Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce 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. |

Pet Tips
Does Your Dog ThinkHave you ever wonder what your dog thinks about all day long? or maybe even how he thinks?Maybe his thoughts are like a Polaroid –separate, and still pictures Maybe they are pictures of important events both positive and negative. What we do know is that your dog isn't as good as you are at linking the pictures together in cause and effect. The main reason fir this is that he is not human. He's a different species. Dogs often focus on the wrong variable in a sequence of events. Here's an example. I have trained dogs for a living for quite some time and during a meeting of trainers last year a co-trainer told a story of a dog who responded to commands wonderfully, better than any dog she had ever worked with one week yet would cower in fear the very next week. Why? What was going through little spots' mind? One of the other trainers had an idea. Let's spend some time with the person training the dog. Was everything the same week to week? Well no, not exactly. When Spot trained well, the trainer was wearing white tennis shoes. The next week when Spot was afraid, the trainer was wearing different shoes they were black. A little investigation of Spot found he was a rescue dog who was regularly beaten by his former owner with a newspaper. And what did Spot take a picture of while he was being beaten? The owners BLACK SHOES. You want to train Spot? It's easy, use good techniques and remember not to wear Black Shoes. Being a dog and not a human poor little Spot didn't realize that what he should have been afraid of was his ignorant owner with the newspaper and not the shoes he was wearing at the time. But for Spot the White shoes were right in front of his face and that's what he took a picture of. If you want to train a dog or change his behavior you first have to know a little bit about how his mind works. Please take some time to understand these wonderful creatures.
