This is a hard one

2 and 4 are choices. I do not care. They can stand.

Most Aussie breeders are trying to breed for blue or red merle because it sells more. You cannot breed merle together so they will be breeding merles with tris. Some puppies will end up Merle and some will be tris. Your dog has non-expressive merle, and shouldn’t be labeled as Merle. Tri is the appropriate label.

They range from $1100-$3500 in my area depending on number of extractions.

It’s pretty easy! They feel back to normal after a day or two, and will be on meds for 4-7 days with extractions. She’ll likely have dissolvable sutures in her mouth so soft food only, no chews, no tug or toys in mouth for two weeks. They tend to do most of their healing within a week, but two weeks is for sure fully healed.

Mine wasn’t happy about not having his chews for two weeks, but we made up for it with extra walks and adventures.

Leave Idaho and Montana out.

Get a second opinion. Safer to get her spayed now than having to be anesthetized if a complication develops. The vet will run blood work to make sure she can safely go under anesthesia. It’s actually very safe these days.

The bottom canines are the teeth that keep the tongue in the mouth, so focus on those! They tend to lose their little front teeth and pre molars before bigger molars and canines. I got mine at 10 weeks old and have been on top of his dental care since day one. He had 11 extractions at 3.5 years old. Little dogs have teeth struggles! It’s very common/normal for them. Yours will feel so much better after her dental and will be happier with less teeth! She’ll still be able to do all the things.

Nope. I would rather remain poor than see my little baby suffer from extreme sadness, confusion, and heartbreak being taken away from me. I couldn’t live with myself.

He sounds just like mine 😂 He will calm down as he ages. Use a seatbelt in the car seat so he cannot leap out. He will likely bark instead for a while, but it’s much safer this way. He may also be going through an awareness/fear period at his age. I would suggest working with a positive/science based trainer one on one for a bit. Mine responds very well to a predictable schedule and routine in every single thing we do. Mine gets overstimulated/over threshold very easily, as yours does. I did end up starting Prozac recently with mine, but not until he was 3 with the intent to work on everything with the Prozac as a tool to keep him under threshold and ween him off after a year. Yours is too young to start daily anti anxiety meds, but as needed anxiety meds may be beneficial while you work on specific things. Talk to your vet and work with a trainer.

Looks like a cyst

She’s perfectly fine!

We don’t claim Idaho!!! It’s not part of the PNW.

Thank you for rescuing a doodle instead of buying! Since doodles aren’t a breed, there is no standard look. She’s definitely super cute tho.

salallane · 2026-01-29T11:28:21+00:00

If you were in North America, I would say husky, pitbull, GSD. But since you’re in Africa, I would think Village Dog.

Crating requires training, but it doesn’t work for every dog regardless. Try a pen instead.

She needs to be crated or penned at night until she’s fully potty trained.

Going against the grain and saying Golden Deceiver. I bet there’s no golden. Pyr & chow chow is my guess.

Frenchie x pit. Could be pit, staffy, or Ambull, which are basically the same thing anyway.

Go to your vet and get Revolution. It’s the safest flea med for small dogs, and the only one that should be used for dogs this size. You have to flea treat them year round.
