  3. I am actually pleased that some bird dogs are in the list. Most of them are spotted to blend in with the surroundings, which makes them as effective companion dogs when hunting game. The patterns also adds to the charm, as this is not fairly common among dogs. I learned a lot about bird dogs from an article I want to share with you guy here: http://dogsaholic.com/breeds/info/bird-dog-breeds.html

  9. Gorgeous spotted dogs
    Pets can't do much to take care of their health on their own. If they frequently spend time outdoors, they can chew a bit of grass when they're feeling nauseous or seek other medicinal plants. However, once they're indoors, their care of their own health is limited to things like drinking water, exercising, and taking steps to manage their mental health.

    Pet parents can do a lot to help their pets maintain good health. Once they get into the habit, it can seem as easy as 1, 2, 3.
