My friend adopted a poodle/chihuahua mix and needs to know how she should care for her as far as bathing. The puppy is about 6 months old and has sensitive skin. Should she bathe her and if so using what type of shampoo….
Use an aloe or oatmeal shampoo specifically for sensitive skin. The Novapearls products are some of the best. Make sure to rinse very thoroughly, use a sprayer if you have one, and dry completely. If you don’t you could leave residue that will irritate the skin.
Where can i find the black squiggly line border that is on the pink poodle in paris birthday party theme?
I want to create my own invitations and need to find the black squiggly line border that appears on the balloons and plates.Does anyone know the name of that style of border or know where i can find it ?
There are a few things you can do to emulate this look:
1) Use a satin cord/ribbon and glue it to your invitation. You can cut and paste the plate image into Word or some similar program, enlarge the picture to the size you want and then cut the black border out. This will be your template. Trace it very lightly onto your invitation with a pencil, then add glue over your pencil marks and then your cord/ribbon.
2) Using the template, trace the shape onto the invitation and then color it on to your invitation.
3) Using the template, trace the shape onto black paper and cut it out and then glue to your invitation.
This is about all I can think of. I haven’t seen this border in any of my processing programs that I have to make the invitation on the computer…
Here is a link to show the satin cord/ribbon. I know you can get it at a beading supply place, craft store or fabric store. It’s usually on a spool.

When it comes to dog breeds, poodles often take the top notch in obedience and agility shows, as the result of proper toy poodle training that most of them undergo. They are exceptionally bright, sensitive, active, and peaceful with other pets. But oftentimes due to stress, they become sick in their stomachs.
If you have a toy poodle, it will be a smart move if you let him undergo the basic toy poodle training. Poodles are eager to learn and have the ability to predict what their owners want them to do.
Here are some helpful toy poodle training tips that will work on your poodle:
Poodles are very sensitive dogs so you must be prepared for the training, too. They study their owners’ facial expression and movements and make incredible attention to every detail. For example, if you seem upset or angry, your pet will become anxious and worried, too.
Avoid training him if you are in a bad mood. Keep the toy poodle training cheerful, gentle, and optimistic as much as possible. Your toy poodle will respond eagerly to positive reinforcement training and praise for good behavior.
Poodles are the easiest of all toy breeds to house train. Provide him with the basic crate-training method like being in the crate at all times unless he is outside relieving herself, eating, or is actively being played by you or other members of the family.
Get your toy poodle involved in obedience classes and, if possible, agility work like obstacle courses. Poodles have tremendous appetite for learning difficult, complex tricks like balancing and ‘thinking’ trick. They love welcoming challenges and it is also a great way to bond with your pet during the toy poodle training.
Try to keep your home cool and with low stress level. If there is regular fighting, angry and emotional people, or lots of stress, your toy poodle will sense it and will become ill or very upset himself. Poodles are calm dogs who need a calm environment to flourish in. Too much stress can create a neurotic and unhappy dog with problematic behavior.
So if you are planning to adopt a toy poodle, make sure that you know the basic facts about the breed plus the preparation in giving him a toy poodle training before taking the plunge. An untrained toy poodle can create havoc in your house and garden.
Would you rather get an American Eskimo Dog, Australian Shepherd, or a maltese poodle mix?
I am getting a dog and these are my bottom three, the eskie, aussie and maltese poodle mix. The good thing is that they are all at the shelter near my house. I have the perfect living conditions for all those dogs. I can’t decide. Which would you rather get and why? Please don’t say that you would not want to get a maltese poodle mix because it is a mutt. Also can you tell me some good ways to stop heavy shedding. Whatever dog you choose that you’d rather get explain a bit about them like their temper.
Is their a way to train the eskie out of barking? My friend’s dog does not bark because it got trained to not bark but it is not an eskie.
Bwahahaha to the person that said Aussies are easy to train and loyal. Aussies are very well known for training their unsuspecting owners. They are manipulative and sneaky and need a loooot of attention and exercise. But I do love mine. He’s never dull. That’s for sure.
That said, I think eskies are some of the most willing dogs when it comes to training. They love learning tricks and doing all kinds of things. They can be barkers, but you can teach them not to be. And not all of them are. If you spend a lot of time with your eskie and keep it busy, it won’t be a bad barker.
Having owned both Aussies and Eskies at some time or another, I think Eskie coats are easier to care for than Aussies. Good quality food cuts back on shedding in both breeds and a Furminator will be your best investment if you get either breed.
If this is your first dog ever, I go with the eski. If you’ve had dogs before and plan on doing dog sports like flyball or frisbee or agility or something the Aussie would probably be ok, but if you’re just wanting a companion to teach tricks to and take for walks, go with the eskie. Aussies are a lifestyle
Hello I’m Ben Parker. I created this site because I love dogs. And believe that it is our job as humans to care for the animals on this planet. But mostly what I see is abuse and neglect. The biggest one that I see is the food we feed our pets. Did you know that most of the food we feed our dogs (or we get from the store) is made of corn.
Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
