feist hunting dog?
Q. I am currently looking for a feist hunting dog and would like to check all of my options before buying one. I would like to know what colors they come in and if there are any breeders in Ohio. I am also basing my options on money. I don't want to spend more than 200 dollars on a dog. Thank you!

What kind of dog is a feist?
Q. What are they mixed with? I have one, and I'm very curious on what he is.
Asked by confuzzledrainbow:) - Wed Aug 5 19:56:42 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They are not mixed with anything 'recently'. They are better known as Rat Terriers. Here is what the UKC registry has to say about them> The Rat Terrier is an American breed descended from the terriers brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants. These terriers probably included crosses between the Smooth Fox Terrier, the Manchester Terrier and the now extinct white English Terrier. These dogs were used as ratters, and gambling on their prowess in killing rats was a favorite hobby of their owners. Some of these dogs were crossed with Whippets or Italian Greyhounds (for speed) and Beagles (for hunting ability). Eventually, these tough little terriers evolved into today s Rat Terrier.

Question concerning my roommate and his dog?
Q. My roommate has a tiny little Chihuahua/Feist mix dog, just so you all can get a visual. Well, the roommate doesn't have own a car but he has a motorcycle. When he leaves and wants to take his dog with him, he usually has to wait for his girlfriend to get off work so he can borrow her car. Well, anyway, today he said he was tired of doing that and was thinking about turning his tank bag on his bike into a thing he can put his dog in. I was kinda shocked, I can only assume the loud exhaust would be horrible for the dogs ears. He has the exhaust tweaked so it's really really (obnoxiously) loud. He wants to do it today so he can make a 2 hour trip back to his parents house. This IS bad for the dogs ears correct? I mean, the dog is petrified… [cont.]

A. A dog's hearing is MUCH more acute than ours. So if it's already obnoxiously loud to you, think of how bad it'll hurt that poor dog's ears! You were spot on. I would not let him for the life of me take that dog with him. Not to mention that the dog is a small dog, not even a larger one that -maybe- could withstand that noise. But for goodness sakes if the vacuum makes the dog run and hide and almost wet itself what makes him think it'll withstand the sound of a motorcycle??? This is just way too dangerous. Threaten if he does take the dog with him you'll call local animal control. Sure, it might get on his bad side, but this is something serious. This dog could go deaf because of this. I hope you find a way to stop him! PS. I'm glad… [cont.]

Introducing a kitten to a dog?
Q. We're getting a 6-7week old kitten in a couple of weeks, and I want to be prepared. Dog-5 yr-old Terrier(feist).Very calm. Hunts squirrels, though. I am kind of worried that she may try to attack the kitten, thinking it's a squirrel. So, how do I need to introduce them?

How come my dog takes food away from her bowl?
Q. My dog will take food in her mouth,like a hampster,and go drop it in "hiding places"? She is a terrier(feist),female,14 lbs,and has had puppies. She IS spayed.

A. It doesn't really matter what breed they are when they do this. my mini poodle does this. It's just natural instinct. See, when dogs were wild, they used to bury their extra food so no other animal could get to it, and so they wouldn't starve. I guess this is just an instinct that wasn't dropped when dogs became domesticated!

A. AKC doesn't just search the globe and add every breed in the world to their registry. It's a process. First, a reliable breed club/fancier club must apply for acceptance. Then they have to write a standard, start a stud book, and maintain records and pedigrees of the breeding program and breed standards for many, many generations. Eventually, the breed will be accepted into the miscellaneous class, and eventually be assigned into one of the 7 groups. It can take a very long time, plenty of old breeds are not recognized yet by the AKC simply because the effort has not been made, or there is not a solid breed standard yet, or whatever else.

I would keep my dogs in the front yard away from their out door dogs. You will have to spray for fleas in your house or get a fogger. If the dogs have them the beds and carpets do too. I have an Akita that had the same problem. We controlled the fleas ...the problem went away. Turns out she was actually allergic to the fleas ! Good Luck..

Shes still playful and is eating and drinking as normal and isnt swollen or acting as if shes in pain. ive heard of these kind of things happening to dogs that are fixed so i was worried it might be that but she has been spayed more than 2 months ago.. could it be that?

A. By potty do you mean pee or poo? If she hadn't peed I'd be worried. If she hasn't pooed maybe she's constipated give her some banana I found the fibre worked well for my dog and she loves bananas as a treat. Exercise can help with getting their bowels moving so maybe you could try taking her on a long walk she'll hopefully go to the toilet then. If she's eating and drinking it has to go somewhere. I don't know what the best thing to do would be if she's been scared in your garden when fireworks went off. If she has a favourite toy or something try using that. A toy can sometimes work as a better incentive than treats. Sorry I can't offer more advice. Hope you get everything sorted!

If there's a dog park nearby, take her there and let her play with other dogs. Play fetch or throw a Frisbee for her.

Collie/Mountain Feist mix puppy information?

I am thinking about adopting a puppy which is a mix of a collie and a hound, but I don't know what to expect in the way of size, coat, temperment, smell, etc. I heard that many hounds don't have the "doggy smell", but I don't know about collies. Also, how big do you think the dog will get? I know that this certainly depends on the dog...but any insight would be good.

A. El Gran Mastin de Borinquen, also known as the Puerto Rican Mastiff, Mastin Borincano, Becerillo de Borinquen and Perro Barsino de Hacienda, is the only breed native to the island of Puerto Rico. The Borinquen Mastiff is a blend of Spanish War Mastiffs, traditional island dogs (Perros Jibaros) and Latin American Molossers, all brought to the island for protection from colonial times until the early 20th century.

I am a house wife, so I get too stay home with my Bo Jingles, he is 8 mos, black lab, who is lucky, since we have had him, he won the battle of mange, and being put down by his first owner. If you want to spend money there are dog training places, the one I use is quite cheap, I use the library for any information on training dogs. Feeding should be 3 times a day for a puppy, how much depends on how big the puppy's is. good luck.

Treeing Feist Puppies Die?
Q. My husband's grandfather has had a terrible time raising Treeing Feist pups. They die before they're 3 months old. We recently aquired one from him and she died overnight. She had acted perfectly well the night before I put her up and the next morning she was dead. Her body showed no cause, nor did she exhibit any other signs or symptoms. Only one of the six puppies has survived so far, and the survivor may still die. Does anyone know of anyone who has trouble with this breed/variety of dog? Or do they have any idea what the cause for the deaths would be. It is NOT parvo. The parents are not related. There are two sires and four females, all of which are healthy and well cared for. They are mostly hunting dogs. They are not a common breed, [cont.]

A. I do know that if the grandfather keeps breeding dogs who cannot survive past 3 months of age, it's time for him to give up breeding. This is not right. If he isn't taking them to the vet to find out what the problem is, then he shouldn't be even thinking about producing another litter of puppies who are going to die. That makes no sense at all, and it's irresponsible.

What Breed is Compatible With a Feist?
Q. I have a 4/1/2 month old Feist Terrier that is way hyper we let her out, take her for walks, play with her every two hours but I think she needs a role Model meaning another dog she can follow behind to learn what she is suppose to do(As far as the dogs world is concerned) and to have a proper playmate that can bite her back. The puppy is not bad and we have her trained. I don't need training advice she is trained.

A. The dog doesn't need a role model playmate. It needs proper training and exercise. And if you can't provide that for this one, what makes you think you can provide it for two dogs? Getting another dog is not the solution to the "my puppy is out of control" problem. In fact, it's not even a rational thought. Contact a dog trainer and get the dog trained. You're saying you think the dog needs a role model, and then saying the dog is trained? If it's trained, why does it need a role model? The puppy needs more exercise and mental stimulation. Ie ... more training.

my 10 year old feist had surgery?
Q. my feist, alunn, had surgery to remove a faty tumor on his head a year ago. befor the surgery, he did not eat much, now 1 year later, he can't get enough food. when I feed him,I give him dry kibble mixed with wet food. He eats it all but then turns right around and looks for more, I try not to give him too much because he is 5 lbs overweight. the vet wants him to lose 5lbs. he should weigh 14 but he weighs 19 lbs. I give him enough to fill him up, but he acts like he hasen't been fed in days. I feed him everyday. he is always hungry, always wanting something to eat, he has never ate like this before the surgery. could it be the tumor making him think that he is hungry even though he has just been fed a bowl of wet, dry dog food? the tumor… [cont.]

When people who see my dog and like her ask me about her and what she is I don't know what to say....help?
Q. First of all we think she is a Treeing Feist mix or a Jack Russell/Basenji mix 3 times today people saw my dog and asked about her...one woman was looking for a small dog for her son and was asking what she was? I honestly didn't know what to say. So I went with what the shelter originally thought. I said Jack Russell mix...(Well shelter had her down as a jack Russell/Chihuahua but she is way too big) She is 25 pounds...pretty calm for the most part but she does have a lot of energy at times and needs plenty of exercise. she sheds year round. She is smart and learns quickly She is slightly longer than she is tall. I just never know what to say...what would you say? Here is her picture: the thing is these people are… [cont.]

Aggressive dog question?
Q. I have a Feist Terrier (aka Rat Terrier) that has never acted in aggression towards a human in his life. However, he attacks any other dog (and only dogs) he sees. It is not only in our yard, but in any place what so-ever. I thought it was fear biting, but he goes directly for the face as soon as he can get to the other dog. I unexpectedly got another dog in the house, so I more than ever need to correct this now. What type of aggression would this be, and how to correct it? i am planning to get him neutered after he is off of his heartworm killing treatment, which is probably after this month. I was also thinking about the gate method, I'll try that, if that and the walk don't work I'll probably contact a trainer.

A. Without seeing the behaviour it is difficult to say, however with what you have written I would say yes it is fear biting...attacking before it is attacked...so unsocialised and needs lots more training...an anxious, fearful dog who is dog aggressive. Direct eye contact is aggressive in dog language, as is walking directly towards them, so you need to teach good manners, 'meet and greet' (turning your dogs head away and allowing the other dog to sniff and visa versa then walking away before anything gets out of hand) over and over again with lots of different neutral, balanced dogs under guidance possibly within classes.

What causes this Dog behavior? please help!?
Q. OK first he is a pretty much a well behaved dog except for a few things that have become really annoying! Let me explain first that these behaviors have started since I've been pregnant. What he does is really weird and I don't get it! The number one thing he is doing is acting almost scared of me and I have never hurt him! He won't come to me and if I try to hold him he shakes. Now on the other hand if I play with the cats he get jealous and will actually push them off me and begin to bully them. He never hurts them its more like very ruff play! I have tried being really sweet and he just looks at me like I'm evil incarnate! I have even tried treats which have worked a little but not enough! He is closest to my husband and only notices me… [cont.]

A. I can tell you that rat terriers and similar breeds (I don't know much about Feists in particular) are often 'one-person' dogs, meaning that they form close attachments to one person, in this case your husband, and aren't interested in anyone else. Sometimes this disinterest can progress to either fear or aggression towards other people when they try to initiate contact with the dog. This may explain some of the fear that he shows toward you. It may be that the pregnancy is affecting the dog. Dogs are very sensitive to different scents, and believe it or not, you are exuding all sorts of different hormones that he can sense. You may also be acting differently even though you don't realize it. Try to remain as calm as possible around… [cont.]
