Rhodesian Ridgeback
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is dog breed indigenous to Southern Africa. It was used to hunt lions in Southern Africa. This is most likely why this dog is known for its bravery and willingness to take on anything. Its European forebears can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa, who crossed their dogs with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoisan people (referred to by the colonists as "Hottentots").

Fox Terrier
public/images/temp/Fox-Terrier-1.jpg The name Fox Terrier or Foxy refers primarily to two different breeds of dog, the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier, that were independently bred in England in the mid-19th century.

The Smooth Fox Terrier has a smooth, flat, but hard and dense coat, whereas the Wire Fox Terrier coat should appear broken with a dense, wiry texture.

Boerboel
The Boerboel is a large working molosser breed of dog from South Africa. The word "boerboel" derives from "boer", the Afrikaans/Dutch word for "farmer"; boerboel thus translates as either "farmer's dog" or "Boer's dog" in Afrikaans/Dutch. There is a lengthy history of breeding the boerboel in South Africa, where the dog was bred with the purpose of guarding the homestead. While it is uncertain from which breeds the dog originated, it is postulated that the dog derived from interbreeding of indigenous African species with breeds brought from Dutch, French and British settlers. The dog is a heavy mastiff breed with characteristic sand colouration with a black mask, and a height that varies from 64-70 centimetres for males, and 59-65 for females. This dog is the most protective dog breed that is not aggressive. They are obedient and intelligent, and have strong territorial instincts, particularly in domestic situations. By nature, the Boerboel is confident and dominant in its environment, but requires human companionship; if left alone for regular extended periods, they can become destructive, reckless and dangerous.

Flat-Coated Retriever
The Flat-Coated Retriever is a gundog breed from the United Kingdom. It was developed as a retriever on both land and in the water. Flat-coats make exceptional family companions, bonding very closely with all members of the family. Compared with other sporting breeds, Flat-coats have a relatively low activity level indoors, but outdoors can play, run and retrieve tirelessly. Flat-coats given too little exercise, companionship and mental stimulation, however, can become overly active or destructive indoors, especially if left alone for extended periods of time. They are wonderful with older children but may be too exuberant for very small children. Early obedience training and socialisation are highly recommended. The well-socialised and well-trained Flat-coat is an optimistic, enthusiastic dog with a constantly wagging tail who is a friend to all. More Breed Information | Flat-Coated Retriever Photo Gallery |
Bandog
The term Bandog (also known as Bandogge) originated around 1250-1300 in Middle England, referring to a mastiff type dog that was bound by a chain during the daytime and was released at night to guard against intruders. In 1570 Johannes Caius published a book in Latin which in 1876 was translated into English by Abraham Fleming under the name Of Englishe Dogges, in which he described Bandog as a vast, stubborn, ugly, eager dog of heavy body.

Hunting (Felids)
Hunting Dogs (Felids) refers to those few Hunting Dogs which are used primarily on large felids (members of the Cat Family), typically lions in the Old World and cougars in the New World. A pack may be used to track the animal and keep it at bay, which combines giving voice to the sound known as ‘’baying’’ and surrounding and confining the animal or they may be expected to engage the animal in combat and seize it, in the manner of the catch dogs used in Boar hunting, until the huntsmen have an opportunity to dispatch it. Because of this dual function, such dogs are often among the largest of all Hunting Dogs, and typically are of essentially Molosser type. More Breed Information | Hunting (Felids) Photo Gallery |
