Celebrity Fashion Threatens Native Dog Breeds

28 days ago

paris hilton w/ chihuahua Native UK Dog Breeds at Risk – Well, maybe it’s not as dramatic as Noah choosing which species would survive the great flood, but it’s a trend that would certainly make Darwin lift an eyebrow. According to recent Kennel Club statistics, Britain’s native dog breeds at now at risk in part because demand has shifted to more fashionable breeds showcased by celebrities. 25 dog breeds including the formerly popular English Setter (England’s oldest dog breed) are now considered vulnerable (extinction risk) because of low registration numbers.  Registrations for English Setters have dropped by a third since last year, (only 234 registrations in 2011) while registrations for breeds like the Chihuahua have increased by a quarter. cardigan welsh corgi puppy This demand for celebrity dogs can also give breeds whose numbers are dwindling a boost. Consider the fact that registrations for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi (a favorite of the Royal Family) soared by over 130% ...

The Bachelor, Ben Flajnik, Brings His Dog on a Date

42 days ago

Ben Flajnik with his dog & date, Courtney Ben Flajnik's dog, Scotch Ben Flajnik, aka “The Bachelor,” was happy to bring his dog on a date in his hometown of Sonoma, California. Apparently his dog, a Jack Russell Terrier named, “Scotch,” (why would a winemaker name his dog, Scotch!?) approved of date Courtney Robertson, but did begin to howl as Flajnik moved in for a kiss. “You’re ruining the moment, Buddy,” he replied to the dog. When Courtney, a model, mentioned that Scotch was heavier than he looked, Ben replied, “He’s a little over 20 pounds… When he stays at Grandma’s house, he puts on a few lb’s.” We’re hoping that Flajnik brings his dog on more dates, as no one is a better judge of true character than a dog! You can watch Scotch accompany Ben on his date below:

64 days ago

Don't eat the yellow snow! Fergie, Josh, & Dachshund Fergie & Josh Christmas Card – Like many of us, this year’s Christmas card from Fergie and Josh Duhamel features their dogs; in this case a caricature of their Dachshunds named Meatloaf and Zoe. When asked by US Weekly what she wants for Christmas, Fergie replied, “For my dogs to use the bathroom outside!” Fergie w/ Meatloaf & Zoe Nice touch that one of the dogs is writing, “Happy Holidays” in pee on snowman Josh. (well, at least they are outside!) In any event, the card is a nice contrast to the cold & obnoxious Kardashian card this year. Looks like Fergie won’t be ringing in the new year with her wiener dogs this year, as she is due to be in LA hosting Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

Adele With Her Dachshund Post-Surgery

75 days ago

Adele & her Dachshund, Louie Adele, who just had successful surgery on her vocal chord, was seen for the first time outside her London home with her dog; a Dachshund named, “Louie,” who was seen peeking out of his dog carrier. The surgery reportedly went well, and Louie has reportedly been very supportive. The male dog was named after legendary singer, Louie Armstrong, but was actually almost named “Britney Spears.” Adele says, “He was born on the night I went to see Britney Spears in London. I almost called him Britney even though he was a boy. But it only lasted a few hours until my hangover stopped.” Note to self: don’t name a dog when hungover. Anyway, you can see more of Adele and Louie in this 2011 video of an interview she did for a British radio station:

Paris Hilton Orders Filet Mignon for Stray Dog

99 days ago

Paris Hilton orders filet mignon for a stray dog While on vacation in Bali this week, heiress Paris Hilton ordered a filet mignon dinner (reportedly costing about $75) for a hungry stray dog outside the restaurant where she was dining. She later tweeted, “Saw a starving stray dog on the beach of the restaurant… Made me so sad. So we ordered him a filet mignon, he loved it!” She later added, “The cruel treatment of these stray dogs has upset me so much I can’t sleep. I’m researching the internet to see what I can do to help.” Well, even though she got some great press for her $75, I doubt that it was just a publicity stunt. Regardless of your opinions of Paris, you can’t argue with the fact that she made the stray dog happy w/ a tasty steak dinner! photo courtesy of Paris Hilton

Miranda Lambert Adds Another Stray Dog

104 days ago

Miranda Lambert w/ dog, Ophelia Although there is no talk of Country Music star Miranda Lambert and new husband Blake Shelton expecting a baby, the two were happy to welcome dog #8 last week. The lucky stray purebred bloodhound apparently walked onto the couple’s Oklahoma property and was snatched up by Miranda to join her 7 other rescue dogs. “Full blooded 7 month old blood hound. Ophelia is what I named her. Lord not another one … “ she tweeted to her fans. Although “Ophelia” is also a tragic character in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the name is derived from the Greek word for “help,” and it looks like the hungry stray may have gotten just that from Miranda and Blake. In an update on Monday, she tweeted, “Vet said she is all good and pretty healthy for a stray. Awww!” She also shared the photo above with the caption, “Someone who likes to give hugs.” Good luck, Miranda! Hope this puppy is your good luck charm at the Grammys.

Sausage, the Famous Greek Riot Dog

Sausage sticks it to The Man - REUTERS/Yannis Behrakis Viva la Sausage! Sausage the Greek Riot Dog – While the Greek economy comes apart at the seems, most dogs still prefer to leave the drama to humans. All, that is, except “Sausage the riot dog.” Sausage (or “Loukanikos”) has been a part of every protest in Syntagma Square (central Athens) for years now, and has become a celebrity in Greece and abroad. When people took to the street yesterday to protest the latest government cuts, Sausage was at the front lines again, barking at police, and disrupting their attempts to hit protesters with batons. don't tase me bro! Interestingly, although Greeks are up to their necks in economic problems, they still serve as an inspiration to much of the world in their handling of stray dogs. In Greece, stray dogs are not euthanized, or left to rot in tiny city kennels. They are neutered, given vaccines, and even microchipped. All 2000 or so of them wear collars and tags, making them ea...

182 days ago

Mila Kunis with weird hair & her French bulldog, Audrey Mila & her dog, Shorty Mila Kunis recently described herself as “not a big attention-seeking person,” wanting “the simple things in life,” often preferring time at home with her two dogs, named Shorty (a corgi, beagle, chihuahua mix) and Audrey (an 8 year old French Bulldog). Mila recently said, “Shorty’s the best dog in the world but has this thing with lizards now. He thinks they’re fun. He’s like, ‘Here mom, look at this’ and spits half a dead lizard at my feet. It’s gross and he’s all, ‘Yay, look what I did’. Nice. Hopefully with all the recent attention the “Friends With Benefits” star is getting, she still has time for those nights at home with the dogs!
