He’s an English chocolate lab. Then of course Raina. Raina became mine after Mary died. She’s settled in well, but it was a hard process of grieving for her. I can tell you that dogs do grieve the loss of their owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? I use biotin per recommendation of this study. It made an improvement with Raina. The supplement I source is Now Foods biotin capsules on amazon. I crack them open and mix the powder in with her food. It’s tasteless. The downside is her toenails grow faster. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/2602924/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine recently broke up with a girl he was seeing that had one of those things. He’s got a 5 year old son from a previous relationship. He couldn’t trust her dog around his son. Sad situation but I couldn’t really blame him. Two yrs ago two of his dogs ganged up on another one of his and killed it. Can you imagine what that fight looked like.

There’s several breeds originating from the eastern breakaway republics that can take down and kill an average size wolf. Doubtful they could take down a large Canadian wolf that can approach 200 pounds, but they could give it a good fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack and Wolves means more than 1 Didn’t ‘take on’ a pack of wolves the wolves entered a yard and 2 dogs grabbed an adolescent wolf while the owner scared away the pack.
