I plan to get a a German Shorthaired Pointer, but I heard that since they have a double coat, they can have a strong "doggy odor". Is that true? Do they smell when brushed and washed regularly (of course if they don't roll in something stinky)?

I do not understand why I would be alergic to a miniature schnauzer puppy when I had one as a child and previously as an adult. I have bathed the dog several times, but after being around it for just a few minutes, my throat gets sore, and feels clogged up, and it is difficult to swallow. Does anyone know why I would be allergic to a puppy or this breed when I previously had no problem?

I have a 7 month old Great Dane mix pup, who demolishes every toy I get...she literally chews thru the hardest plastic toys, and can obliterate a rawhide in a matter of hours. Does anyone have any ideas what I can get for her to chew on and play with, that might last??
Thanks for all the advice....real bones scare me a little, so I want to avoid them. Nylabones (big ones) get chewed up pretty easily, when she concentrates on one. The person that said crate training, mischevious adolesence and separation anxiety? OMG...you know my dog!! (and she is crate trained.....hopefully tho, one day I'll be able to not have her crated??)

My 5 year old Golden Retriever has a pink nose. When we got him his nose was fully black, not a speck of pink. A couple of years later, his nose started to become PINK! And it hasn't changed since. And I don't know why!

My American Bulldog pup is growing up fast and I have been researching when the best time to neuter him would be. My vet recommends 4 months but that seems so young. I have read the arguments between early neutering and late neutering and I am confused and torn about what to do. I was thinking about getting him neutered around 6-8 months instead...I just want to see some other opinions on when the best time to neuter a dog is.

I ask myself why does it take this long. Does anyone know? Do they put the dogs in crates and just let them sit there while they do other dogs? My boston terrier is 17.6 lbs and has short fur.

When i move to Montana, my parents said that they will get me a Doberman Pinscher. (We are also adopting a shelter dog)
I have done alot of research on this breed, they are my favorite! I love them sooo much!
Well, i had a question for other Doberman owners.
How smart is your Dobie??
And everyone who doesnt have a Dobe, how smart is your dog??
So yeah, lol
How smart are all of your dogs???
Thank you everyone!
oh sorry.
we will have other dogs, cats, (so im getting a pup to socialize) and farm animals, like a horse. we will have tons of toys, i am going to train for a few hours everyday, a few walks everyday, and the way our schedual works, he and the other dogs will only be alone for about 2-4 hours a day.
so he wont get bored.
and i have trained lots of aggressive, shy, and high strung dogs. =D
i know what im doing. =]

Im looking into getting an english bulldog. Ive found them all the way from 400 to 4000, and they all have papers. Are you paying more for a champion in their bloodline, or do you think the cheaper ones have a family with a record of health problems? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank You!
