I have a dog bed down stairs for Crystal and a Blanket upstars in my room, but every day when i wake up she's on the bed lieing across my legs, she use to sleep down stairs until she learned how to open doors now its a night mare i have to let her in my room other wise its the clicking of the door handles wakeing you up in the middle of the night.

Crystal Bleu , Breeder let us Name her my Self cause i put deposit down before she was born so no long names.

Mine are Bourbons with a glass of milk and dunk them in it, also i cant get enough of Ginger Bread man's Love them.

I get this too they let there Dogs Poo just out side my Gate, i can not wait to catch one in the Act they will get a very good ear bashing from me, its not hard to buy the bags and pick it up , lol i have bags in nearly every one of my Coats.

Crystal is 21" and she is 2 years old , i get this all the time with the so called experts off the street they never seem to own a Husky but i bet one of the friends do, So they will know better than you, its funny to hear and i just let them have there rant and when there finnished i walk off laughing.

Hope Mixi Pulls Through, Fingers crossed.

This is a good point as my Girl who will be 2 in march, when see was a pup chewed through an old fashioned Leather 2 seater, with ease strait through the middle, chewed dinning table and chairs shoes.boots and Kids toys, after a bit you dog will grow out of this, mine did and its rare she chews anything now. Can not help you with crate training as i dont keep mine in a crate and i can totaly trust her on her own, also Potty training just keep at it, your dog will learn not to do it in the house just stick to your guns you will get there in the end, then you can tell every one else your stories of the time when your dog did this and that not what my dog does.

You have some good advice there and i think that she thinks that she is the Alpha and you just need to let her know that this is not the case, when she growls at you or trys to bite you try your hardest not to pull back or jump as she will know that when she growls or snaps the she knows how to put you in line, but i do think she is testing the water with you has my girl tryed the same around the same age and like some one else saind bite the ear, dont be too scared my girl as a pup was very dominant and when i picked her up she did somthing wrong that her mom didnt like and her mom gripped her neck and pushed her to the floor with a big growl still she submitted, i had im my head ohh lol did i pick the right one but it soon passed and she is the best dog in the world. Also forgot to add was if my girl bit me i would yelp and then ignore her, this worked really well for me and even till this day she hates it if i ignore her.

I dont know how to really answer this because ive been lucky with teaching Crystal, but one thing is that she picks up every pit of paper she finds on the floor, i get her to drop it but what i do now is if we see a pice of paper i say LEAVE before we get to it ( I know shes looking at it ) after a bit she got use to Leave and now i do the same with dogs and other animal specialy Birds when walking. Works for me maybe you will have to use somthing your dog is really interested and practice with that.

Fox's where i live just look at you and walk off casually, but saying that it was about 5 years ago not seem many now.

Here is a site so with some recipes for weight gain for dogs maybe try a couple if they sound good enough, http://www.lowchensa...ealth/diet4.htm make little fatty treats and could feed normally.

Glad to hear it, but youwill have to check out the food and diet section there are some threads by Sid Wolf that really make good reading i went all over the net reading advice and really every site tells you somthing different thats why it seems a little confusing, but Sid Wolf gives you the main out line easy read and very understandable, i just feed mine Raw and offel, and Treats and some times Raw fish mainly sardines and i dont think its that costly really.

I have 2 boys, a cat , Tropical fish, and Crystal we manage to do everything just fine, plus Crystal love playin with the kids, ones 3 and the eldest is due to be 7 this month, but my youngest was still a baby when we got Crystal and i think of her as one of mine kids.

oops edit didt work, sorry for second post.

Lol same here just wait till you need to cross the road people will just stop and then let you cross, when crystal was a pup it took me an hour later just to pop round to me mums for a coffie get stopped non stop, got better now though i have a halti so all the chav's think its a muzzle. keeps them from just reaching out ( bugg's me should ask).
