The About Dogs Newsletter

From the Editor:
The new year has started and hopefully everyone's household has settled back into placidity. With the new year started, our goals are to walk more, play Fetch more, provided the dogs can stop coating the ball with slobber everytime they throw it for me, and to start cooking all those great recipes for homemade dog treats that members have posted in the forum. What are your goals for this year?

How do I trust a Pit Bull breeder?
"I know from experience with two dogs who came from him that it's possible for the pup to grow into a loving, amazing animal, but what should I do? How can I trust a breeder when the animals are amazing, but apparently, he's a jerk?" ~ Chickpea's Mom

Special Feature
Yummy Homemade Dog Treats!
"I'm looking for some cookie receipes to try with my Lab/Whippet. He's a really fussy cookie eater... he will only eat the milkbones and marrow bones (probably because of the sugar content). Any ideas of something I could do myself with some liver/kidney/ etc.... that would be really tasty?" ~ Saylaveev
