Why is my female dog always licking her junk?

My chiuaua/terrier mix dog, Bella, is obsessively cleaning her junk all the time. I am wondering if I need to take her to the vet.

kennal cough suggestions?

my 3 year old chizer (schnauzer/chihuahua mix) got kennal cough two days ago and hes coughing constantly how much would it cost for the vet to sell a prescription? do you have any home remedies for kennal cough? 10 points

What would you say her mix is (pictures included)?

I RESCUED a litter of puppies a week ago. The lady basically left the entire box full in my front yard when I told her I can only take 2 in. There were 7 puppies total.

She said that the mother was a pure bred Pug, and unsure of what the father was.

5 of them looked like Shih Tzu‘s (shaggy fur), and the one I decided to keep, and 1 other look like Chihuahua‘s.

I don’t see ANY Pug in my pup AT ALL.

What do you think?

Oh, she is TINY!!!!!.. fits in the palm of my hand.

How Can I Make This Dog a Part of The Family?

My husband and I live with his parents, we have 3 dogs of our own, my SIL has two dogs, a cocker spaniel mix, and a chihuahua who is just throwin in a garage. The reason they put him in the garage was because he was apparently very aggressive, he is wierd because he can be lovable one moment, and try and snap your hand the next. When my husband and I first moved in the dog was sleeping on a towel on the floor, I bought him a huge pillow because I figured he would love to get off the hard cold floor. He loves it, I wish I could bring him in so that he could have a normal life, as I said he is a chihuahua he is about 4 years old, he is probably considered bi polar, what can I do? I feel so bad for him.
It is not my chihuahua to give away, but i am looking to try and make him sociable. thank you for your answers. I am going to talk to my SIL about letting me have the dog so that I can bring him in and get him used to my husband and I

What breed of dog is right for me? ?

Hey everyone!

Guess what?!? I asked my mam if we could get a dog maybe next year and she said she would actually take it into consideration She has never ever said that before. We have had two dogs before. Cavalier King Charles/Jack Russell mix and a Cavalier King Charles pure bred.

Now our back garden is quite small and there’s no grass , but there is a medium sized open space filled with grass and a hill in front of the house we live in. It is used by many of dog owners in the estate. In my estate all of the houses are the same. Our garden is the smallest because we have an extra room. The dogs other people in our estate have are : Boxer;German Shepard; Alsatian; Rottweiler and a pug mix.

The thing about our house is that my mum is a child-minder. Which means she’s at home all the time but with 5 children under the age of 5. Also it would be great if the dog didn’t shed as much and was good with kids and animals. We have two hamsters

Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
