Best Small Dogs for Families
If you are new to dog ownership, or if you are a family who lives in city apartments, then small dogs are probably what you should be focusing in on. Petite, friendly, and generally considered easy to train, most small dogs are good companions for families of every size — and in every type of neighborhood.

Best Dog Breeds for Families with Cats
Cats and dogs are legendary enemies. Many dogs will attack cats on sight, just by instinct alone. Thankfully, many breeders have realized that this isn't the way things should be — and as a result, many dogs are quite friendly to their feline counterparts.

What Is Considered a "Large Dog Breed?"
Dogs are man's best friend, and from the day that partnership first came to be, we've been breeding dogs for tasks of every kind. Selective breeding has made dog breeds of just about every size, and breeders often will categorize dogs by the size they become by the time they reach adulthood.

Dog Breeds for Families with Allergies
Allergies can make a good dog a bad choice for your family, and that's a sad fact of life. The fact is that many would-be dog owners often believe that having a puppy is out of reach for them, just because they have allergies to pet dander.

Worst Dog Breeds for Families
I'm a firm believer that dogs are truly the best friends that humans can have. However, not all dogs are the same — and some are definitely not a good match for families with small children, cats, or owners who aren't really adept at training animals.

Ekanath the Aerialist. Top Story - July 2017.
Bengals have become quite a popular breed of cat in the UK over the last couple of years. Among one of the more expensive cat breeds (a recent article listed them as the third most expensive to buy) they are sometimes bought as a status symbol but more often it is because they are a very beautiful cat. Known for their loyalty, intelligence and the ability to learn tricks, this has also made them popular. However, they can also be a very challenging pet and anyone considering one should take this into account. They have an abundance of energy and they will need to work it off in order to live a happy life. This means either access to the outdoors or their guardian setting aside a lot of time to play with them, to help them stay active, entrained and to help them avoid boardroom.

Dogs come both large and small, but in the vast history of mankind, small breeds have always been the chosen size for companion dogs. Historical hunters and work dogs tend to come large, but for a dog you just want near you for love and comfort? Nothing beats an adorable dog that never grows larger than a puppy.
