It has been a while since I have been through the site and gone through the fuzzy photo section : ) I recently uploaded all of the photos off my camera. Here are some cute photos taken on Halloween : ) This is a photo of all my babies dressed up : ) http://tinypic.com/r/b7i993/6 Here is...

Thanks for all your input. I know that ringworm can be easily passed on to humans as well. I have actually bought a large dog kennel to keep the kitten isolated during the treatment so it won't contaminate my friend's house. My friend opted to keep the kitten at his place as opposed to watching...

Hi, so I am in need of some advice! In just 2 days I will be adopting an 11 week old persian kitten. It will be my first time owning a cat. I was nervous about how I was going to introduce the kitten to my 3 dogs, two of which are shelties. Just today I have been told that the kitten has two...

I have finally uploaded some of the photos on my phone onto the computer. Some are better quality than others, but they are nice nonetheless. Here are some funny photos of Buddha who is just a little over a year now. I keep finding him in the weirdest sleeping positions! Love his face in...

I am fairly new to shelties. I have only had my boy for a year now and recently adopted a second sheltie puppy. There are many behaviors I have noticed that none of the other breeds of dog's I'm familiar with ever exhibited. Is it just my sheltie, or do they not seem to realize they have...

Well Buddha has been done with teething for a while now he turns 1 year old tomorrow :smile2: I have started noticing that he drools a lot more in the mornings when I take him out to potty and he is smelling around how very strange. I will definitely bring it up to our next vet visit. He has had...

Thanks for the responses! I feel a bit relieved then that Buddha isn't the only sheltie that drools out there. In general I don't mind the dog breeds that are known for drooling because that's just the way they are, but I was just curious if something was maybe wrong with Buddha. I suppose that...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but it had to go somewhere. Buddha my sheltie drools a lot! I have no idea if this is something common with the breed but somehow I find it somewhat unlikely. His drool sometimes hangs from his mouth until it wipes off somewhere; it's that...

I'm new to shelties, and the ones I have seen around town and fell in love with were all very small, 12-14 inches tall. Can't imagine they could weigh more than 15 to 20 pounds. Then I bought my sheltie thinking that he would turn out to be a small dog. But to my surprise, currently at 10 months...

corbinam: I saw the post on pedigree lines on this forum which got me wondering about Buddha's parentage. I checked out the website and I just can't figure out how to do the search. Do I just type his sire or dam under quick search? Because I did that and nothing came up. Also I just looked...

I seee that's unfortunate I know that there is a high probability that he may be a puppy mill dog but in the off chance, there is no way to contact the breeder somehow or find out for sure if he did come from a puppy mill? If fake parents were used I could contact whoever is listed and they...

I have the AKC registration papers and the registration numbers for his parents. I've yet to register him but because he has limited registration I am not sure what the point would be to have him registered. Is there a way that I can find contact information for the breeder or just general info...

The NILIF program sounds like an excellent idea, I've already been doing some of those things with him from the beginning, but not as strictly. I'll give it a try and see how it starts to change him. The solution I'm trying to work towards isn't one in which I don't take the dogs to the dog park...

It must be a sheltie thing then It's no wonder Buddha isn't much of a cuddler, yet : D At night, he'll try and sleep above our heads on the pillows. Or lay at our feet. But he doesn't stay for more than a minute if you try to fix him right next to you. He loves to get belly rubs and get picked...

Ok thanks for the advice seriously this is our first sheltie and I know that with our bigger 60 pound dogs, they trim their own nails by just walking and running around. We have never had to trim their nails. And even the yorkshire terrier we looked after for 2 years. He was extremely active he...
