Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...Ainu The Perfect Guardian dogThe Ainu dog, also called Hokkaido dog, is named after the Japanese prefecture where it arrived 3000 years ago, when the Ainu tribe from the Tohoken region brought it along. With its straight forelegs, powerful neck, prominent chest and solid back, the dog is thin, muscular and fast - an important feature for those who would like to adopt such a breed. Due to its outdoorsy and inquisitive nature, it needs long daily walks and regular exercise to stay in shape. That is why this breed is unsuitable for living inside an apartment. Intelligent, watchful, eager to learn and very easy to train, the breed is suitable for hunting, but it also Choose the Airedale Terrier as a Pet and Say Good-Bye to Boredom “The King of the Terriers”, the Airedale terrier comes from Airedale, Yorkshire, England, and it is the largest of the terrier breeds. It comes from crossing the old and vanished breeds of the Black-and-Tan terrier with the Otterhound. It is also said that they have the Manchester terrier in their blood. They were initially bred to hunt otters (reason for which they are also called the Waterside Terrier) and hares in the valley of the Aire river - that also gave its name to the breed - and to herd sheep, being both shepherd and hunting dogs. The Africanis Dog From the South African Plains to Your Home Dog breeders do not officially recognize Africanis as a breed. Also known as the Bantu Dog or the Zulu Dog, the breed developed in South Africa and it is basically comprised of similar breeds that are originally from the area. However, dog historians have acquired enough evidence to conclude that, originally, the breed lived in the East and Middle East and migrated to Africa in ancient times. The Zulu Dog is a perfect companion for people, whether we are talking about more traditional activities like hunting or herding, or simply about the pleasure of having a dog companion. The Afghan Hound Elegance and Distinction If the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show. |
