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

Traveling by Car with your dog

Traveling by car is probably the easiest way to go when you decide to take your dog along. It’s flexible and private, you get to decide where you want your pup to sleep and how you want to accommodate him. Another benefit is that once you reach your destination, you won’t need to worry about in-town transportation. Depending on the city, the laws for dogs on buses and in taxis differ; some restrict dogs to certain times of day or do not allow them at all.

Use a crate or a doggy seat belt whenever you are transporting your dog by car. There are plenty of comfortable and convenient belts now on the market. Crates require your pup to be separated from you during the trip but allows your dog a cozy, safe space of his own. The crate can also be used when you reach your destination so your dog can be left alone in a hotel room. If you have tight quarters in your car, a doggy seat belt is probably the best way to go.

When stopping at rest stops avoid small pet potty areas where there is fresh excrement. Dog feces carry a lot of diseases and these areas can be dangerous to your dog, especially if he young, elderly, or immuno-compromised in some way. Do be sure to clean up after your dog and carry plastic bags with you for this purpose.

And remember, never leave your dog alone in a hot car, even for a minute. The temperature inside a car can increase rapidly and dogs can quickly overheat, leading to heat stroke or even death. Short-nosed dogs such as pugs and bulldogs are at special risk when left in cars, but all dogs can become victims.
