Borador Breeder

sdchelette@designermixes.org (sdchelette) — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 15:34:57 GMT

I'm looking for a borador breeder or someone that has a male. I'm wanting to have my female bred she is currently a year old. So if I can get a contact would be great for the future. I'm not wanting to make any money out of the deal, she is just a wonderful dog and friends and family want one. Im located in northwest Louisiana.

Chiweenie With Social Issues. Please Help!

ChiweenieMom_@designermixes.org (ChiweenieMom_) — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:09:25 GMT

I'm having a few problems with my chiweenie puppy. Even though she came from a home with many other dogs, she doesn't seem to tolerate our adult male pit bull too much. Astro is playful&I understand that he is a lot to handle for such a small puppy but she has been getting overly aggressive. She will latch on to his face&bite him for no reason. She has actually gone for his eyes a few times. I've had to pull her off of his eye lids. She is also very shy around people other than myself&will back away from them and hide or run away. Zoey is very loving with me but her social skills lack majorly. Those are the only problems I've had with her since I picked her up on October, 26th but they could turn into something serious and I really don't want that. Please help if you can!

I have a 11 month old Chiweenie and a 3 month old chiuahua mix. I live in apartments and they complain about poop outside and the grass dying so I tried to train my pups to go on the patio (never use it) and then clean it with hot water and soap. My dog sophie loves going outside but is afraid of the patio and the little pup Luna is hard to keep up with and catch her in the act to correct her (she is very sneeky) I have been trying to use puppy pads and even got some spray that is supose to make them want to go in the place you spray it but they dont seem to get the concept... any suggestions on what I can do.?

I'm new to this site - and new to whelping! I may be on here next weekend panicking - seeking advice! I've read so much, watched TOO many YouTube videos of live births and I think I'm prepared. There are SO FEW images on the Internet of Mastidoodles - I CANNOT WAIT to see what these little babies look like. I'm just wondering if I should crop the tails to give more of a poodle look.? I hope they have lots of curls. I anticipate that these will be WONDERFUL pets and hopefully impact families in a large way.

Hello everybody!

binboy@designermixes.org (binboy) — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 03:04:15 GMT

Hello everybody. I'm a new member in this great community.

I got a Jack-Chi named Gigi. She is five months already! I posted her photos on the Jack-Chi album, and I am so happy she is part now of a special group.

I think this site is so special. Usually, mixed-breed dogs are banned or discrimated. Some people wear "dog brands" and they buy an "expensive" dog just to prove they're wealthy enough to spend tons of money. They ban "cheap dogs" and show an intolerant attitude towards mixed-breed dogs. Even worst, some of them abandon their dogs just because they are "so passé"!! That's so cruel. There are no words to describe such animal cruelty.

Dogs are dogs, no matter what, and they all need love. So, cheers for this site! Let's show people mixed-breed dogs are super special!

Greetings,

Cris

Looking for Sharpull (1/2 Shar-Pei 1/2 Pitbull) photos

Hello! I am very interested in the Sharpull breed. I am working on a website trying to educate people as to what awesome dogs these are.

Question about shedding of a newfypoo

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 11:15:25 GMT

Hello everyone,

So over the past months I have made a lot of research on newfypoos but am still clueless about one important thing that I hope someone here can help me with.

I know that if the poodle is the male and the newfy is a female that the newfypoo will not shed. Now what about if the newfy is the male and the female is a poodle meaning its 60% newfy and 40% poodle will the newfypoo still not shed?

I do not think the genetics works quite that way. I think it depends on what genes your dog inherits not who the male and female are.

scooby puking after swimming

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 12:03:21 GMT

Scooby went to the quarry today. We have gone there before, the water is very clear and smells okay. He loves to swim and has a great time. He vomited his breakfast up and then bile, i was wondering if he is swallowing water when he swims or if i should not feed him breakfast when we go was it too much exercise after eating? I think previous times he ate after swimming when we were there.

Interesting. I was talking to my daughter about her labs and swimming as they are in the water all the time. She said one summer one of her labs actually sprained its tail and it took 2 weeks before the dog could lift its tail. Who would have thought a dog could sprain its tail.

Our new favorite hotel- La Quinta

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:35:22 GMT

My husband and I moved from Kentucky to Texas several months after adopting our two girls. We needed to find pet friendly hotels, because we just can't leave our girls in the car in their cage, it was too hot and that can be really dangerous.

With a lot of research, we found many places that accepted pets, but charged insane pet deposits. Then we came upon a gem- La Quinta hotels.

Almost all of these hotels allow pets and do not even charge a pet deposit. Just make sure you bring a travel crate with you- that is very important. They were very accommodating for us and our two dogs.

Not only are these hotels a great place for pets- the staff is also fantastic and so friendly and polite, the rooms are immaculate and luxurious and the beds are super comfy. Also many of the hotels have very nice indoor pools. We've stayed there many times. Our girls had not yet started flea and tick prevention so I was a bit worried- but they didn't get any fleas! These hotels are spotless and they really seem to take care of things.

I just love LaQuintas. I always know that wherever we go there is one close by that will welcome us and our girls with open arms.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. When I am traveling in the US with my dog I am now going to look for this hotel chain. It is great to have this resource and such a great review of the hotel too!

Rewarding a new skill

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:41:06 GMT

It is important to remember to reward your dog after any attempt to do a new trick or skill and keep building on the skill or trick, with the reward at the end of the attempt. To use the trick to get the dog to do the trick is luring them and they really are not learning the skill or the command they are just following the treat. This would result in the dog needing a treat everytime to do the skill or trick instead of learning how to do it on command. If you ever decide to show your dog in agility sanctioned events toys and treats are not allow in the ring.

Click training is a beginning training support. In agility when you compete you cannot use clickers, toys or food in the ring. Your dog cannot wear a collar nor can you wear any type of timing device. It is the dog and the handler in the ring following a pattern of obstacles as set out by the judge. It is all about skill, speed and having fun.

New Morkie Mommy (added to the farm... lol)

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:46:09 GMT

Hello,

My name is Stacie. I just got my first designer mix puppy today. She is a Morkie named Ruby. We also have a Chihuahua, a Golden/Duck Tolling Retriever Mix named Comet (yes, after Full House), a black cat named Luna, and a corn snake named Nagini (Thumbs up for the Harry Potter snake... lol)

We are obviously animal lovers and take pride in our ownership.

I was given Ruby today by a friend who felt she couldn't give her the love and attention she needs. She is a little timid but doing well in her new home. Our Chihuahua isn't too happy with me right now, but will adapt.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello!

I am a very happy, fun loving, and caring person and would like to get to know other owners of pretty much any breed or type of animal.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome Stacie and Ruby. Check me out my name is Khia!

Looking for tips and tricks with my new Morkie!

emgerber@designermixes.org (emgerber) — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:44:41 GMT

I just picked up my 7 month old Morkie puppy who was given to me by a friend today. She was struggling with house training and didn't feel she had enough time to give her the proper attention. Ruby seems to be very curious, loving, and a bit shy. She seems to be adapting well to our home. I don't think they had steps in their home because she is always waiting for her new mommy to carry her up and down. She hasn't barked at all yet. She loves to be held and cuddle. She and I are getting along very well.

What I have questions about are the traits of the breed, any house training tips, and such.

I would also like to get to know other Morkie mommies and daddies. She seems like she is going to be a great fit in our family. We do have other dogs (one of which is mad at me) a chihuahua, a golden retriever mix, a cat, and a corn snake. The chihuahua is the one who is not very happy with me right now. She ran in the living room and won't come even close to me. She will get over it and I bet by the end of the night, be sleeping in my bed again. What I am surprised about is that usually she is slightly territorial and a bit aggressive at times, but she is fine with Ruby. Probably because of the size. She is a momma's girl and I know jealousy will come and go but she always gets over it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Stacie

Welcome to Designer Mixes. With all the pets you have in your home I do not really think you need any tips on being a pet parents and house training. Each designer dog can be very different there are no breed standards. You could check out each of the breeds in your dogs mix and get some type of an idea of what they maybe like. Enjoy and love your new family member.

scoobydoo that is some great information. So often when people adopt mixed breeds they just do not know what to expect.

Exercise and training are number 1 and 2 the hugs and cuddling part is number 3.

By the way welcome to the designer mixes web site.
