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
How long should my dog runDear Animal Shelter:I have a Shepherd/Husky "Raven." She's great. I do have a couple of problems with her but I will not waste your time with them as I have found the answers already addressed at your site. I "run" Newt in our field which is roughly 40 acres, she is either in front of the four wheeler or behind it, running as fast as she can. I stop when she slows down and we take a short break usually for 10 minutes. Each time we stop, I watch her closely and try to decide if she's had enough. Lately it's been me who has had enough (she wants to keep running, and running) and I tell her to get on the back of the ATV. My question is: Should I limit the time or distance she runs (for her own good) and can it be too cold for a long run? Regards, Jennifer. Dear Jennifer: Thank you for the question. To be honest... I don't know. Normally my advice is to always let common sense rule. But to be specific, it's really more of a health question that you should speak with your veterinarian about before beginning any extensive exercise program with your dog. As a general rule, you will need to build up your dog's endurance, just as you would your own if you were running. I usually start a dog with a 10 to 15 minute jog, and over the course of several (5) weeks, gradually build up the duration to between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on your dog and her health. By the way... you should be running your dog on dirt, gravel, sand or grass. Running your dog on concrete is a bad idea and should be avoided if possible.
