When you’re the favored breed of the Queen of England, it’s no wonder that you regularly make the most popular breeds list! While Corgis may be short, that’s the only thing about them that anyone will ever call little!

In fact, many people are surprised to learn that this little dog was bred to herd cows! After all, when most people think of herding dogs, they think of bigger, stronger, altogether more imposing breeds. But this little dog is the exception that proves the rule, and a brilliant family dog, too!

German Shepherds are one of the most popular breeds all over the world. Their courage and devotion are unmatched, and they excel at just about anything they are trained to do. Exceptionally versatile, this breed is used in a wide variety of tasks, such as drug detection, search, and rescue, herding, as guide and assistance dogs for the handicapped, as well as military and police service. Apart from being excellent working dogs, the German Shepherd is one of the most loving and loyal canine companions around.

Ringworm in dogs, contrary to what the name implies, is not caused by a worm but is a fungal disease that is caused by Microsporum gypsum (20%), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (10%), and Microsporum canis (70%). It is a highly contagious disease that can lead to scaly skin and patches of hair loss on a dog and can spread to other animals and humans as well. The fungus can also be spread from human to human, as well as from human to animal.

It’s not often that a dog looks like it might have walked right out of a cartoon, but if any qualifies for that description, it must be, hands down, the Affenpinscher. There’s nothing out there that looks quite like this little dog, and if you are looking for a unique breed to make part of your family and you like toy breeds, this might well be the dog breed for you.
