I went on the Drudgereport and there was an ad for supersized Dobermans being sold out of Arizona all had cropped ears and also the names - Nitro. What a shame, I like sweet names for Dobermans - like my Snoopy and Mercy. I don't like mean names. So sad - selling really kingsized Dobermans with mean names.....oh, pardon me, but that's just a cruel thing to do - Dobermans are so graceful and agile and they don't need mean names.

This year, the hairless Xoloitzcuintles (show-low-ee-SQUINT-lees) are stealing the show in their native Mexico. Sleek with bat-like ears, the rare breed looks more like a cartoon character than a canine. http://tinyurl.com/2scs5n This is a great breed and I had the good luck of working with one here in Sacramento. Great dog – great spirit – has a great little soul too. MEXICO CITY — The star of the World Dog Show is not the soulful Labrador, the bulldog with attitude or even the manic Chihuahua.

They have beautiful noses --they are colored like Pugs, but longer like a Jack Russell. The dogs seem to be a nice size, short pug-colored coats and good dispositions. Would it be better for pugs to use them as "stock" to breed new dogs like "Jugs" that can breathe and pass on their great dispositions, rather than continue to breed a dog that can't breathe?
