Aggressive Breeds?
2008-06-11 02:03:00 We know that Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Doberman Pinschers are considered aggressive dog breeds by their appearance and nature. Do you think that Boxers, Chows, and Bulldogs are universally considered aggressive breeds?

How do you determine what constitutes a breed you will absolutely not accept? What types of dogs do you allow?The Humane Society has guidelines that downplay the pets breed in tenent decisions for other criteria such as a veternarian reference, a landlord reference, evidence of shots, license, and spaying.How do you determine what types of dogs you accept?

Dog Breeds ? The Pointer
2008-04-09 21:13:00 Many breeds of dog owe their existence to the human quest for birds and other game, and the Pointer is certainly no exception. The Pointer was developed to help hunters flush out game birds, by ?pointing? in the direction of the game. This unique breed retains its love of the hunt, and it loves to run and play.

It is important for all dog owners to have their pets thoroughly vet checked at least once per year.The dense, short coat of the Pointer requires less grooming than many other breeds, but i...

They are extremely beautiful and intelligent, although modern breeding practices have introduced an unhealthy leaning towards an overly triangular head shape. Siamese are very vocal, however, which can be a problem for some people, as they may be a little bit determined in putting their views across. This is not a cat f...
