Q. What are the worst dogs to have with other dogs? Dogs that are aggressive around others or just plain don't get along. Thanks for your help.
This is just out of curiosity not because I want dogs that hate each other.

A. Generally, pitbulls ARE dog-aggressive and it is inherent in them so it is something that, contrary to some beliefs, cannot be trained out of them. I have owned many, and they have many qualities and are some of the best dogs in the world- for other reasons. And Bull Terriers are usually not great with other animals, either, particularly rescues. And I wouldn't recommend a Presa Canario for an invite to whatever doggie social event is on the calendar (or people event, for that matter).
What exactly are the dogs saying when they bark all night?
Q. What exactly are the dogs saying when they bark all, I mean all night ? My dogs, there is 5 outside , are barking( God gave me all 5 dogs, did not buy any of them.). I live in northern Kentucky out in the middle of nowhere. . It is 6 10 PM , barely dark. Why do they make this noise all night. Do not really expect an serious answer, the research scientists work on these crazy questions all the time. Thanks for any answer !
If God did not give me these dogs. Where exactly did they come from These dogs just showed up. We put the dried dog food out there , they eat it. --- If someone would put out steak, hamburger, french fries ,just give me your address , I will show up !!!.

A. No 'research scientists' bother with this... Dog bark to alarm - there is nothing they are 'saying' at all. A dog's primary language is essentially 'body language' - they communicate primarily through their posturing and secondarily through smell. Barking is not a true form of communication. They bark because they are bored and are alarming at sounds that occur. God didn't give you dogs dear - they may have been dumped in the country and happened upon your property and you decided to keep them. This is a serious answer but likely not one you will want to believe :)

What is the best dog for young children?
Q. What is the best dog breed for a family with a 2 year old and a 4 year old with no fenced in backyard. 4 year old is hyper but loves animals.
I have had dogs in the past with no fenced in yard just want ideas on dogs that are better with small children. I do have a backyard for the dog to play in as well as family near by (2 minutes) where the dog can run once a day. Children have a chihuahua/shih-tzu but she is in "retirement home" due to age and requiring a more calm living arangement. We are more interested in a dog around age 1 as I am aware puppies are a lot of work. TIA

A. We prefer a medium size mix breed for younger kids. Especially if hyper kids. I would suggest you look for a rescue in the area that keeps dogs around a long time, preferably a no-kill shelter.
A no-kill rescue/shelter has longer to assess temperament of dog and expose to people/other dogs. May have a owner release that is already use to small children. Many breeds are not young children friendly and would not be patient. There are no exacts for any breeds. Many rescues have guidelines on adopting out with young children--to protect all concerned from injury.
You would want to take the whole family to see the dogs. Make sure they have a area for getting aquainted and playing. It is more important that the dog really shows a interest in your children and likes them than pick a dog just because you think it is the ONE. How cute or ugly is not the deciding factor. There has to be a "connection" between the dog and family. Keeping in mind how the dog will be exercised and play outside without fencing!
Are you going to take the time to make sure the kids are playing nice with dog. A hyper child can over-excite any dog. You must be hands on with training the dog and the children. I would encourage a adult dog that is somewhat settled and not too hyper itself. A good rescue will know which dogs would be better suited. They may allow several play visits before you decide. Some may have a return policy if doesnt work out.
Please rescue a dog instead of buying one because of breed.
