Dobermann Male
A square, medium-sized dog, the Doberman Pinscher is muscular and possesses great endurance and speed. He is elegant in appearance and reflects great nobility and temperament. The properly bred and trained Doberman has proved itself to be a friend and guardian, and his intelligence and ability to absorb and retain training have brought him into demand as a police and war dog. The Doberman's short, hard coat can be black, red, blue and fawn.
The breed originated in Germany, around 1890, taking its name from Louis Dobermann of Apolda, a tax collector, who desired a medium size dog to perform as a guard dog as well as companion.

Doberman Pinscher Club of Canada Illustrated Standard
This is the first edition of the Doberman Pinscher Club of Canada’s Illustrated Standard. In 2011, DPCC members decided that we needed an informative and illustrated format with which to present the standard to the judges, breeders, and fanciers of the Doberman Pinscher. The drawings have been done by Jeanne Flora, and the drawings of the teeth are courtesy of Dr. Peter Emily. We thank the members of the committee, who put long hours and much thought into what is presented here.

The Pug is a Toy companion dog that thrives on human association. The earliest start of the breed dates back to around 750 B.C. It is one of the earliest breeds of dog with evidence pointing to the fact that the Pug is almost as old as the Greyhound. Their beginnings came from a breed of dog named Lo-sze or “Foo Dog”. This was the ancient Pug from Eastern Literature and art. From China, Pugs eventually found their way to parts of Europe and then England where throughout history they have been kept, spoilt, pampered and guarded by China’s Emperors and the world’s Royalty. Over the centuries the Pug has remained true to its original purpose and is basically unchanged in general appearance, temperament & markings.

THE PUG ILLUSTRATED GUIDE
An overbite distorts the expression and sometimes gives a lippy, weak look. Too much underbite gives the face an uptilt. A lolling or peeking tongue is evidence of malocclusion (wry mouth) and should be penalized. Ideally, evenly spaced incisors insure proper breadth of chin and muzzle; a careful look at the teeth is not important unless the expression is in question.

Not only are Beagles excellent hunting dogs and loyal companions, they are also happy-go-lucky, funny, and—thanks to their pleading expression—cute. They were bred to hunt in packs, so they enjoy the company of other dogs and of people as well. Beagles love to follow their noses, which can sometimes get them into sticky situations. These dogs are solid, sturdy, and fairly easy to care for, but they do need to run around and let off steam. The actual origin of the Beagle seems to be obscure with no reliable documentation on the earliest days of development. These dogs were snappy, tireless hunters full of energy and quickness but lacking in type. The turning point for American Beagles came in the 1860's, when dogs from a well-bred strain in England were imported to inject beautiful breed type.
