His heavy lumbering pes looked to be twice the moderate-sized of what any ft on some dog ought to live....and the weeping flopping lower jawbones and cockling flaps of scramble which careened and curled beneath his mentum as he sick were a deal to behold. Broad pelts of slobber dripped from his jowls as he borne...more
Growing up in my house often felt like living in a zoo. We had a whole menagerie of animals--dogs, cats, birds, snakes, hamsters, gerbils--there are too many to even list. We loved our pets, and now that me and my siblings are grown, we still have our own critters. But having so many animals over the years meant we also learned about the pain of loss. We experienced the death of so many of them, but the worst of it came when we had to decide to...more
A large dog rustic dog seen speedily weaving in and out between the cattle to bring a runaway back to the herd would be an impressive sight. Obviously, the dog has the courage of an outstanding herding dog. Fawn, grey or brindled short smooth fur covers the dog's muscular square shaped body. Unlike other herders, this dog has a larger body but the size is not an impediment that cause the dog to be less agile. In fact its elegant and efficient herding ability is seldom seen in other herding dogs. This very rare breed that is seldom seen outside Portugal is the Azores Cattle Dog.The Azores Cattle Dog has always been viewed as an important aide in herding unmanageable herds of cattle. Sao Miguel, the largest among the Azorean Islands was covered with dense vegetation during the 15th century. To take advantage of the thick and rich vegetation, the sailors of Prince Henry have decided to let loose cattle on the fringes of the island. In fourteen years, the cattle that were left on the island have flourished and grown into unmanageable herds. To take the issue in hand, it was decided that a breed of dog with excellent herding qualities must be developed.The Azores Cattle Dog also known...more

Dogs do not sweat the way we humans do. To deal with the heat, humans make use of a very important method - sweating. By sweating, excess heat is released from the body when the moisture on the surface of the skin evaporates. This is not so with our furry friends. There is a misconception that dogs do not have the capability to produce sweat. It is commonly believed that because of the fur, dogs cannot sweat. It is highly possible that even people that have had dogs for years have not seen one sweating. Dogs have very few sweat glands and these sweat glands are mostly located at the pads on their feet. Contrary to the belief, dogs do sweat. During hot days the floor will be marked by the dog's paws dampened with sweat.How do dogs manage the heat? Dogs bark and dogs pant. Panting is the dog's unique cooling system that prevents the brain from overheating and effecting the circulation of cooler blood to all parts of the body. Not much energy is needed by a dog to pant. A dog only has to hang out the tongue and its own cooling system will start to work. The tongue therefore plays a very important role on how a dog manages the heat.The dog's few sweat glands are ineffective in cooling...more
