This is Luna, who is a Labrador Retriever/Alaskan Malamute mix. Mom Zorina says that she's a very hyper dog who's decided to stay a puppy forever! She's very intelligent, and certainly knows how to get a treat from anyone - whether it's a simple "sit" or "down," or perhaps, for the more demanding crowd, "say please," "crawl," "shame on you," "play dead," "roll over," etc. Her toys are her special treasures, and she picks her own new ones at the pet shop.

This is Stan, who is a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. According to Alex, Stan is a great dog who loves long walks, chasing flies, and playing dead "thanks to your website." He is very energetic and very loving and usually can be seen sitting at the top of the couch next to window or digging holes at the park.

This is Bailey. She is two months old and is a mix of Labrador retriever and hound. Dad Mackenna says that she was a rescue puppy. Her mother was found on the streets when she was very pregnant and gave birth to her and her three brothers on the front lawn of someone's house. She is very sweet and mellow and learns very fast. She learned how to sit, shake, lay down, roll over, stay and come all within the first month he had her.

This is Packer. Mom Christine says that Packer came from a rescue organization. When adopted, he was so skinny that every bone in his body showed. He had been thrown out of a car on a Highway and it is a miracle that he survived. He had been beaten and apperently he had never been inside a house. Packer had no idea what to do with toys or a rawhide bone, he never had any of these things in his life before. After 2 years, he has grown into a beautiful, healthy, happy and energetic dog. He loves his family and they just adore him.

PINNI is a one-year-old female Coton de Tulear. Pinni is white with champagne. This very rare breed is the Royal Dog of Madagascar (off southern Africa); has a long, dry, cotton-like coat (of various color varieties); and gets up to 18 lbs. (but is not a toy). The Coton de Tulear is a member of the Bichon family and dates back to the 1500s. Pinni is typical in that she is hardy, very active, and agile.
Most of Mom Mikko's photos of Pinni are action shots. The top photo must have been after a long day of romping, and the bottom photo shows her in her too-cute winter coat.

Alisa and her (Pomeranian) kids, Tippi (11), Kanu (8) and Tyler (11). "I'm proud of my kids' level of intelligence and manners. They understand everything that I want them to and respond accordingly. They are extensive travellers and even get their own party invitations to our parties. They are always complimented about how well behaved they are. When they see me near their bag... they immediately start jumping in. If we are getting ready to leave, Tyler always packs his bags (grabs a cookie) to go. [OR] Upon returning, they immediately check in my purse to see what I've brought them."

Tasha is an 18-month-old Bulldog from Russia, and the daughter of Russia's No. 1 bulldog. "She is a pistol. She must have that Russian blood because she absolutely loves the snow and being outdoors. She is such a coach potato as well." Dad (Travis) says Tasha is a fine example of a Bulldog female: nicely boned, great head, easy to handle, and has superior confidence.

This is Cutter, a three-year-old german shepherd and malamute mix. Mom Steph says,"Cutter is the smartest dog! He knows over 30 individual words,
20+ hand signals, and even different smells [like when his ear medicine is opened in another room]. He is pretty spoiled, but also
well trained. We spend so much time together that it sometimes seems he's reading my mind."

(Dog of the Month, my waggly tail. This kid has
stolen the limelight from me since the day she was born! But there's
still hope for me because I'm house trained and she isn't!)
This is Chester [on the right], and he is
a 6-year-old beagle. He watches out for Baby A. and cleans the floor
when she drops her food. They make a great pair.

This is Bella (Bella Der Viking), an Entlebucher
Sennehunde. She is 8 months old in the picture. Bella is now a year old,
but this picture shows a lot of her tri-colored markings. She is one
smart puppy and is now in her second doggy obedience class. Her mom,
Maria M, says that "Entlebuchers are in the swiss mountain dog
family. The entlebucher is the smallest of the family, but definitely
the cutest!" |

Parka is a 3-year old American Eskimo Dog. Chris (10)
and Jessica (8) N. love her a lot and play with her every day. They
taught her themselves to jump through hula hoops that they hold up high.
She thinks any kind of trick is neat because American Eskimo dogs have
been Russian circus dogs for years and years. Parka is a medium-size
American Eskimo dog.
Parka has become the "mascot" on Dog Tricks, Tips and
Insights. You guessed it, she is also our own super, wonderful dog! |

Buster, an 11-year old "mutt." His
"daddy" (Dave W) says, "Buster attended college with me
for two years, His efforts earned him a certificate of loyalty from the
Dept Heads, and was signed by every member of the senior class. He is an
incredible friend, and I love him dearly. He is also handsome and a
gentleman of the first order." |
