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
Finding Dog-Friendly Rental HousingTo find rental housing that accepts dogs, you need to pull out at all the stops. Here are some tips that will help:* Tell family and friends that you are looking for dog-friendly housing. Ask them to keep their eyes open and to let you know if they hear of anything. * Mention your quest for housing to your veterinarian, groomer, and the staff at your pet supply store. Dog lovers are often friends with other dog lovers who may live in a dog-friendly building or own a dog-friendly unit. * When looking at newspaper and online rental housing advertisements, check out the ads that say dogs are welcome and also those that do not mention dogs, which often indicated that the landlord can be convinced to accept dogs. * Visit local real estate offices and ask about dog-friendly rentals and lease arrangements. Taking the extra step to introduce yourself may prompt a realtor to do a little extra digging for you. * Get in your car or on your bike and look for rental signs. Home owners who rent out back units or have other small properties do not always pay for advertising. These more casual landlords are often more willing to accept dogs. * Develop a resume for your dog to let prospective landlords know about his good behavior. Include letters of reference from previous landlords and your dog’s veterinarian and trainer. * Provide your potential landlord a copy of your dog’s Canine Good Citizenship certification from the American Kennel Club. * When visiting an open house, bring your dog along. Ask a friend to wait with him outside while you speak with the landlord. If your dog is well behaved, meeting a prospective landlord may just be the cincher.
