Herding dogs are particularly very intelligent and lively; however they require an owner who has the time and energy to keep up with them. Although they are rarely aggressive, they are hard dogs that may have a tendency to nip and herd.
They are also excellent at dog sports such as agility and flyball, which also serves as keeping the dog physically and mentally satisfied. While rating the pictures of all dog breeds keep in mind that because of their special needs, the herding breeds do best in a home with a dog-experienced owner.
Terriers, there are two types of terriers, the traditional terriers and the bull and terrier type. The name terrier comes from the Latin word which means earth, and stems from their traditional work of entering tunnels or dens to chase after small prey. They were bred to catch and kill fast-moving prey; they are unreliable with small animals. When you rate the pictures of all dog breeds keep in mind that they are in fact extremely friendly towards people, friendlier than most other breeds.
Weimaraner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Weimaraner is a silver-grey breed of dog developed originally for hunting. Early Weimaraners were used by royalty for hunting large game, such as boar, bears, and deer. As the popularity of large game hunting began to decline, Weimaraners were used for hunting smaller animals, like fowl, rabbits, and foxes. Rather than having a specific purpose such as pointing or flushing, the Weimaraner is an all purpose gun dog.
The Weimaraner is loyal and loving to his family, an incredible hunter, and a fearless guardian of his family and territory. The name comes from the Grand Duke of Weimar, Charles August, whose court enjoyed hunting.
This breed’s short, smooth gray coat and its unusual eyes give it a regal appearance different from any other breed. However, the breed has been deemed very similar to the Vizsla. The eyes may be light amber, gray, or blue-gray. The coat may range from mouse-gray (grayish beige or tan) to silver-gray. Where the fur is thin or non-existent, inside the ears or on the lips, for example, the skin should be a pinkish “flesh” tone rather than white or black.
The silvery-gray colour is rare in dogs and is the result of breeding for a recessive gene. It has also lent the breed the nickname ’silver ghost’ or ‘gray ghost.’ The coat is extremely low maintenance; it is short, hard, and smooth to the touch.
