I get asked by people all of the time where I got my German Shepherd. She does have the loveliest markings and an impressive pedigree and conformation.
Most impressive of all, I think, is her laid-back personality. She still exhibits the strong, protective, powerhouse qualities of all GSDs, but she is also very patient and easy-going [...]

I always like to check in on what type of searches and which referral sites brings people to this blog. Yesterday there was a Twitter referral to The Waggery’s Good Dog Blog. I’m not even on Twitter. Hmm . . . interesting.
I had an email from one reader pointing out that besides my recent Kaylee [...]

Well, except for the $450.00 fine given to the dogs’ owners, this one can definitely be classified as a feel good story.
Constable Doug Powell and Constable Steve Gambrel of the Winnipeg Police Department got a bit more than they bargained for after picking up two dogs at the corner of Mountain Avenue and McPhillips Street.

Maddie is a dachshund/schnauzer mix available for adoption through the Canine Rescue Team of Ottawa

Keeping plants out of reach is always something a pet owner has to be concerned with. But what about those plants that can’t be lifted out of harm’s way?
There are plants that are harmless, but others that can make our dogs and cats very sick. There are those that can even cause death. Here [...]

How cute is this? I love the part at the end where the polar bear is giving the dog a big “bear hug”. :)

One year ago today, we brought Kaylee home
Here she is today . . . quite the different dog than she was back then
Such a beautiful girl!

Beanz is a mixed breed of uncertain origin available for adoption through Hopeful Hearts Rescue in Ottawa, Ontario
So what is Beanz anyway? :) Petfinder says Wheaten/Poodle mix while Hopeful Hearts says he looks exactly like a Golden Doodle. Both could be right, though I don’t find his face to [...]
