Here are the top 5 dog breeds of 2007 and just a snippet about them.

1. Labrador Retriever

Just like my little baby Emma, Labs are one of the few dogs distinguished with webbed feet and a wide tail. They are recognized as a great family dog and are superb hunting partners. This is the Labrador Retrievers 17th consecutive year as the AKC’s Top dog.

2. Yorkshire Terriers

Yorkshire Terriers may be tiny but certainty have a personalty that is much bigger than their size. They tend to get along with anybody and are happy and outgoing. Even though they ony weight around 6 pounds, people need to remember that they still need the exercise that all other terriers need.

3. German Shepard

German Shepard’s are one of the most versatile dogs today. This dog has tons of self-confidence and intelligence and is used by law enforcement and search and rescue teams. They are highly trainable and can fulfill almost any role a dog could have that any owner could think of.

4. Golden Retriver

Golden Retrievers have become popular because of their versatile nature and smooth personalty. Their loving and gentle nature towards others has escalated their standing as a family dog. They are one of the most popular dog breeds according to the ACK.

5. Beagle

Beagles have no aggressiveness towards others , or timidity. They make excellent hunting dogs because of their alertness and drive. These dogs do best in a working home but at times can be extremely stubborn.

Thats the end of the great dog breeds of 2007!

Before you bring the newest furry addition to your family home, you need to make sure that you have everything to make them feel right at home.

First of all, you need to have a bed and crate for your furry friend. You may want to measure your dog and find out how big they will be when they are older. Then you would be able to get a crate and bed that is not too big, nor too small. If you get a dog that is not yet trained or chews a lot, I would suggest a warm sheet or blanket so that the $100 bed that you would buy does not end up as a pile of shreds on the couch.

You need to have Food and Water bowls so that your dog dose not have to eat out of your plastic containers. You’ll also need brushes to keep your dogs coat in tip-top shape, a collar and leash so that you and your new friend can take a walk around the block. Also make sure that you have an ID tag on the collar so that is Rover ever escapes they can quickly get back to their bed. OF course you also need toys to keep you pup occupied while you are there or not.

Now to get more in depth with all of these supplies. Molded plastic dog beds are easy to clean and last quite a long time. Woven Wicker baskets look nice but are not necessarily easy to clean and you dog may chew them up. A nice idea is to buy a washable mattress that snuggly fits inside your dogs bed. Small bean bags with washable covers are also nice comfy beds for dogs. Once you have a good sized crate, try to make it more comfortable with familiar smelling blankets and a few toy.

You need to have separate bowls for food and water, and need to wash them regularly and keep them clean. Placing a large washable mat under the food and water bowls to keep the floor clean is a good idea.

There are different types for brushes for different dogs. You need to make sure that you keep your dogs coat clean and healthy by brushing it. Dogs also need to brush their teeth, and you can do this by using a kids toothbrush with special dog toothpaste you can buy from your vet.

You need to get your dog used to wearing a collar as soon as they come home. Woven Nylon Collars with buckles are cheap, simple, and good for most dogs. Rolled leather collars are good for long haired dogs. Body Harnesses suit dogs with thick necks such as pugs, as well as little delicate breeds like Yorkshire Terriers.

When you are buying a leash for your dog, you may want to consider the following. Nylon leashes are almost unbreakable, but you would need to chose one that would be thick enough for your dog. You have to make sure your dogs collar has a ID tag on it with at least your name and phone number. Then if your furry companion ever got lost, they could quickly get back to their real home.

Of course all dogs need toys to play with! I would suggest having a good variety of toys for different games. Nylon Bones and Rubber Rings are great for just chewing. Nylon Ropes and Sticks are good for a game of Tug-Of-War. Frisbees and Balls are great for fetching or catching.

One BIG thing is to never give your dog anything they could choke on!!!
