This FAQ by Cheryl Minnier tells us what we should know so we can recognize the problem when it occurs and know what to do about it. "Skin and Allergy Problems in Dogs" http://www.doggies.com/cgi-bin/links/pl.cgi?1202 Fetch Link 33333333333333333333333333333333333333 The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION I know some of you will take issue with me, but a vegitarian diet for a dog just doesn't make any sense to me. Dogs are basically carnivores - meat eaters. "The beef on vegitarian pets" by Marilyn Linton of the Toronto Sun, via canoe.com, takes a responsible and informative look at the subject. http://www.doggies.com/cgi-bin/links/pl.cgi?1203 Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor Frank says: "AllPosters.com has a fabulous collection of art posters, all available at very affordable prices. I've featured 25 dog posters I like, but there are many more about dogs and just about any other subject you can think of. It's like visiting a museum or gallary without leaving your keyboard!" http://www.doggies.com/cgi-bin/links/pl.cgi?allposters Fetch Link 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444 The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES Ever wonder how smart your dog is? The Petrix.com web site gives us the results of a dog trainer's survey, ranking different breeds for obedience/working intelligence. They say a Siberian Husky has average intelligence, but Katie's much smarter than that. She fully and immediately understands everything, but sometimes takes her jolly good time deciding whether to comply! I think this researcher mistook stubbornness for stupidity. http://www.doggies.com/cgi-bin/links/pl.cgi?1204 Fetch Link 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555 The Straight Poop guide to DOGS in the NEWS Dogs trained to sniff out the odours given off by cancer cells could soon be bringing new meaning to their reputation as "man's best friend".

If we study the signals dogs use with each other and use them ourselves, we increase our ability to communicate with our dogs. Most noteworthy are the calming signals, which are used to maintain a healthy social hierarchy and resolve conflict within the pack. If we can carry these skills over to our own interactions with dogs, we can greatly improve our relationships with dogs. A practical, down-to-earth, logical understanding and use of the body language of dogs." >From Dogwise.com, home of the largest and best selection of dog books and videos on the internet.
