European vs American: various visual...
This is a general visual ‘outline’ of the most well-observed differences between bloodlines in America versus European bloodlines, showing several breeds. Keep in mind that every breed has many bloodlines, and both continents will have leaner and bulkier dogs that have not come from the opposite country’s bloodlines. So, again, this is just general, but what is highly observed...

Take the Pledge: Don't support pet stores that... →
Any money you spend still helps support a horrible cause, unfortunately, whether you are buying the dog itself or just a product.
Please note, this does not include pet stores that do in-store adoptions, such as Petsmart.

Gideon (hero or warrior)
Gideon was transferred to a specialty hospital late last night by AHS staff and he is receiving expert veterinary care. All of his wounds were caused by dog-fighting as we suspected.

Dragon's Den's Arlene supports MatchMakerPet, a... →
The link above will lead you to the page set up on the CBC website for this project that Arlene herself bought into.
This comes as quite a shock, considering this show was aired after Marketplace did a special on puppy mills, and just after Toronto banned the sale of puppies in pet stores.
This website will be a haven for backyard breeders and irresponsible owners to make money off of.
Perhaps...

PETITION: Sign in support of Ontario repealing... →
Best Friends Animal Society set up this petition in hopes of helping Ontario repeal the horrible BSL set in place nearly a decade ago. With elections coming up, bully owners and admirers are on the edge of their seats and tips of their paws awaiting the verdict on what will happen with the current breed ban.
Fingers crossed that the massive attention to this issue this year will do some good!

Did you know...?
Did you know that first generation mixes, and even up to fourth generation and further, are often unable to meet the promises set by their breeders?
Labradoodles, as an example due to popularity (though this applies to any Poodle mix), are often sold as hypoallergenic, a label that is not only dangerous to a buyer who has allergies, but to the dog as well. This is because totally hypoallergenic...
