We just adopted our first dog. Yey!

Now we need help in identifying what breed she is. So far no one could really tell.

Any help is appreciated.

Her shoulder height is approx. 44cm/17in and she weighs around 8kg/17lbs.

She's originally from Romania.

Hello wonderful puppy community, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on my below situation. Ive spent lots of time already going through and trying suggestions from similar posts but nothing has clicked.

My goldendoodle is 4 months old and we've had her for a month now. The very first night we got her, we crated her for the night, but I now think was a mistake, she sleeps with me now I'm next room over from her crate room and we've sectioned off the house with a gate.

Anyway, fast forward to today, she's a bit of a velcro pup and cries if im in the house and she cant get to me (fine if im out though and someone else is here!). What im struggling with is her naps, whenever I get up to grab something from the kitchen for example, she will follow, napping or no. As you can guess, this means she is having very interrupted sleep through the say and we dont think shes sleeping enough as we're picking up on over exhusted behaviours especially in the evening.

Ive tried crate training, shes fed in there three times a day (is very hesitant to 'come' though). We've managed 8 minutes of her in the crate with the door closed and me moving around but feeding her every few sections. However, after we crate train even if its a short time she will act like the crate is evil! I cant keep her in the sectioned off house because she will just cry and wont settle.

Sorry for such a lengthy post, but does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get her to settle and stay settled? Whether its shut in somewhere or free in the room im not too bothered, i just dont love over tired puppy!

I recently rescued a puppy from a shelter. They told me when they first got him that he had a mild case of fleas and that over the last 3 weeks he’s been on multiple treatments for them and in the last week they hadn’t found any on him. However when I brought him home I noticed he won’t stop itching a few spots so I thought he must still have fleas, however I’ve gone over every inch of him with a comb, flashlight and camera and haven’t found any signs of fleas, no dead fleas, no eggs, No nothing (he’s relatively short haired so I can see down to his skin perfectly) . However I have noticed he’s pretty dirty so I’ve chalked up his itching to just being dirty, also in the places he’s itching he does have healing cuts so it’s possible those could be itching too. The problem is I can’t give him a bath for atleast another week 1/2 because he was neutered on the 13th and they say his stitches can’t be wet, I got some wipes and have been wiping him down to help cause he smells, is there anything I can do to help his itching until I can give him a bath? I feel terrible for the little guy 🙁

Exactly as the title says, I have a 5 week old puppy I’ve had to bottle feed practically since he was born. His mom died shortly after she had her litter, his siblings didn’t make it. He’s a strong eater and I’ve never had trouble giving him a bottle. That’s where the issue starts. He’ll eat until he has stomach aches and throws up and I haven’t figured out how to stop it apart from taking away the bottle. He drinks puppy formula from a bowl now but he still drinks so much he throws up. Any advice on how to fix this behavior would help

Hi! This is Kujo, he’s a 12 week old malamute, husky, GSD cross and he’s lovely but a nightmare at the minute. We’ve been taking him out on 2 x 10 minute walks as that’s what I could find for guidance but this seems to do nothing to tire him out or expel some excess energy. What would you guys recommend for exercise? Does anyone else have a dog with this mix? (Yes I will ask the vet, just asking for guidance before we go to her)

My 5 month old puppy got used to pottying inside on pee pads. I tried removing the pee pad but she just did it exactly where the pee pad was.

She just isn't doing it outside. She's been doing it inside for 3 months now (since I got her, due to vaccinations ) it's driving me insane

So I have 2 dogs and 2 kids. We had the dogs before kids our kids are 2 and 5 and the dogs are 11 and 12. The 11 year old is a boy and he usually never pees in the house. Our 12 year old is a girl and in the last 2-3yrs she has been peeing at night in our house. Usually in the hallway on a rug. I got sick and tired of washing the rug so I got dog diapers and started putting them on her at night. Well in the last 3 days both of our dogs have been peeing all over the house. The 11 yr old boy dog peed on our kids couch and the 12 yr old girl peed on our living room rug 3 times tonight! While we were awake and shortly after they had gone outside. One of the times was right in front of my husband. We are at a loss of why all the sudden she/they are peeing all the time. Money is tight so I don’t want to have to take her to the vet if it’s just for her peeing but this is getting nuts. It’s almost bec we started using diapers on her she’s mad and now is peeing out of spite. I know that sounds crazy but I don’t know what to do. I’m already stressed dealing with 2 kids at home and I cannot deal with our dogs pissing all over our house for NO reason!
