What type of dry dog food is good for a papillon puppy?
I want to adopt a papillon puppy and I read that Pedigree, Iams, and Purina are not good to give to dogs because they don’t have the nutrition that both puppies and dogs need. What type of dry dog food is healthy and safe for them?
Feeding your dog holistic (natural) foods is the best choice. These foods are more easily digested and absorbed by the dog, which translates to less food consumed and less poo. After researching extensively on dog foods and trying out a few, I would recommend Wellness or Solid Gold. Buy the dry food for puppies and it’ll work wonders! I wouldn’t feed my new puppy anything else.
Does anybody know anywhere to compare dog breeds?
Ive decided to get a dog and ive done a lot of breed research and decided 1 of these breeds-
Bichon Frise
Lhasa Apso
Shih tzu
Does anybody know anywhere that lets you compare the breeds such as size, amount of exercise need etc? So i can decide which of the 3 breeds is more for me. (no cocky answers please!) thanks.
Go to dog shows and talk to the people that own good representatives. I have also found that breed specific rescues are very helpful in telling you the pros and cons of their specific breed. They have a vested interest in their breed getting into compatible homes.
Good luck on your search.

Can anybody recommend an excellent book for obedience training dogs?
I hate the thought of paying hundreds to have our puppy trained when we could do it ourselves. Can someone help recommend a very good book to us,we have a border collie currently 8 weeks old.
There are several books I would recommend. One is "Good Owners, Great Dogs," by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. "Secrets to Dog Training", by Dog Trainer Expert, Daniel Stevens. It’s a terrific book on how to train dog. http://kingdom-of-dog.blogspot.com/
You can do a lot yourself, but having your puppy in a structured class, along with reading and working with your pup at home, is the best way to do things. Interacting with other pups and people in a setting where you expect your pup to obey in spite of major distractions is something you can’t do at home. Our local park district charges $84 for an 8 week class. I would highly recommend a lot of reading, practice at home and the classes.
