My wife and I recently rescued a Havanese puppy, but we think it may actually be a Tibetan Terrier. How can we tell the difference?

Hekate asked:


My husband and I are looking to get a dog in the near future and both of agreed that we want a large dog. We want a breed that is playful, friendly, smart, easily trained and really, really big. We have the yard for a big dog, we have no children at the moment and I am a stay at home wife, so I have the time to train a puppy. All we need is to find a breed we like. Any information is helpful and links to websites with pictures is also appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Kate C, I did mean giant breeds. Thanks.

How can I stop one of my puppies from constantly beating up on the other?

cmclarkie2 asked:


I have two puppies from the same litter, both females and they are about four months old. The smaller one is constantly picking on her bigger sister. I understand that it is how puppies play but it starts to become a problem because the smaller one causes the other to yelp in pain and still doesn’t stop after that. She was a calm puppy before but she is now starting to growl and snap at myself and my family. Is she just trying to establish dominance? My father isn’t very understanding and says if it doesn’t stop we will have to get rid of her, but I don’t want that. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop her behavior?

How safe is it to nurse puppies from a different mother?

Allison asked:


A woman my mother knows just recently had a litter of puppies with her dog, although one survived. Our dog had puppies, too, and one has also survived out of a litter of six. The woman’s dog won’t nurse her puppy, but our dog is nursing ours. How safe would it be to take the woman’s puppy and have her nurse on our dog instead?

MerciCherie asked:


We have a 4 yr old black lab (male) who is becoming very grouchy and mean as of late. He growls alot, not mean sounding just annoyed sounding, usually this happens when anyone pets him or goes near him. He doesn’t like to be “cuddled” because whenever anyone touches him like around his stomach as if they were picking him up, he growls and once evn tried to bite my bro. He has never acted like this before. We got a puppy in Dec. who annoyts him sometimes but they have always got along fine, this behavior just started recently, so i don’t think it has to do with the puppy. Please help!!!!

Eli
