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. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after.

Pet Tips
Obedience TrialsObedience training can be the tricks and commands you teach your dog in your home. Obedience trials are a popular sport with dogs competing on the regional and national levels. Obedience training is the building block for all other dog activities and sports. It requires a symbiotic relationship between dog and handler and tests how well the dog understands and responds to the handler’s commands. The backbone of obedience training are the basic commands: come, sit, down, stay, and heel. The training continues with long down, long sit, heel on and off leash, figure eight and more.Obedience trials are an organized sport in the U.S. They are overseen by the AKC, UKC and the American Mixes Breed Obedience Registration. The AKC and UKC both offer obedience titles, but dogs must be purebred to participate in obedience trials sponsored by either club. Dogs are judged on their ability to follow commands and their skill in scent discrimination and directed jumping. The derivative of obedience trials are rally obedience. It is designed to shake up obedience a bit, using a more relaxed judging style and changing obedience courses. It is currently overseen by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), which allows dogs of any breed or breed mix to participate. The AKC also offers rally obedience trials.
