When it comes time to provide bedding or a DOG bed for your favorite pooch, there are several things to consider. The most important issue to start with is comfort for your pug. While such a task may seem simple, it can be a bit more complicated than merely finding an old blanket for your pug to lie on.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the smallest dog on record was a yorkshire terrier in Great Britain who, at the age of 2, weighed just 4 ounces. However, the chihuahua is generally the smallest breed of dog.
Is your pug an inside or outside pug? For both scenarios, and depending on the weather in your area, and the season, a simple puggie pillow, (you can find a great one at http://www.scrooby.com ), may be perfectly adequate and comfortable for your pug. Still, you must also take into consideration the age of your pug. In mild weather, a simple, padded, rectangular pillow should suffice for your pug. Such bedding may come stuffed with cedar chips, foam pieces or some other cotton or wool materials. During inclement weather, make sure your outside pug has shelter from rain, snow and cold winds.
German shepherd dogs are great working dogs. They are often used as police dogs, rescue dogs and guides for the blind. In fact, one of them, a guide dog named Orient, once led a blind hiker the entire 2100 mile length of the Appalachian Trail.
Doggie beds are also an option, especially for smaller DOG breeds, as they like to 'nest'. The raised sides of wicker, or even a cardboard box, provide an added sense of security for them. These days, DOG beds are also being designed like human furniture, and come in shapes like armchairs and sofas, but you'll pay a little extra for these. When shopping for pug bedding, take cleaning into consideration. Try to find bedding that comes with a removable cover, or bedding that can be soaked on occasion without ruining its shape and texture.
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.
Depending on your pug's size and preferences, you may have to experiment a bit before finding a bed that your pug will like, and use, but your pug's comfort and happiness is worth the effort.
Many people think that the kerry blue terrier is the national dog of Ireland. Actually, the Irish government never has given this designation to any breed. Michael Collins, one of Irelands most famous patriots, introduced legislation to elevate the Kerry Blue, or the Irish Blue Terrier as they were then called, to the national dog of Ireland. After his murder, the interest in the initiative was lost.
