My fellow JTFers, I would just like you to pray for my 13 year old dog that is having trouble walking and has bad back legs. His name is Sargeant and he is a Golden Retriever.
Thank You
-
I will pray for your dog to get better
-
I really love dogs so I hope he gets better. The sad reality is that dogs dont live forever and 13 years old is getting up their in years for a dog.
-
You got it.

Oh, poor little thing. I'll send up a prayer for him.

...time to get the shot gun and take ol' Yeller out back....
no just kidding...

Is a golden retriever the same as a yellow Labrador? I always get those breeds confused.
My sister has a brown Labrador who is also 13 years old. He's arthritic in his legs and hips, and I'm wondering if it's the same thing with your dog. Labradors are known for being getting arthritis, among other things.
Anyway, I hope your dog gets better soon.

Dr. Dan its a good thing your not a vet. ??? Lets hope the dog makes a recovery. Your dog is in my thoughts ProJewChristian.

13 years? Wow. What's that like in human years?
-
Just recently (a few months ago) I had a 16 year old dog whose back leg atrophied. I will pray for your little one and I hope that everything will be fine for as many years as G-d wills it.

You really don't get it at all and that's not funny.

i have a 9 year old dog...so i'm allowed to make jokes like that.

They are similar but not identical. Labs have shorter hair and come in two other colors besides golden--black and chocolate.
And it is true that 13 is pretty old for a big dog. Smaller breeds live longer.
Anyway, I certainly will be praying. I know how you feel--I have an 18 1/2 year old cat.
-
Thank You, My dog is already showing signs of recovery. It is truly Amazing. He has a limp, but that is about it. And my dog is a golden retriever. I believe they are the cousin to the Labs. Goldens and labs both have history of arthritis. They are extremely similar.
-
Have you taken your dog to a vet it can be arthritis or Hip displasure they have pills for those conditions which are similar to over counter drugs that are sold to humans.If the pills don't work you cn take your dog to vet once a week for about 8 to 10 wks to get shots,or you can do what idid with my previous dog take the injections and medicine home and give the dog the injections yourself.It's easy and the dog is'nt bothered.

what's his hebrew name and his mother's name? :P

I had small Tibetan dogs, then I had a Doberman and then after had a ferocious pair of cross breed of Alsatian and Great Dane.
Till the age of 54, I was running after these dogs and whenever I got tired these dogs started running after me.
Then this chain of dogs expired and within two years I got high BP. Now I can not manage any St. Bernard or Mastiff.
Dogs are indeed the best friends of the right type of humanity. They do differentiate instinctively and immediately between the good and evil. So they are discouraged just outside the borders of Israel.
I pray that all your dogs and all the dogs of the world shall live happily and barking and running. O0 O0
With Regards... :)

You had a Dog half Great Dane and half German Shepperd?

C.F. - How long do cats normally live? You must take great care of your cat. 18 1/2 WOW

Normally Cats live longer then Dogs My Mother had a Cat Growing up in Brasil which lived 24 years which when I heard that was amazed
-
That is amazing.

Just kidding ;)

Yes, to me it appears that it had about 25% traits of Great Dane and 75% traits of Alsatian. The Alsatians were erstwhile called unfortunately as German Shepherds.

If you look at a lot of dogs mixed with German Shepherds they tend to look like the German Shepherd
-
German Shepherds are closer to wolves than some other breeds of dogs so their genetic traits might be a bit stronger/passed on more visually.

I like huskies and German Shepherds but I'm not so fond of pit bulls. It's not Pit Bull's fault, but they were bred almost solely for aggression, so I personally would not want to own that type of dog. I also don't like Dobermans or Rottweilers because they're just spooky.

A lot of people are like that its OK My Uncles Neighbor hates the Dogs he calls them Brasilian Krauts :laugh:

When I was a small child there was a guy who lived across the street from us that had two dobermans. They would always exhibit predatory type behavior, looking at me like they wanted to attack or even eat me, glaring at me with their heads pointed right at me and sort of half crouched like they were looking for an opportunity to rush at me, but not moving forward because I had my parents with me. One time I was talking to my friend who lived a couple of houses down from the house with the dobermans, who were exhibiting that predatory type body language, and one of them ran over and knocked him down while we were talking, and I had to go and rush for help for him. Thankfully he was ok, but he had been bitten, and it scared all of us and I didn't know if the dog would have killed him if he had tried to fight back or not.
I don't hate any breed of dog, I just don't want to be around dobermans, rottweilers, pit bulls, or other extremely aggressive large breeds.
I like Great Danes though. I think they only get a bad rap because they're large. My aunt had Great Danes and they were awesome dogs.

Rottweilers are like small cows :::D
great danes are big but what about mastifs
-
My Friends Dog did that to me but he did not bite me he jumped on me and started licking me
I didn't see that dog for 5 years
-
I haven't had any encounters with mastiffs so I can't fairly judge them.

She is a Siamese, which tends to be a fairly long-lived breed.
Indoor cats (which ours always are) live substantially longer than outdoor owing to the simple fact of being sheltered from danger, disease, cars, predatory animals, etc. With good care, an average housecat should manage 15-18 years or more.

We used to have a German Shepherd--lived to be ten and died of lupus (a pretty decent lifespan for a dog of that size). Incredible protection dogs, but they are pretty much strictly one-family pets (without a superhuman level of training from puppyhood, they will not tolerate others on or near their property, without exception) and don't tolerate other family pets either.
Large breeds, especially Shepherds, suffer pretty severely from hip dysplasia (I believe ~45% of Shepherds have it to some degree), and it's pretty much impossible to deal with without surgery. Luckily ours never had it, but he did develop lupus, which eventually destroys every single organ. Most purebreds have nagging genetic weaknesses. My advice to potential pet owners is to get a mutt--they're free, you'll be saving a life, and they tend to be much healthier!

My neighbor has a pure breed German shepherd That dog only understand German But it is a cool dog

I've heard of a lot of people using German commands to train dogs. It's supposed to be traditional as so many breeds of dogs originated there.
This is one of my favorites:
