Dogs and Puppies

scott l asked:


I am going to get a a dog from the local animal shelter but do not want one that has ears which stand straight up. Id prefer the dog to have floppy ears. My last dog had floppy ears when i got her at 8 weeks but they eventually stood up. Do not be offended if your dog has standing ears–i just want to make sure my new dog looks different than my last (the greatest dog who ever lived). the problem is the pound doesnt know what type of mix the dogs are. Most of the time they guess as best they can. How can i tell if the ears are likely to stand when i dont know the breeds involved?

I Love Labrador Retrievers asked:


I have a black labrador puppy and she’s afraid of other dogs. I got her from the animal shelter about a few months ago. Everytime I take her to the vet and she sees the other dogs she runs on the chairs barking and hollering. If she sees another dog out while Im walking her barks and runs behind me for saftey. Tomorrow, Im adopting another dog from the shelter and I see this might be a problem for my puppy. How can I get her to not be afraid?
