Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...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. The Aidi Dog A Perfect Watchdog Of Moroccan origin, the Aidi dog evolved as a watchdog for herds of goats and sheep. For this reason, it has heightened senses that are very good at detecting threats and its instincts are perfectly in tune, resulting in a speedy and efficient reaction. These characteristics are also perfect for a hunting dog - so it is also very good at filling that role. Very courageous, this breed has evolved in the Morrocan mountains, protecting itself and its owners from many vicious predators like wildcats, but also from strangers. Also called the Berber (it was commonly used by Berber tribes), this breed is very similar to Pariah dogs - to which it is believed to be related. |

The California Department of Fish and Game has authorized the California Domestic Ferret Association (CDFA) to rescue and relocate all domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) impounded in the State of California to adoptive homes in Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Arizona. All ferrets are placed by personality to matching animals with new owners - in other words, all ferrets are with owners complimenting their personalities. Never assume that a ferret is not adoptable for any reason. People who are unfamiliar with ferret behavior sometimes mistake fear or play for aggression and euthanize the animal under the impression they are unsuitable for adoption. We offer fifteen years experience in dealing with and placing literally hundreds of ferrets, and all of the shelters affiliated with our organization are "no kill" shelters. We have more than enough people wanting to adopt right now - we even have homes that adopt geriatric ferrets and specialize in their care. CDFA enforces a mandatory neuter/spay policy for all ferrets rescued and adopted. We do home inspections and follow-up on all of our adoptions. Our affiliated shelters have written policy to take back any ferrets where the original adoption does not work out for any reason. Our goals are simple: to protect the lives of ferrets seized in California, educate the public, and legalize the domestic ferret as a companion animal in California. CDFA rescue operations can be reached at (530) 873-4720 or our emergency pager at (510) 702-3105 - 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
