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
What To Do When Your Dog Has Food Allergies
Every dog is unique, which is why it's very difficult to determine what ingredients cause food-related allergies. The most common pet food ingredients include wheat, corn and soy. Various proteins have also been known to create their share of problems in certain dogs. I was very shocked to learn that some dogs are allergic to chicken, while I know from first-hand experience that my mothers Jack Russell Terrier Roxy used to be allergic to beef. Here's is something worth trying if your dog is continually itching and scratching. If excessive itching and scratching are the only problems, the cure could be as simple as a lack of Omega 3,6 and 9 fatty acids in your dog's daily diet that's making their skin and coat dry. Winter indoor heating may also be aggravating this condition. Adding simple food additives (supplements) to your dog's food may be the key without switching diets. Supplements like Mrs. Allen's Shed Stop, Flaxseed Oil, Pet Botanics Skin, and many others. If you think your dog does have a food allergy, take a look at the ingredients in his current food, visit your local pet supply store, and read the labels of other foods available. The first couple of ingredients are usually the major ones, so look for something different and try switching it up for a couple of weeks.
