I see you talking about a number of animals that "didn't pass their behavioral evaluation." I'm curious on what they look for. Do they just have to display no people aggression whatsoever or something?

It sounds like taking him to the park is putting him in these situations. Since you can't guarantee that he won't come within biting distance of an off-leasher at the park, wouldn't it be better not to go there? Just remove the temptation entirely…

Neat article. Bookmarking that one.

Awesome! :D

The only issue I can see with feeding raw foods is sourcing. CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations), or "feedlots" are seeing a huge increase in the presence of E. Coli, Enterococcus, and especially MRSA... IN THE MEAT, to the poi…

If they have 15 that they're retiring all at once... how big must that operation be?! Unless they're shutting down Shiba breeding altogether, and just want to unload their dogs. Either way, it sounds pretty industrial to me.

Doors must've been left open. The way I read it, the dog was just carrying the kid around, not mauling it or anything, and the father started chasing the dog, which responded naturally by running away. That probably did more harm to the infant tha…

Ouch. Poor pup. That looks really painful. Poor guy probably didn't warrant squishing, though, as he would've died soon anyway. Those lovely barbed stingers basically pull out a chunk of bee when they come off. Bee stings suck. Bees are awes…

I guess we could all just start carrying a few business cards with the web address for the wiki page on Shibas, Shikoku, etc... Then, not only is it spelled out on paper, they can actually get good info without your having to talk them to death, as…

Lame is right. What crap... Edit: What's dumb is that the report specifically addresses "breed-specific ordinances" and indicates their impracticality. Doubly stupid, then, that it's being used as an excuse for MORE breed discriminatio…

Thanks for the voice of calm, and the more info, Brad. I know when I was first getting insurance through American Family, they listed a number of breeds for me, verbally, right there in the office that I was not allowed to own under the policy. I …

You're right. In a just world, neither our pups nor we, ourselves would have to put up with inappriopriate behavior from others... or would at least be free to correct them. But alas, the world we live in is anything but. The issue here is that i…

He sounds like one of those Nigerian "give me your banking info" scammers.

RCA... People are looking at me funny because I'm laughing so much... I might have to check if we have any courses here at the university.

What does Merial sell, anyway. Besides Cesar Millan DVDs.

I think you may have a point, Yuki, and I appreciate the correction. You're probably right in that there is an independent-thinking quality that I value, perhaps to the point where I fail to recognize - or value - other qualities to the degree I sh…

I dunno, from what I'm reading, it seems like corn tends to be pretty allergenic.
