Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

10-Month-Old Dog Who Was Hit In Face Several Times Now Searching For Family

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, May 2014 issue. In judging the Siberian Husky, the first thing to remember is his job: carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances in a very cold climate. The essence of breed type for the Siberian includes all of the characteristics required of an athletic, endurance sled dog. Standing back to form that initial impression of the dog, the judge should be asking if the length of the dog is slightly longer than the dog is tall; if there is slightly more daylight under the dog than the apparent depth of the body; if the dog has well laid-back shoulders and matching angles in the rear; if the neck is well arched and of sufficient length; if the topline is strong and level; if there is a slope to the croup and a well set-on tail; if the head is in balance and pleasing; if the coat does not obscure the outline of the dog.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, February 2014 issue. In judges’ circles, we often hear that winning dogs stand out as they enter into the ring. In Leonbergers, the same often holds true. We see some of the important elements of breed type first; large size, proud head carriage with black mask and calm, confident demeanor. Once the class lines up, the silhouette of the breed is vital to the correct Leonberger type. Several elements are highlighted in the general appearance section of the standard. Let’s examine these elements one-by-one.

Judging the Leonberger

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, September 2014 issue. The Shih Tzu is a “big dog in a little package.” In the United States, where the breed standard calls for a weight of 9 to 16 pounds, the Shih Tzu is classified as a toy breed, but in many other countries, it is in the Non-Sporting or Utility group. Whatever its size, a proper Shih Tzu should be sturdy and well-boned. If you pick it up, it is likely to be deceptively heavy for its size, with heavy bones, good spring of rib, and a broad, deep chest. From what we know of the breed’s history, it has always been thus. There is no evidence of a so-called “imperial gene,” and breed historian Victor Joris states that the breed in the royal court was similar in size to what is called for in today’s breed standards. Although the origin of the Shih Tzu is shrouded in mystery, it is probably mostly of Tibetan origin. Along with such breeds as the Lhasa Apso, Tibetan Terrier, and Tibetan Spaniel, it is one of a group of small, shaggy Oriental breeds classified as “lion dogs” and considered sacred in Buddhism.

How long do dogs live? We checked with a vet

Life is not particularly kind to stray dogs. Many times, they are either abused or outright ignored when they ask for help. That is why many of them live recluse lives as far away from other humans as possible. This paints a very bleak picture about us, but it’s not always so bad.

If shelter dogs could talk, we’re pretty sure they’d have a common answer regarding the hardest part of being a shelter resident: watching visitors walk past them as though they don’t exist. One such dog experiencing this heartbreaking reality is Norman, a 4-year-old Terrier Mix currently at the Miami-Dade Animal Services. Norman isn’t like the rest of the shelter dogs, and that’s because he’s one of the longest residents there.
