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. |

In 1985, Claudia, with her afghan Jezebel, were vacationing in Vermont when they met two ex-racing greyhounds. Thoroughly captivated by their sweet, smart and calm demeanors, Claudia and Jezebel were appalled to find out that more than 50,000 a year, or about 150 greyhounds a day, were being killed. Killed because they were not making money for the people who owned them and trained them. Determined to make a difference, they adopted Eliminator from the Connecticut track, and worked with local groups to spread the greyhound word. Jezebel and Eliminator left Claudia for Doggie Heaven in 1992. In 1993, Claudia left corporate America and the East Coast with her new greyhound, Slim. They left looking for land and freedom. Land to house rescued greyhounds and freedom to do some good and make a difference. In 1995, in Kanab, Utah, with Slim and Beauty (Jeze and Eli are there in spirit), the Greyhound Gang was founded. Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of ex-racing greyhounds, Beauty and Winslow welcome rescued greyhounds to their home every month. They show them how great a life lived can be. Claudia gets to clean, feed, fix, train, and, of course, love them. Slim and others watch all these antics from Doggie Heaven. It all began with a chance encounter. It changed us, and we've changed others. That's all it takes to make a difference. To see the adoptable pets for Greyhound Gang click here Return to list
