Meet Sadie, a one and a half year old Miniature Australian Shepherd. Sadie is a lively little dog who enjoys chasing birds and deer in her back yard. Her favorite activity is practicing the ‘classic shepherd’ herding technique on her big sister, a Miniature Schnauzer named Abby.
Sadie loves to jump into any available lap and curl up for a nap or some good petting. For her favorite food, a Charlee Bear Dog Treat, she will show off all her best tricks such as sit up, high five, and shake. At night she can be found on the bed, sandwiched between her owners, with her tongue slightly hanging out of her mouth, dreaming of another fun filled day.
The Miniature Australian Shepherd, also known as the Miniature Aussie, was developed in the 1960’s through the selective breeding of small Australian Shepherds. This breed is not recognized by the American 
Kennel Club as a variety of the Australian Shepherd, but can be registered with other registries such as the National Stock Dog Registry.
This compact breed loves to work, and excels at agility, obedience, disc dog, flyball, and herding. The Miniature Australian Shepherd is an intelligent, loyal, playful, affectionate, and courageous breed. An excellent pet for families with children, this dog loves to please and is easy to train. However, they can become easily bored, so plenty of exercise, both mental and physical, is needed to prevent a dog from becoming destructive.
As a herding breed, Miniature Australian Shepherds will herd other animals in the home. They will even attempt to herd people by nipping at heels, a behavior which should be quickly stopped.
Miniature Australian Shepherds are so adorable they stop most people in their tracks. They are perpetual puppies that fit well in today’s modern lifestyle. They are easy to groom, are average shedders, do well living in apartments with regular exercise, and they make excellent working dogs and love to have a ‘job’.

Meet Molly, a seven year old Miniature Schnauzer who loves to demonstrate her true Terrier traits by practicing a mine sweeping technique during walks, cornering rats in the garden, and squaring off with Mountain Lions on TV.
Molly enjoys barking at her own reflection, playing hide and seek, and nudging hands for a good belly rub. Her favorite activities include shredding paper, sleeping, and begging for Wheat Thins.
The Miniature Schnauzer originated from Germany in the late 1800’s, and is believed to be a cross between the Standard Schnauzer and the Affenpinscher or Poodle. Their compact size made them ideal for ratting, while their bold attitude made them excellent farm dogs to guard herds and families.
Miniature Schnauzers are sturdy, little, compact dogs that are minimal shedders, but they do require regular grooming. A low-fat, unsweetened diet is recommended since diabetes and other health problems caused by high fat levels are a known problem for this breed.
This friendly, playful, intelligent breed is easy to train and loves to show its Terrier traits by hunting small prey such as rats, birds and snakes. Miniature Schnauzers are very vocal and make excellent watchdogs. 
They also make great family dogs, but should be socialized and supervised around small children.

Meet Andrew, a seven year old, forty three pound Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Andrew is a lovable dog who enjoys cuddle time and will whine to sit closer to the ones he loves.
His hobbies include chewing squeaky toys while laying on his back, going on car rides, and being carried like a toddler. He loves belly rubs, to relax and sleep. Although he enjoys his walks, he is a bit lazy and will lay down while eating his food, which is sometimes served on the couch!
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, simply know as the Wheaten Terrier, originated from Ireland and was used as a farm dog to hunt vermin, herd livestock and guard the farm. First brought to the United States in 1943, the Wheaten Terrier was only recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1973.
A happy and playful dog, the Wheaten Terrier responds well to positive training and makes an excellent watch dog, barking alerts. Excellent for people with allergies, Wheaten Terriers have a soft silky coat that doesn’t 
shed, but requires frequent combing. Known for being one of the least aggressive Terriers, they are great with children and other dogs, and make wonderful family pets.
Wheaten Terriers have a life expectancy of 12-15 years, but they are are sensitive to heat so care must be taken to keep them cool. They can suffer from allergies such as flea and food, and can be susceptible to two fatal illnesses: protein loss from the kidneys called protein-losing nephropathy (PLN), or protein loss from the intestines called protein-losing enteropathy (PLE).
Energetic and fun loving the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is excellent for agility, obedience, and tracking. For more information or to adopt a Wheaten Terrier please visit the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America at www.scwtca.org.

Meet Tiffany, a three year old, seven and a half pound Yorkshire Terrier, commonly referred to as a Yorkie, “Oh my gosh how cute!” or “Can I hold her?”.
Tiffany’s favorite activities include sunbathing, bird-watching, hiking, and going on car rides. She communicates via doggie grumbles and leg nudges when she wants food, walks, or to play.
A typical model and regular ham, Tiffany knows how to pose and always looks directly into the camera. She enjoys being groomed, wearing clothes and sporting hair bows – she is a true princess.
As Dog Chatter’s K9 Representative, alongside her Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom-Pon sister, Kimber, Tiffany is in charge of all product testing and reviews. So be on the look out for Tiffany and Kimber Approved products!
Originating from Yorkshire, England in the 1800’s, the Yorkshire Terrier was used to catch rats in clothing mills and mines. The Yorkie’s beautiful flowing coat, docked tail, and trimmed ears soon became popular with high society, transforming Yorkies from ratters to fashion dogs. Yorkies were quickly brought to America where they were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
Ranging from four to seven pounds the tiny Yorkshire Terrier is part of the toy breed family. Not to be confused with ‘Teacup’, a term used as an advertising ploy by people selling undersized dogs less than four pounds, ‘Teacups’ should be avoided. ‘Teacup’ dogs may suffer from hypoglycemia, abnormal skull formations, early tooth loss, digestion problems and other physical and mental issues. Not to mention they are so small that breeding them may result in death of both the dog and its whelp.
Energetic, adventurous, and intelligent, Yorkies are excellent watchdogs and companions, but can become bossy and demanding if pack leadership isn’t claimed by the owner right away. They can be tough to house break and require a lot of attention while training.
The Yorkshire Terrier coat is made of hair and not fur, keeping shedding at a minimum but grooming at a maximum. Their small size makes them susceptible to leg breaks so care must be taken with Yorkies on high furniture or with children.
The Yorkie is a bold and independent breed that is loyal, travels well, and is very clever. For more information on the Yorkshire Terrier, or to adopt please visit the American Kennel Club at www.akc.org/breeds/yorkshire_terrier.

Meet Brandy, a five year old Pembroke Corgi who loves being the center of attention. Her favorite activities include playing fetch, going on long walks, and barking for attention in groups of three or more.
Brandy can be seen on TV as the star of a doggie daycare advertisement, and is often seen in public sporting bright red lipstick kiss marks on her forehead from her owners loving kisses.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi originated from Pembrokeshire, Wales and is one of the oldest and smallest of the herding dog breeds. The Corgi, meaning “dog” in Celtic, comes in two breeds; the Pembroke and the Cardigan. The Pembroke is distinguished by its lack of a tail and lighter coat, while the Cardigan Corgi has a long tail and slightly longer body.
In the 10th century Corgis were used to herd cattle, sheep, and horses by barking and nipping at the heels of the herd. Their short legs and long bodies allowed them to roll out of the way of kicking cattle while herding.
Hard-working, loyal, active and intelligent, Pembroke Corgis are friendly, outgoing, alert, and make great watchdogs. They are most famous for being the favorite breed of Queen Elizabeth II who currently owns seven Corgis.
Corgis can easily become overweight and must be exercised regularly. Care must be taken when feeding because excessive weight gain can cause serious back problems.
