Does My Boxer Need a DOG Tag? Any boxer that is going to be outside should always wear a DOG tag (ID tag). In fact, even boxers that are primarily indoors should wear a DOG tag incase they somehow find their way outside. The name Pug is believed to have derived from this dog's resemblance to the pug monkey. That also fits the breed in other ways. Pugs tend to be curious and mischievous. They always seem to have a look of mischief and fun on their face, just like a monkey. A DOG ID tag is not the same thing as a DOG license tag. A DOG license tag often has a code number to identify the boxer and information on whether the boxer has had its shots. A DOG license tag allows anyone that finds the boxer to contact the vet that the license came from, but, if it's after hours or a weekend the vet may be closed. Yorkshire terriers are very tenacious. In fact, A 12-pound Yorkshire Terrier named Oliver once defended an elderly woman from an 80-pound Akita. The woman escaped to safety and Oliver the yorkie survived with only nine stitches. While most dogs shed, poodles are actually incapable of shedding. That fact makes them excellent house pets, since they don't get the furniture covered in fur. Also, due to the nature of their fur and the fact that they do not shed, most people with dog allergies aren't allergic to poodles. A DOG ID tag, on the other hand, is a personal DOG tag that the owner can put important information on. This information generally includes the boxer's name, home address, phone number and occasionally things like allergies that the boxer has. This allows the average person on the street to contact the boxer's family quickly and easily any day of the week. Chow chows were originally bred as food, just like cows. However, in some cases, they were also used as hunters and helpers. They were also used to keep people warm under cold conditions by cuddling up to people with their soft, warm fur. Newfoundlands have webbed feet, just like ducks. They also have extremely water-proof fur. Those features, as well as their great strength, loyalty and willingness to learn, make newfies great candidates to work as water rescue dogs. It's also important to remember that a DOG ID tag is only as good as the collar it's attached to. Be sure that your boxer's collar is not too tight or too loose and that it is made of a material that you can easily attach the DOG ID tag to. After all, the tag will not do anyone any good if it falls off and gets lost. About eight thousand years ago, ancient Egyptians began to raise a breed called Saluki, as hunting dogs. Saluki is an arabic word. In english it translates as "noble one". These dogs are probably the oldest known breed. People are always taking their Yorkshire terriers to the groomer. Why? Well, Yorkshire terriers can grow hair up to 2 feet in length! Considering that they are nowhere near two feet tall, this makes regular grooming a must! While it's not usually required that an owner put a personal ID tag on their boxer, the benefits of doing so are obvious. Chinese Crested dogs are often considered to be so ugly that they are cute. They often win ugly dog contests. They are odd looking, mostly hairless dogs. They are also the only breed of dog that is capable of getting acne. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest lived dog was an Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey. The dog lived to be 29. This case was considered unusual since smaller dogs generally live longer. The chihuahua is actually the breed that tends to live the longest. The joys of motherhood struck with a vengeance when, in 1984, a great dane became the third dog to join the record holders for largest litter. She had twenty-three puppies. Interestingly, each of the three dogs that hold the record are different breeds.
