What About Dogs

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...

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.

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 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...
