So around the block we went and he was happy
I know this is a controversial topic but curious to hear people’s opinions and experiences. I’ve worked for a vet for many yrs and drs encouraged to spay and neuter around 6 months. I personally have always followed this standard w my pets my whole life. However I’m reading more and more that the recommendation is now to wait til around a yr to let their bones fully grow. I have a six month old papillon and scheduled his neuter for 2 weeks from now and now I’m second guessing myself and wondering if I should wait. He seems so bowlegged to me and when I pick him up sometimes I can feel his knees or hips cracking. His vet said around 16 weeks that he has loose knee caps but that it’s too early to tell if it will be an issue. I asked at that time about neutering and mentioned my concerns that I’ve read it may be better to wait to let their bones fully develop and growth plates close and she recommended doing it at 6 months like I’ve always heard and said waiting is more for bigger dogs not toy breeds. I’m also concerned about marking and behavior issues if I do wait… Thoughts?!?!
“Sorry I knocked the plate onto the floor”
My homie just turned 11. Would it still be possible for him to breed? Want the lad to have some kind of legacy :(
Got a new puppy. Is it true they're harder to potty train?
Xuxa post hike.
And I’ve been so devastated. She died very traumatically and It’s been really hard for me to get over. She was my best friend. Always there for me after a long day. She was such a good girl, we took many trips together and I took her with me to a lot of place. She absolutely adored people ESPECIALLY children. I believe her first family had kids so she was very fond of young children. I’ve spent many evening feeling lonely and mourning her. It has brought me great joy to look at all the other papillons on this page. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Managed to get a quick pic before he dropped the pinecone. He’s 4 months old!
So my Simba did not like the idea of a doggie seatbelt. He slipped right out of the harness and promptly took his place on my lap. Then he didn’t like the idea of the vet tech taking him away from me this morning to draw blood. He promptly backed out of his collar and ran back to me. Sooooo lol this is him after a hard morning
She was a diva and has the loudest bark I've ever heard.
Hi guys, I have this question as title says. I wonder is this breed prone to Ears infections? Do anyone in here have experience with both Papillion and Phalène by chance or especially if the drop ear ones get more infections due to their ears hanging down? But I am also curious if Papillions are or not prone to it since they have different ear standing.
I am just very curious if this might be a more than likely battle to fight, as I have experience with that Golden Retrievers for example seems rather prone to it abd it's such a pain to fight. One I rather hope to avoid in a future dog.
The final is this Sunday!
