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
Finding the right dogYou’ve researched, thought long and hard about it and now you know what kind of dog is right for you. Now, you’ve got to decide where to get him? Choosing where to obtain a dog is another very important decision you have to make. If you stick to a few simple rules, you can make sure that your dog comes from a reliable and ethical source.1. Buy or adopt a dog only from an ethical breeder, established rescue group, or accredited shelter. Research your options. 2. Do not buy a dog from a backyard breeder or puppy mill. 3. Never buy a dog who appears ill. If you are concerned about a dog’s welfare, contact the local animal control office. 4. Research your adoption options before you begin looking. It’s hard to say no when your heartstrings are being pulled. 5. Bring a checklist with you-a list of things to look for at the facility or breeder’s home, and a list of questions to ask the shelter staff or breeder. Consider what is important to you about buying or adopting a dog before deciding avenue is right. At a shelter you will save a life, but you probably won’t have the comfort of knowing your pup’s background. With a purebred rescue organization, you may be able to get more information about a dog than at a shelter. You will bet the most information about a dog from a breeder, but buying from a reputable breeder can be expensive. A good breeder, rescue group or shelter will provide you with a friend for life, regardless of his pedigree. None are perfect but all provide support and honest information. Regardless, of which you make, being prepared and knowing what to look for will make for a far more satisfying adoption or buying experience for both you and the dog you bring home.
