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.


Pet Tips

Dog toys

Most people do not know that dog toys are actually good for your dog, and not just an indulgence on the part of the owner?
There are countless kinds of uses for all of the different types of toys. First, as puppies, toys will give your dog a nice distraction from other would-be toys like your leather chair or your favorite pair of expensive shoes. All of my dogs love ropes. Every single one of them would play with them until they were tiny pieces of threads. Ropes serve a few purposes, in addition to keeping your dog from chewing your house up like a termite.

First, it's a great bonding tool for you and your dog if you engage in a good game of tug-of-war. It will also help your dog exercise. My dog Daisy is one big ball of muscles. When we play with the rope, she will use her entire body to try to get it away from me and you can see all of her muscles flexing. She's a Yellow Lab and has the most beautiful, sleek coat. In addition to great exercise rope dog toys also help keep their teeth clean. Who wants to have a dog with teeth problems? Like people, dogs are often comforted by familiarity so dog toys that they know and love serve as great travel companions. They help give your dog a that extra comfort when you're away from home or take a vacation with your dog.

Here are some great tips to consider when buying toys for your dog:

Make sure the toys you purchase do not have small, choking parts. Dogs are like babies, they put anything in their mouth and can choke.

Don't get realistic looking toys like, say, shoes or food. You don't want them to associate your shoes with toys or that hot dog sitting on the counter.

Don't go overboard and buy too many toys. Rotate the toys they already have. We do this with our kids too and it works great. It's like getting new toys all over again.
