Stray dogs are getting their revenge on Sochi for their crimes against dogkind
Reports leaked out of Sochi that officials had hired a company to kill stray dogs in advance of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Naturally, dogs aren?t taking this well as one of them interrupted an event practice and barked at athletes.
Team Dog all the way here. You guys are coming into his country and indirectly leading to the mass genocide of his people? You deserve all the barks in the world.
I also really admire this dog?s non-violent protest. Sure, he could jump up and rip these skiers? throats out but NO he politely voices his discontent and looks adorable instead. Good boy. That?s a very good boy.

Breeding blunder: Labradoodle creator laments designer dog craze
He?s deemed the man who unleashed the designer dog craze, this wave of Maltipoos, puggles and shorkies.
A Doberhuahua? Not quite.
But from that new Super Bowl ad to Hollywood boulevards and nearly to the White House, these pooches with cute names are pretty popular.
Hardly what Wally Conron expected ? or ever wanted ? back in the late 1980s when he first bred a pair of prize canines and called the result a Labradoodle.
?I?ve done a lot of damage,? Conron told The Associated Press this week by phone from his home in Australia. ?I?ve created a lot of problems.?
?Marvelous thing? My foot,? he said. ?There are a lot of unhealthy and abandoned dogs out there.?
No Labradoodles are entered in Saturday?s agility competition at the Westminster Kennel Club show, but for the first time in the event?s 138-year history, mixed breeds are welcome. Called ?all-American? dogs by some and mutts by many, they?ll weave, jump and run through an obstacle course.
Only purebreds are allowed in the main event, though, and more than 2,800 of them are entered in the nation?s most prominent dog event. The rings open Monday and the best in show ribbon will be awarded Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Conron isn?t from the show world. He was working as the puppy-breeding manager at the Royal Guide Dog Association of Australia when he tried to fulfill a request from a couple in Hawaii. She had vision problems, her husband was allergic, and they wanted a dog that would satisfy their needs.
After a lot of trial-and-error, Conron came up with a solution when he bred a standard poodle with a Labrador retriever. The mix was a personal triumph, yet not a success outside his lab.
?I was very, very careful of what I used, but nobody wanted Labrador crosses. I had a three-to-six-month waiting list, but everyone wanted purebreds,? the 85-year-old Conron recalled. ?So I had to come up with a gimmick.?
?We came up with the name ?Labradoodle,?? he said. ?We told people we had a new dog and all of sudden, people wanted this wonder dog.?
Over the years, demand grew for Conron and other breeders. Labradoodles became a hot dog ? Jennifer Aniston, Tiger Woods and Christie Brinkley are among their owners ? and President Barack Obama?s family considered a Labradoodle before picking a Portuguese water dog as the First Pet.
?When I heard he was thinking about a Labradoodle, I wrote to him and said to make sure he checked its pedigree,? Conron said.
There?s the problem that troubles him.
Conron said there are far too many unscrupulous people eager to make a buck at a dog?s expense. Rather than check the history and science, he said ?horrific? puppy mills are springing up and producing unstable dogs that go unwanted and eventually are euthanized.
?Instead of breeding out the problems, they?re breeding them in,? he said. ?For every perfect one, you?re going to find a lot of crazy ones.?
That?s a concern Conron has echoed in the past, blaming himself for opening a ?Pandora?s box? and creating a ?Frankenstein.?
PETA appreciated that Conron is ?speaking out to stop the loss of lives that his ?invention? has created.?
?Breeding ?purebred? or ?designer? dogs for exaggerated physical characteristics such as flat faces or sloping hips can cause them severe health problems. The kindest thing that anyone can do for dogs is to adopt them from a shelter ? and make sure that they are spayed or neutered,? said Daphna Nachminovitch, senior vice president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Conron said he?s never owned a Labradoodle as a pet, and stopped breeding them when he retired 20 years ago.
Since then, he?s often witnessed the effects of his work.
?You can?t walk down the street without seeing a poodle cross of some sort. I just heard about someone who wanted to cross a poodle with a rottweiler. How could anyone do that?? he said.
?Not in my wildest dream did I imagine all of this would happen,? he said. ?That?s a trend I started.?

Freddy the Great Dane, Possibly the Largest Dog In Great Britain and a Contender for World?s Largest Dog
Freddy is a massive eighteen-month old great dane who eats over $120 worth of food per week and can only be walked at times when there aren?t any other dogs around, according to his human, Clare Stoneman.
She even gets up in the small hours for his daily 40-minute walk ? so they won?t meet other dogs who might be intimidated by him. ?If he wants to run after a dog I wouldn?t be able to stop him,? said Miss Stoneman, who is 5ft 4in tall. ? Daily Mail
Freddie, who has grown to 41 inches measured from his paws to withers (between shoulder blades), is only three inches away from the current record for the world?s tallest dog. The record is currently held by a Michigan great dane named Zeus, who stands at 44 inches from paws to withers. But at eighteen months, Freddie may have a bit more growing to do before reaching his full height and when he does, perhaps that record will be his for the taking.

Compilation of Siberian Huskies Verbally Refusing the Requests of Their Humans
As demonstrated in the latest video compilation by FunnyPlox, Siberian Huskies are very straightforward dogs who have no problem refusing when they really don?t want to do something.
This compilation also includes Blaze, the husky who didn?t want to go into his kennel.

Hammie the Bulldog Plays Mommy To An Adorable Litter of Foster Kittens
Last year Michelle Parden, also known as RorschachBulldogs on reddit, fostered a mother cat and her kittens in her Lincoln, Nebraska home where bulldogs ?Honey? and ?Hammie? already lived. Fearing that the dogs would scare the cat and kittens, Michelle separated the animals and slowly re-introduced them. Evidently her method worked very well, because as soon as Hammie met the kittens, they all fell in love with each other.

A sled dog in Kiruna, Sweden perfectly mimics the humans saying ?blah, blah, blah? who have gathered around him in this video taken by Wells Johnson while on a Spotify employee trip. Interestingly enough, the husky standing beside this vocal dog keeps completely silent, unlike others of the breed.

http://laughingsquid.com/dog-waitin...15-minutes-while-her-humans-are-out-shopping/
A gorgeous boxer named Fern, having been left waiting in the car while her humans were out shopping in Broughty Ferry, Scotland, decided that she?d been waiting long enough and sounded the car horn for 15 minutes straight.
Although Fern regularly climbs into the front seat when left alone in a car, she has never actually used the horn before, Mr Haddow said. Mr Haddow is concerned that his beloved pet boxer may repeat her new trick after all the attention it got her the first time around. ?I think she is a bit of a diva. She just wants a bit of attention and she seems to have gotten her way this time? I might have to put something on the driver?s seat to stop her doing it again.? ? Daily Mail

Who knew a wolf would like belly rubs so much!
Photographer Shelby Bower was outside at a wolf education facility in Cocolalla, Idaho when she noticed Maiah, a small wolf who wanted a little attention. Shelby was surprised to discover out how much a Maiah loved getting a belly rub.

In this video posted by Life in the Doghouse, Stig, a very buoyant rescued pit bull, gleefully evades capture while playing with his canine buddies by jumping from couch to couch at high speed, gaining some serious air in the process.

‘Not A Bully’, Photographer’s Campaign Seeking To Change Opinions About Pit Bulls and Other ‘Bully Breeds’
Photographer Douglas Sonders has put together a beautiful campaign seeking to educate the public in hopes of changing opionions preconceived notions about pit bulls and other “bully breeds” with his photo series aptly named “Not A Bully“.
The term ‘bully breed’ covers 14 popular dog breeds including French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers. Two of the most popular domestic dog breeds in the country, Boxers and Rottweilers, are both designated bully breeds. Despite their popularity, many people still believe these dogs are inherently mean, aggressive, or even violent. Dispelling these rumors is the focus of Not a Bully….Many communities treat all bully breed dogs with extreme prejudice regardless of their temperament or personality. Shelters are crowded with loving bully breed dogs, cruelly limited in their chances of finding forever homes. Through beautiful portraits and inspiring rescue stories, Not a Bully hopes to eradicate the negativity towards these deserving pets and give them a fighting chance at a forever home!
The campaign was recently featured on the National Geographic‘ Cesar Millan: Love My Pit Bull, featuring dog trainer Cesar Millan who loaned his pit bulls Emma and Junior to the cause. Other donations can be made through various bully breed charities.
