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 to Pick Your Dog's NameChoosing the right name for your male dog is a very important decision. You should choose his name well because you and your dog will be companions for a long time to come. The name you choose for your dog reflects not only on you, but also your dog, and your relationship with him.Some important considerations when selecting a unique name for your dog are: * You should choose a name that is easy to pronounce and call out, preferably a one or two syllable name. * This about how your dog behaves? What is his personality like? You wouldn't name a dog 'Chaos' if he was sweet, gentle, and calm. * Think about his breed, coat color, and size? For instance, you wouldn't name a Doberman "Fluffy". * What is your dog’s purpose? Is he going to be a guard dog for your home or business, a hunting dog, or maybe just a household pet? * What is the breed's origin? For example, if you have a German Shepherd, consider German male dog names like Helga or Fritz. If you have an Irish Setter, maybe an Irish name like Conan or Conner would suit him. * Try to encourage your entire family to take part in choosing a name for your dog. * Give your dog a name that relates to something about an interest you have. For instance, if you like to camp, perhaps "Scout" would be a good name. * Pick out a couple favorite names, maybe the top 4 or 5, then try them on your new dog for a few days to see what you like and what he seems to respond to. * Try to avoid names that could be confused with common commands like "sit," "stay," etc. * Finally, do you like the name? You will be saying it daily (hopefully with pleasure, but sometimes with exasperation) for the next 10 years or more. Share this article on How to Pick Your Dog's Name with friends.
