Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy my second site. This site is completely dedicated to dogs and specific breeds. I created it because I couldn't contain all the info I wanted to share on one space. I hope to educate people on the different breed temperaments and traits so that they may make a better decision when choosing the right dog for them. Please feel free to sign my guestbook and leave me a comment. Let me know what you think of Doggy Times II, and don't forget to check out Doggy Times, the original all dog space! Remember, a dog is for life!

Doggy Times II"Where It's All About The Dogs!"
12/17/2008 Field Spaniel Sporting Group
Breed History: The Field Spaniel and the Cocker Spaniel developed together until the 20th century, with the Field Spaniel being larger in the litter. Lack of good breeding affected the breed adversely for many years, until fanciers focused on maintaining effectiveness in the field. In the late nineteenth century the breed was imported to the U.S. but never really became popular. This breed is still rare.
Breed Description: This dog is sturdy, medium-sized, and longer than it is tall. It has a rectangular head with long, wide drop ears. The eyes are almond-shaped and brown. The tail is natural or docked. The single coat is glossy with feathering on the back of the legs, belly, chest, and underside of the tail. The Field Spaniel can be black, liver, golden liver, roan, with or without tan points. A small amount of white on the chest and throat is allowed. These dogs are 17 to 18 inches high and weigh 35 to 50 pounds.
Breed Temperament: This is a very lively, fun-loving, and vocal breed. These dogs love the water. They do best with active owners in rural or suburban homes. They require a lot of exercise, and a job or activity to keep them busy. These dogs are bred to work. So they need something to do with their time. If this is lacking, they will get into trouble.
Energy Level: High
Health Concerns: Hip dysplasia, ectropion, entropion, PRA, subaortic stenosis, and thyroid disease.

Sporting Group
Breed History: This dog is also known as the Portuguese Fishing Dog among many other names. As per the name, this dog originated in Portugal. PWDs have played an important part in the Portuguese fishing industry for centuries. The dogs were used to herd fish, retrieve lines, and deliver messages from boat to boat. With the decline of fishing in the beginning of the twentieth century, the breed came close to extinction but was saved by a wealthy fancier. It is now a popular companion throughout the world. Breed Description: This is a sturdy, medium-size dog. It has a strong, broad head, the skull slightly longer than the muzzle. The eyes and broad nose are brown or black and the drop ears are heart shaped. The feet are webbed and covered with hair and the tail is medium length. The single coat may be wavy or curly and is kept in a lion or working clip. The coat may be black, white, brown, or a combination of these colors. PWDs are 17 to 23 inches tall and weigh 35 to 60 pounds. Breed Temperament: PWDs are biddable and intelligent. They are devoted to family and have great endurance. They are spirited and courageous. They love the water and are excellent swimmers. Energy Level: High Notes: They do well with an individual or family in rural or suburban homes. They need regular exercise, grooming, and training. Health Concerns: Addison's disease, cancer, cardiac problems, eye problems, gastrointestinal disease, hip dysplasia, skin allergies, and renal disease.

Bare with me as the space is still under construction. 11/7/2007 Doggy Fun FactsAlright, been awhile since I posted on this site. I hope everyone has been finding it useful. Below are some new fun facts about dogs! Enjoy!
1.) Dogs carry 60% of their body weight on their front legs. 2.) Dogs can't visually focus on any object that is directly infront of their nose. Therefore, when an item is directly infront of their nose, they don't even try to look at it. Their sense of smell takes over. 3.) All canines are decendents of wolves. 4.) 99% of all dogs' genes are the same. Only 1% of their genes determine their breed. 5.) Dogs can infact see color, however it is muted. While they can see cool colors very well, and even different shades of black, warm colors all look yellowish to them. 6.) Dogs can tell who you are from a distance or in the dark just by the way you move. 7.) Black dogs are difficult to adopt out of shelters. No one seems to know why. 8.) Poodles were originally bred to be water dogs. Their funny haircuts were ment to keep their vital organs warm while in the water. Now they are just for show. 9.) Some researchers now believe that dogs do not have a pecking order. 10.) A dog's muscles rebuild every 75 days!
