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
Four common mistakes horse owners makeMistake #4 – Assuming That You Can Get On Any Horse And Simply RideIt is important to remember that not all horses are the same. Some horses you can get on and ride. Some are not trained which means you could be injured easily if you have little or no riding experience. The easiest kind of horses to ride are typically older horses. This is because they have been ridden the most and will be the most forgiving of mistakes that a beginning rider will make. The younger horses will normally be the hardest to ride unless they have been thoroughly broke. Mistake #3 – Not Riding A Horse Enough New horse owners often experience problems with horses not because the horse suddenly went bad, but because the new owners don’t ride their horses enough. The best thing you can do to have a good horse is to ride it and ride it and ride it. Riding him just once every couple weeks is not enough. Mistake #2 – Thinking A Problem With The Horse Is Always The Horse’s Fault Although a horse may have a few problems, they are generally a result of the horse’s owner. There are rarely horse problems – it is often more likely there are problem riders. For instance, if you have trouble getting your horse to ride away from home (this is called “Barn Sour”) it’s likely due to the fact that you don’t have control over him. You can regain control with various techniques such as Doubling. Mistake #1 – Not Understanding How Horses Think Horses do not think like dogs or cats. Horses are a prey animal this means they will run from scary things. They have thousands of years of the “flight instinct” built into their brains. To successfully train them takes a great deal of patience and understanding. You have to remember that they are naturally fearful and cynical animals. Let’s face it. Horses need to be understood if a horse owner wishes to be successful with his horse. The best thing new horse owners can do is learn how to ride properly, learn how horses think, learn what works when shaping a horses’ behavior, and understand that constantly riding a horse is just about the best thing you can do.
