All we knew was that her previous owner(s) had moved and did not want to take her with them. After we took her to the vet, we placed her on a food allergy diet which completely healed her red eyes. As the owner it is your responsibility to condition your puppy for future training. Like a child your dog will need positive reinforcement and immediate correction. Attempts were made to contact his owners which did not produce and results. So he is now in foster care and awaiting a new home.

I would go further and say that the prospective pet owner should apply to own the pet, providing details of their suitability as an owner/carer, and their need for the animal. Every were we hunt, we look out for the property owners and treat them like family if they aren’t. We don’t use tracking collars on any of our hunting dogs and we treat them like children. Some 15 from one owner arrived in the last two weeks.

In some cases, older dogs are rejected by their owners, or left behind when an elderly owner must give up their beloved pet and no family members want the dog. Some of these dogs are in poor physical condition as well, and adopting them can be challenging and expensive. The potential owner agrees to pay the adoption fee and understands that this is to help defer rescue costs for veterinary care, transportation, and general supply costs incurred daily by the dog in order for their care. Puppies are on the higher end and older dogs or those with special needs may be on the lower end. However, I do not recommend getting a new dog weather a puppy or an adult as a holiday gift unless you have done your research and you are truly prepared to be a new dog owner. We searched for three months before we adopted our two dogs and it just happened to be before christmas.

If the owner was a drunk then it’s likely he might not have that kind of money, resulting in dog being put to sleep. However, as with every animal, owners must be aware of the commitment they are taking on can be up to 10 years. We have been fostering her for a few months now, after having been abandoned by her previous owners. She was very timid and frightened when we first took her in – we had to make a bed in our greenhouse initially as she wouldn’t come into the house even in the worst of weather.

All responsible dog owners clean up after their pets! As for Listerine, I can only say that we have one life, this is it, it’s not a rehearsal, so make the most of it and try giving instead of taking. The removal of fly-tipping from private land is the owner’s responsibility however; we will provide advice on its removal. Come on dog owners! Are a few hours filled with traffic, confusing crowds, explosioins and high levels of noise really worth the anxiety and possible loss of your pet?

Avoid allowing the Akita to swim in cold weather as their coat is very hard to completely dry when temperatures are cooler.

The Alaskan Husky is the best racing sled dog in the world today. The Alaskan Husky is derived from a mix of northern types, most notably the Siberian husky. It is not considered to be a wolfdog, although distant wolf ancestry is quite visible in several features of many Alaskan Huskies.

The Alaskan Husky is generally healthy; some are prone to PRA (an eye disorder) or hypothyroidism. The Alaskan Husky has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.

A loving and caring dog, the Yellow Labrador is just like the breed; full of life and with a hunger for playfulness. If you watched Marley in the movie, you know you’re in for a lot of zaniness. Labs grow to be big dogs and need space. These are not the type of dogs for apartments or small condos. These guys need their exercise and room to call their own. They also have a great appetite, so plan on spending for dog food. I can’t stress anything more than the fact that you need to match your dog to your lifestyle and your lifestyle to your dog. What this means is that Yellow Labradors need a good amount of activity. They need to be exercised daily. If you’re the type that works all day and then comes home and spends hours on the computer, this isn’t the dog for you. Yellow Labradors won’t thrive in a condition where they are sedentary. Like humans, they’ll get overweight and lose important muscle tone if left to lay around all day.

Remember that these dogs were carefully bred for gun dog work on estates. Yellow Labs are bred to instinctively point. You probably won’t take your Labrador out hunting, but if you do, they know exactly what to do. Yellow Labradors are often taller and skinnier with a thin, lanky head, bred to look and move more like a setter. The average price for a properly bred Labrador puppy is about 800-1200 dollars, more for a show- or field trial- quality puppy. If you are asked to pay substantially more or less for a puppy without good reason given, be wary. You really need to check out what you’re looking for and what you’re getting. The worse case is you buy something you can’t get out of and then find out that you’re not happy with your Labrador. It does happen, and that’s how some of these beautiful dogs wind up in shelters.

Taking your dog along to the beach, or park is one of the most fun things you can do. Like the video above, where the Labs are all jumping in the pond, Yellow Labradors love to play and need the exercise. I guess I’ve made the point enough -- don’t get one of these pups if you can’t get outdoors and play with them -- a lot. And one other thing, besides exercise, and feeding -- Frequent brushing or combing can reduce the need for frequent dusting and vacuuming to pick up shed hair. Your yellow Lab’s coat should be brushed at least weekly. Ask your veterinarian or pet store personnel what type of brush is best. Whether they are shedding or not, proper brushing 2-3 times a week is required for them to remove the dead hair & skin if any. Some veterinery lotions & conditioners are also available in the market by which they can be softly washed 2-3 times a week.

So there you have it. The basics on Yellow Lab -- Marley type dog ownership. Yes, they start out as cute, furry, little pups and then grow quickly into a handful. But they’re full of love and I tell you, the Yellow Labrador is one of the most loyal pets in the world. Where else can you find someone who will greet you each time you enter the house, won’t bug you about problems, doesn’t want to marry you or date you, doesn’t ask for money, just wants to be with you and shower you with attention? That’s a Lab, and well, they’re like most other dogs. Full of love -- that’s why we feature them here on Three Best Dogs. Marley & Me is a good demonstration of the breed, but remember it’s just a movie. Do you have any questions? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the Yellow Labrador. Comment below.

The American foxhound is a breed of dog that is actually the cousin of the English Foxhound. This is, of course, a scent hound, and it was used to hunt foxes by scent. This is a very sweet dog, and lot of people love them. However, the American foxhound is a dog that is very stubborn once it picks up a trail of some kind. Once this happens, you can forget about the American foxhound listing to any of the commands you give it.

This is a dog that would rather deal with the aftermath of not listening to you than to give up a scent. This is a trait that you can find even in the American Foxhound puppies for sale. This is a dog that is so loving at home, however, a lot of people have stopped using these dogs for hunting. Of course, this brings up another problem that people have with these dogs.

As we said before, the American foxhound loves to hunt. However, people like to make them home dogs. Well, the American foxhound is one of the smartest foxhounds alive. They can very easily learn to open gates and to scale fences to go hunting. This can become a problem. Once they pick up a scent you can not stop it until it gets its prey. To keep the American foxhound happy, you need to let it outside a lot. Sometimes it helps to have a dog radio fence around the fence that you put up for them. That way they do not try and jump the fence or open the gate. If you can put a dog door in one of your back doors so this dog can get in and out when it wants to, you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

If not, you will find yourself letting this dog in and out over and over again. If you choose not to let it out, then you may find that they use the bathroom inside. Then you only have yourself to blame. After all, they told you that they had to go outside. It’s good to let this dog out anyway. That is because they get so bored so fast. They can do things like tear up objects and are so tall that they can take things right off your counter tops. They do this not to be mean, but because they are bored.

Originally trained to hunt with the pack, they pull on well and enjoy other dogs company. They are outgoing, gentle and very tolerant breed and mix well with children, humans, horses plus other pets. You may not see many American Foxhounds in dog shows across the country but you will see a few. The dogs you see at the shows are normally larger than the regular American Foxhound you will see out chasing game.

There are a variety of strains of the American Foxhound around today, which include the Goodman, July, Trigg, Penn-Marydel, and the Walker.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a courageous, powerful, and sturdy animal, and can be very calm and dignified yet will not hesitate to respond if challenged. Possessive and very independent, these are not the most obedient of dogs and are very strong minded and willful, which means that they are difficult to train and best suited to those with more experience with dog ownership. This is a dog that likes to make up his own mind everything, and rather than being an interactive, playful dog he likes to play more of a supervisory and protective role. Anyone that plans to have an Anatolian Shepherd Dog needs to be assertive and experienced in training, as otherwise you will end up with a handful – a dog that will quickly take over as boss and is highly dominant and willful.

This breed will get along well with children that are older and more considerate, and those from his own family, but when it comes to other children proper introduction will be required.

This is a breed that was bred to work and knows that he has a job to do, and unless properly socialized and well managed will quickly take over the role of leader.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a remarkable shepherd’s guard dog of ancient lineage. It is a large, formidable working dog with a self-sufficient temperament. Such dogs are found throughout the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey.

A large numbers of Anatolian Shepherds are still used to guard the flocks in Turkey today. A club was set up in the US in 1970 to promote the interests of the breed. This coincided with an upsurgence in the coyote population in the American West and a movement to use guardian dogs for predator control instead of poison and other methods that had not been effective. The dogs have proven to be cost effective and a more humane way to control predators than indiscriminate poisoning.

Because they’re so tiny and have such splendid coats, many people think Yorkshire Terriers are delicate dogs. Actually, it’s better not to baby these dogs too much. Yorkshire Terriers are a very social type of dogs. They possess the ability to mix up with other household animals like cats and dogs quite comfortably, especially when they are brought up with them. Yorkshire Terriers are quick to determine where they fit in a household’s “pack”. Their behavior towards outsiders will vary -- they often will be inclined to bark at strangers, but some Yorkies are outgoing and friendly towards new people while others are withdrawn and aloof. Some lines of Yorkshire Terriers are prone to bronchitis and early tooth decay. They are sometimes unable to tolerate anesthetic treatment, and occasionally, their digestive systems are very delicate. Puppy Yorkshire Terriers are born black and tan and gradually attain their natural color. Show dogs are groomed with the hair grown out long (sometimes trimmed to floor-length) and parted down the middle of the back.

The original Yorkshire Terrier, known as the “Broken-Haired Scotch Terrier” was a 12-to-14 pound dog with wire hair whose intended purpose was the catching of rats and other vermin that lived in small spaces. They are recommended for older, considerate children, simply because they are so small, most people allow them to get away with behaviors no dog should display . This changes the dogs temperament, as the dog starts to take over the house. Yorkshire Terriers enjoy barking and investigating sounds, making them excellent watchdogs.  I know this probably gets on some peoples’ nerves -- but it’s something you live to learn with.  A Yorkie is simply doing his thing and it’s a natural reaction to his environment.

Dogs of this breed should be compact with square proportions and a perfectly straight top line. They should stand on solid, straight legs, and the head should be carried high. Additionally, since Yorkies carry less dander on their coat, they generally do not have the unpleasant “wet dog” odor when wet, and they may not affect as many people who suffer from dog-related allergies.
