All About Dog's

Toy Dog

Poodle - Miniature and Toy

Lively, intelligent and affectionate; Poodles are a versatile breed that make great companions. The poodle has long been a favorite with people of all ages. Although there are three sizes of Poodles, only the Toy and Miniature weigh in at under 25 pounds. I do not recommend Toy Poodles as a dog breed suitable for families with younger children.

Shih Tzu

A small, sturdy and compact dog with a long, flowing double coat, the Shih Tzu is the epitome of a lap dog. With a coat of any color, the Shih Tzu lacks the fragility of other toy breeds, making him the perfect companion for almost every household member. He is a tolerant, happy and affectionate little dog, and easily mixing with other animals in a home.

Brussels Griffon

The movie "As Good As It Gets" brought this little dog into the limelight, but he's much more than just distinguished and photogenic good looks. The Brussels Griffon is a compact and sturdy toy dog, with a strikingly human-like expression on its face. He comes with two types of coats, rough and smooth, and a jaunty personality that tends to win over most, even non-dog people.

Scottish Terrier

One of the most well-known terriers in the world, the Scottie's distinctive profile is recognized almost everywhere. Originally bred for vermin-hunting, the Scottish Terrier is an energetic and intelligent companion. Due to his nature though, he needs plenty of daily exercise to be healthy in body and mind.

A small dog of even temperament and rough coat, the Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie, for short) is a dog that fits well in a family unit. That said, the Shetland Sheepdog is also, first and foremost, sheepdog with important needs regarding exercise. In order to be a well-behaved pet, plenty of interaction and exercise is a must. Lack of interaction will bring out the mischief in these dogs, and they can become annoying barkers without stimulation. An intelligent and gentle-natured dog, Shetland Sheepdogs deal with children and other animals.

Yorkshire Terrier

A tiny dog whose personality outweighs him, the Yorkie is a delight to dog lovers everywhere. Happy and outgoing, Yorkies tend to easily get along with everybody, be the company adults, childen, or other dogs. Their playful personality sand small size enchant children, but these little dogs can be easily injured by larger playmates, so supervision is necessary. It's also important to remember that even though they only weigh six pounds, Yorkies are still true terriers and need the activity and interaction that that all terrier breeds require.

West Highland White Terrier

A large and vivacious personality is packed into this compact frame. The West Highland White Terrier (Westie to his friends) is a big dog in a portable body.

Working Dogs

Boxer Dog is a breed of stocky, medium-sized, short-haired dog. The coat is smooth and fawn or brindled, with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser group.

Rottweiler . There’s no exact information about the native land of Rottweiler, according to some sources its origin dates from the Rome’s empire. It is used as a pet and a hunt dog. According to others its native land is Germany. In the timeof the First and the Second World War it is used as a guard dog.

The Miniature Pinscher is a bold and courageous dog breed that is sometimes called the "King of the Toys." These little guys don't quite know their size, or perhaps they just don't care. The spunky Min Pin is also known for its entertaining and mischievous character. Contrary to what many believe, the Min Pin was not bred down from the Doberman Pinscher. In fact, Min Pins came first - and they seem to know it.






The Vizsla may not be the most common of dog breeds, but it makes up for that by being quite memorable. These lovely redheads are commonly called "Velcro Vizslas" because of their desire to remain close to their humans. The breed's dynamic personality and natural skill set makes it perfect as both companion and sporting dog.

The St. Bernard is a very large dog with a large head. A full-grown male can weigh between 160 and 260 lb (73–117 kg) or more and the approximate height at the withers is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm).^[1] The coat can be either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red colour with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with white. Black shading is usually found on the face and ears. The tail is long and heavy, hanging low with the end turned up slightly. The dark eyes should have naturally tight lids, with "haws only slightly visible".
