Top 5 Cute Boxers Dogs

Most Beautiful Boxers Dogs

 

 Facts

1. In the past, Boxers have performed beautifully in the ring- the circus ring that is. Because they are easily trainable, strong, and energetic, Boxer dogs used to be popular performers in the circus.
2. The now-extinct ancestor of the Boxer, the Bullenbeisser, was used to hunt wild boar and stag. This powerful dog could seize large prey and hold it until its master came. It's no wonder then that today's Boxer dogs have such strong jaws and muscular builds.
3. Boxer dogs became popular in the United States after WWII when soldiers brought them home as pets after using them in the military as guard and attack dogs.
4. Boxers have floppy ears and long tails, but are often cropped and docked. Although this practice is illegal now in some countries, in American dog shows a long tail on a Boxer is still severely penalized.
5. One of the funnier facts about Boxer dogs is that they are known to snore, and loudly at that. They also tend to drool all over the place.
6. Boxer dogs often have white markings, but if more than a third of their body is white, they are called "white Boxers," and these dogs cannot receive full registration because they do not meet the breed standard. Although they still make good pets, white Boxers are more likely to be deaf and are more prone to skin cancer.
7. Boxer dogs were developed in Germany and were often used there as police dogs. The German Boxer is slightly different in build than the American Boxer. The German breed tends to be a little larger, and their heads are squarer in shape than American Boxers' heads.
8. One of the facts about Boxer dogs that may help you determine what type of Boxer to get is the difference between males and females. Female Boxer dogs are generally much more hyper and the males are more laid back. Both males and females tend to be good with smaller pets, but will occasionally fight with larger dogs of the same sex.
9. Boxers make good guard dogs because they are very friendly and gentle with people they know, but are wary of strangers and can be very intimidating. They will not hesitate to protect themselves and their human family if threatened.
10. Boxers have a bad rap for being headstrong, and can sometimes be difficult to train, but they actually respond very well to positive reinforcement. This is because they are very loyal and loving dogs, and want to please their masters. Training through punishment for wrong behavior is generally not nearly as successful with Boxers and can sometimes even make behavior worse.

Beagle facts

Beagles are one of the most beloved breeds of dog around the world. Snoopy, perhaps the world’s most famous dog, is a beagle. Here are some other interesting facts about beagles.

• Beagles were originally bred as hunters, especially rabbits, so if you have small pets around, be careful if you get a beagle. He might think he’s doing you a favor by bringing you a pet hamster.
• Beagles come in many colors, but mostly are of the tri-color variety: black, white, and tan. They are usually born black and white and they develop their tan fur as they get older.
• Purebred beagles should always have a white tail or a white-tipped tail. This trait was bred into them by hunters to be able to see the dogs when their heads were to the ground pursuing a scent.
• While the current Queen Elizabeth is know for her fondness of Corgis, Queen Elizabeth I was a beagle fan. Some portraits of her even included her dogs. King James I called her “his dear little beagle”.
• President Lyndon B. Johnson had two beagles in the White House named Him and Her that he would famously (or infamously) hold up by the ears.
• A “Beagle Brigade” was employed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the 1980s to sniff out airport luggage that contained food that could have pests that might be dangerous to crops. Their noses contain about 220 million smell receptors; humans have about 5 million.
• Beagles are notorious overeaters. Their strong sense of smell enables them to find food no matter how carefully it’s stashed away. Get between a beagle and its food at your own risk. A regular amount of exercise is a must for beagles, or they will quickly become obese. Despite their penchant for food, they don’t drool like many other breeds.
• Beagles were bred so their coats would repel water and not attract burrs or other plants while hunting. As a result, they are easy to groom and they don’t have a “dog smell”.
• Because they were bred for hunting rabbits, beagles were often owned in packs to cover more ground. As a result, beagles seek out and enjoy the company of other dogs (and humans, if that’s the best they can find). For reasons undetermined, beagles tend to bond more strongly with women than men.
• Beagles are well represented in our culture. Snoopy, from Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip, is probably the best-known ambassador of the breed, but Odie, Garfield’s pal/nemesis in Jim Davis’s strip is also a beagle. Charles Darwin’s ship on his five-year nature voyage was called the HMS Beagle, an appropriate name for a seeking expedition. The beagle even appears in some of Shakespeare’s works, including Twelfth Night.

Top 7 Alapaha Blue Blood and American Bulldogs

Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog

American Bulldog

Facts about Alapaha blue blood bulldogs

The Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog results from three generations of an old breeding program of PaPa Buck Lane of Rebecca, Georgia, USA. The program started back in the 1800s and was intended to rescue the "plantation dog" of southern Georgia that was nearly extinct. This rare, bulldog-type guard dog descends form Buck Lane's dog named Otto. 

Lana Lou spoke of her granddaddy as always having had an "Otto" about the estate. One Otto was all one needed since these Bulldogs were capable of guard work and woods work. When PaPa Buck was killed by a train in 1943, his Otto proved his undying devotion by constant visitation and guard duty over the grave. Buck Lane's granddaughter, Lana Lou Lane continued the breeding program until she passed away in her sleep on July 20, 2001. 

Like the Plott Hound, this muscular breed is the creation of one American family, and its survival depends upon the nurturing it receives. Originating from English Bulldog stock, this dog's ancestors functioned as cattle and pig herders, but the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog is bred solely for security and companionship. 

The Animal Research Foundation (ARF) was the first all-breed registry to ever recognize the late Ms. Lana Lou Lane's "Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldogs" in 1986. Ms. Lane was an ARF Certified Breeder up and until her passing in 2001, after which time her elderly mother, Mrs. Vivian Lane, took over her business affairs. Later, Mrs. Vivian Lane sold her daughter's kennel.

Facts about the Yellow Labrador Retriever

 There have been some famous Labrador retrievers in the world. One such dog, Endel, is a yellow Labrador retriever that has caught the eye of the media due to his bravery and intelligence. After much training, Endel became an assistance dog for Allen Parton, and ex-Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer, who was in a wheelchair. When Allen was hit by a passing car and knocked out of the wheelchair in 2001, Endel pulled him to the recovery position, covered him with a blanket, retrieved his cell phone and went to a nearby hotel to get someone to come to Allen's aid.

Endel is the recipient of many awards such as the Blue Peter Badge and the PDSA Gold Medal for bravery and dedication to duty. He was also named "Dog of the Millennium" by Dogs Today magazine readers. Endel has many talents such as being able to respond to over one hundred instructions, loading and emptying the washing machine, putting in and removing a card in the ATM machine and putting it back in Allen's wallet. This Labrador is certainly an incredible animal, and a fantastically dedicated pet.

Facts about Short haired chihuahua

No one knows exactly where the Chihuahua came from, but the breed's ancestors are likely the Techichi, a small breed of dog that lived with the Mayans and Toltecs as far back as 8 A.D. Techichis had long-haired coats and were larger than modern-day Chihuahuas. According to D. Caroline Coile's book "Chihuahuas: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training," the Toltecs may have kept Techichis as companions or as a source of food, and later the Aztecs may have elevated the Techichi's status to that of sacred animals used in healing and burial. According to the AKC, it is believed that the Techichi was eventually bred with a small hairless dog, probably the Chinese crested, resulting in today's Chihuahua. Some say the hairless breed was brought across the Bering Strait from Asia, and others say it was brought by Spanish settlers who had contact with China via trade routes. Today's Chihuahua got its name because it was found in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It became popular in Mexico and nearby American states, and became a registered breed in the AKC in 1904.



Chihuahuas may be small, but these tiny packages are chock-full of personality. Classified as a toy breed by the AKC, they are generally bred to be less than 6 pounds (3 kilograms), but every ounce counts. And despite his diminutive size, a Chihuahua will have no problem standing up to (or even acting aggressively toward) much bigger dogs. According to the AKC, Chihuahuas are partial to only one dog breed -- their own.
