Maltese

Image
A Maltese is a dog who is gentle and fearless. This dog is a very cuddly and affectionate little pup. They love being with people so they are perfect family dogs, even with a home full of kids. The history of this dog is pretty interesting. The dog had many names before the main one, Maltese. Some names were known as,  the "Melitae Dog," "Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta," the "Roman Ladies Dog," "The Comforter," the "Spaniel Gentle," the "Bichon," the "Maltese Lion Dog," and the "Maltese Terrier."  This breed has a lot of hair and it can grow pretty  quick too. It's usually white and silky. In the past, they came in several other colors, but now they are mainly white. They are suited very well for apartment living and small houses because of their size. They are playful pups who love to be active. Photo by Dogtime

Aussies!

Image
In this week's post, we are gonna talk about Australian Shepherds. These are one of the most beautiful looking dogs out there. These dogs actually originated in the Western US, not Australia. This was around the gold rush in the 1840s. These dogs are used to herd livestock, and they do this by nipping, barking and eyeing the flock. They are highly intelligent dogs who love to be active. They aren't the type of "sleep all day" dogs. This dog needs plenty of exercise such as walks, runs, trips to the dog park and any other active activity. Aussie's are great dogs for competitions. Because these dogs have such tough agility, they are able to jump high and catch things in the air. If they do not get enough exercise, they will tend to get agitated and bark a lot. This is why Aussies need to be active. They definitely do not belong in apartments. Having a pretty decent yard is ideal for them to run around and play in. To conclude, these dogs are fun-living pets that a...

The Snow Dog

Hello dog lovers, today we are gonna talk about the Siberian Husky. Huskies are absolutely beautiful dogs that are awesome pets to have. This breed originated in Siberia hence the name, Siberian Husky. They grow to be pretty big, medium sized. they have a heavy coat of hair which is why they do well in the arctic cold. They possess a lot of power and athleticism. This breed is not for everyone. They are very beautiful dogs, which attract many people to love them, but not everyone doesn't know the whole truth about owning them. They have several pros and cons. For one, they are very intelligent and independent dogs. They are very affectionate with people too so they are wonderful family pets. A con to note is that they are very difficult to train. They definitely need obedience training because they can be intolerant. Since they are so big, they do not do well in apartment settings. Huskies need big open areas to run around and play. They need a lot of exercise because they are ac...

The Lhasa Apso

Image
Photo by Dogtime Today I want to talk about a foreign dog that I haven’t heard about yet. This breed is called the Lhasa Apso. They are originally from Tibet. They are highly regarded watch dogs in the palaces and monasteries of their homeland. They have extremely long hair so grooming is an essential. They are very family orientated and are there to protect. They are super independent and loyal which makes them perfect dogs. They do great in apartments. They are small enough for them and are quiet so it doesn't affect the neighbors. They're fairly healthy dogs too even though, of course they are prone to some issues too. They are prone to allergies such as food allergies, contact, bed fleas and other things. They enjoy playing outside so it's important to check for outdoor fleas since they have a lot of hair. They like to walk as long as their not too long. Photo by PetWave Overall, this dog is really fun and has a cool name. One important thing to note abou...

Shiba Shiba

Image
Shiba Inus are just super adorable right? Well, to me they are. I love their coat of fur and just their look overall. Honestly, to me, they look like little foxes. The breed was originally bred to flush birds and small game and was occasionally used to hunt wild boar. Something interesting is that they are one of Japan’s six native breeds. There’s Akita (large), Kishu, Hokkaido, Kai, Shioku (medium) and Shiba (small). This dog is known for his spirited personality, small upright ears and cat-like ability. Today, they serve mainly as a companion dog in Japan and the US. These dogs are great for people who live in apartments because they adjust well in small living areas. They also do well with being left at home alone for a while. Most of the time, they will just sleep around when they’re favorite show isn’t on. They are small dogs, roughly weighing around 20 lbs. They’re very athletic so playing fetch with them is easy and fun. But one thing to note, is that they are difficult to tr...

Put a Corg in It

Image
This week, we're gonna talk about Corgis. The reason why I chose to talk about this bread is because my friend is getting one soon, so it got me thinking, this is a great breed to write about. I absolutely love corgis. They're too cute with their little bodies and small short legs. Something that I didn't know about corgis is that there is two breeds of them. One breed is the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the other one is called the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Welsh stands for "dwarf" dog. The differences between the two breeds is that the Cardigan is the older of the two breeds. He is distinguished by the long tail on his body. The Cardigan's medium-length coat comes in many colors and patterns, including red, brindle, blue merle and black, usually with white markings. For the Pembroke, their tails are docked. They are also the smallest between the two. They also have a narrow blaze on their head. Corgis in general are great family pets. They are sure to please you if...

Lil French Dogs

Image
So I really wanna talk about this next dog because I find them absolutely adorable and funny. I never knew how much I liked these dogs until I met my Uncle Tim's french bulldog. Her name is Tallula, and she's absolutely the cutest thing ever. I think she's cuter than my own dogs. Something to know about these dogs is that they are great companions. They are jolly loyal dogs who love to have fun with humans and other dogs. They were created in England to be a mini Bulldog. This kind of dog is rare and hard to find these days. Also, they are very expensive. My uncle told me that he bought this dog for $5,000.00. To me, that is totally worth it. A fun fact that I'm sure many people know, is that this dog breed is on the show Modern Family. Her television name is Stella, and she is the star of the show. I get excited every time I see her. via They are small dogs, yet they have muscular small bodies. They have easy-going personalities, and they love to play with other...

Pugtastic!

Image
So there are so many different breeds of dogs out there to learn about. I want to talk about pugs first, not only because I own one but also because I really admire them. Pugs are definitely dogs that love attention and many belly rubs. Pugs look very funny because of their snub noses as most people notice. They make me think of a dog who ran into a door. With their snub noses, they are prone to many breathing problems, so it's very important to watch out for them, especially in the extreme heat. So to the pug facts. They come from Chinese descent, and they are toy dogs. The Pug's name comes from the latin word "fist" because their face resembles a fist. They are thick little creatures. It is very easy for them to become overweight like my dog, so it's important to watch what you feed them. The moles on the sides of their cheeks are called beauty spots. Also something that identifies them is their curly looking tail. It looks like a cinnamon roll to me. For pe...
