You’ve probably had a day or two when you felt like your dog just wasn’t paying any attention to you at all, right? You talked, you yelled, you shouted, maybe you jumped up and down and waved your arms, but she just wasn’t interested in anything you had to say to her in any […]

Meditation is as simple as a walk in the dog park.
Imagine sitting down with your dog. As you both begin to relax, your breaths become longer, less hurried. Your thoughts slow down until it seems like you are not thinking at all.
If you and your dog already share moments like these, then you’ve glimpsed […]

Puggles are part of a new trend of “designer dogs,” like the schnoodle and the cockabiche. They are popping up in more places and are receiving more press at the moment than purebreds. They’re also commanding prices that rival and even exceed the prices of their full-blooded compatriots.

Goldendoodles, Labradoodles and Schnoodles — oh my. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to “oodle” crossbreeds.

It’s true, though, that these sizeable and exuberant dogs aren’t for everyone. Before purchasing one of these roly-poly little puppies, consider the pros and cons of the breed.

The German Shepherd breed has grown enormously in popularity, and is now one of the most popular pedigree breeds in the UK as a pet. It is still the favourite working breed for many forces, especially the police and is widely used for security purposes.

“Toy” dogs are becoming more popular all the time. These little dogs, the result of generations of selective breeding, are generally bred as companion animals and people just seem to love them. Their miniature size and playful nature (most toy breeds are good natured dogs with a few exceptions) make them wonderful companions, and for several years they have been chic among the well-to-do.
