Can you tell the difference? The Designer Dog breed quiz--can you tell which is which? I got a 28%. Funny how they look so much alike, yet some people have spent hundreds of dollars on a dog they could have just adopted.

I was talking to a family friend in St.John's about buying an house& such& he said I should look into getting a guard dog or two. & Immediately I thought of dogs being kept outside 24/7...& didn't like that& told him& he said no it's not like that at all& he said that the dogs he kept in his...

Happy Easter everyone ! This is my first post so be gentle with me ! After losing my beloved dog over 6 weeks ago I am now starting to consider another one as I miss having one so badly. My husband can be slightly allergic to dogs and we need a small dog to match our house & garden, so we...

Hi, I was told about Paw Talk from a friend from Pigeon Talk, a forum very similar to this. I have a real soft spot for Siamese and other kitties, though I will help out and rescue any baby that needs my help with the exception being snakes. No offense, but they absolutely scare me to death...
