Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Afghan Hound Elegance and DistinctionIf the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show. The Aidi Dog A Perfect Watchdog Of Moroccan origin, the Aidi dog evolved as a watchdog for herds of goats and sheep. For this reason, it has heightened senses that are very good at detecting threats and its instincts are perfectly in tune, resulting in a speedy and efficient reaction. These characteristics are also perfect for a hunting dog - so it is also very good at filling that role. Very courageous, this breed has evolved in the Morrocan mountains, protecting itself and its owners from many vicious predators like wildcats, but also from strangers. Also called the Berber (it was commonly used by Berber tribes), this breed is very similar to Pariah dogs - to which it is believed to be related. Affenpinscher Dogs Cute Fluffy and Funny When first taking a look at an Affenpinscher dog, most people cannot help but smile: its cute, fluffy, hairy appearance and the constant smile it seems to be wearing will cheer up just about anybody. Also known as the monkey dog, it is very suited for someone who has a sense of humor and for whom the entertainment factor is very important when buying a pet. Most of the time, the Affie (as some will affectionately call him) is in a very good mood and more than willing to put on a show to entertain his masters. The Amitola Bulldog What is an Amitola Bulldog? It is a new, captivating and beautiful breed of bulldog. It is not a recreation of any past type of bulldog, but it is a new, revamped version. The ideal companion, this dog will always be calm and ready to play, with no aggression towards people or other animals. So, if you need a loyal friend or a companion to make you smile and feel happy, this dog would be a perfect match. It is all about color! The origin of the name Amitola is to be found in Native American cultures. It means „rainbow”.

Animal Shelters Daily Pet Tips & Info...The Afghan Hound Elegance and DistinctionIf the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show.The Afghan hound's characteristics As the name of the breed suggests, this type of dog evolved in the mountains of Afghanistan where it spent its time hunting gazelles and hares. Centuries later, though, it has changed considerably when its impressive looks influenced people into taking him into their homes. Quite tall - reaching even 30 inches in height - and weighing up to about 60 pounds, the hound will leave an impression on anyone who sees it - and the chances of forgetting an encounter with such a dog are very slim. Probably the most impressive thing about the Afghan hound is its coat - long, thick but silky to the touch. Do not buy such a dog if you are not prepared to invest lots of hours or lots of money into grooming its coat. Other physical characteristics include a long topknot, high hipbones and a small ring at the tail's end. They can be of many colors: gold, white, cream, red or even shades of blue. If pedigree is important to you, pay attention to its colors: multicolored Afghan Hounds are most likely of impure breeding. Typically, the hound is very dignified and aloof in attitude, matching its aristocratic looks with a similar personality. However, when playing, he can become very clownish and very fun to be around. If you have other dogs or pets, you may want to think twice before buying an Afghan hound: it has a hard time getting along with small animals. On the other hand, if you are a big fan of showing off your dog, this breed will be perfect for you: they are highly intelligent and very intuitive and will quickly learn any tricks you would like to teach them. This is one of the reasons why this breed constantly appears in dog agility contests. It is also highly suited to be a therapeutic companion. If you take good care of it, the hound can live up to 18 years and will be a constant and loyal companion during all that time. In short... The hound is a perfect match for anyone looking for an intelligent and dignified dog to keep them company. It may not always be the most social breed you could get your hands on, but it can be fun when gotten in a playful mood and will always be a source of pride. The Afghan hound is also highly suited to masters who like dedicating a lot of time to take care of their dogs: they definitely need plenty of that.
