Skin Tags?

x1 I would suggest changing vets , as well.

I also think finding the reason/s WHY will lead to better management :) remember- you may have to do this for the next 15 years!!! It is not normal for dogs ...either . best of luck with it :)

So urine and blood tests all came back normal?

yep. Life lessons.

Definitely a vet check - he may have an infection or other problem

..dogs do things humans find odd... and this is not a rare thing. the best way I've found is to have 'poo patrol' a couple of times a day .. just scoop it up ..and it's gone! Make sure yoor pup has plenty of things to chew and play with ...not things Humans love , things dogs love :) BIG beef bones , toilet rolls, tennis ball,.... a treat ball with dry food inside ....

Oh yes!!! Mind you - the cartoon animals were still very popular - and cute , but we knew real ones were different! :)

Ok so I like to see what others do so ........<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(238, 242, 247); ">what do you feed your puppies? first meals are big bones with meat on ..so they suck it and learn to chew .

Mum is in control of this . Increase in pup food and a big lessening in the food mum gets means her milk dries up fairly quickly ..and so she is happy to spend time doing her own thing :)

what exact message did your AV give you, Kirislin?

*nods*

No warnings here= AVIRA av , and Web Of Trust

..What you have done is, I guess similar to buying an F1 race car ...and then having to work out how to drive it safely!! For a first time owner- you have started off in the deep end, for sure ...BUT remember there is help just a few clicks away ..as you already know , so do as you did - let us know any time you are concerned, or notice anything ..or have doubts as to something you've heard .... many different points of view can be useful, if confusing :) One more thing to read ............ may I suggest you and your household start Nothing In Life Is free ... so your babies learn in a gentle, and matter of fact way every hour of their day .. just what it means to behave and get rewarded :) LINK

:) great detail :)

. :p

Toss a coin . The one you have your heart in your mouth waiting for, now it's out of your control.... ... well, there's your decision :p

wow!!! I do love this little treasure :p

No. When I was a kid.. a lot of dogs used to roam the neighbourhood ..and attach themselves to groups of kids playing on vacant blocks etc .... with not an adult or book of rules in sight :p many bitches had puppies in the backyard .... ergo . Kids interacted regularly with all sorts of dogs ..and if bitten (NOT 'mauled) it was usually their fault for being near pups/food etc. We all knew how to behave ..and most of us did so naturally . Kids do not have those freedoms anymore..dogs are terribly restricted , and often singletons ..and the learning by 'osmosis'/experience just doesn't happen.

Them's baby hormones yelling at you ..........save 'em up and make'em work for when your new baby arrives, teebs ..

Alfie&maya .. on D O L there is HEAPS of info on Siberian Huskies if you CLICK HERE and info on puppies & their development if you CLICK HERE There is also discussion on raising littermates together .......................... HERE there is also a siberian husky NSW club site ...full of interesting info, including THIS PAGE enjoy :)

yep.. dogs do choose their person if allowed :)

I would perhaps suggest your friend has Molly on a lead for a while when she's home .. have Molly with her ..attached by a lead ..and keep things matter of fact ... see what happens. IF she humps .. then being attached by lead will enable your friend to diffuse/control the behaviour.

I have not a great deal of experience in this , ...but am thinking it could be either an excitement or an anxiety response as well ...... it happens in pups when there is just an 'overload' .....

Who trains/walks Molly? Who feeds & disciplines her? Does your friend have any health changes ..like maybe menopause /change in hormone levels/pheremones ?
