Dog breads we're considering for May 2010
Small Munsterlander
By nature the dog is friendly, inquisitive and eager to please, with a dash that makes it a pleasure to work with in the field and a co-operative attitude that also makes it a pleasure in the home. They have a saint-like devotion towards their masters and make excellent playmates for children. They exhibit great purpose, desire and a fiery intensity in the search and handling of wild game. Pudelpointers, as a rule, are excellent water dogs.
Height: 17 to 20 inches
Weight: 35 to 45 pounds
Coat: Soft and silky, loosely waved or curly
Life span: 12 to 15 years
The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is an energetic and playful dog. They require patience and consistent positive training. Harsh methods will often result in fear aggression. A positive, even-handed approach works best with these intelligent yet headstrong terriers. They are enthusiastic greeters and will often jump up in order to lick a person's face, commonly referred to as the "Wheaten greetin”. These dogs do best when they are exercised regularly. Wheatens are very protective of their families, and although they may bark an alert at strangers, they rarely get aggressive. Most likely, they'll jump all over a stranger trying to give them kisses. Wheatens love attention and they love humans.
Height: 19.75 to 22 inches
Weight: 40 to 60 pounds
Coat: medium-length with some feathering
Life span: 12 to 14 years

In fact, they tend to make friends with almost everyone they meet. They get along with children and other animals. An owner who enjoys the outdoors and is active would be a good owner for this type of dog.

Try walking a mile is someone else's shoes!!
Experts: Abductees such as Jaycee stay out of fear
By EVELYN NIEVES (AP) – 33 minutes ago
SAN FRANCISCO — In the 18 years that Jaycee Lee Dugard allegedly spent captive in Phillip Garrido's backyard, shielded from the world by trees, tarps, tents and tool sheds, she no doubt had a chance or two to tell someone the truth.
Customers of Garrido's Antioch home-based printing business say the young woman whom they knew as Garrido's daughter "Allissa" designed business cards and helped with the family business.
They never suspected that "Allissa" was a South Lake Tahoe girl kidnapped in 1991 at age 11.
Neighbors also had no idea that Garrido's two young daughters — now 11 and 15 — were Dugard's offspring, fathered by Garrido.
Why didn't Jaycee Dugard escape, reach out, scream for help?
The question arises every time an abductee is found with their abductors after years of hiding. But the question, and its implicit criticism of the survivors, is unfair, say experts on kidnapping.
"It's really important that people not jump to judgments or conclusions in these cases," said JoAnn Behrman-Lippert, a Reno, Nev.-based psychologist who has done extensive research on child abduction cases. "We know there are many cases like this, and it's very detrimental to the survivors to have such a simplistic view that does not take into account the actual situation the person was in."
