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
Your rabbit's teethIn an ideal situation, the top front teeth of a rabbit will slightly overlap the front bottom teeth. Since rabbit teeth are always growing, this positioning allows natural wearing to occur as the rabbit eats food and hay.Sometimes, the front teeth will butt. If the teeth are wearing normally (meaning you don't see any overgrown or long teeth), then I would judge those teeth as acceptable for a pet rabbit. Butting teeth is a showing disqualification, if you are willing to accept a rabbit with non-problematic butting teeth, you may have a very good chance to adopt a gorgeous [otherwise] show-quality rabbit. Sometimes rabbit’s teeth will butt or overlap the wrong way and not wear normally. In this case, the teeth can and should be clipped. It only takes a couple of seconds and is fairly easy to learn how to do; your vet or a local breeder can teach you. My vet charges less to clip a rabbit's teeth than to clip a dog's nails. The frequency of the clipping will vary with the severity of the malocclusion. If the teeth need clipping but are neglected and not clipped, the rabbit could lose his ability to eat and starve to death. Wolf teeth are misaligned teeth that grow in all different directions. Simple clipping may not be enough to all rabbits with this problem for them to live a normal life. In many cases, rabbits with severe teeth problems can require euthanasia. Checking the teeth is only one part of the pre-adoption evaluation you should perform before you decide to adopt a pet rabbit. Share this article on Your rabbit's teeth with friends.
