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.

English bulldog male he had Demadex mange but is ok now.I was thinking on using him to breed my female will he give it to the puppies?

I have a 7 year old pit bull who has demadex mange. The dog will always heave this trait, however if you keep it under control the dog will be fine. I wouldn't recomend breeding him, he has a 50% chance on spreading this to his pups. Because when first born pups immune system isn't strong enough to fight off the mange mite. I bread my male and was very lucky that none of the pups got it. If you do decide to breed make sure mother , father, and kennel stay very clean. Keep it free of bowel and urine, make sure all pups get their first set of shots and wormer before u adopt them out to reasure that the pups immune system is strong enough to leave mother. Pups r alot of fun but also alot of work. Ive had two litters. Its deffinatly a full time job.

How much did a 1948 Jaguar XK 120 cost?

The XK120 wasn't mass produced until 1949 and came out as a 1950 model. The first 200 came off the line with aluminum bodies and had an emblem attached to the passenger dash stating the vehicle was an exact replica of the car that set a sustained speed record of 134 mph at LeMans in 1948.

Correction: The 1948 Jaguar XK 120 was actually a modified prototype 1948 XK 100 (100 inch wheelbase, four cylinder) Sports Car in which the XK 120, overhead cam, six cylinder engine intended for the 120 inch wheelbase Mark V Sedan was fitted for the 124.6 MPH two way record run in Belgium, in 1949. There is no record of it being sold.

The great public interest in the car required Jaguar to cancel using the XK 120 six in the sedan, which went into production with the Mark IV pushrod six in April 1949. The few XK 100s already built were promptly modified into 102 inch wheelbase XK 120 Super Sports cars; largely for racing purposes from 1949 on.

There were 240 of these largely handmade light alloy (aluminum) bodied XK 120 models made between July 1949 and January 1950. Mass produced XK 120 models with largely steel bodies were made from February 1950 to September 1954.

Will eating rubber balls hurt your dog?

"most deffinately. my dog ate part of a tennis ball, a Christmas ornimant, and

a Nerf ball. we had to take her to the veteranarin's right away for x-rays."

I don't know who gave this answer, but it isn't really an answer at all. It just says that they have no clue and that because they have no clue they rushed their dog to the vet when he/she ate rubber. My dog eats the heck out of her rubber toys and as long as she breaks it up small and it can be swallowed and passed through her easily, I havent seen a problem. I would like to know if there is some kind of other problems I should be looking for associated with her eating rubber.

What are the symptoms for a dachshund with a slipped or herniated disc and what could have caused it?

It's a chronic breed problem, caused by the abnormal length of its spine. It might need surgery.

While the above is true I have had this happen twice with the breed. These dogs are very sweet and easy going and love to interact. The first sign I found was that they withdraw under a bed and whine. When you try to pull them out they usually yelp or cry. However, that could be a lot of different injuries. So then watch for limping, favoring one side, holding one leg up, not wanting to walk or pain upon touching their back. Do not let more than an hour or so go by before taking them to the vet. The longer you wait, the worse the problem gets and the harder to have surgery repair it. Time is of the essence for them to regain walking again!

What work did male convicts do?

Depends on when you are talking about. I'm from England, where they can be notoriously cruel bastards, which is why I escaped, but up until as late as the 1960s men who were "hard" cases and done serious crimes (serious crimes usually involve poor people stealing from the wealthy, did you notice that?) like bank robbery or train robbery or most everything short of murder for which they were (rightly so in my opinion) hanged in pretty short order without the 10 years on death row crap we get here in the US.

Anyway, these "hard" cases were sentenced to many years at "hard labour" which essentially meant that they were put into a particularly miserable prison with a huge rock pile and they spent most of every waking hour smashing rocks with a big hammer. When they were all smashed, they bought in another truckload of rocks. I suppose the smashed rocks became gravel for the driveways of the wealthy so they could hear the tires on their Jaguar crunch nicely as they reflected on how cleverly they had managed to steal another million pounds or dollars or francs or rubles or yen with some creative "standard accounting practices."

I understand work in prison today is at least more productive. Yes, they punch out license plates, but there are many lifers who would probably smash your face clean through the back of your head for less than nothing who make beautiful wooden toys or ships that are sold and the money returned to buy more supplies in an economy that doesn't allocate much money for mahogany for prison workshops. Their is a store in Maine that sells such items, and quite beautiful and expensive some of them are, and I believe a good slice of that actually goes to local charities.

Is blood in pee pee of yorkie terriers puppy okay?

Any blood in the urine of a dog indicates a health problem. You need to consult your veterinarian.

What could cause your dog to wake up with a limp even though he was okay last night before bedtime?

There are two major differentials for sudden onset limping - injury or disease. I would suspect an injury in a younger animal, such as twisting a joint watching the raccoons in the yard overnight. In an older animal, I would suspect the onset of arthritis; the joints tend to be stiffer and more painful in the morning but usually become looser and more flexible with motion.

It is important to know that "sudden onset limping" as reported by the owner is usually not a true sudden onset limping. Often the dog has been showing minor signs of limping for some time, but because the owner sees the dog every day he doesn't recognize the very subtle day-to-day changes.

If this is an older dog, or this doesn't get better in a couple of days in a younger dog, you should take your dog to your vet for an examination.

If your dog done something naghty and he was a puppy what should you do?

You should scold him and do something like a gentle but firm pat on its back that he would remember the fact that he did something wrong. Remember to keep your voice tone firm and express the disappointment/anger in your voice. Dogs are quick learners and they do not like disappointing their owners and hence they would learn that, this action of theirs doesnt make you happy. Do not beat up the dog. It will not help.

Why do dogs cry when it is in its cage?

Isn't it obvious? The dog hates the cage.

Animals are not born to be caged, they are born to live freely. The only reason a dog should ever be caged is A) if it's dangerous or B) it's staying in a temporary kennel while the owners are away.

Caging dogs in the 21st century is borderline animal abuse. Get rid of the cage or give the dog to a much more loving home.

I have a 4 year old Maltese and i was thinking about asking my parents for a german short haired pointer Will they get along even if the GSP is a puppy Are GSP good guard dogs?

With the right training and socialization at the early stages of his/her life, any pup will grow up to be the perfect dog. You would need to train your GSP to become a guard dog.

GSPs are powerful with very strong legs which makes a an amazing chaser/runner. They are intelligent, cooperative, affectionate and easily trained. They would make perfect working dogsand a perfect watchdog !

And whether your GSP pup and your maltese will get along is a hard question to answer (it really would depend on the way both dogs behave and what there personalitys are ! ) but they love interaction with humans ! The breed generaly get along with other dogs but sometime the females appear to have a much dominant personality when interacting with other dogs.

If you have any other pets at home then the GSPs natural hunting instince isnt going to make the pet cats life easy ! BUT with the right training the family dog will be able to know what is prey and what isnt and they can work well with other pets in the house :))

You can feed your dog cooked chickpeas if you wish. Some dogs like them, others do not.
