If you're considering adding a dog to your family, please consider adopting one from a shelter. I found the following story written by Janine Allen and thought it very important to share. The following was written by Janine Allen, not me.
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

The Rottweiler is enormously powerful and muscular but has a very tranquil temperament.Its an enthusiastic worker and is very responsive to training.The breed came close to extinction in the 19th century. The Rottwiler came from a small German town called Rottweil and was used as a butcher's dog, for guarding cattle. It is one of the most popular dogs in the USA today. Mishandling gave the breed a reputation for viciousness. I believe that if you train a dog the right way you can have a really good dog. If you are thinking of getting a Rottweiler study up on the breed and make sure it is the right dog for you.

The Standard Poodle is the largest of the three breeds of poodle. The breed is elegant and squarely built. The hair is cut so that there is warmth around the ankles. The breed may not look like it but it is a highly regarded retriever of game from rivers. It originated in Germany and most likely descended from the French water dog, the Barbet. Since this is a working dog the need for clipping is so the coat can hinder movement in the water. Other names for the Standard Poodle are Barbone, and Caniche.
