Let's See Your Dogs!!

cane corso/italian mastiff.. big dummies lol

the two down in front are corsos.. the pups temperament drove me crazy, but then the big fellow came along and I realized much of the oddness was just breed behaviors..

 

coonhound in there at all?

 

Cool looking pooch! Making the dog do the dishes for his meals, get him off to good start, no slackers allowed.

 

You can try Pumpkin Pure. Petco suggested it when our puppy went thru the same and it fixed it pretty quickly.

 

Zoom in on the bed of my truck

 

Sorry to hear that. What made you give her away?


I'm waiting on my newest addition now. Another male corso. Fathered by world champion Xman. Amazing pedigree.

He is only 2 weeks old right now. I get to go visit him tomorrow.

 

Nice congrats on the new pup. I had three dogs but had a failed relationship and I could only keep one dog. And that was my 5yr boxer

 

So my dudes poo has been soft and messy and he’s gotten multiple baths in the last two days from having poopy butt.

I added rice into his meal tonight and I’m going to ad some tomorrow morning as well. Hoping it helps, I also ordered some pumpkin fiber for him to begin mixing with his meals. Getting really tired of baths and wiping his bottom.

 

If that doesn't work switch to boiled chicken and steamed rice only, no kibble. Add pumpkin if you'd like. Try that for a few days or until his poop solidifies. Then SLOWLY add his kibble back until it's all kibble. If his diarrhea comes back it's most likely his food. He could have a food allergy. So if your food has beef switch to chicken or salmon. Also try grain free food, some dogs just can't handle grain while others can.

 

I am not a big fan of crates. Some leave their dogs in them for too many hours every day. I think it is too constrictive. I prefer a pen. Recently my wife and I both had to work days for a week. I purchased a 16 panel pen that you can use as minimal or all of them as you need. Make many small ones or a huge single one. It's easy to setup and take down. Here is the 8 panels with a door as we first tested it.


Funny enough even after adding pee pads he would no go in it after being left there all day. We had plenty of panels left and used a few more to keep him off the carpet until he is fully potty trained. In the last couple of days he started scratching on the door to get out but will still go pee inside if you are not paying attention.


It's easy to open or close the doors when you want to let them into an area or keep them out.

I tried using similar panels with my pup. They could not contain him. He would push them hard by running into them and learned to jump over them within a month. He does not like being left alone.

 

Yeah, I’ll try that if it doesn’t work. But he currently is on grain free food. He had his dewormer medicine on Wednesday and that’s when his soft poop started. Not diarrhea but it’s like soft serve yogurt. Lol makes his bottom messy

 

Charlie sucks on his plush and Oscar licks his butt...

 

Make sure it's pure umpkin and not pie mix

 

Oh yeah that could be why. If so it'll clear up on its own.

Yes, he said he ordered pumpkin fiber so I figured it was something dog specific he found. That's why I didn't mention no pie mix.

 

Yeah I got the pumpkin fiber from chewy. Gonna start mixing that in with his food. He had a solid one this morning about an hour after he had a soft one. Dudes a real terror this morning.

Dude bit my face.

 

Maybe he's feeling better!

 

Close enough

 

My new Irish Setter and my brothers new Weimaraner

 

Not sure. I'll have to ask. There do seem to be some characteristic physical traits on her.

Unfortunate related story: a few weeks after my mom got her, the pup's father got out and was hit and killed by someone driving a truck. The driver never stopped.
