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.

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.

Pet Tips
Herding dogsHerding dogs include breeds such as Border collies, corgis, Australian cattle dogs and Australian shepherds. Herding dogs are highly intelligent and highly active. They have a quick mind and endless endurance. Herding dogs are brave and maybe even a little foolhardy because they often herd animals much larger and stronger than they are.Herding dogs are adventure seekers and will find their own entertainment if you don’t provide it. They need activity, they will not be happy in a home where television is the central activity. Some of these dogs will accept nothing less than a 3-mile run and an hour of aerobic play each day. If you want to get involved in a sport such as herding, agility, or Flyball, a herding dog may be the perfect match for you. There is nothing they love more than hours of fun and exercise with their favorite person. On the downside, all this energy and intelligence can lead to a truly out of control dog if not properly trained. Herding dogs are very loyal. They often pick one person as their own. If you are adopting only one dog for a family of four, be prepared that a herding dog will most likely choose one person to bond with and that won’t always be the person intended.
