Thread: Question for Ethos

I consider it is up to the canine's owner to bring a moderation to so called "behavioural genetics"...if the dog guzzles water it is often indicative of a lack of constant supply, litter mate dominance...even the dog's place in the litter will bring about an innate competitional aspect in particular to food and drink...the less dominate the more anxious the dog will be about consumption or at least getting its fair share...once my puppies have been introduced to solid food, they are each given an individual bowl to eat from...thus allaying the competitive aspect...just as humans, the litter members will eat at different rates...if the dog is feed on dry foods he is more inclined to drink more water which is pretty well obvious...it can also indicate parasite burdens...
