My husband and I had just bought a new Beagle puppy. She is not an AKC registered puppy (the breeder never registered them). How can I register her for the AKC and her litter of puppies in the future? Do I have to buy an AKC registered dog in order to register the little of puppies?

I am thinking about buying a puppy that has an inguinal hernia. The breeder let me know all about it and is letting me have him for a fraction of the price of the other puppies. However, is this surgery going to cost me a lot more money? Should I buy a regular healthy puppy for a few more hundred dollars? The puppy is only 8 weeks old. How soon before i can have the surgery?

Me and my husband are thinking of getting a puppy this year, but we are wondering if our two adult cats will be able to share their territory with the new puppy. It will be a pity to get the puppy and realize that our house has become a war zone for good! Any advise on how to introduce the puppy to the cats?

My parents accidental bought purina puppy chow for all puppies instead of the puppy chow for large breed puppies. Should we take the bag back and get the large breed puppy food or is the all puppy food fine for her. Does she need the joint lubrication stuff in her food or will she be fine in the future and not get any joint problems unless she is overweight or getting old?

I am thinking of getting a puppy growing to be medium sized but the problem is no one is at home from 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. What should I do to keep the puppy occupied? Should I leave it in a crate that long? My father may come at around noon to have lunch and take the puppy out to relieve itself. What should I do for the puppy during the 4 hours or so it is alone at home?

My friend and I just got a miniature pinscher puppy and she is barking so much when we leave, that the neighbors have been complaining. The puppy tends to bark when we leaveswhich I know is completely normal. What would be the best way to train a puppy to not bark so much without having to to take her to a trainer? We just dont want to have to debark the puppy or have to put her down if they neighbors take this any further. Please help!
