Are Alaskan Malamutes Good Guard Dogs? (Not Really, But They Can Fake the Part)

December 3, 2020 by Jason Jensen

On the surface, the Alaskan Malamute is a large, scary-looking breed that is wolf-like in appearance. If you were out in the wild, and you suddenly came across one of these dogs, you'd probably think it was time to run for the hills. But does this mean they are actually good guard dogs? Alaskan Malamutes certainly look the part of a guard dog, but in actuality they are not ...

Are Norwegian Elkhounds Good with Other Pets?

December 1, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Norwegian Elkhound

There are many pros to owning a Norwegian Elkhound: they are fearless protectors, extremely loyal, and love being around people... Unfortunately, one of their major cons is that they aren't the best choice for families with multiple pets. Instinctively, Norwegian Elkhounds do not typically get along well with other pets. They are aggressive alphas that like to hunt and kill ...

November 24, 2020 by Jason Jensen

old english sheepdog

We all know that dogs have fur, but did you know some dogs are said to have hair instead? Even though hair and fur are chemically the same, we tend to use the word fur when we're talking about dogs, but some dog experts say certain breeds only have fur, others only have hair, and some have both. What about the Old English Sheepdog? Where does it fall on this spectrum? At ...

Can Dogs Eat Fenugreek? Yes, and This Is Why It’s Good for Them

November 23, 2020 by Jason Jensen

fenugreek seeds

About a year ago, I was making an Indian recipe that called for a spice I was unfamiliar with: fenugreek. I live near Mexico, so trying to find it at my local grocery store was a no go. Instead, I ended up ordering a package of it from Amazon. The herb has a slightly bitter flavor that I find to be somewhat similar to celery, so I don't use it in many dishes, though it ...

Why Mixed Breed Dogs Are Better

November 17, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Mixed breed dog

I often talk about my dogs on this site, and I usually refer to them as my Pit bull and Foxhound. However, I have a confession to make: neither of my dogs are purebred. My Pit bull is really a Pit-Boxer mix with possibly something else in him, and my Foxhound is mostly English Foxhound but definitely a little bit of something else, as well. What? I have no idea. Maggie, ...

November 11, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Yorkie

You may have noticed your dog's eyes look a bit crusty or runny from time to time.

Why Siberian Huskies Are More Dangerous than You Might Think

September 14, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Siberian Husky snarling

I've noticed a lot of other pet blogs saying Siberian Huskies are not dangerous at all. However, if you look at the statistics and news reports, this assertion is simply untrue. As a dog owner, I understand how easy it is to have a bias towards a particular breed that you own. For example, if you own a lovely Rottweiler that has never harmed another living creature, and you ...

Why You Shouldn’t Feed Your Dog Canned Beans (But Dried Beans Are OK)

September 12, 2020 by Jason Jensen

prepared pinto beans

My wife and I have been trying to feed our dogs more whole foods and home-cooked meals. The simple reason for this is that most dog foods are full of junk ingredients. For example, the first three ingredients in Purina Dog Chow – one of the most popular commercial dog foods – are: whole grain corn, meat and bone meal, and corn gluten meal. In other words, it's basically ...
