can anyone help me?

Answer
You should do some research in training especially but for now, get him a reliable vet. He/She will know what shots to give the new puppy. He'll need a distemper, heartworm protection if in warm areas, kennel cough, and some others that i dont remember. He'll need a rabies at 6 months of age and spay/neutered at that age too.

He needs a GOOD quality hollistic premium kibble such as Innova Puppy (which is the best food there is, all human grade meets that pass the USDA inspection) Karma Oragnics, Eagle Pack, Solid Gold, etc. These brands are EXPENSIVE but you will save money on it later on vet bills and you feed less becasue they have no fillers. Innova is what i feed and its 20$/6.6 lbs or 48$/16 lbs (in ottawa)

If you can't afford those prices then i suggest a brand like Wellness or Costco's Kirkland dog food. Those are cheaper but still pretty good.

AVOID foods like IAMS, Eukanuba, pedigree, purina. They might be famous but are HORRIBLE for your dog.

Drink: just give her plenty of water.

Other Supplies: a crate with a divider, crate set, playpen, nylabone, kongs, other chew toys, some stuffed toys, food/water dish, collar, leash, harness, training books, puppy classes

good luck :)

Does anyone know where to Buy Pigeons for Dog Training in Ottawa?

Like the Question Says. Please no joke answers. It's completely legal and the birds will not be harmed
TO ANDREA. TO TRAIN A POINTING DOG YOU NEED LIVE BIRDS. YOU ARE THE DUMMY.

Answer
In many locations, it is legal to net or trap wild pigeons - they are considered a pest. It is fairly easy to catch enough for dog training with a long-handled fishing net under a bridge or in someone's barn in a few hours at most. That's where my boss used to get them when I worked at a gundog training kennel.

Other possible suppliers would be pigeon fanciers willing to sell culled birds cheap. Call the local extension office to find out if there are 4-H members who raise pigeons in your area or if they know of any poultry fanciers, or look up local poultry organizations, or head to your local feed store and ask if you can post a "wanted" on their door or if they can give your contact info to the people who regularly buy pigeon feed from them.

Good luck!

Is Howling Pines a good Alaskan Malamute breeder?

Louise Gau

I really want an alaskan Malamute, But it seems that the closest registered breeder is Howling pines, which is 6 hours away from Ottawa, Does anyone have any advice?

Answer
i will say yes. ask to look at the gene tests that they say the parents have passed.
ask about contracts, vaccinations, guarantees. ask about what they do for their pups. the dogs are shown in the Canadian kennel club which is reputable and not to be confused with the continental kennel club that is disreputable.

they also show and work the dogs which makes me warm up to them

(The money is not important)

Help please!!

Answer
Petsmart training varies greatly depending on location and their individual trainers. But I have heard petsmart dog hotel is alright, and if anything went wrong they'd be liable for it 100%. Leave the name of your vet and their number, and leave a set of instructions for your dog. He should be fine, a little stressed but he will not die! I suggest you look into other actual boarding kennels and see if you can find any reviews online. Good luck! Your dog will be fine, just Really excited to see you when you get home! It's actually good for a dog to have to be separated sometimes so they aren't Too bonded. It's like a learning experience for him. And when he gets playtime with the other dogs he will have fun!

Does St. Albert ON Canada Have A Hunting Dog Rental?

Q. I have recently come across some information that there is possibly a Hunting dog rental, or a kennel that offers those features near Ottawa, Either St. Albert or Albert Ontario? I was just wondering if anyone knew of this to be true or had any further information on the subject!

Thanks so much
The reason I ask this is because we found a small beagle near our cabin which had a transmiter on her collar, the thing was almost near death so we took it back up to our cabin. Only to have a few guys come by later and ask if we found a dog. We eventually found out they had waited 4 days to look for the dog, lost another one as well and apparently "rented" these dogs from this place they claim exists. They said if they lost the dogs they would have to pay 300$ each for them.

Answer
I have been a dedicated outdoors enthusiast for all of my adult life. I have been totally involved with numerous professions regarding hunting, fishing, etc. I have been a guide, game warden, master taxidermist, and am still a full time wildlife artist. My point in bringing all of that up is simply this: In 50+ years in the outdoors business, I have NEVER heard of anyone willing to trust a trained hunting dog to a stranger for any amount of money. Having once had the third largest hunting preserve in California, I can't begin to imagine letting one of our dogs go hunting with someone who knew little or nothing about how they were trained and how to handle them. With that in mind, I doubt seriously whether any kennel today would let a dog go out without its trainer/handler going with it. The liability and risks are just too great. (Imagine what kind of deposit you would need to put down to insure the well-being and safe return of the dog?) If there really is a dog rental place, expect to have to hire the dog AND dog handler for a sizable fee. You might have a better chance of rescuing a labrador retriever or german shorthair pointer from your animal shelter for less and get as much. Good luck.
