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
Should you allow your dog to sleep in your bedThere really is no right or wrong answer to this question. The real question is - is letting daisy sleep in your bed right for you? Truthful answers to just a few questions will help you reach the correct decision for both you and your dog.First: Daisy is an adorable, 17-pound Mastiff puppy. What you have to ask yourself is will there be room for both of you in bed when she's a full-grown, 130 pound dog? You have to remember that her legs don't bend the way ours do - picture her, as an adult, taking the space of a four-foot square. Quite possibly not the best choice for a sleeping companion in your twin bed. Next: Does your pup snore? Or shed? Or drool? Much as you may love him, there will be times when he's been rolling in something that you really don’t want on your sheets. Giving a dog a bath every night before bed-time isn't very realistic. Third: A dog's normal body temperature is somewhere around 102 degrees. This can be warm, wonderful and cozy on a frigid winter night - especially when you're trying to keep that thermostat set low and the energy bills under control. It actually sounds delightfully snuggly this time of year. But think about those same 102 degrees in the hot month of August. Will you really be able to look at that shaggy face and say "Not tonight, dear, it's too hot !" Your dog isn't going to understand and may think he's done something wrong. There are some trainers who claim that dogs should never sleep with you, that it will undermine your authority as the leader of your family "pack." The most important concepts in training are patience, decisiveness, and consistency. Decide what the rules are for your dog, and stick to them. As long as she knows what's expected, she's happy.
