Ainu The Perfect Guardian dog
The Ainu dog, also called Hokkaido dog, is named after the Japanese prefecture where it arrived 3000 years ago, when the Ainu tribe from the Tohoken region brought it along.
With its straight forelegs, powerful neck, prominent chest and solid back, the dog is thin, muscular and fast - an important feature for those who would like to adopt such a breed. Due to its outdoorsy and inquisitive nature, it needs long daily walks and regular exercise to stay in shape. That is why this breed is unsuitable for living inside an apartment. Intelligent, watchful, eager to learn and very easy to train, the breed is suitable for hunting, but it also
Choose the Airedale Terrier as a Pet and Say Good-Bye to Boredom
“The King of the Terriers”, the Airedale terrier comes from Airedale, Yorkshire, England, and it is the largest of the terrier breeds. It comes from crossing the old and vanished breeds of the Black-and-Tan terrier with the Otterhound. It is also said that they have the Manchester terrier in their blood. They were initially bred to hunt otters (reason for which they are also called the Waterside Terrier) and hares in the valley of the Aire river - that also gave its name to the breed - and to herd sheep, being both shepherd and hunting dogs.
The Africanis Dog From the South African Plains to Your Home
Dog breeders do not officially recognize Africanis as a breed. Also known as the Bantu Dog or the Zulu Dog, the breed developed in South Africa and it is basically comprised of similar breeds that are originally from the area. However, dog historians have acquired enough evidence to conclude that, originally, the breed lived in the East and Middle East and migrated to Africa in ancient times. The Zulu Dog is a perfect companion for people, whether we are talking about more traditional activities like hunting or herding, or simply about the pleasure of having a dog companion.
The Afghan Hound Elegance and Distinction
If the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show.

Pet Tips
Proper Dog Care
Accepting responsibility for your new pet is a very serious matter. Caring for your new best friend is always rewarding and should leave you feeling good inside. We all need love and care and our pet friends aren't any different. Teaching our pets tricks, buying them toys, supplies, collars, crates, clothes is all part of loving your new pet and providing him with proper care.
We've learned a lot about health problems and symptoms in dogs, the how to's of medication, proper dog nutrition and keeping him physically healthy. Along with that we've also gotten a tooth brush for dental care. A new pet is similar to bringing up a little child. Isn't that what puppies are? Just little doggy kids as well?
You'll want to investigate in training collars and crates to help you with training issues and you'll find plenty of help on line, in your local book store, or even your local pet supply store. Tips and tricks to help us are easily available and as close as the click of the mouse.
Don't forget to check out medical insurance for your new pet. Health care cost for pets is soaring almost daily, much like health care for humans. We have heard way too many stories of pets that were taken to the vets and terminated because the cost of medical care and attention was beyond the owner’s budget.
Finally prepare you and your dog for some fun trips. You can really enjoy those jaunts if you have proper travel supplies. Most dogs will enjoy something as simple as a car ride, it doesn’t have to be far, a couple of miles will do the trick, you can also search your local area for pet parks, where you can take your dog to socialize with other dogs. So all in all good dog care can encompass many things. Love and kindness should always be the way with our pet friends.
