My favorite is at iVillage.com. It takes you through a series of choices related to size, commitment, compatibility, health and protection, lets you choose how important each of the factors are to you, and then gives you a list of breeds (with pictures) that you might consider. Good stuff, and it might just keep you apartment dwellers from deciding on an Irish Wolfhound or a Great Dane! http://www.ivillage.com/pets/tools/breedselector/ Fetch Link 22222222222222222222222222222222222222 The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH The thermometer has jumped!

But if you can skate, your dog, particulary if she is a breed like my Siberian Husky, Katie, will love going skating with you.

Visit the most fabulous collection of collectibles on the internet at GoCollect.com. This link takes you to the dog collectibles, but there's lots more there (see the links at the bottom of the page to find more on the site). Many are valuable, many are expensive, many are affordable. All are interesting and/or beautiful. I'm particularly fond of the Sandicast dog figures, and I've never seen them on the internet before.
