I have a Bulldog brand 10" bandsaw. I recently replaced the blade (old one broke). The new blade ran okay for awhile, but now comes off of the pulleys/wheels after just a few seconds of operation. I don’t have a manual, and can’t find one online. If you know how to adjust the blade tracking, or whatever it takes to fix this, I’d greatly appreciate it.
If you don’t know this specific bandsaw, do you know a book or website that you can recommend for generic bandsaw information that might guide me in the right direction so I can fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
if you just replaced the blade and everything was working fine before,, then all you need to do is tighten the tensioner knob. since you don’t have a book,, find the place were a lot of blade is free,, tighten the knob until you have about 1/4 play,, look on and behind the saw and see if you don’t have a dial indicator!! this tells you the different settings for different baldes!!! try wood magazine.com and look in the section for cleaning and maintaining tools,, also Delta tools has a good section and a great CD that shows how to maintain all their tools.. If you like I could try and copy it and send it to you,,email me,, cen41962@centurytel.net

They were born June 24th. We arent giving them away just yet, they are eating regular food and everything, well we put water in it and they seem to be doing fine, but I was just wondering, what can I do to be sure they are going to a good home? I love all of them soooo much, I wish I could keep them all lol. and YES my dog is going to be fixed soon so please dont say anything about that its getting pretty old. We are already planning on charging 10 dollars because we hand fed them and it was REALLY expensive, considering she had 9 puppies, but we are sending a bad of purina puppy chow with each one of them also, just to get them started. What else can we do?
I’m having the same trouble with my kittens. I would just ask questions .. ask .. ask .. ask.
Questions to ask:
1. Do you have a house/apt/ or condo?
2. Do you have a fenced in back yard?
3. Do you have any small children?
4. Have you owned dogs before?
5. Do you currently have any dogs?
And remember .. this all depends on what kind of puppies they are. If they are good apartment dogs then no worries if the people live in an apartment. But i wouldn’t worry too much. Just make sure they look like good people who will take care of your pup.
If the people live somewhere where they can’t have animals, and they say they ARE aloud .. honestly, theres no way around that unless you are part of an animal shelter or animal rescue program .. you do not have the right to call the apt. complex where they live and ask.
But if its an aggressive dog MAKE SURE you let them know not to have it around small children .. things like that. If you don’t know too much about the breed then google your dog .. get some info about her breed .. that will help a lot.
www.dogbreedinfo.com
If you have anymore questions, just email me.
When my fiance and i got our australian shepherd the lady said she wouldn’t let him go to anyone living in an apartment .. well, we knew in about a year we would be moving out of our apt. into a house so we just lied. We really liked him and we have seen NUMEROUS people around our complex with bigger dogs then this.
So i honestly wouldn’t be too picky. I would get them into the vet for their first shots and everything. I wouldn’t of purchased my pup if he hadn’t.
If they look like they are good people, loves dogs and show that they really like the animal .. let it go 
Good luck

they person who gave me the puppy said what the dog was allergic to in the dog food but now doesnt remember what the vet said it was. i was like B something. some kind of number after the B. i need to find out either what it is that it is they dog food of what its called or what type of foods do they have that are already made without it.
Beet? Feed raw, then you won’t need to worry about allergies. Commercial kibbles are mixed with a lot of stuff that dogs don’t need (like rice, oatmeal, barley, wheat, corn, etc.)

I am looking to buy a dog but cant seem to chose one. I am wanting everyones opinion on what kind of dog do they think will be the best for my family. I have two children. Ages 5 and 2. I own my own home and have a big back yard although its not fenced. I am also a stay at home mother so the dog will get plenty attention. What will be the best dog for my family? Small dog or Big. I dont care, as long as it will be a great dog.
I think you should do some research , if you have children i think a Lab would be good but they will have to be train when they are very young because like all puppies they will need training , also golden retrievers, boxers are great it has to be I think a girl if you planning to keep inside is a lot easier to train and also make sure you fix her. I had many dogs in my life ar the moment i have 3. Good luck.

I just got a baby girl chihuahua and i already have a small cat. The chihuahua is a lot smaller then the cat. How do I introduce the two so they can become friends?
My Chi’s grew up with 2 adult male cats. JUst let them meet and keep an eye on them for a while. You’ll know if there’s an issue. It’ll depend on the cat. They’ll probably end up playing together within the hour. They’ll either ignore each other or they’ll follow each other around and sleep together sometimes and play together.

I will be able to get a dog, if it lives primarily outside. I just need a way of keeping him in the yard. I don’t think I will be able to get a fence. I would rather not get an electric dog fence. If that is my only choice I would consider it, but I don’t like it at all.
Tying the dog with a rope. I would worry that he would get caught up in it and hurt himself. I really don’t know how much awarness they have of them. But, this would probably be the one I go for if we can’t get a fence.
Would there be a way to train the dog to stay in the yard?
Do you have any ideas to share on what I could do?
If you are worried that the dog will be bored, I have a LOT of time to spend. I am very much a dog person. If I could I would let the dog in the house in no time.
Thanks!
I forgot to mention that the dog will be sleeping in the house at night. The dog will also be able to come inside on bad weather days to play inside and to eat. I am outside a lot be with the dog so he won’t be bored or isolated.
An invisible fence is a couple hundred max and very effective. Also I would recommend teaching the dog to stay at a finger point command with no verbal to stay until called. I like teaching my dogs this, especially insiders to restrict them from entering the living room with company present.

I just got a English Bulldog puppy and I don’t know how to raise it ? I have gone to quite a lot of websites about it and each one says something different? The puppy is only 3 months old, weights 20 lbs. and lives inside of the house.
Go with the advice given by the puppy’s breeder, as they know their line of dogs better than anyone, and if you trusted them enough to buy a pup, you’ll probably trust them enough to follow their advice.
If you bought the dog from another source, than unfortunately you won’t have access to such a valuable resource. Having a breeder as a friend and adviser is the best way to go, especially for a first time dog owner. However, if you look in your area, you may be able to find a bulldog breeder who will be able to advise you of what you need to know.
From the information you have given me, my only piece of advice is this: don’t let your puppy get overweight. At 3 months, they are still really growing and it is not good to put extra weight on a developing body. If you are unsure to tell if your puppy is too fat, have your vet fill you in.
Best of Luck!

my chihuahua dog is 8 months is this to young?
Dogs don’t get periods. She is ready to breed. You need to keep a careful watch on your dog because male dogs will be coming for her. If you don’t know enough about your dog to know about its reproductive cycle please don’t consider breeding her. You may love your dog, but responsible breeders know a lot about dogs, their breeding cycle and the dangeres involved with breeding their dogs. chihuahuas are a high risk dog and often require c-sections. Get her nutered right away.

Hi everyone, my chihuahua is slightly past 1 year old and starts growling at kids and tries to lunge at them when he sees them on the streets. Is there a way to stop this behavior and what causes this behavior?
Thanks for taking time to read this!
Yes, this can be fixed, though it sounds like typical chihuahua!
Chihuahuas know they are small, but they are not wimps. So they make it their policy to intimidate anybody larger. A lot of small dogs do this. It’s pretty effective to keep from being bullied.
First you need the dog to obey you. Your dog should be able to obey "sit," "stay," "heel," and "down." If you can’t teach these behaviors on your own, invest in an obedience class. A lot of chihuahua owners are scared to discipline such a tiny dog, and end up with Dogzilla. Sure they aren’t as dangerous as an aggressive Doberman, but still…..
So when you take the dog for a walk and it starts to threaten children, make it sit. Insist upon this. Your dog may be stubborn, but you have to enforce your will. Tell your dog how good he is for sitting. Whenever he doesn’t threaten children, tell him how great he is! Take him to watch children at the park. Tell him how cute the kids are and how good he is for being a good dog. When he’s being nonaggressive with children, give him treats. If he growls, barks, or lunges, make him sit immediately.
Now if you know any children that could help, that would be good. Take the dog outside and off your property at first, and let him get used to the children. Have them talk to him. When he’s ready, let them give him treats or pet him. When he finds out that children can give him treats, this will help his attitude a lot. Tell him how nice the kids are and how good he is. Also, if he likes toys, let a child play with the toy briefly, and then give it to the dog. You might have a certain toy the dog can have only when a child is around.
Carry some treats with you when you go for a walk. Then if you think the dog is ready, you can let children give him treats or pet him.
Basically this is the idea. Teach him that he loses freedom when he threatens kids, but he wins praise and treats when he doesn’t. In fact, he gets more treats and fun when children are around.
Of course you have to be careful around children. Your dog is right in thinking that a child could hurt him even by accident, being so big; so make sure that doesn’t happen.

I love dogs and I have been doing a lot of research on them for the past few months. I have looked after a dog for a few days as well and I am sure that I know the type of things they need. I really want one for myself, as a pet and I am sure that I will be able to look after it but I have a small problem. I have asthma and even though I am not allergic to all dogs (thankfully) there are some dogs that are not as helpful to me as others. I just wondered what would be the best type of dog for asthmatics. Everyone that I ask says poodles but I don’t like them because I found out that they shed a lot of hair. I want a small, short haired dog that is friendly to children and will be happy living in a family environment. If possible, they should be good with other dogs too and not so much money spent on grooming. I am happy taking it out to walks every day. If you have any sugestions, please tell me. It would be really apperciated.
Not all Labradoodles don’t cast! Like all cross breeds they come in different shapes and forms and have different traits! Some may not shed but others do that’s why it’s best to stick with a pedigree. Why not spend some time going around the dog shows, there are lots just now, try and get to a Championship show and talk to the owners and breeders. Most people at shows are more than happy to talk about there breed but don’t try to talk to them while they are being judged or watching there breed being judged, they may not give you their full attention. Go along to the benches preferably before judging starts and chat to as many different people as you can.
Take your time and you’ll have a great time with your chosen breed.
