Originally, Bulldogs were used by farmers to drive cattle to market, and also to compete in a grisly sport called bull baiting. Unlike their ancestors, Bulldogs of today are gentle, playful creatures who love being with children. They are not very active dogs at all, and are more than happy to take a short walk every day, and spend a lot of their time sleeping.
German Shepherds are one of the most popular breeds all over the world. Their courage and devotion are unmatched, and they excel at just about anything they are trained to do. Exceptionally versatile, this breed is used in a wide variety of tasks, such as drug detection, search and rescue, herding, as guide and assistance dogs for the handicapped, as well as military and police service.
Apart from being excellent working dogs, the German Shepherd is one of the most loving and loyal canine companions around.
You might not worry about your dog when it's hot, but heatstroke can absolutely affect dogs, and it can be very dangerous - even fatal. We've got all the basic information you need to know about heatstroke in dogs right here.
Siberian Huskies, with their thick, luxurious coats that come in a wide range of colours and markings, are absolutely beautiful. Their facial masks, and either blue or multi-coloured eyes, add greatly to the appeal of the breed, and it is easy to understand why so many people are attracted to their wolf-like looks.
