http://www.usabeaucerons.com/ Know anything about her? I'm planning on getting a Beauceron (it will be a couple years at the earliest), but I'm wanting to do some research on breeders and bloodlines and such now. Any thoughts on this breeder? She caught my eye mainly because she is right here...

American Allaunts -- Tell me more please
I just heard of this breed for the first time today, and I am just curious to learn more about them and when/how/why they originated. I briefly googled them, but didn't come up with much info. Apparently they aren't a recognized breed. I'm hoping some of you folks here might have a little...

stalking... a breed trait?
Is stalking prey a breed thing or more of a dog thing? Just curious... just saw my dog stalk a rabbit. The rabbit was just sitting there at first while my dog slowly inched towards it like lion would. She's part terrier but I have never seen terriers stalk anything.

Is Your Breed Easy To Train?
I just took Riley on a long walk and practiced heeling and his recall....he did really well, but I gotta say sometimes it would be nice to have a border collie or aussie or german shepherd - one of those breeds that are renowned for their trainability. It seems like it would be so much easier to teach...

LGB Dog Aggression
Ok, every week in Toronto Sun, a pet trainer has a column in which concerned pet owners can write in and ask for advice. Think of it as a "Dear Abby" for pet lovers. Normally I don't become enraged with the letters, as you can tell some people are new to the pet ownership game and are...

Breeds and teeth?
Just curious if some breeds are known to have larger teeth, whiter, less healthy etc. I know that some small breeds are more prone to dental problems but is there a breed correlation? I am very curious about tooth size or length as Bugsy's teeth are larger than the goldens or labs we know - may be...
