The Aryan Molossus
Once a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector
Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration.
The Armant
The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give
To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special.
The Atlas Terrier
The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy
At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days.
Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie
It Is Impossible Not to Love Them
Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet.

2800 Acres Former Military Reservation. Dogs are allowed off leash, except in the parking lots/reception areas. This is a former military ammunition base. There is approx. 12 miles of paved trails, as well as wooded trails. Tips: It is very easy to get lost and loose your sense of direction, the trails are poorly marked, and almost maze like in nature. You will come across abandoned military buildings which are pretty cool. There are lots of streams. Get a trail map at the reception center before you set out (the online one is poor) there are some trail markers every so often so the trail map will give you a general idea of where you are. Location: Union Street/ off Free Street. Directions: Exit 14 (Route 228) off Route 3 (North or South). Follow 228 @ 3.4 miles North towards Hingham to a right onto Free Street. Follow Free Street about 1 mile to the park entrance on the right.
