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. |

Horse Haven of Tennessee was a long time dream of founding President/Executive Director Nina Margetson. Nina and her husband David moved to Tennessee from upstate New York in 1979 where Nina found employment as a veterinary assistant at a local small animal hospital. Over the years while working within the animal welfare community, Nina recognized the need for a place to shelter equine in the event of emergencies, abandonment or confiscation. County animal shelters were ill-equipped or unwilling to house equine if the need arose. Cruelty cases were not being investigated because even if reasonable cause was found to remove the animals, there was no place to house them until a judgment was made by the courts. In 1997 Nina and David purchased a few acres and began working towards building a temporary placement facility. An additional 47+ acres was made available for their use but would require clearing and fencing. During this time Nina began earning her Animal Cruelty Investigator certification from the National Cruelty Investigators School, offered through the University of Missouri Law Enforcement Training Institute. The plan was to have a small, equine holding facility and a network of foster people available in the Knox and surrounding counties, offered at no charge to the local officials, within three (3) years. By being able to offer this type of service HHT had hopes the local communities would be more apt to take a stand against neglect and cruelty to our equine friends.
