Tuesday Top Ten: Herding Breeds
They’re not just for farmers anymore. The herding breeds can make great pets, as long as you are prepared to help them find an outlet for all that energy and intelligence. These dogs have to have a job or they can become destructive, but properly occupied, they are wonderful companions.
More Pit Bull Attacks in the News
I know we keep having the debate about whether Pit Bulls are bad news or whether they just sell newspapers, but I found both of these articles in this week’s northeastern Ohio news, and wanted to share it with you.

Tuesday Top Ten: Watch Dogs
Most of these dogs are from the terrier group, and all but the Airedale and the Standard Schnauzer are small in stature, but big in personality.

Obviously, this means that watch dogs will typically be barkers. If you live in a small apartment or have close neighbors, you’ll want to think twice before getting one of these breeds.
