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. Affenpinscher Dogs Cute Fluffy and Funny When first taking a look at an Affenpinscher dog, most people cannot help but smile: its cute, fluffy, hairy appearance and the constant smile it seems to be wearing will cheer up just about anybody. Also known as the monkey dog, it is very suited for someone who has a sense of humor and for whom the entertainment factor is very important when buying a pet. Most of the time, the Affie (as some will affectionately call him) is in a very good mood and more than willing to put on a show to entertain his masters. |

Until the late 1970's, animal control functions in Montgomery County were handled by the Department of Environmental Protection. It was soon recognized that the citizens and animals of the County would be better served by an agency dedicated solely to animal control and humane issues. On December 31, 1979, the Department of Animal Control and Humane Treatment (DACHT) came into being. At that time, the Department had 17 full-time employees, including eight Animal Control Officers. The Department was established to investigate complaints about animal cruelty and to protect the public from dangerous and nuisance animals. The Department also provided rabies control, and the licensing and inspection of animal-related business facilities such as pet shops and riding stables. The Department was also given the responsibility to provide safe, humane care for homeless or lost pets at the County animal shelter. The animal shelter had previously been operated by the Montgomery County Humane Society, Inc. under a contract with the County. The new Department continued to contract with the Humane Society for shelter operations. Shortly after DACHT was established, the rabies epizootic in raccoons that still exists in Montgomery County began. The Department's responsibilities multiplied rapidly as health and animal control officials worked together to control the spread of rabies. As part of the County's rabies control efforts, rabies handling procedures were revised and updated, and both cats and dogs were required to have a current rabies vaccination and County license. During the 1980's and 1990's, the Department's responsibilities continued to grow. Rabies control continued to be an important function. Calls for service from the public continued to climb as the County population topped the 800,000 mark. In Fiscal Year 1996, County Executive Douglas Duncan proposed abolishing Animal Control as an independent Department, and moving its functions into a new Division of the Montgomery County Police Department. On February 22, 1996, the County Council approved this proposal, and the Police Department's Animal Services Division came into being.
