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.

Dog and Puppy proofing Checklist

Use this checklist when dog or puppy proofing you home:

* Remove poisonous plants in the house and yard or keep them safely our of reach.
* Install childproof locks on doors where cleaning supplies, pesticides and other chemicals are kept. Store all toxins up high, where your dog can’t reach them.
* Invest in indoor and outdoor trash cans with secure lids or keep trash where your dog can’t get into it.
* Pick up small objects that could be choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages, including loose change, paperclips, rubber bands, and dental floss.
* Cover electrical cords with rugs or plastic cord guards or tape them to baseboards to keep dogs from chewing them. Use outlet plugs on open outlets.
* Secure or move lamps, statues, and other breakable objects placed on unstable tables or bases. A frisky dog could easily knock these items over.
* Make sure screens are secure on low windows. Install springs on screen doors and gates so that they can’t be left open.
* Use tall baby gates to block stairs and access to other areas you don’t want your dog to venture.
* In the yard, fix fence holes and gaps; remove chocking hazards, dangerous plants, and other toxic substances.
* Fence or cover hot tubs, swimming pools, deep fountains, and ponds.
* Clean driveway and garage floors to remove any antifreeze or other car drippings.
