Dog Behavior

Dogs are unable to talk just like we do, but we can still understand their feelings by observing their behavior and body language. It is compulsory that an owner is aware of his dog's body language, as it will not only strengthen their bond, but will also prevent tragic results where the owner is forced to abandon his dog due to behavior problems. In this category, there are questions relating to the different body languages of dogs, their behavior, etc.

What is a pit bull bread from which dogs origonally?

Pit bulls were created in the early 1800's after bear/bull baiting was made illegal in Europe. Since spectators could no longer watch Bulldogs fight bears and bulls, they crossed Bulldogs with Terriers to create what we now know as the "pit bull." These dogs were created to fight other dogs for sport.

What dogs are cool to buy?

You don't need to buy a dog (or cat). Local animal shelters will let you adopt a pet for free, or for a small fee that just helps them cover their costs (food and medicine for the animals). I got my two cats at Animal Care & Control, and they wanted $30 for one cat or dog, and $45 for two. There's also the Humane Society, the ASPCA or RSPCA, and Bide-A-Wee.

Contrary to popular belief, shelter animals are not dirty, disease-ridden strays. The majority of them had a home, but for whatever reason, were abandoned or given up by their owners. Some are strays, but the shelter screens all the animals for diseases. They're not going to send you home with a sick animal.

Actually, mixed-breed dogs and cats (mutts) are usually much healthier, and live much longer lives, than purebred animals. The key to strong, healthy offspring is a wide gene pool. Purebred animals are only allowed to mate with other purebreds of the same breed, which means the gene pool is very small. When a gene pool is too small, the animals become weak and sickly, with all sorts of expensive health problems.

How can you tell if your dog aggressive?

compare how he/she normally behaves to how she/he is behaving now. aggressive barking when unexpected or vicious biting causing blood to come out of the veins or arteries would be aggression. if he/she is showing the whites of his/her eyes when you play with her she is very bored and needs more attention. though that can be a sign of happiness. if you are afraid of your dog consult your vet. i am very passionate to dogs and i would recommend that you don't try to get your dog put down because it is extremely cruel. also, if your vet says you have to have it put down, say "NO, I'LL SEND IT TO A RESCUE HOME" and then do. if you love your dog, which i do, keep it in a safe, detained area until you are happy that the dog has calmed down. never assume a dog is going aggressive because it bites you once, that could just be a love bite or a sign of affection. i hope i helped!

Why do dogs drink urine?

Possible Illness or reasons - Kidney disease, adrenal gland disease, diabetes

I disagree. Ferrets for Dummies, as well as a number of other sources say it's a normal, if somewhat disgusting, habit. If the ferret had diabetes, I might think it's possible due to spilling of sugar into the urine, but diabetes is very rare in ferrets. Where did the person who posted above get this information? Information was derived from the Ferret Health List (FHL) Yahoo groups

How often should a dog have the opportunity to urinate?

every 2 to 3 hours More detail: If the dog is still a puppy, then it needs to be taken out after every time it eats, drinks, sleeps and plays. These are things that stimulate a dog's urge to go, especially eating and drinking. If the dog is an adult dog, its size will determine the frequency. While a larger dog can go 6 - 8 hours, or overnight, a smaller dog will need to go more often, since they have a smaller bladder capacity. But even most smaller breeds can go through out the night with out having to be taken out. If, however, the dog is elderly or sick, then it will have to be taken out more often than it did when it was younger. By this time though, you should be able to know the signs when your dog needs to go out, and won't have to guess. But if ever in doubt, take him out instead of risking him having an accident inside, or being very uncomfortable in trying to hold it.
