GRIFFON BRUXELLOIS DOG

The Griffon Bruxellois is known to have a huge heart, and a strong desire to snuggle and be with his or her master. They display a visible air of self-importance. A Griffon should not be shy or aggressive; however, they are very emotionally sensitive, and because of this, should be socialized carefully at a young age. Griffons should also be alert, inquisitive and interested in their surroundings.

Griffons tend to bond with one human more than others. This, along with their small size, may make them unsuitable as a family pet, especially for a family with very small children. Griffons tend to get along well with other animals in the house, including cats, ferrets, and other dogs. However, they can get into trouble because they have no concept of their own relative size and may attempt to dominate dogs much larger than themselves.

Some say: "Having a Griffon means having a true constant companion. They need their favorite person all the time, and will be very unhappy if left outdoors or alone most of the day. A Griffon Bruxellois will want to follow you about the house, on your errands, and to bed."

ROTTWEILER DOG

The Rottweiler is not usually a barker. Male dogs are silent watchers who notice everything and are often quite stoic. Females may become problem barkers in order to protect their den. An attentive owner is usually able to recognize when a Rottweiler perceives a threat. Barking is usually a sign of annoyance with external factors (car alarms or other disturbances) rather than a response to actual threats.

The Rottweiler Welfare Association offers the following advice for would-be Rottweiler owners:[4]

Like all dogs, the Rottweiler needs to be trained properly and controlled at all times, and should be prevented from any chance to make predatory attacks upon livestock and wildlife.

No one should own a Rottweiler unless they are absolutely sure they can control it, and are willing and able to devote time and effort to teaching the dog basic good manners
The Rottweiler has a natural guarding instinct. Do not do anything (for instance, rough play) to enhance this guarding instinct.
No Rottweiler should be left in the sole charge of a person, such as a child, who is not capable of controlling it
Any person who owns a dog should be aware that he will be devoted to and feel protective towards his household. This should be borne in mind when children are playing, people are arguing, or visitors are calling
Third party insurance should be taken out on any Rottweiler that you own.

SAMOYED DOG

The Samoyed is one of the oldest breeds of dogs known to man. They took their name form the Samoyede tribe who were nomadic hunters in Siberia. The dogs were used to hunt, herd and guard the tribe and family. At night it was common for the dogs to sleep with the tribe in their tents for warmth. This of course forged a close bond that is still evident today ... the Samoyed's favorite spot is right by their owner's side, day and night.

The Samoyed is said to carry the spirit of Christmas with it the whole year round, especially when they display their infectious smile. Samoyeds do not have the doggy smell most breeds do and are non-allergenic. Their white coat can stay looking clean even when running through winter mud. In fact, we live on a rural property and our dogs do not require bathing more than once or twice a year. The “silver tips” and oil in their coat often require no more than a brush when a muddied dog is dry. Powder can be sprinkled in their coat to bring it up looking clean. We usually go over them with a hot towel and powder bath before a show.

Samoyeds are a thinking dog and the more human contact they have, the more they learn from this association. We have had some that will eagerly wait at the front door at exactly the same time every day, if an arrival home is consistent.


A Samoyed is usually loyal and obedient. Our children have grown up with our dogs, with never a hint of a temperament problem. Our children have pulled fur & tails, and "ridden" them without a single incident. (This is our experience only and is not a recommendation.) The amount of interaction with people and reinforcement of acceptable behaviour enhance the intelligence of a dog, and you need to teach them what they are (and aren't) allowed to do, just as you would teach your child.

There is no greater pleasure than to have a well-behaved, well-groomed Samoyed by your side, with their friendly smiling face and happy attitude.

POODLE - standard

There are three sizes of Poodles--Standard, Miniature, and Toy. They are alike in every way except for size. All Poodles originated from the Standard Poodle. Poodles are smart, loyal, proud and fun. They seem to understand the moods of their special friends. They enjoy the challenges of obedience training, which gives these intelligent dogs great happiness. Politely reserved around strangers, they can also have a playful sense of humour.

The Poodle is the national dog of France.
The Standard Poodle is the oldest of the three varieties.
The words Standard, Miniature, and Toy are used to denote size only. All of these are one breed.
Poodles are known for their work retrieving capabilities in the water.

HARRIER BEAGLE DOG

The Harrier is a small dog breed of the hound class, used for hunting rabbits ("hares"). It resembles a foxhound but is smaller. A humorous, yet fairly accurate short-hand description of a Harrier is that of "a Beagle on steroids." It is a muscular hunting hound with a short, hard coat. It has large bones for stamina and strength. The Harrier is more playful and outgoing than the Foxhound, but not as much as the Beagle. Cheerful, sweet-tempered, and tolerant, it is excellent with children. This pack dog is good with other dogs, but should be supervised with noncanine pets unless it is raised with them from puppyhood. It prefers life in a pack with people, dogs, or both. This active dog likes to go exploring, sniffing, and trailing, so be sure to keep it on a leash or in a safe enclosed area. Some Harriers like to bay.

GREAT DANE DOG

The Great Dane dog is a sleek, athletic dog tightly bonded to humans, capable of great courage, and known among fanciers as (the Apollo of dogs). The Great Dane is properly called the Deutsche Dogge or German Mastiff, a name eschewed by fanciers in English-speaking countries. However, there is no evidence that the dog developed anywhere but Germany, and there is no known reason for it to be named for the country of Denmark. The breed originated from dogs of the mastiff type and was developed to hunt wild boar, guard castles, pull carts, and participate in battle. Since the Germans never do anything by halves, the Deutsche Dogge lived up to its promise as a fierce, courageous canine, a (super dog), designed to hunt the savage and unpredictable European wild boar, a beast well- armed with formidable tusks that could rip a dog to shreds.
