Dogs and dog breeds are just like people -- lots of variety, not only in looks but also in character and temperament, exercise and grooming requirements, and lots more. Would you choose a close friend just because s/he looks just like Uncle Charlie's best friend? No way. Here are a couple of suggestions if you're making that decision. First, go to Cindy Tittle Moore's dog FAQ page on "Selecting a Dog Breed" and then go to the interactive breed selector at the iVillage.com site. http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/selecting-a-dog.html Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor What to feed your dog? It isn't just about getting something highly advertised and cheap. No, it's about giving your best friend good health, lots of energy and a long life. How to do that? By feeding a dog food that has the right combination of high quality ingredients, supplementing it with the necessary vitamins and minerals, and providing a delicious chewable treat that is designed to ensure good dental health. How to fill this tall order? With a magic combination -- HealthyPetNet's Life's Abundance Premium Food for Dogs, Advanced Daily Supplement with Phytonutrient Power for Dogs, and Gourmet Dental Treats with Microdent. Together they provide what's needed for your best friend's good health, continuing energy and long life. You can try these three products in the special Straight Poop package (an 8lb. package of the dog food, 30 supplement tablets and 30 dental treats) for only $29.85 (plus shipping and tax).

A cross between a Siberian Husky and a Turkmen jackal, a name hasn't yet been picked for the new breed. It will be interesting to see what other qualities it will have and whether it will be good pet material.
