Picking the Right Dog for You and Your Family
Ron Hines DVM PhD 6/6/03 - email@example.com
Please remember that this article was written by a veterinarian. People tend to bring me sick, problem animals , not healthy, animals - so my outlook and experience with dogs will not be the same as yours. Also, you probably did not have your physician pick your wife or husband.
Love is not dependent on good health or temperament. That said, my favourite family dog is a black Labrador retriever. When I was a kid, it was easier to choose a dog because so few of the new breeds were available. Labs represented the working breeds dogs that were bred for a cheerful nature, outgoing personality good health and a love of children.
They had relatively few breed-specific illnesses; they were not subject to skin problems and were relatively plentiful on the market. These breeds also strongly imprint their positive traits when bred to another race of dog. Another breed that share similar attributes to Labradors are the golden retrievers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and boxers.
Dogs personalities are highly influenced by their family genetics. That is, the most important factor in obtaining a loving pet is that it was bred from a dame and a sire that had these characteristics. This is why it is so terribly important that you choose your puppy after observing both the puppies parents.
If the breeder will not let you spend time with both parents, do not purchase that puppy! This is why you must never purchase a dog through a third party such as a pet shop.
A conscientious breeder will be more than willing to introduce you to the puppys parents. All puppies look cute, but they will grow into adults whose temperament and health are quite like their parents.
If a parent is aloof, shy, aggressive, fearful, dominant or submissive, hyperactive, mentally dense, or forgetful then the puppy will grow up to share these traits. The same goes for a dogs health. If a parent has bone or joint disease, allergic skin disease, bad teeth and gums, ear infections, eye problems, separation anxiety, destructive behavior, tender feet (cutting toe nails), oily musty skin odor, coprophagy, liver, heart or kidney disease, bladder stones, asthma, fatty tumors, poor physique or coordination, umbilical and other hernias or another disease, then the puppy is at least ten times as likely to inherit these problems than a puppy from healthier parents.
Important but less so is the generalized temperament of the bred of dog you select. It is easy to fall in love with a puppy the instant you see it. Often the weakest pups in the litter are the most appealing. But remember, you will have 12-18 years with this animal a member of your family.
Do you want the vet bills that puppy will generate? Do you want the family tension it may provide? Do you want the guilt associated with owning a sickly pet?
These are the reasons I never suggest a child be taken puppy shopping. It is a decision best left to the most practical member of your household.
I also do not recommend buying a puppy for as a present for special occasions such as Christmas and birthdays. Christmas and birthdays pass but the puppy becomes a dog and remains with you. So when you go puppy hunting, spend more time with the parents of the pups than with the pups themselves.
Once you decide you would be happy with either parent, begin looking at the pups. Do not pick puppies from a litter where the first half have already been sold and left the premises. The best pups usually sell first.
Do not buy puppies from a bitchs first litter ideally it will be her third litter by the same stud and you can visit some pups from her first two litters. You are never certain how they will turn out. Do not buy the largest or smallest puppy in a litter.
Look for litter size generally the more puppies in a litter the healthier they will be. So when you have satisfied yourself on these general points, start looking at the pups themselves. I generally keep some cockleburs in my pocket that I can stick on the puppies I like to find again.
Look for puppies that are playful and curious about your presence not forlorn and apathetic. The puppy should come up to you and begin to play. It should be clean. There should be no fleas or tapeworm segments on the pup.
The owner should willingly supply the name of her veterinarian and satisfied customers from prior litters. Look at the general cleanliness of the operation. Dont pay attention to awards, show circuit medals, excuses for problems (her skin broke out yesterday because she got into some fire ants etc). The puppy should remain calmly in you arms for thirty to sixty seconds and not attempt to squirm away.
The puppy should not vocalize, nip or scratch because you are holding it. Do not buy or accept a free puppy from anyone who apologizes for its behaviour by stating that it or its parents were abused.
Abuse does not account for an animals innate traits. Some of the most loving puppies and dogs at your humane society came from atrocious conditions. Breeding animals should not be a profitable business.
If it is, it is because the owners are scrimping on something, quality diet, breeding a bitch too often, breeding dogs whose health or temperament is undesirable, ignoring medical conditions, buying their drugs at a feed store and administering them themselves, or going to the El Cheapo veterinarian that all communities have.
Because most of these puppy mill operations are seedy, their owner often try to wow you with brick-a-brack shelves of trophies and long A.K.C. pedigrees on their dogs.
I personally would not want a pet that would stand motionless for hours on a table before a group of dog judges. Paradoxically, breeders refer to their cull puppies as being of pet quality and of lesser value that show quality stock.
I would not purchase anything from a breeder who shows this attitude. I particularly like to find breeders that still work their dogs in the dogs traditional role. Such as field trial Labradors, and working breeds that still work in the area they were intended.
Show judges never look for the signs of a quality pet. They judge based on arbitrary, perfidious and trendy criteria that are often antithetical to good health and temperament.
I am going to make a pitch now for adopting your next young dog from your local SPCA/RSPCA.
First, what you see is what you get. Dogs that have their permanent fangs halfway down are approximately 6 months of age. By then, the cuteness of puppy hood has worn thin and you will see the dog you will end up with.
I would insist that the shelter allow you to have a pre-adoption examination by a veterinarian of your choice. I would disregard most information provided to you by the shelter their job is to place all animals in homes so that they are not destroyed.
Their job is not to find the best pet for your household. I have looked through some of my books and surfed the Internet to find you a list of dog breeds. Generally, the rarer the breed, the more subject it is to health concerns.
This is because the gene pool of these rare breeds is quite small. That is they are all inbred and closely related. They are often plagued by the same inbreeding-related diseases that plague small human communities such as the Amish. My list does not include all dog breeds. But it gives you a good starting point for your search.
Asiatic Terriers :
These dogs generally have loving personalities. I personally do not find them as intelligent as non-Asiatic terriers but then people do not have pets for their intelligence and their owners love them dearly. My biggest concern with this group is that their life span is often shorter than other terriers (10-13 years) and that virtually all of them go blind. They also have a higher than normal propensity for ear infections and seborrheic dermatitis.

Japanese Chin The Japanese Chin is a small, well balanced, lively, aristocratic toy dog with a distinctive Oriental expression. It is light and stylish in action. The plumed tail is carried over the back, curving to either side. The coat is profuse, silky, soft and straight. The dog's outline presents a square appearance. A sensitive and intelligent dog whose only purpose is to serve man as a companion. Responsive and affectionate with those it knows and loves but reserved with strangers or in new situations.
Guard Dogs:
The German shepherd is one of the most intelligent of dogs. When purchasing one of these breeds, try not to obtain a pup from parents that are too large. Play close attention to the gait of the parents because all of these breeds have a tendency to hip displasia. Some of these dogs have aggressive temperaments that make them undesirable as pets. Chow Chows, Akitas, Great Danes and large Rottweilers are not known for their long lifespan. With the exception of Danes and Alsatians, these dogs are also prone to eyelid defects.
Be sure to check the parents eyes for mattering, inflammation squinting and infection and ask if corrective eyelid surgery was performed on either parent. Be sure the parents hair coats are glossy, no bald patches are present and the coat is odor free.

Great Dane (Duitse Dog)
Chow Chow
Fighting Dogs
This is a perplexing group of dogs to comment on. The majority of them are loving pets with adults and children. The problem is that when they go awry, there are exceptionally dangerous because when they bite, they lock their jaws and will not release. They also have the inclination to lose their loving nature when they enter a pack of dogs more aggressive than themselves.
Exceptions are boxers bulldogs and Bostons who seem to have lost their fighting and negative traits. Do not purchase puppies when either parent is aloof or distrusting! Do not purchase them from owners who fight their dogs. If you purchase one of these breeds, accept the fact that it may never get on well with other dogs and may eat cats, birds, etc.

Guard Dogs
These dogs are just what their name implies. They guard you and your children from perceived threats by biting. A good-tempered dog of this class will differentiate the mailman, garbage man your guests, relatives, your childrens wild playmates and veterinarian from burglars, unfortunately some make the wrong decision.
You need to be strongly assertive and in charge with these breeds so they look to you for decisions regarding strangers. If your wife or husband is passive or submissive to dogs, do not purchase one of these breeds. Passive or submissive people rarely overcome this problem by attending dog obedience school.

Argentinian Dogo (Dogo Argentino, Argentinian Mastiff) The Dogo Argentino is also called the Argentinian Mastiff or Argentine Dogo. It is a muscular, yet graceful dog of mastiff stock with very strong jaws, and a short, sleek, glossy white coat. The skull is massive and the jaws are strong and tenacious..
The Argentine Dogo is an excellent guardian of the home. Loyal to the family, playful and intelligent. It is good with children and loves to cuddle with those the family accepts. Dogos are easy to train. This is a highly intelligent, powerful dog who needs a firm and consistent but loving hand. Adult Dogos can be aggressive with other dogs.
This is not a breed for everyone. Breeders should work with prospective owners to match the dog with the household. This white mastiff needs early socialization with other animals. It also requires early obedience training.
Epagneul Francais Not well known outside of France, they make ideal companions being docile and friendly although wary of strangers. 23" and 50 pounds with slightly feathered liver marked white coat.
Chinese Foo Dog Every legend is based on fact; every myth is grounded in truth. A spitz-type dog discovered as an extant breed after having long been considered extinct is that of the Chinese Foo Dog, or Sacred Dog of Sinkiang, also known as the Chinese Choo Hunting Dog, Chinese Temple Forest Dog, Chinese T'ien Kou (Chinese Celestial Dog), or Chinese Lung- Kou (Chinese Dragon Dog).
The theory has been advanced that the Chinese Foo Dog originated through a crossing of Northern European hunting dogs and that of the ancient Chow Chow from the barren steppes of Mongolia. Another belief is that the Chinese Foo Dog is perhaps the missing link between that of the Chinese Wolf and the Chow Chow.
Giant Breeds
I consider any operation with over six females of these breeds being bred once a year as being disreputable and would not purchase from them. I particularly like breeders that work their dogs in field trials, search and rescue, etc. Giant breeds that do not come from puppy mills or through pet shops tend to have wonderful personalities.
The size of these dogs can make a poor choice in a puppy quite dangerous. Be sure that the parents are not aggressive! My biggest concern with giant breeds that that they age so rapidly, reach senility sooner than smaller breeds and have such an abbreviated life span. If this doesnt bother you, purchase one.

Greater Swiss Mountain Dog The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Grosser Schweizer
Sennenhund) is the largest of the four Swiss Sennenhund breeds, the others
being the Berner (Bernese Mountain Dog), Appenzeller and Entlebucher. Historically,
the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog assisted farmers and herdsmen with daily chores,
such as pulling carts and keeping a watchful eye over livestock. Today the
Swissy, as it is known to its friends, is primarily a family dog, though the
working dog aptitude remains strong. As a family pet, the Swissy is noted
for its gentle nature, great loyalty, and wonderful disposition toward children.
Bernese Mountain Dog
Miscellaneous Toy Breeds
These are all intelligent, loving breeds with a propensity to become spoiled rotten. More than half my clients sleep with their toy breeds and most share their meals with their owners. They make wonderful companions but will take advantage of you if you let them. They quickly learn the limits and borders of their behavior and generally mature out they way you offer them.
American Hairless
Pomeranian (Dwergkeeshund)
Maltese (Maltezer)
Papillon (Vlinderhondje)
Miniature Poodle (Poedel)
Toy Poodle (Poedel)
Keeshound The national dog of Holland. Temperament is of primary importance. The Keeshond is neither timid nor aggressive but, instead, is outgoing and friendly with both people and other dogs. The Keeshond is a lively, intelligent, alert and affectionate companion.
Chinese Crested The Hairless variety has hair on certain portions of the body: the head (called a crest), the tail (called a plume) and the feet from the toes to the front pasterns and rear hock joints (called socks). The texture of all hair is soft and silky, flowing to any length.
Placement of hair is not as important as overall type. Areas that have hair usually taper off slightly. Wherever the body is hairless, the skin is soft and smooth. Head Crest begins at the stop and tapers off between the base of the skull and the back of the neck.
Hair on the ears and face is permitted on the Hairless and may be trimmed for neatness in both varieties. Tail Plume is described under Tail. The Powderpuff variety is completely covered with a double soft and silky coat.
Close examination reveals long thin guard hairs over the short silky undercoat. The coat is straight, of moderate density and length. Excessively heavy, kinky or curly coat is to be penalized. Grooming is minimal-consisting of presenting a clean and neat appearance.
These are very intelligent and very emotional and active dogs. They tend to good health but may be snappy around children.
They do not do well when both owners work and the dog is forced to spend its days alone. They tend to have good coats with minimal oil and a minimum of breed-related diseases.

Pointers are often kept by owners who hunt them. Hunters tend to be practical people who do not put up with bad behavior or poor health. If you can, purchase from a hunter, hunting club or field trial aficionado. Pointers are not the worlds most intelligent dogs, but they go the extra mile to please their owners and are loving and affectionate.
German Pointer (Deuch Staande Hund)
English Pointer (Engelse Pointer)
Portugese Pointer (Perdigueiro)
Scent Hounds
The same general points that were made for Pointers apply to Scent Hounds. These are hunting dogs that follow the scent or spoor of game. Unless purchased from hunting sources, they tend to have more allergic skin diseases than other breeds so be sure that both parents are over 2.5 yrs old and have good coats. They tend to be very vocal so be sure your neighbors are either deaf or understanding.
Basset Hound

The Drever is a quite new breed. The breed was approved in Norway not too many years ago, and there haven't been a lot of these small dogs until lately. The Drever has a lot in common with it's "cousins", the Basset, The Beagle and of course the Dachs.
If I should describe these races in one, I would describe them like this : Short legs, big body, strong built, and a lot, a lot, of dog. The Dachsbracke, a German dog which there is not many left of now, I think, is the "father" of these dogs.
A lot of experimenting with blood and genes and of course hard work in later years to give the breed it's appearance and standards, has been successful. The Drever is the kind of dog all roedeer hunters need. But not only is it a hell of a roedeer hunter.
With this dog you can hunt anything from hare to deer. And that is the reputation is has got over the last years; a combination-dog. But has also gained another reputation; aggression. This I have not noticed. Viggo is the kind of dog who lies on the sofa all day, but is still a "killer" in the forest.
These are exceptionally intelligent, long-lived and desirable pets. They shed very little and do not have oily coats.
Certain lines do have more allergic skin disease and allergies to vaccinations than dogs in general. So be sure to check the status of both parents. They tend to be closely attuned to their owners. When the owners are nervous or depressed, these dogs will be too.
Miniature Schnauzer (Dwergschnauzer)
Standard Schnauzer (Middenslag Schnauzer)
Giant Schnauzer (Riesenschnauzer)
Because setters are used to flush game birds, they tend to be hyperactive. This is not a problem if you are a setter or spaniel person. There is just a lot of tugging at the leash, jumping up on the owners and slobbering going on. Setters, pointers and spaniels have similar intelligence. They have slightly more that the average number of allergic skin complaints. Some of these skin problems are food allergies but more relate to dusts and pollens in the air. They require a lot of skin care and grooming.
Irish Setter
English Setter
Gordon Setter
Sight Hounds
These tend to be happy, affectionate, non-aggressive pets. The long-haired varieties such as Afghans, require a lot of grooming time. Many result from small show-circuit gene pools so the health of the parents is doubly important. Of the group, greyhounds obtained as racing culls have the best health and sweetest nature.

Borzoi (Russian Wolf Hound)

Pharo Hound (Pharao Hond)
Saluki Azawakh Attenuated, dry, elegant, and intense, this African hound of ancient Asiatic origin has been molded by time, a harsh desert environment, and the hand of man into an animal of unique physical, mental, and aesthetic qualities.
Historically these qualities have allowed him to serve three distinct and often inextricably interrelated purposes: as a protector of stock, herdsmen, and camp, as a swift and efficient courser, and as a functional and highly ornamental status symbol, though not necessarily in this order. In his native region, an area approximately the size of France situated in the Sahara and the sub-Saharan Sahel of the postcolonial countries of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, he is raised today principally by the Tuareg* nomads, a Caucasian ethnicity of Berber descent.
Ibizan Hound The Ibizan's clean-cut lines, large prick ears and light pigment give it a unique appearance. A hunting dog whose quarry is primarily rabbits, this ancient hound was bred for thousands of years with function being of prime importance. Lithe and racy, the Ibizan possesses a deerlike elegance combined with the power of a hunter. Strong, without appearing heavily muscled, the Ibizan is a hound of moderation. With the exception of the ears, he should not appear extreme or exaggerated.
In the field the Ibizan is as fast as top coursing breeds and without equal in agility, high jumping and broad jumping ability. He is able to spring to great heights from a standstill.
See my comments on setters. Spaniels are quite like setters. They do tend to suffer from chronic ear infections so check both parents out for reddened, musty-smelling or discolored ear canals. Again, the rarer spaniels have small gene pools which makes them more susceptible to genetic diseases.

Like schnauzers, these are exceptionally intelligent, long-lived and desirable pets. They shed very little and do not have oily coats. Also like schnauzers, certain lines do have more allergic skin disease and allergies to vaccinations than dogs in general. They also seem to have a greater incidence of epilepsy. So be sure to check the status of both parents. They tend to be closely attuned to their owners. When the owners are nervous or depressed, these dogs will be too. Most of mine have trained their owner into giving them people rather than dog food. These dogs will loose their teeth and develop strong bad breath unless you brush their teeth or have a veterinarian clean them every year.

Irish Tgerrier (Terrier) The temperament of the Irish Terrier reflects his early background: he was family pet, guard dog, and hunter. He is good tempered, spirited and game.
It is of the utmost importance that the Irish terrier shows fire and animation. There is a heedless, reckless pluck about the Irish Terrier which is characteristic, and which, coupled with the headlong dash, blind to all consequences, with which he rushes at his adversary, has earned for the breed the proud epithet of "Daredevil."
He is of good temper, most affectionate, and absolutely loyal to mankind. Tender and forbearing with those he loves, this rugged, stout-hearted terrier will guard his master, his mistress and children with utter contempt for danger or hurt. His life is one continuous and eager offering of loyal and faithful companionship and devotion. He is ever on guard, and stands between his home and all that threatens.
Norfolk Terrier
Bedlington Terrier
Upland Retrievers
Because these dogs are still often hunted, their general health and temperaments are good. They have great stamina, mellow dispositions and make great pets.
Drentsche Patrijshond (Dutch Partrige Dog)
Water Retrievers
Like the upland retrievers, they are often still hunted so their general health and temperaments are good. I would not purchase any of these dogs from show breeders they are selecting for the wrong traits. The exception would be the Standard Poodle because these are rarely hunted.

My suggestion is that anyone living south of Kansas purchase only shorthaired dogs. Many of these breeds were bred for cold climates. They suffer greatly in my portion of Florida.
A second alternative that few of my clients accept is to have the dogs sheared three times a year. Dalmatians can be shy and distrusting so check their parents out well. All these breed really try to please their owners. They are quite intelligent but do not live as long as the terriers.

Appenzeller Mountain Dog (Cattle Dog) A strong, medium size dog with a weight of about 60 lbs. Short, tight dense and shiny coat, Black with tan and white markings.
Characteristically for this breed is the seideways over the croup curly rolled tail. (das Posthoernchen) (The post horn). Very agile and demanding. Originaly bred for herding and driving big cattle herds. A dog for active people. They still need a meaningful purpose. Appenzeller and couch potatoes dont fit together. He is ok in house and garden, but his dream is a farm. With his eagerness to learn he is easy to train as a companion and work dog. He loves "Breitensport" and agility. A dog that should keep his attributes to fully develop his personality. Anyone who wants an Appenzeller should have some dog experience
Finnish Lapphound There are actually three breeds of Lappish dogs. Finnish Lapphound and Lapponian Herder are from Finland. "Lapphund", Swedish Lapphound is from Sweden. The breed association in Finland for all Lappish dogs is Lappalaiskoirat ry. Lappish breeds are very versatile, healthy and long-living dogs compared to many other breeds. The oldest dog in Finland (by the Finnish Kennel Club, Koiramme-magazine 6/96) was Finnish Lapphound male FIN CH Peski Surbmi that lived almost 20 years old!
His son was at least back then alive, he was quite aged too - 18 years. Lappish breeds are also the part of both our national and Lappish culture. Healthy, beauty and versatility are all in one.
By their primitively they remind us of the brisk wind in the fields of Lapland and Lappish mythology... They are unique and as unique they are worth treasuring. Lappish dogs are still working as reindeer- or for example sheep herders, even though they are formed more and more into pets by development.
As pets and yard dogs they mostly are seen today. After all, they are great pets, but it should be remembered what purpose they were originally bred to. These breeds are originally working dogs, and because of that they are not suitable only as "coach dogs".
That is why we enthusiasts and breeders hope, that they who own these dogs, would be interested in some kind of activity and at the same time, would make their breed positively noted in every possible ways. We would also love to sell our puppies to the active families.
Belgian Turveren 55-70 pounds 24-26 inches (male) 22-24 inches (female Prone to hip and eyelid problems
Bouvier de Flanders The legacy of the Bouvier has produced many admirable qualities in this breed. He is a square, powerfully built dog, rugged and formidable in appearance. His harsh double coat protects him in all types of weather; his keen sense of smell and watchful gaze make him a most suitable farm dog. (He thrives on plenty of room to work and exercise, but he is not an "outdoor dog"; he must live with his loving people -- his "flock," his "pack".)
He is agile, alert and intelligent, with character of great spirit and fearlessness; yet, he is serene in disposition, and has an even temperament. Today, the Bouvier des Flandres acts as a farm dog, family friend, protector, shepherd, and guide dog for the blind or hearing impaired. His intelligence, sense of threat discrimination and keen scent qualifies many Bouviers to excel in police work, tracking and drug detection. Owning a bouvier, like many dogs, requires patience, love, a lot of grooming, a willingness to exercise the dog and pay for regular health care, a desire to have a companion who follows you around the house keeping an eye on you, and a commitment to complete at least one set of good obedience classes.
Sheepdog Herders
Again, many of these dogs have long, oily hair coats, which are unsuitable for hot climates. All the sheepdogs are very active and attune to their owners. They love to please. They are inquisitive and brave. They make excellent pets for children worrying about them constantly as they formerly worried about the sheep in their charge. Do not pick puppies from parents that are oversized or near the maximum allowable size for the breed.

Akbash The part of the world currently occupied by Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran is believed to be where humans first lived in sufficient numbers to form civilizations. The fossil record shows that this large dogs (large for their time, anyway) appeared almost concurrently with domesticated flocks of animals, suggesting that livestock protection dogs were among the first types of dogs. A reasonable hypothesis would be that early shepherds crossed guarding or war dogs, which were probably similar to the mastiffs of today, with a sight hound-like ancestor, something like today's whippet or greyhound, to produce a fleet-footed, strong, protection dog.
Australian Kelpie It was once said that"Australia rode on the sheeps' back" - referring to the dependency of the Australian economy on the wool industry. Without the Australian Kelpie, Australia may very well have not been so prosperous! Without doubt the Kelpie contributed greatly to the industry - being able to perform the work of several men.
Tireless workers in the hottest and dustiest of climates, the Kelpie has been known to travel more than 50 kilometers in one day. The first sheep grazers in Australia did not use dogs to herd and guard their flocks. These tasks were originally undertaken by convicts or Chinese who were employed as shepherds and sheep were yarded at night.
Following the opening up of vast areas of land in New South Wales and Victoria, the sheep numbers increased so dramatically that some properties were over two million acres and ran over a quarter of a million sheep! In areas as extensive as these, shepherding was impractical and wire fences were erected and sheep were left to run free.
It was now necessary to have dogs to handle sheep in such large areas. Like so many breeds, the origins of the Kelpie are disputed.
Karelian Bear Dog The Karelian Bear Dog was used mainly for hunting small furbearers, such as squirrels and marten. Where available, three were also helpful in bird hunting and, of course, in the moose and bear hunting. It was the Eurasian brown bear, which is big and as aggressive as the American grizzly bear is. Actually, these dogs never fight dealing with the bear.
This is a quick and well-coordinated predator and this kind of hunting is very demanding and requires great courage, aggressiveness and agility of the dog. The dog must keep bear preoccupied by attacking him from behind.
Usually a pair of well working and raised together dogs do the best job. Their protection against the bear cannot be achieved by fighting. Nothing will stop an angry bear. But the dog may be brave and quick enough to make a lot of noise and keep the bear busy enough to allow enough time for the master either to retreat or to kill the bear.
Every Karelian Bear dog (=Russo-European Laika) will tree squirrels and other fur bearing game. They are good for coon and bobcat hunting here, in the USA. However, bear and moose hunting is more demanding and some dogs may be better than others. Dogs start naturally, learn on the job and may improve their performance with age and depending on the preferences of the hunter. Unlike hounds, these dogs do not chase very far, they work with the hunter and for him in close range, chase the game silent and fast and bark with it is treed or bayed.
Briards This is a dog of heart, with spirit and initiative, wise and fearless with no trace of timidity. Intelligent, easily trained, faithful, gentle, and obedient, the Briard possesses an excellent memory and an ardent desire to please his master.
He retains a high degree of his ancestral instinct to guard home and master. Although he is reserved with strangers, he is loving and loyal to those he knows. Some will display a certain independence has a strong character and is happiest leading a busy, active life. This big dog thinks for himself, so training may take patience. Like most r human.

The GOP sister tag team of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann has been awarded the Most Valuable Putz Prize by the Nobella Pizza Prize Committee.
Sarah Palin on the road to nowhere.
Michelle Bachmann for President.
The surprise announcement came today from the committee's hideout in Pasta Fagioli, Italy. The award was unexpected because both women have won previously. Bachmann won a Putzie in history for her statement that the American Revolution began in the New Hampshire towns of Lexington and Concord. She quickly corrected herself and blamed the entire incident on a Teleprompter error.
Palin won the Schmuckup Prize in geography for her discovery of the location of the continent of Africa. "Somewhere on the planet Earth," she is reported to have said. The committee felt that was close enough and awarded the former beauty queen the geography prize.
The committee gave today's prize to the Lipstick Duo for their perseverance toward a goal for which both women are openly lusting. They want to be the first female president of United States.
The drive of this duo has been remarkable in the face of insurmountable obstacles not the least of which is that the payoff money boys would never buy the office for a woman.
The big boys in the GOP are arch conservatives who believe women were put on this earth to do their chores and run errands. And that's exactly how they intend to treat our Lipstick Duo.
And why shouldn't they. After all that's how they treated Obama and also Bush and Clinton before him. Why should the ladies be any different?
Of course the big money can smoke cigars with the male presidents whose offices they pay for and maybe that makes a difference.
So in its award letter, the committee offered this piece of advice to the two women: Start smoking cigars.
In any case, the Putzie goes to these two brave, if slightly flighty, heroines of the GOP.
Winners of the MVP award receive a statuette named the Pubar engraved with the words "putzed up beyond all reason." Known as the Putzie the statuette is made of rusted metal stolen from an auto junk yard. The Putzie is given while supplies last and unfortunately for the current winners supplies just ran out.

When comparing TripExpert vs Wikitravel, the Slant community recommends Wikitravel for most people. In the question"What are the best sites for discovering attractions in your travel destination?" Wikitravel is ranked 2nd while TripExpert is ranked 6th. The most important reason people chose Wikitravel is:
Rather than give you a long list of all possible attractions, wikitravel lists only the most popular/must see spots. This saves you time when picking out quality attractions.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Only quality attractions are shown
Rather than provide a long list of attractions, TripExperts only show the best attractions in a specific area based on expert reviews. This makes it much faster to find quality attractions, rather than searching through hundreds of less interesting options.
Pro Trustworthy reviewers
Rather than accept reviews from anyone, TripExpert relies on reviews from selected experts and locals.
Pro Overview of the best/most popular attractions
Rather than give you a long list of all possible attractions, wikitravel lists only the most popular/must see spots. This saves you time when picking out quality attractions.
Pro Doesn't look like a marketing pitch
Wikitravel, true to the format of Wikipedia, doesn't have ads, and the content isn't worded in a way that makes readers feel like they're being pitched to go somewhere by a travel agency.
Pro Attractions are separated into a variety of categories
It's easy/quick to find the type of attractions that appeal to you most because of the way they are organized. "See", "Do", "Learn", "Buy" etc..
Con Only shows a few attractions for each destination
They take a "quality over quantity" approach, which results in a much smaller list of attractions than is available on many other similar sites.
Con Uncertain how the quality is checked
Con Can be outdated
Con Limited pictures
There are very few pictures of the destination, with none (in most cases) of specific attractions. If you want to get an idea of what the attraction looks like, you'll need to find images on google or other sites.
Descriptions of each attraction are often only a couple of sentences.

It's back to a familiar date on the calendar for Rochester's favorite after-work run.
The 28th running of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge will be held on Tuesday, May 22 with a 7 p.m. race start in Downtown Rochester. The event had been held in either late May or the first week of June each year from its 1991 founding through 2016.
The 2017 Corporate Challenge was held on Tuesday, July 11. The date change last year was necessary to facilitate the event's move to a Downtown race course. It drew 7,440 participants from 305 companies.
Back in the preferred May event date – while retaining a well-received Downtown course and a beautiful Frontier Field location for post-race hospitality – a capacity crowd of 10,000 entrants is expected. Registration will open on Tuesday, February 27 at www.jpmorganchasecc.com.
In addition to the new date, the race course has also been updated. The starting line will now be on Plymouth Avenue and the 3.5-mile distance will include stretches on Main Street. The finish line will remain on Morrie Silver Way with all post-race activity within adjoining Frontier Field, including fireworks and a concert.
The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge history in Rochester includes 13 years at Highland Park (1991-2003) and 13 more on the campus of Rochester Institute of Technology (2004-16) before its move Downtown last year. The record for number of entrants is 11,118, set in 2008. The overall Championship event for the Series was held in Rochester in 2013.
Rochester is part of the 13-city, seven-country, five-continent J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series. Celebrating its 42nd consecutive year of operation in 2018, the Series is the largest corporate sporting event in the world, with 248,937 entrants from 7,334 companies in 2017. Seven events are held in the United States (including Buffalo and Syracuse) with international races in Australia (Sydney), China (Shanghai), England (London), Germany (Frankfurt), Singapore, and South Africa (Johannesburg).

How to get to Malapascua
Malapascua Island is located in the Philippines
How to get to Malapascua is not that difficult. Therefore we will help you on this page how to get easily and conveniently to Malapascua.
Most people who travel to Malapascua Island come via Cebu city. Mactan International Airport is the closest airport to Malapascua Island.
From Cebu city you can catch a bus, car or a minibus up to the port of Maya. Maya is the take off point for the boats from the mainland to Malapascua. The road between Cebu City and Maya can be rough in places but there's improvement. A lot of construction to improve the road is constantly going on.
The Easy Way
If you would prefer we can arrange a Private Car and Boat Transfer. Consequently we will collect you at the airport or your hotel and bring you to the port of Maya. Here you will transfer to a Private Boat that will bring you directly to Thresher Cove Resort in comfort. In other words, you walk straight from the boat onto our beach and into the resort. Certainly the most convenient way to travel to Malapascua.
Prices can vary for this service so please Contact us for any Inquiries and Bookings.
The Adventurous Way
First of all, take a Taxi to the North Bus Terminal in Cebu City. Once you arrive there you can take the Bus to the Port of Maya.
There are two Bus companies offering trips to Maya. First of all the Ceres Buses are the big yellow ones. You cannot miss them. Make sure you board the ones with AC and Wifi. The difference in price with the non AC buses is marginal. Secondly there are the Rough Riders. They are red and don't have AC or Wifi and can live up to their name.
Cost of the Public Buses from Cebu City to Maya is around 180 PHP. Once you arrive in Maya, go to the little ticket booth at the end of the pier and they will help you get the next Public Boat. There is no fixed boat schedule, some boats wait until they are full before they depart. The last boat usually leaves around 5:30pm. Price for the Public Boat is 100 PHP.
Keep some small change in Pesos as you may need it for the Porters. If it is low tide you will have be transferred via a small flat bottom boat to the Banka Ferry.
The cost for this service is 20 PHP per Person and Per Bag.
Once on Malapascua Island you can walk to Thresher Cove Resort. However, if you decide to take a Motorbike Taxi we will cover the costs.
Whichever way you decide get to Thresher Cove Resort, we wish you a pleasant journey.

Do we need to graft eyelashes?
First, I think that every girl, as well as a woman, can only say that she doesn't look good when she grafts her eyelashes, because it will enlarge her eyes, her eyes are dark, especially fire-eyed, good-looking.
The second point, avoid embarrassed, do not afraid of the wind, do not afraid of water, do not worry about false eyelashes will fall, and compared with sticky false eyelashes, grafting the silk lash extensions should be incomparably natural, and can grafted follow your request .
If you like a thicker styles ,the ellipse flat Korea silk lash extensions can meet all your needs. It is also my favorite fake eyelash.
The common ellipse flat silk lash extensions thickness is 0.15mm. but its softness is comparable to that of 0.07mm in round lash material , and you don't have to worry about the weight. It is like the 0.07mm thickness in round lash material is flattened, its thickness is changed, but the hardness is small and the weight is still constant, so the ellipse flat silk lash extensions wins in both softness and weight. And because the thickness of the flat hair is here, it is easy to create a thick effect.

Disc 1
Jerry Garcia opens the show with a delightful rendition of "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)." It isn't long before the joy is apparent in both the vocals and the playing. Check out Melvin Seals' work. "I want to stop and thank you, baby!" A really good start to the show. The band follows that with "They Love Each Other," and immediately Melvin is making his presence heard. I've always enjoyed this song, its sweet, positive groove, and this is a pretty good version. That's followed by an energetic rendition of "Tough Mama," the first of several Bob Dylan songs played at that show. And man, Jerry is getting into it! Listen to him belt out the lyrics. He then delivers a gorgeous, glorious rendition of "Like A Road Leading Home," with help from backing vocalists Jacklyn LaBranch and Gloria Jones and more great work on keys. This is certainly a highlight of the first set. Jerry follows that with the fun "Run For The Roses." This one feels a bit sloppy, but is still enjoyable.
I love the way "The Way You Do The Things You Do" begins, with bass and drums. Very cool. The band eases into this one, and then rocks us gently, joyfully. This track contains some really good, interesting jamming. That's followed by "My Sisters And My Brothers," in which Jerry reminds us, "Though this world of trouble, we've got to love one another." The first set also includes a really nice version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," featuring some passionate guitar work from Jerry, and some strange stuff on keys toward the end. Then Jerry closes out the set with "Deal."
Disc 2
Jerry Garcia Band kicks off the second set with "The Harder They Come," a song I find myself singing along to, shouting out some lines actually. It's that kind of time, you know? That's followed by a passionate, excellent version of "Forever Young," Jerry's voice sounding so good. This is certainly another highlight of the show. And it seems like everything is working perfectly now, for "Stop That Train," which follows, is also really moving, while simultaneously getting your body active. It features another wonderful vocal performance from Jerry Garcia.
A fun, rockin' "Tore Up Over You" is followed by a powerful "Tears Of Rage." And then Jerry gets folks dancing again with a cover of Los Lobos' "Evangeline," and follows it with a good version of Bruce Cockburn's "Waiting For A Miracle." But it is "That Lucky Old Sun" that is seriously impressive. This is a beautiful, heartfelt, and engaging rendition, with some fantastic vocal work from Jerry, Jacklyn and Gloria, and wonderful stuff from Melvin on keys. This is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard, perhaps the very best. The show then concludes with a seriously energetic rendition of Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue."

Re-introduction email campaign
Through delivery of its Passion Mapping and accreditation programs over the last ten years, plus its global community of Practitioners, Passion Maps built up an extensive network of contacts. Having recently launched a new website and begun publishing a number of online services, Passion Maps needed to reach out to this network to inform them of these exciting developments.
Due to the diversity of this network and the variance in frequency of contact over the years, a "re-introduction campaign" was created to invite network members to explore the new website and subscribe to receive Passion Publications.
Practitioner @ Passion Maps
Passion Maps offers accreditation programs that allow individuals to qualify to become Practitioners. Accreditation programs involve an initial four day training workshop followed by fortnightly teleconference learning and a qualifying practice period over 3 months.
In order to both manage and quality assure this qualifying practice period, Passion Maps required an online business system capable of supporting its global network of qualifying Practitioners.
We created simple and functional application that supported Passion Maps business process management needs. The accreditation qualifying process is now streamlined, reducing Passion Maps administrative load and providing immediate and useful feedback to qualifying Practitioners.
Passion Maps portfolio www.passionmaps.com.au
Since first updating the Passion Maps website in 2008, we now manage the entire Passion Maps web portfolio. This includes the main website, a microsite for The Wisdom of Passion, a web application for quality assuring their global community of practitioners, and daily, weekly and monthly email campaigns for each of their online publications.
Passion Maps value our expertise, advice and can-do attitude- and we love creating customised solutions for them to engage with their community of Practitioners, Mappers and clients.
Passion Publications www.passionmaps.com.au/signup
Passion Maps publishes a range of online services for its subscribers on a daily, weekly and monthly basis: the Daily Passion Quote, Passion Mapper Tips, Passion Resources and the Passion Today E-zine.
Passion Maps required the ability to easily build and deliver these publications to its network while maintaining its professional image and the integrity of its brand.
We evaluated email campaign delivery providers, designed and tested templates for each publication and built interfaces for Passion Maps staff to manage content for the suite of publications. Campaigns can be built, previewed and scheduled for delivery. Automated processes publish this content to MailChimp for delivery to subscribers, providing Passion Maps with access to powerful post-delivery reporting and monitoring of all their campaigns.
David Webster Massage www.webstermassage.com
David offers massage services for select clients in Melbourne, Australia. Running a small, home-based business, David wanted to establish a complementary web presence and co-ordinate the branding and design themes with his business cards.
We designed his new business cards and built a simple and stylish website to match.
Course Resource www.courseresource.com.au
Course Resource connects people with courses from a wide range of disciplines and providers. Providers lodge and manage advertisements for free, while people can search for courses that match their requirements, including location-based searching that helps people find courses in their local area.
We provided planning, design and development services and took an active role in managing the project to deliver functionality in several key releases. We continue to manage Course Resource's hosting, support, monitoring and maintenance.
Bikes De Ver www.bikesdever.com.au
A project can go off the rails for unexpected reasons, leaving it needing to be rescued. The aims of a project rescue are to take stock of where a project is at, and to determine what is required to get it over the finish line.
When Bikes De Ver's new website needed rescuing, we determined what was left to do, outlined a development plan and implemented it. By refactoring existing code and introducing a an MVC framework we were able to improve the future maintainability of the codebase and deliver a vastly improved website quickly and cost effectively.
Course Resource Newsletter
Users of the Course Resource website can register to receive a weekly newsletter. The newsletter is individualised for each recipient, containing courses in their local area that match their interests.
We built subscriber functions that allow people to register and modify their subscription and preferences. The email campaign module itself is completely automated and driven by the content of the website. Each subscriber's newsletter is buildt by searching the database for courses offered in their suburb and slotting the results into an email template.
Anchor BMX www.anchorbmx.com.au
The Anchor is a BMX retail store owned and run by real riders. Anchor BMX has a casual, community-based aesthetic that needs to be reflected in its online presence.
Visiting the store to absorb its smart and crazy vibe, we used this inspiration to create a simple yet fun website that included team profiles, an online product catalogue and a blog. Since then we have added shopping cart and PayPal checkout functionality.

Bernese Mountain Dogs have an easygoing nature and are extremely loyal. They are completely dedicated to their families, create strong bonds with their owners, and are particularly good with children. Berners are known as big lap dogs. If you sit on the ground they will sit on your lap, and if you are standing they will sit on your feet.
Berners are incredibly beautiful dogs with their distinctive tri-colored coats. They thrive in cold weather, and have a double coat that does shed. One of the Swiss mountain dogs, they were originally farm dogs that pulled carts or drove cattle to market. They are intelligent and strong, with a moderate need for exercise. They do very well in therapy work.
Overall, the Berner is one of the shorter-lived dog breeds, with a life expectancy of 6-8 years. Health issues that can affect the Bernese are hip and elbow dysplasia, inherited cancer, heart disease, or epilepsy. We do our best to ensure the health of every dog we breed.
Proper socialization is very important for these naturally cautious and reserved dogs. They can be stubborn, but are sensitive and have a deep need to please their humans. Training a Berner requires patience and a gentle hand.

Okay, if you are able to read this, then that must mean that you somehow "survived" the holidays (smile). As great as the spirit can be sometimes, it can have a tendency to overwhelm you with trying to budget things, keep positive and stay happy. I can guarantee there are people who were not satisfied with gifts they got. There were also people who absolutely loved the gifts they got, and of course, there were people who are satisfied just being alive. The material aspect of it is obvious and has been well established for years. Even though I have heard people complain about it, the spirit of Christmas helps to accomplish a couple of things. For one, it helps to feed the economy. Buying a gift will inject money that is much needed. It should also promote a peaceful environment. If you can't feel the aura of serenity in Christmas then what else could possibly make you feel that way? Finally it brings many smiles to innocent little children. Whether we want to admit it or not, little children often live in their own separate worlds. They don't understand our world the same way that adults do, and the best time to inject love into a child's life is while that child is still "in" that young stage. You see, a child is often a product of his or her surroundings. If a child grows up knowing violence, then chances are that child will be a product of that violence. If a child knows poverty, then that child will be greatly influenced by that poverty growing up. However, if a child is shown love, then that child has the greatest chance of showing love back to others. You can say what you want about Christmas. You can talk about the commercialism, you can talk about how Christ was not even born on Christmas Day, and you can be a disbeliever to your own heart, but as far as I am concerned, anything that helps promote peace to the world will "always" have my backing. I realize that many people who would love to celebrate just don't have money like that. Trust me when I say that I can relate… but in this life there are many things that involve investment of some kind. Rarely does one get something for nothing. What you should get out of the holidays should depend greatly on what you are willing to invest in it. If you expect more than you are willing to give, then you have missed the boat "entirely" on this one. "Life"… and "love"… are what you make it… I hope your holidays are awesome, and I wish you the absolute best that life has to offer.

This is a tough case of intergenerational removal. The Nebraska Supreme Court finds that both ICWA and NICWA apply to non-Indian parents of Indian children as defined by the statutes. The Court also found that NICWA's different language in its active efforts provision, which requires active efforts not just to prevent the break up of the family, but to unite the parent with the Indian child, means the Baby Girl holding does not apply to that provision of state law. However, where NICWA's language is the same as ICWA's regarding "continued custody" in the termination of parental rights section, the Baby Girl holding does apply, and there is no need to find the continued custody of the child will result in serious physical or emotional damage, where the parent hasn't had custody of the child.
While the new federal Regulations, which go into effect next week, are useful for tribes and Native families, state ICWA laws continue to hold the most promise for enforcement of the law in the courts. If your state is contemplating drafting one (either through a tribal-state workgroup, Court Improvement Program, or other mechanism), there are resources and people available to provide research and assistance.

Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
I learned a LOT about the BDSM and kink community. My Obsession is my first book involving those, even though I've written and published several other very erotic books. The main thing I learned was that their motto for their lifestyle – especially for the Dom/sub (D/s) relationship is "Safe, Sane, Consensual" In other words, whatever they are doing must meet those parameters The sub actually has a LOT of power in that equation. They set soft and hard limits beforehand and have safe words they can use to stop everything on a dime! I know we've all heard jokes etc about safe words, but they really are used. And those Doms who ignore them aren't good Doms! By the same token, those Doms who manipulate, guilt or otherwise coerce a sub to go along with what they want are NOT good Doms. Like a lot of people I just figured you pretty much gave up all of your say so if you agreed to be someone's sub. And that a safe word was a last ditch thing, only used in the most extreme circumstances.
I also learned about a whole bunch of kinks and fetishes that I have now added to my "No Way in Hell" list. Everyone has different levels of comfort, and I'm definitely not on the pure "vanilla" side of things, but some of those just make me cringe. I don't want to get into too much detail since I just ate, but one of the big ones that made me shake my head and wonder why the hell anyone allows it is anal fisting. WTH??? If you aren't sure what that is, it's exactly what it sounds like. Someone inserts their entire hand in someone else's anus and then makes a fist and, well….you get the idea. I know friction against the prostate gland for men can be very pleasurable and many women enjoy anal sex, but a fist??? Let's just say, even the biggest guy I've ever been with wasn't as big as an arm and fist!! Makes me cringe just thinking about it. And here's something to think about….THIS was the "tame" one I felt I could write about on here without losing my lunch! That should give you something to think about! As my son always says… "There's a kink out there for absolutely everything. And for each of those things, there are people who get off on it." After all my research, I believe it. But while I've always been considered adventurous by friends, boyfriends and my husband. I'm positively vanilla by some of these standards! I now return you to your PG13 blog post 🙂
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Don't stop to worry about what your Mom, best friend, pastor, grandma etc will think about what you are writing. Just write! You can't have all those "censors"inside your head and still write a good book! Yes, some of you—your views, your true self etc will come across in your book. That's just part of being a writer. But if you aren't being true to yourself, or are just trying to write to please others, you won't be able to write a good book. Also, don't try to write a "best seller"- just write the best damn book you can write. It will find its audience. And just remember that not everyone will love or even like your book. That's okay! They don't have to! And my biggest advice! Get your butt in the chair and write! Every day if possible! Set a schedule and try to stick to it. I usually try to take Sunday's off, but other than that I try to write every day. Now sometimes life gets in the way, but I always build some slack time into my deadline schedule to allow for that.
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I hope this book gives you insight into the fetish/kink lifestyle and also brings you a story about both a woman and a man coming to terms with their past, and opening up to each other enough to trust and love. And yes, Ihope you enjoy some really hot and steamy kink!
What inspired you to write your first book?
I had always wanted to write and for years had dreamed about seeing a book with my name on the spine on the bookshelf at my local bookstore. I had a friend who had psychic gifts and we had several conversations about how it worked, how he experienced things etc. And that kicked my muse into high gear. And because I had read so much science fiction, fantasy and romance. AND I'm a bit twisted…lol!! I came up with a psychic serial killer who preys on women with untapped psychic potential. But when he tries to push open the door to my heroine's psychic powers (which is how he kills), her partial psychic powers that he unleashes are much more powerful than his and she breaks away. Cue the sexy FBI profiler who hides his psychic powers on the job, but who is the best man to protect her. Writing the sex scenes between two people who could read each others' minds was both a challenge and a BLAST!! 🙂
Do you have a specific writing style?
I've been told I do, but I think of my style as a mish mash of styles that I've learned and built up over time. I've written 16 books, and as of the 21st of July I will have published 15 of them. I learn and grow with each and every book, and if you go back and read Into a Dangerous Mind (my first book) and then jump forward to My Obsession, which releases next month, I think you'll see a HUGE difference in writing style. Although I'm pretty sure my writing voice has stayed the same, or at least similar.

FDA Approves Second-Generation Brain Cancer System
The FDA has cleared a premarket approval supplement application for the second-generation Optune system (Novocure). The smaller, lighter Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) delivery system is now available to treat patients with glioblastoma in the United States.
The second-generation Optune system was designed to make treatment with TTFields more convenient and manageable for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The new model features a TTFields generator that is less than half the weight and half the size of the generator in the first-generation Optune system. Including its battery, the second-generation Optune system weighs 2.7 pounds, compared with the first-generation system that weighs 6.0 pounds. Novocure started offering the second-generation Optune system to patients in Germany in October 2015.
The Optune system consists of two main components: an electric field generator (the Optune device) and insulated transducer arrays. In addition, the following components are included in the Optune treatment kit: power supply, portable battery, battery rack, battery charger, connection cable, and carrying case.
The Optune system produces alternating electrical fields within the human body that disrupt the rapid cell division exhibited by cancer cells, with the electrical fields applied to the brain through transducer arrays placed on the scalp.
TTFields harness electric fields to arrest the proliferation of tumor cells and destroy them, according to Novocure. The alternating electric TTFields alter the tumor-cell polarity at an intermediate frequency (100 to 300 kHz). The frequency used for a particular treatment is specific to the cell type being treated (e.g., 200 kHz for GBM).
Optune is intended as a treatment for adults (22 years of age or older) with histologically confirmed GBM. Optune with temozolomide (Temodar, Merck) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed, supratentorial glioblastoma after maximal debulking surgery and the completion of radiation therapy together with concomitant standard-of-care chemotherapy.
In the U.S., the Optune system is indicated for the treatment of recurrent GBM following histologically or radiologically confirmed recurrence in the supratentorial region of the brain after receiving chemotherapy. The system is intended to be used as monotherapy, and it is intended as an alternative to standard medical therapy for GBM after surgical and radiation options have been exhausted.
