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

Custom Dog Tags

Have you or your family been shopping for just the right dog tag, are you finding it tough to locate one to suit your dog's personality? It may help to know that you can choose your exact specifications, give them to a manufacturer, and they'll produce a dog tag to your liking. Some retailers even specialize in custom made dog tags.

Do you like the look and feel of stainless steel, brass, or aluminum? Or maybe you are not picky, and just need a simple, cheap plastic tag. It is important to remember that plastic won't last quite as long, but they are very inexpensive and easily replaceable. A metal or plastic dog tag shouldn't cost more than $40 in most cases, and in many cases they can be purchased for under $10. You can have all of your dog's vital information imprinted in the surface of any metal or plastic dog tag, which is good in case he ever gets lost.

Some of the more expensive dog tags are jeweled. Some manufactures will allow you to choose an exact pattern that you wish the design to be in. If you want the shape of a cursive "D" for Daisy, and you want it done in rhinestone, you should be able to find someone to do that. Some retailers offer a more limited array of options, but you can still choose from two or three types of embedded stones.

When it comes to really high-end dog tags, such as sapphire, real silver, gold, or diamond, there tend to be more choices. This is because there is a very good possibility that you will be spending many hundreds, or even thousands of dollars for the material itself, so it's worth it for the retailer to give you as many options as possible.

You should also choose the material and style of the collar or necklace. There are leather, nylon, rubber, and so on, on the cheaper end; and silk or silver chains on the higher end. Choose a collar or necklace which compliments whatever dog tag you go with. Just make sure your dog is comfortable with it.
