Choosing A Dog Breed

Every once in a while we are going to give you all a link to our Dog Breeds Website over at www.RightDogBreed4me.com - a great guide which shows you how to choose a dog breed.

This is more comfortable and natural for the dog than a lead which they pull on from the neck.

There are other decisions about dog collars still. Should you go for a leather studded number, one bearing the family tartan, pink and fluffy…
