June’s Feature Dog – Weimaraner

Weimaraner Molly loves designer collars!

Meet Molly, an eleven year old Weimaraner who loves to play fetch, watch birds, and sunbathe.

Every morning Molly barks to receive hugs and kisses, groaning with pleasure and whining if the affection is too brief. When it’s time for bed this vocal Weimaraner will even bark for a goodnight hug, or for the radio or television to be turned off.

Molly loves going on car rides and will attempt to jump into any open car for a lift. During parties Molly likes to sneak into the kitchen and steal food from the countertop, eagerly licking the bowls so clean one must question if the bowl was ever used. Continue reading…

April’s Feature Dog – Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu Brothers Cosmo & MisterMeet Cosmo and Mister, six year old Shih Tzu brothers who are two peas in a pod. Born on the same day by different mothers, Cosmo and Mister share daddy DNA, and the same neighborhood. They live next door to each other and spend every day hanging out together, snuggling at nap time, and parading together during walks. If apart too long they whine to be reunited, then adorn each other in puppy kisses once together again.

Cosmo always gets his way!Cosmo is the brother with attitude! He likes to show the ‘people’ world that he is top dog and demands lap time, attention, and being carried up and down the stairs.

He loves going on a daily 1.25 mile walk around a lake filled with ducks, where he stops to rest in every shaded spot he finds. During meal time if a piece of his dry food drops to the floor he will play soccer with it for hours before eating it. He will save his bone treats until company comes over, quickly eating it in front of them without sharing. However, this attitude has made him a hit with the ladies who follow him and give him kisses when he is out and about. Continue reading…

February’s Feature Dog – Miniature Schnauzer

Molly the SchnauzerMeet Molly, a seven year old Miniature Schnauzer who loves to demonstrate her true Terrier traits by practicing a mine sweeping technique during walks, cornering rats in the garden, and squaring off with Mountain Lions on TV.

Molly enjoys barking at her own reflection, playing hide and seek, and nudging hands for a good belly rub. Her favorite activities include shredding paper, sleeping, and begging for Wheat Thins.

The Miniature Schnauzer originated from Germany in the late 1800’s, and is believed to be a cross between the Standard Schnauzer and the Affenpinscher or Poodle. Their compact size made them ideal for ratting, while their bold attitude made them excellent farm dogs to guard herds and families.
