Pedigree

Bulldog

A Bulldog is much more than a pair of sad eyes and droopy jaws, but this dog's appearance is a major reason for its popularity. The other reason these dogs are so popular is that they have a sweet and gentle nature.

Bull Terrier

The Bull Terrier is a good dog that has developed a bad reputation. This dog was created to fight and when a Bull Terrier is mistreated, it can be made into a dog that is quite aggressive, even vicious.

Sphynx

If you've always had a secret longing to own that charming little alien in the ET movie, you will probably fall in love with the Sphynx cat breed.

Boston Terrier

Do you want a dog that is as all American as apple pie? If so, you may want to consider the Boston Terrier, which is one of the few breeds developed in the USA.

Bloodhound

The Bloodhound is a familiar sight in movies that feature escaped convicts. Although the sound of these big dogs baying as they find the scent they are searching for may be a chilling sound to an escapee, it can be a comforting sound.

Somali

If you love the Abyssinian cat breed, but prefer longhair cats, then you may want to take a close look at the striking Somali. This cat breed is a descendant of the Abyssinian and has many of the same traits.

Singapura

About the Singapura Cat Breed

This breed is also called the drain cat because the cats originally lived in the water culverts of Singapore. Luckily, several cats were imported to the United States before Singapore's officials decided to control their feral cat population and cleaned out the drains, or these plucky cats would no longer exist.

Siberian

It is no surprise that any cat that was created in the bitter cold temperatures of Siberia has a thick, long coat that helps protect it from the weather. The Siberian cat breed is a large cat, weighing up to twenty pounds, with an insulating coat of slightly oily hair.

Siamese

About the Popular Siamese Cat Breed

The Siamese is an ancient breed, appearing sometime before the sixteen hundreds in the country of Thailand, which at the time was known as Siam. Several of these beautiful, graceful cats were brought to Great Britain in the eighteen hundreds by the Britain's ambassador when he returned home. This breed was immediately a hit with cat fanciers. By the nineteen fifties, the Siamese was one of the most popular cat breeds in the world, although they are not currently as popular as they once were.
