Welcome to Crazy for Dogs!

Sirius of the Week

Suede is a lab mix, who lives with her person-dad and person-mom, brother, sister, and two cats and a Chihuahua-rat-terrier mix puppy, Stevie. A co-worker of Suede's person-dad found her and 3 other puppies abandoned on the side of the road.

Suede likes riding in the car, going for walks and playing with squeaky toys. Her humans are training her to catch frisbees and to fetch. She also likes sleeping next to her dad.

Beware of Internet Puppy Scams: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people have been sending emails offering to sell pedigree puppies (bulldogs, pugs, and others). Similar phony websites are also on the web. These emails and websites are fake. They are designed to cheat you out of your money either by never sending you the puppy or by sending you a different dog from what you paid for. Your best bet: If you want a purebred, contact a local breed-specific rescue group. Or if you just want a new best friend, save a life from your local animal pound.

Some Dog Facts

  • Hounds are hunting dogs. Some hounds hunt by sight (sighthounds like Greyhounds); others use their noses on the ground to follow their target (Beagles and Bloodhounds, for example).
  • The Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier originated in Ireland where it was a hunder, guard dog, and herder.
  • "Setter" = A type of dog that has long hair and that freezes when it spots game, only moving when commanded to flush out the game.
  • "Mantle" = The dark hair on the shoulders, back, and sides.
  • Dogs are members of the Canidae family, which also includes wolves and jackals.
  • Between 4 and 6 months, puppies begin to get their adult teeth.
  • In the wild, a mother dog's pack-mates, possibly her own mother, or sisters, but any female, will help her with the puppies, and bring her food. A domesticated dog has a human pack to help.
  • The most popular signal a dog uses for play is the "play-bow", in which the dog lowers its front half, while keeping its rear end high in the air.
