  1. I know you loved him, sorry for your loss Your photographs are a nice tribute to him
  2. Thank you, we will leave it be and see in the upcoming weeks how it goes. We still have their annual appointment in January anyway
  3. So we have their annual vet visit in January, but until then, I would like to have your input. He saw the vet in August and in September for routine controls and a minor surgery of a mast. We got Charlie in August and has been on the same food from September onward. We feed Fromm Classic and Gold (green bag). In the last month or so, he started balding in FRONT of his ears and more recently on top on his ears, always the outer ear. There does not seem to be any black deposit inside his ears, but we are washing them just in case there might be something. Where do I start? I started cleaning the outer ears once per day with an acne solution, then putting bag balm on them, in case it is the cold weather, but I have no idea what it might be. The skin is moist when touched, not dry, no dandruffs (poor quality photo with flash) He doesn't scratch, is not sensitive to being handled around or in the ears. I'm hesitant to call that allergies but...Ideas would be appreciated <-Toward eye Toward ear-> You can see the thining of the fur Thanks
  4. I actually agree with that. Jack's brother lives with an older (well, she is 5 ) husky and it goes really well, whereas I have been on a home visit where Charlie hid between my legs and cried while the huskies played and tumbled around. So it depends
  5. My vet told me three months when Jack got fixed. It took maybe 5-6 months for his unwanted, learned behaviors to go. He still chatters with an unspayed female and will still mount males. (Don't judge! )
  6. My 68-70 lbs male eats about 3 cups per day, give or take a few treats My 80 lbs male is at 3.75-4, depending on activity and they are both at racing weight. Actually my 70lbs is UNDER racing weight as he was a bit storky when racing
  7. Just a silly thought, but if he likes his food so much, how about feeding him outside? Right by the door?
  8. I was wondering for Charlie, we have the purkle for Jack, but Charlie has those silly tiny feet. It fits even your females? (KLilly is out of the equation for this one hahaa) (Sorry to hijack, we have the purple ones at the moment!)
  9. I just want to say congratulation, as you have very nice products and would love to myself be a customer when I can afford a nice creation of yours (and shipping!) Thanks for sharing!

  11. Hello and welcome from Canada! I have a hound from RGT, aren't they just lovely people?
  12. Johnny, do you have the DAP collar? It was DA BOMB for Jack when he first came I have no knowledge of the threanine however, sorry
  13. Just to add re: why isn't she showing symptoms. Everybody (houndie) is different. What can cause illness in someone will not show in others. I work in a toxicology lab and once we received a sample of a lady that was eating so much fish that her mercury levels were 100 times the normal, median exposition. We got the sample for a totally different reason. Why wasn't she showing symptoms of mercury poisoning? We don't really know, it was (to us) a miracle she was not poisoned with all the mercury in her system. We did call her to let her know to restrict her fish intake (she was, afterall, above reasonable threshold). So whatever it is, if you ever find, limit exposition, but if it is not causing her any harm, she might just be very tolerant of lead.
  14. Late to the party, but if it's not in French, it can't be sold here (Quebec). Maybe why
  15. First off, you need to walk her before leaving for work to make sure she poops. I wake up at 5h15 to make sure I have time to walk my dogs, you can do it too! Then, it might be the crate that is making her anxious. And if so, it will only get worse and will be dangerous for her and for your sanity to leave her crated. Is she house-broken WHILE you are home? Have you done ANY alone training at all? It seems as if she might have some separation anxiety and so you need to work on this to address the issue. Search the forum and read “I’ll be home soon”. Also, make sure you make her comfortable with music, lot of exercise before you leave, DAP collar maybe? You can block her off in the kitchen maybe where it would be easier to clean up. Or at least close the doors to the different rooms.
  16. Ours too started whining for everything after a while. We chose to redirect to another action. So now instead of whining, he goes in his special spot and look at us like a Jack-inn-the-box until we figure out what he wants usually food Anytime he would whine, we would put him in his spot then fuss about him. After a while he just went there and waited to be fussed on or fed Ignoring would have worked I guess if DH didnt gave in when the whining got more intense...But yea totally fine to ignore, but you must ignore until she gives in
