Trust me, in my profession, I do not believe everything I read. Hell, I don't even believe experts all the time. On the other hand, I do not agree with sudden lashes or references that contain inappropriate humour (and trust me, I DO have a very good sense of humour and a decided sarcastic streak...) on an informal chat board. Responses and humour have a definite limit, and, I'm sorry, but, in my opinion (and your friend's or yourself may not agree with what I say), your resonse crossed the line of good taste. It was just pointed out that as much advice as could be given had been given. Don't then get mad at someone on the basis that, after reading all 140 posts, she states this that no more advice could possibly be given... I'm sorry, I don't normally get involved in these disputes and take my comments for what they are (mine) but this is something I just had to say.

Lacking of attention vs seeking attention

That is the question dear Watson!

IMO, good foods include:

Home made fare (made yourself)
California Gold
Wellness
Canidae
Petcurean
Royal Canin
Nutro

Bad foods:

Purina
Pedigree
Science Diet
Iams/Eukanuba

Mind you, all of these lists are based upon READING THE INGREDIENTS. All opinions were made based on the information provided to you earlier in this thread.

I'm opting to keep my mouth shut both on the grammar issue and the amount of posts wasted on what could have easily been resolved in 12 posts.

I use Eagle Pack dog food for my dog, who is a Rotti/Shep cross. He loves it!! It is a bit more money but it is worth it. He does however get nasty farts from it, so beware.

Good luck with your dog!

Thanks Mona!!

I just don't use much commercial dog food - plus, I have a soft spot for Canadian companies, thus the Petcurean!!

I have to agree. 140 posts about not taking food away and which to choose is a bit much. How many times can you be told the same thing? How many people have told you that you've got some information and need to make a decision? You asked about whether or not people in Canada are this friendly or not. If there's a language barrier issue, that's one thing but I don't believe that to be readily apparent here despite the grammar issue. By the by, I couldn't care less about bad grammar, as long as you get your point across.

And as for the lightening things up by making a comment about dedicating the beating of a dog to certain people on this board? I agree with CMT, that's in bad taste. If you see light humour in posting that on an internet pet site, you've got a direly lacking sense of humour.

Anyhoo, there ya have it. Hope you and your dog get things figured out with the information you've been given.

HeidiHo, You have got some issues. I, for one, question your ability to properly care for any animal.

No Luba, I am Floridian, a true cracker or goat roper (whatever!)..or I could be called a "conch" since I was raised in the Keys..lol!

'nuff said...this thread does appear to be for attention only...too many immature responses from one party.
The quickest way south is to mention harm to any animal...HeidiHo, you are a winner in this regard.
It would suck to be one of your animals..

Well,after reading most of these posts,I must say,the subject has been chewed enough.Just one dumb question from a cat-owner.
Why after leaving a puppy without food for up to 10 hours,would anyone feel the need to cuddle him when he finally gets to eat?
I know a dog is never supposed to growl or bite even at the threat of losing his food-bowl,but this is one hungry puppy
It just does not make sense to me

your dog trainer should be able to recomend a dog walker or a local dog school that can reccomend one, also the food problem-use trainer, it would be my first option. try keeping notes on what you feed and what works and what doesnt, for future reference.
i once left charlie outside a shop when she was a pup, i came out and a man had her draped across his lap and he was playing with her, i went crazy at him as he was in a great position to steal my dog. i once met a woman who stole a 7 month old pup and was proud of it, be careful.
