cocker spaniels


The cocker spaniel is a sweet, loyal, loving breed. They are so loving that they make terrible watch dogs. Cocker spaniels are probably they sweetest, kindest dog ever. And they are also so cute.

Cocker spaniels have long fluffy ear and that's what a person is going to notice first. Second the round dark eyes that make them so cute. Last the compact body the lives about to 12-15 years but only if you take care of it right.

Cocker spaniels can live just about anywhere. The breed will be just fine in an apartment as long you give plenty of exercise. It would be good if you have a pretty big yard or a park close by.

 
They also are one of the healthiest dogs but they do have problems. Like knee cap problems and ear infections. So taking it to the vet often will be necessary.

You should groom them every day. They can get knots in the hair. And yes they do shed a lot. You always want to brush them under the ears too.

They can be pretty stubborn to train sometimes. So you do want to train from the beginning. If you do all that the cocker spaniel will be a great family pet.

Chow chows

Do you have a chow-chow at home? If you do here's a little more information. First of all they look like lions and bears. The thing not an other breed of dog has is 44 teeth like a bear. And in some places people don't accept chow-chows. For you to just know chow-chows are one of the most ancient dogs. They come in red, black, blue and cinnamon. people think that chow-chows are mixed with Pomeranian, and Norwegian.

When you really think about it chow-chows have a lot of jobs like sled pulling and guarding. And their tongue which is black and bluish. But when they are born their tongue are pink and darken while the chow- chows grow.

And they also have double coat that can be rough or soft. And that's why they are so fluffy. They also shed a lot. And because of that double coat on a hot day they have to be some where cool. And don't forget the straight hind legs.

Last they have a lot of health issues and they are not so good with children so you must train the chow-chow early enough. They are not active in apartments and needs daily exercise.
