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 goal of Little Dudes Ferret Ranch is to educate people about the care and financial costs of being owned by a ferret. Our hope is to help people understand these responsibilities BEFORE they adopt. In the meantime, LDFR is committed to caring for all homeless ferrets until a new permanent loving home is found. We are a 100% no-kill shelter and no ferrets are ever euthanized due to lack of room, age, behavior or illness. We are all people coming together to care for these ferrets in our homes. We have jobs and families and help pay for their daily care with our own money. We depend on donations, cage sales, fund raisers and adoption fees to pay for the cost of supplies and medical care and to keep our doors open. We are not a shelter and can only continue to take in ferrets as long as there are enough funds and enough volunteer and foster home support to properly care for them. We also offer sponsorship and permanent foster care programs. Someone can sponsor a special needs ferret that remains in the care of our hospice for as little as $10 a month to help with food and other supplies or $150 or more to pay for surgery for an ailing ferret. Our permanent foster program allows an unusually geriatric or special needs ferret to go to a foster home for extra TLC while still being financially supported by LDFR. Ferret adoptions are available and prices vary depending on age. All ferrets have been spayed or neutered, are vaccinated against distemper and microchipped prior to leaving the shelter. If you are considering a ferret for a pet, please do your research first to be sure you understand the committment you are making. Ferrets For Dummies is a great book full of very useful information as well as our Ferret Resources page. This should get you started and help you decide if a ferret is the right pet for you or your family. To see the adoptable pets for Little Dudes Ferret Ranch click here Return to list
