MEDIUM BREEDS

|
Australian Shepherd This is a breed that is great with kids, and although these dogs do make excellent family pets, they are high energy animals. It is also important to remember that this is a working dog, and in their mind, they need to have some of job or purpose. Some great ideas may be trick training, agility training, fly ball or obedience training. - Mike Omartian Email: IAMS National Commercial - 2003 |

Border Collie This is a breed that is very smart and trainable, but you have to make sure that you train them because if you don’t they are going to find ways to entertain themselves that will not make you happy. The Border Collie is very popular in Agility and Herding that that is really where they excel. One of the best things about this breed is that they are ready and willing to participate in any sport or activity that the owner wants to share with their dog. – Karen MoureauxWebsite: www.dogagility.net IAMS National Print Ad – 2007 Agility Expert w/me on GOOD DOG U - 1998 |

Boxer The Boxer is a very family oriented dog, and loves to be around people. They are great with kids and extremely smart. You need to know that a Boxer is a true member of the family. Because they love being with people, this is NOT a dog you want to make an outdoor dog. – Sandra Green - Website: http://lutonboxers.com Heartgard National Commercial - 2005 |

English Bulldog The English Bulldog can make wonderful family pets. However this breed is very strong and does need some gentle discipline and control. With no discipline you will end up with a very strong dog that is out of control. Treat this dog as if they were a two year old in a furry coat. If it’s too hot or cold for a two year old, it’s too hot or cold for this breed. Bulldogs cannot swim. If you have a pool, it must be childproof. - Bill and Kay Gray, Website: http://graybullbulldogs.com Vetmedin Print Ad – 2007 |

Husky This breed needs a very patient owner, but can make a great pet. Please do some research and speak with someone who has owned a Husky. It is essential that the yard the Husky runs in is secure, and he cannot get out of it. It is also essential that this dog be trained to come when you call. The reason is that this is a breed that is known to want to run. – Tina Ranisavljevich, Email: IAMS National Commercial - 1998 SPAYING OR NEUTERING If you are not a professional breeder, it is essential that your dog be spayed or neutered as soon as possible. When should your dog be spayed or neutered? That is a decision that is based on two things. The specific breed, and the reccomendation of the veterinarian that knows your specific dog.
