i have a dog that looks, like a labrador but has the german shepherd colour, what could it be.

It would be a cross bred dog.

Alsation is the old term for a German Shepherd. No one calls them Alsations any more.

Q&A: What size dog house should you get for a Sheltie?

Question by Roberto A.: What size dog house should you get for a Sheltie?
Should the dog house have lots of extra room for her or should it be cozier?

Best answer:

Answer by Cookie The First One
Shelties should NEVER BE PUT IN A DOG HOUSE. It is a breed that was bred to be with humans, not stuck outside alone. It’s downright abuse when it’s done to any sheltie.
If the breeder you bought the dog from is a legitimate breeder of shelties you would never have been allowed to buy one of her/his pups.

Celebrating Pet Art

When it comes to the pet world there is no shortage of wonderful artists, photographers, cartoonists and others who celebrate pets in their own particular fashion and style. I would like to share a few of my favorites with you.

There is no question that whatever their specific artistic talent may be, these artists all have one thing in common – a love and appreciation of animals, clearly evident in their work. I have been lucky enough in my career to cross paws with some of the best in the business and in some instances actually worked with them on projects. I have included what I consider to be the pick of the litter to share here in this post so you can celebrate their talents along with me!

How to stop a dog from marking in the house?

Question by BostonSportsFan: How to stop a dog from marking in the house?
My dog is so wonderful and totally house trained. He will not go in the kitchen but if he gets past the baby gate into the living room he will mark everything! When I come home he slinks outside with his tail between his legs and ears flat, before I even say anything. Like he knows what he did was totally wrong. Any ideas? (He is a 4 year old German Shepard.)

Why do people give dog behavior advice over the internet?

Question by sacdogbehavior: Why do people give dog behavior advice over the internet?
On this site and many others I see average laypeople trying to give advice on how to address aggression, fear and shyness and other behavior problems.

What worked on your dog or what you saw on tv is relevent to that specific situation and does not apply to every dog or every situation. Behavior problems should be evaluated and addressed on an individual basis by a professional. The wrong advice will make problems worse or create a problem that was not previously there.
