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
Training For Napping HorsesIf you have ever ridden a horse that stops and refuses to go forward then you know how annoying it can be.Why do they stop? We are glad you asked, it is because that's their natural reaction to a worrisome or unpleasant situation. Even nervous and timid horses will stake themselves to the ground because they are very apprehensive about leaving the herd or the barn where they feel protected and safe. What other reasons are there for napping? One is the horse just isn’t sure what to do. They'd rather stop or stand still than move forward. If your horse naps in a place he's familiar with (ie. your home area) then you should check your tack for things like a poorly fitted saddle. The pain could become unbearable and at that point the horse simply won't move. Often, a horse will react to bad fitting tack by rearing or even bucking. So when tack is bad fitting, napping is a pretty good alternative. A secret tip about nappers is to closely observe where they're napping. If you find they get nappy around certain things or places then you might be able to spot a pattern. For instance, if every time your horse rides by a tarp and he stops, that is likely your culprit. But it could be lots of different things. It could be bushes. Trees. Dog pens. Or anything really. What should you do while you're patiently waiting for your horse to move? If you're with friends it may be a good idea to warn them before hand that this may happen. You may have to sit there and have a conversation. If you're by yourself bring a crossword puzzle or maybe even a book. Do whatever it takes for you to pass the time and do not get impatient. Just remember to treat the situation as you would a horse that's spooking. Most of the time, napping is a reaction to spooking. You simply have to be patient and wait it out.
