dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
A Doggy Love Story
My family has always had a Golden Retriever as our family dog and even bred two of them for several years. Henry was the male and was always "my dog" as a teenager. I always said that one day I would have one of his puppies. For as long as I can remember from us having golden retrievers, I always wanted a puppy of my own when the time was right and I was capable of caring for my own dog independently. Unfortunately; after several litters of puppies, my parent's female dog Lilly was pretty worn out so my parents decided to neuter Henry and stopped breeding the two of them. I was devastated because I was still not in the right place to care for my own dog and I really thought I had missed my chance of having one of Henry's puppies. Shortly after the two stopped breeding, I moved to Dallas for several years and then to Austin, TX. The only dog I ever got to see during that time were on the rare occasions I would visit Henry while staying in East Texas for the holidays.

Introducing Zeke, the Reactive Border Collie
Just like most people, we had no idea what was in store for us when we went to get our first puppy. My girlfriend and I were so excited, we jumped online and found an amazing breeder not 45 minutes from us and instantly got hooked. We got into the car and went to visit Valley View Border Collies near where we live.

Learning to Love a Dachshund
Dachshundnoun: a dog of a very short-legged, long-bodied stature. Insanely stubborn with a big ego. As a child growing up, I always had large dogs. Golden Retrievers, Kelpies, Labradors. I fell in love with large dogs - and whilst I liked all dogs great and small, I remember thinking: "I want to have a Golden Retriever when I grow up". As far as I was concerned, small dogs were just yappy, annoying and quite frankly irritating. I never wanted a small dog.

Best Medium Dog Breeds
Certain dogs are great pets, but only if you have years of experience training dogs and raising them. Most of those dogs are large dogs — and for many new dog owners, that can be heartbreaking. After all, there is something awesome about having a large, sturdy canine companion to join you on adventures.

Small Dogs Are Better
They say that the best things in life come in small packages. This is so true when it comes to small dogs. They are the most adorable, cuddly, and affectionate creatures on the face of the earth. When it comes to choosing a pet, it is important to pick one that suits your lifestyle. If you live in a small house or rent an apartment, a small dog might be a good choice.

Best Hypoallergenic Large Dogs
Perhaps one of the most upsetting things about having allergies is the lifestyle choices that they limit. If you're allergic to gluten, you can't eat pizza. If you are allergic to dogs, you can't have your own furry friend at home...or can you?

Best Small Dogs for Families
If you are new to dog ownership, or if you are a family who lives in city apartments, then small dogs are probably what you should be focusing in on. Petite, friendly, and generally considered easy to train, most small dogs are good companions for families of every size — and in every type of neighborhood.
