Tuesday’s Top Ten: Top Dogs
September 22, 2009
The AKC has developed a list of the nine breeds that have embodied America’s taste in canine companionship over the past 125 years. (I added the 10th, because of my belief that everyone needs the experience of knowing a Golden Retriever at least once in their lifetime.)
Doggie Profiling
May 8, 2008
Looking for a new member for your family, but not sure what breed to choose? A controversial study from the American Veterinary Association shows that breeds can be placed in seven groups based on three general traits:
- Â Reactivity (described as showing a need for affection, excessive barking, snapping at children, being excitable, or having a high activity level)
- Â Aggressiveness (showing dominance or being territorial)
- Â Trainability (easy to train)
You can use this these groups to narrow down your search, based on what you are looking for in a dog.
