My favourite dog articles, thoughts and opinions.
If ever you wanted to observe the epitome of futility, the doggedness of determination and a sheer willingness to try and get blood from a stone, then this is it. Despite the lack of stick throwing feedback, nobody could argue that this Border Collie didn't give it her very best shot.
How about this for some fancy talkin'? ” Chrysippus , albeit in other things as disdainfull a judge of the con- dition of beasts as any other Philosopher, considering the earliest movings of the dog, who comming into a path that led three sever- all wayes in search or quest of his Master, whom he…
According to research by scientists, dogs can display signs of jealousy comparable to humans. Personally, I don’t believe they do and I’ll explain more about that in a moment. But first let us look at the new research done in the name of science. The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them…
I’m all for intelligent, selective cross breeding to widen the canine gene pool…but some experiments are, quite frankly, an affront to nature. This is one of them. Outrageous.

Ever since the airing of Pedigree Dogs Exposed on the BBC, debate has raged about the role dog breeders have played in creating a mess of some much loved, but sadly debilitated dog breeds. There have been accusations of broad brush labelling of all breeders and many have felt personally slighted by the vitriol born…
As always, there is a lot of discussion about how we can introduce laws to tackle the problem of dangerous dogs. It’s a heated debate often grounded in media hype, misguided prejudices and emotion. Rather than make kneejerk decisions on what we THINK we might know about serious and fatal dog attacks we should be…
Dog Owners Live Longer, Are Happier and Healthier: Report Academic research has revealed that dog owners are happier, healthier and likely to live longer.
