Kennel name order
I've seen dogs names done several ways such as:
1. Breeders Kennel name then owner's kennel name then dog's name.
2. Breeder's Kennel name then dog's name then "at" owner's kennel name.
Which of the 2 are correct?

Retained puppy canines
Do you have your vet remove retained puppy canines if the adult canines are coming in and the puppy canines show no signs of coming out? Specifically the lower canines. The presence of the puppy canines seems to be keeping the adult canines from proper placement.

stroke
I know this is a lab forum sight but I have a question is regards to a cat. Has any one had a cat that has had a stroke? If so do they ever bounce back? What should I expect if I don't put him down? This probably all started with a adverse reaction to a rabies vaccine.
