does anyone know of a good kennel in philadelphia or southern new jersey?

Also, is five months too young to leave a puppy

Answer
Here is a directory site for New Jersey and Philadelphia;

As for leaving a puppy of 5months ~ depends on what you mean by "leave?"

Are you going out of town for a couple days? Or just away from the home for couple hours?

If your going out of town for a couple days and need to kennel ~ be sure you research the kennel service thoroughly; ask questions, if they have a website check it out, ask for references, be sure you provide the dog w/a safe haven ~ his/her crate, toys, and blanket.

You can also call the SPCA and inquiry on services thru them, if they do not provide those type of services in your area use them as a resources find out who does and who they recommend....

Aggressive dog boarding in NJ?

Anonymous

Does anyone know of any boarding or kennel facilities in New Jersey that allow aggressive dogs to board? I've heard that there are some that allow the dogs to be in indoor and outdoor (through a pet door) run where staff wouldn't have to come in contact with the aggressive animals, but I never found one yet in NJ looking through the internet. If anyone knows of one, please let me know!

Thanks!

Answer
Most boarding facilities won't take dogs with known aggression problems. The liability for their employees is just too high. If the dog got sick or injured, there would still be situations where they would need to handle it. And they need to be able to secure the runs for cleaning without coming in contact with the dog, which requires a special kennel arrangement.

I think you will have a hard time finding one.

How can I do for sell/adopt 4 newborn puppies?

How can I do for sell/adopt 4 newborn puppies?
I had 4 newborn puppies of Miniature Schnauzer in my house (New Jersey), they was whelped on 18th of May, 2006,Iâm planning to sell/adopt them, who could tall me how can I do now? Shall I have to register them and how and go where to register?

Answer
You can advertise them on any number of on-line free classifieds in your area. Do Google or Yahoo search for the sites.

You can put up flyers at grocery stores, pet supply stores and other businesses in your area.

Better still tell your family and friends that you have 4 puppies available for sale and that if they know of anybody looking to buy a Miniature Schnauzer then to contact you.

Please be sure to screen each potential adoptive home throughly by asking them questions such as: Have you had any experience with dogs before? Do you have any other pets? Do you have any children? How old are they? Do you live in an apartment or a house? If you live in a aparment or are renting do you have your landlords permission to get a dog? How many hours a day will the puppy be spending alone? Will the dog be kept indoors or outdoors? This type of dog will not do well outside in the hot summer and cold winter!! Will they be taking the puppy to obedience classes? What will they do with the animal if they are going to travel? Do they have a vet? What will they do if there becomes a time when they are unable to keep the puppy/dog? These are just a few of the questions you should be asking if you want to find the best home for your pups!

Have them sign an agreement not to breed the puppies and to have they spayed or neutered by the time they are 10 months of age, then they must prove to you that they have done this. Also have them sign that they agree to keep the puppies shots up to date. Ask for at least 3 references and the name of their vet so you can contact them.

As far as regeristering them, in order to do that both of the puppies parents must also be registered. You must contact the American Kennel Club to register them. They will guide you through the process. You can find the American Kennel Club by doing a search through Google or Yahoo.

Good Luck I hope you find happy, loving and safe homes for your pups.

If it is at all possible visit their home to see where your puppy will be living.

What else do I need to know before I get a fox?

Kelsey

I may be getting a fox and I know a lot already because I have done plenty of research over the years. But what are some basics that I need to know?

What food is best for a fox? I know you can feed them dog food, meat and some vegies but what else?
Also, do they have to be crated? Or can they just sleep with you like a dog?
Also, what are some good/fun toys for a fox? I know dog toys work great!

Also, what shots will they need? Parvo or anything like that?

Thanks!

Answer
Foxes like raw meat like drumsticks and will sometimes take small bits of fruit and vegetables (don't give them anything you wouldn't give to a dog like chocolate and grapes). They like to take walks but will not heel by your side like a well trained poodle. They will zig-zag and pull while you just hold onto the leash and hope your arm doesn't fall off. Don't walk them in highly populated areas like past a school or the aisle at Petsmart. Some of the public don't recognize foxes as domestic animals (they are on the verge of becoming tame in Russia) and might try to get you fined even if your state allows it. Fennec foxes should be kept in large ferret cages when not being watched and fennecs scream when they are excited. Foxes like to chew so nylabone chew toys for dogs are good. Most species smell a bit musky, the red fox is the smelliest, but most people can get past it. You should NEVER have a fox running around the backyard like a dog would. A fox can easily jump a fence, run away, and in sad cases get shot by a hunter since foxes don't have a good homing instinct like dogs do. They need a backyard enclosure or a large kennel with plenty of things to climb (especially if it's a grey fox) and hide in like logs and ledges. Check your local laws before you go out and grab a fox kit. Some states allow only a specific species of fox. New jersey doesn't allow the arctic, red, and grey fox but allows Swift, Corsac, and fennec foxes.

good animal shelter to give your dog to in New Jersey?

best dog kennel new jersey image

Q. My dogs have been a little bit much to handle. If you could please help me find a good animal shelter to give my Pitbull and Pitbull-German Shepard mix to in New Jersey it would be greatly appreciated; thank you

Answer
if their already grown and not trained the nicest thing you could do is to bring them in and put them to sleep and be there for them when they do it. i know this sounds really mean but if you take them to a shelter theyll be separated and put in kennels and be confused. because their pitbulls they have a strike against them and if theyre not trained no chance unless theyre extremely lucky, but theres other pits that will be well trained looking for homes so not much of a chance.maybe try and keep one then maybe you can manage to train it. all the shelters in nj do put to sleep and pits and pit mixes are the lst they are the hardest to adopt out.

Whats a good dog breeder in New Jersey that sells small dogs?

Alvarez

I live in central new jersey and i have recently been looking for a puppy.
I was thinking along the lines of a small shih tzu. If you know of another dog breed that is more suitable please tell. If you have any info please answer.(links to the breeders web would be good).

Answer
Look up the local kennel club and attend some dog shows. Ask the exhibitors of the breeds that interest you if they have time to talk to you aobut their dogs, and if they dont' because they are preparing to show, find a good time to come back to talk to them. Usually people who show are responsible breeders as well, but not always, so do your homework. When looking for a breeder, make sure they are responsible. A responsible breeder will:

1) be breeding to the breed's standard..no teacup, micro, mini, imperial,
king, or other goofy term for runts or oversized dogs. No intentional
"rare", meaning unaccepted by the breed standard, colors either.

2) will be actively showing or working the parents.

3) will have genetic health testing done, such as OFA or PennHip, CERF,
VonWillebrand's, etc.

4) will give you the results of that testing in writing

5) insists on spay/neuter for pet pups.

6) has a contract citing the spay/neuter clause and also offering to take
back the pup at any time for any reason for the rest of its life.

7) is open, honest, and available to the new owner, and can talk aobut their
breed for hours.

8) does a home check before placing a pup, and will turn down homes that
might not be suitable for a pup of their breed.

9) does not put money above the well-being of their animals.

If the breeder you are considering doesn't fit these guidelines, find a
better breeder. You are more likely to get a mentally and physically
healthy pup from a responsible breeder.
