I own 2 bichon frise, 1 panther chameleon and a 200 litre aquarium with salt water fish....

but my bichons are the best ;)

Your "dogs" are more like footballs with hair...real dogs are bigger. Personally I have an 85lb lab who probably shits more that a bichon weighs...
 
Dogs are dogs, I have a 75 pound Shlab now but had bichons growing up and I like bichons a lot except for the grooming. Bichons are very athletic, loyal, intelligent, sociable. They aren't yappy either, although they are pretty good alarm dogs, my first dog would start to growl quietly as soon as someone set foot on the property, and got gradually louder and louder as they approached the house.

i guess they don't know they are 17 lbs. each they go after my brother's bulldog and they can hold their own (rough playing) since contrary to popular beliefs bulldogs are NOT aggresive by nature and the one my brother has is just a big sucker hehehehehehehe :D

Do you guys have dogs? I just got a boxer a few months ago... a lot of fun :)
You got one of the best breeds to have. My boxer is 9 yrs. old and he is the best dog i have ever owned. Very loyal , great with kids, good watchdog. The only thing bad about the breed is they are prone to cancer and gum problems.
 
Airedales...

As a young fellow coming up we had four Airedales in the house(at one point, three at one time). Great dog. Intelligent. Not too big...about 75 to 90 lbs or so. Excellent guard dog. Good with children. Very loyal companion. Don't demand alot of attention or require a lot of fuss. Not prone to any inherent health problems. Fantastic cavernous baritone voice. If I had the space now... Sincerely, Jon .
 
Schnauzers and Jack Russel's are great, intelligent little dogs and are alot of fun, if a wee bit yappy at times.

For a larger dog, the greyhound is nice. Very loyal, affectionate, great dispositions. And boy........can they run. Lol!

dog question:

I am going camping for the long weekend and is a 6 hour drive i called my vet and asked if i could give something to my dogs to calm them during thr trip since they get car sick and he suggested Gravol (i think that is how is spelled) he was going to call me back later on tonight with the quantity i should give them since every breed is different and my 2 bichons weight an average of 17 lbs each

anybody else has any tips or suggestions?

All dogs are beautiful -- it's no mistake that 'dog' is 'god' spelled backwards! We've had 11 dogs since Fred and I were married in the 80s, and every one of them had a smile that could stun ya!

Thank goodness for dogs!

Regarding gravol, get childrens gravol (ask the pharmacist). It has weight recommendations on the package. Dose the dog by weight, err on the side of less dose.

It makes the dogs dopy, they don't like it. Best to just give them a small area to lie in (or their crate), put a towel down to catch anything they puke, and off you go.

Stop for water and leak breaks.

Ive got a 90lbs German Shepherd X Husky. He is great only thing is he pulls alot on the lead.


to solve this problem you can try two things you can get a harness that goes around his chest like a Puppia or you can work on it, when he starts to pull just act like a tree just stand there and stare into space, and then call him back to you, over time he will learn he starts to pull its the end of the fun walk, another trick is to put the leash on him around the house and walk around the house making sudden turns as he is by your side, so he has to pay attention to you, work on this for a few minutes inside then try it outside, the second he starts to pull its back inside the house and try the exercise all over again. This is a sign either of trying to gain dominance or just wacky lets see how much I can get away with behaviour
