...

Um, if you're looking at the website he's #5. You must be picking up #1, correct? I saw him when I was there, but only very briefly. I'm surprised he's got any pups left at that price. You're driving from Iowa!?! Wow... I thought I had a long drive. Are you spending the night somewhere? If you are, ...

Okay, I've got one that won't LOSE any weight. I've tried her on everything and she stays right about 30 or 35lbs, I forget now. She should be 5lbs lighter. She always been a thick, solid dog, but she needs to get down. It doesn't matter if she's doing a lot of hunting or just lying about, she stays...

I've got one beagle that would eat all day long. If I had a never ending supply of food, she'd do her best to find an end. I don't let her because it's not good for her. These little hounds crave running, and I want to do everything in my power to make it happen for them. I didn't think anyone was s...

pawking is the result of a greenbay butkus cross to a maravics female... seems like a smart choice to make a similiar cross... that whole litter was badazz from what ive read..

That's not true. Paw King is the result of GB Butkus cross with Green Bay Blue Bay.

The ASPCA or HSUS?

The latter is a waste of time. The ASPCA does good works, at least.

Well, I took Blue out back with Daisy and shot a .22 ten, fifteen times. Daisy was more startled at first. Blue flinched and looked up, but showed no signs of being afraid. By the last shot he was almost oblivious. Then I took the two of them out to the woods where I learned to squirrel hunt. It's r...

I'm not too worried about him becoming gun shy. I hear a lot of talk about it but I've only seen one dog that was, a black lab my mom gave away when I was little. She was nervous around it at first, but after going back to a start pistol for a few days, then a .22 and slowly working back up. It wasn...

Howdy I recently purchased a pup, he's just a few days over 8 weeks. His whining is starting to cut back some, though house training is going poorly (I didn't expect it to go well at this age with a male, though). Outside though, he's been right willing to plow through the heavy marsh grass that mar...

Hmm.. Maybe. Still, what that paper describes (I can get the full copy if anyone wants it, it might be interesting) is far and away different from what the OP discusses. This isn't the owner showing affection to another dog, but simply being around one. I should say that I don't believe dogs are cap...
