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
Herding DogsHerding dogs are very intelligent and highly active. Most likely, they require jobs more than any other group in the UKC. They have a quick mind and a very high level of endurance. Border collies, Australian cattle dogs and Australian shepherds are all great companions if you like running and hiking—there’s nothing they would rather do than having fun and exercising for hours with their favorite person. A herding dog may be the perfect dog for you if you would like to get involved with a sport like herding, agility, or fly ball. However, if a herding dog is in the wrong hands, all this energy and intelligence can lead to a completely out of control dog. For example, even a corgi can be a handful if there’s not enough training or socialization.Herding dogs must be very brave because they regularly herd animals that are much bigger and stronger than them. They are adventure seekers, and if you don’t provide them with some kind of fun or entertainment, they will find their own. Some of these dogs will not accept anything less than a 3 mile run and an hour of aerobic play every day, so keep that in mind if you are considering getting a herding dog. Herding dogs like to pick one person as their own. If you are getting one herding dog for a family of four, be ready for that dog to pick one person to bond with, and it may not always be the person intended.
