America’s Ten Most Popular Dog Breeds

Our cars are getting bigger, and our dogs are getting smaller. Recent research suggests that Americans are moving more toward the toy breeds when considering dog adoption.

Hollywood Hounds: Top 10 Celebrity Mutts

No we’re not talking Britney Spears and her incredibly neglected, anxiety-ridden, pharmaceutically addicted Chihuahua. That would be a shame; I’m half expecting the next Enquirer headline to read, “ASPCA Pilfers Brit’s Prized Pups.” Who knows, they could’ve done that a long time ago. Or should’ve.

We’re not going to get into all the genetic behind advantages and disadvantages of hybrid dogs. No, what we are going to address here is the groundswell of popularity these hybrids have generated. It seems as if pure breed canines or […]

Some dogs belong on fire engines, and some dogs want nothing more than to stand guard. Some prefer to hunt game, while others choose to herd whatever is around them – whether that be kids, ducks, toys – you get the picture. Some animals help rescue swimmers, some wear kegs around their necks filled with […]
