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.

Does Your Dog Really Need a Dog Bed?
When Rover was started to show the signs of aging, we were all concerned about his comfort. It seemed to us that he would have a hard time getting up in the morning. His legs would shake and wobble and he would take about five minutes or just to get up and start walking, where when he was a younger puppy he could jump up in a matter of seconds. His hips were getting really thin and his muscle mass was decreasing, as happens with all dogs in old age. What we found was that we could help Rover by getting an orthopedic dog bed. The sad part of it all is, we probably could have helped him avoid this by getting it for him when he was much younger. Dogs can develop calluses and arthritis from laying on hard floors or even rocks in the ground. Naturally we did what we could to make him more comfortable during his last few days. That dog was strong as an ox in his time, and it was so hard to see him deteriorate like that. Now, all of our dogs have warm dog beds which help to keep them comfortable, warm, and most importantly, healthier.
