Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce 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
Guardian Breed MixesGuardian Breed MixesGuardian breed mixes have developed a poor reputation in recent years. Indiscriminate breeding and the intentional breeding of aggressive dogs to large mastiff mixes have led to concern about their dangerous potential and even legislation of so-called dangerous breed bands. Unfortunately, the ban allowed many wonderful guardian mixes to languish in rescues and shelters. Rottweiler mixes are some of the most common dogs found in shelters and many make wonderful companions. There are also many mastiffs, Saint Bernard, Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, and Newfoundland mixes that are gentle giants and truly round out an active family. The guardian mixes do require extensive socialization and training with people and animals. Their large size is also an issue when it comes to space and economics. Big dogs require room and cost more than smaller dogs for grooming, boarding, food and veterinary expenses. Guardian dogs and their mixes are large dominant dogs; keep this in mind when considering adopting one. Work with your shelter or rescue to determine if you have the right lifestyle for a dog like this. Share this article on Guardian Breed Mixes with friends.
