I feed with stainless bowls and one of my girls is afraid of the bowls when I set them down or pick them up. It's something to do with the noise they make she doesn't like and she'll back off or move away quickly but she'll eat out of them just fine. Maybe try a plastic bowl that makes no...

I've always expressed my own dogs anal glands but then I learned how to do it working in a grooming shop as an assistant groomer during summers as a teenager. I don't go inside the anus though, I do them completely from the outside. Most breed of dogs I did with them standing up but with...

My male Bulldog Nitro started hiking his leg at 6 mos. and never squats to pee. He's not neutered. I had another male years ago, my first Bulldog and he was not neutered and he always squatted as did my second Bulldog who was neutered. So I don't know if it has anything to do with being...

I got mine at Wal Mart for around $40. It's the Dremel 7.2 V with a rechargeable battery and charger. Charge holds for a long time too. Mine had some attachments but no bag so I went over to the makeup dept. and picked up a little black makeup type bag for it for $5. and it works great. I...

I don't feed TOW but my male got a yeast infection in the fold under his nose rope. First time I've ever had this with my dogs. I think it's the heat and them sweating. I don't know. I've not changed dog foods or anything so that's not the case with my male. I'm just keeping it clean and...

I have two pups that are going on 12 wks. and I just increased their food up from 1 cup for each pup per feeding to 1 & 1/2 cups each per feeding. They gobbled it down! I feed three times a day. I judge their intake needs on how they eat. If they gobble it up right away and continue to lick...

Wow! I LOVE that crate idea in the living room when someone comes over! As soon as he starts acting like a nut (which is immediately) I'll just put him in the crate until he calms down right there in the living room where people are! I can have some friends come by while I practice with him...

First of all try to catch some of 'The Dog Whisperer' shows on National Geographic Channel! Wonderful way of training dogs that he teaches! For now, every time your dog tries to nip you, immediately grab him by the side of the neck and take him down and roll him over onto his back. Do this...

I tried everything you said when he was younger as I have also done with all my dogs when they're young. When my daughters would come by I would have them totally ignore him not even looking at him for awhile and then they could aknowledge him and pet him quietly...no high pitched baby talk...

I have a really big problem with my male Bulldog stud. Since he was young he gets overly excited when anyone comes to the house. I've taken him out to handler classes and shown him and he's always very well mannered, calm and well behaved. Even my Vet said he's got such a nice calm...

My dogs have had that before and then I switched their food and it went away. It's allergies to the food. He probably feels like crap too when his allergies are acting up so he's easily irritated and crabby.

The bulldog standard says this about tails: Tail -- The tail may be either straight or "screwed" (but never curved or curly), and in any case must be short, hung low, with decided downward carriage, thick root and fine tip. If straight, the tail should be cylindrical and of uniform taper. If...

For northern California or southern Oregon area's I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Starnes at the Roxy Ann Veterinary Hospital in Central Point, Oregon. Ph. 1-541-664-1521 He see's a ton of Bulldogs and is very familiar with the breed as well as their correct conformation. He's also a...

Hi Chip, Long time experienced show breeders are now leaning toward getting Bulldog puppies off the higher protein puppy food by at least 3 mos. of age, reason being that Bulldog puppies tend to grow and develop too fast as it is. The higher protein puppy food encourages growth so switching...

Take the pup to the vet, he'll take a scraping and look for mites under the microscope to confirm that it is indeed mites. He'll give you a topical cream to put on to kill them. Sometimes that won't work and the vet will give you some meds for him to kill them. All dogs have these mites...
