The Pomeranian is a classy looking toy breed,

being small and fluffy with a fox-like face.

  Pomeranians are lively, smart, independent, and strong-willed. If properly socialized, they can usually get along well with other pets. They catch on quickly when training, and can learn lots of tricks. When selecting a Pomeranian, pay special attention to the condition of its eyes and teeth. It is also advisable to check bloodlines for hereditary problems.

Harlequin Macaws are some of the most beautiful and well behaved of all the hybrid macaws.

   The Harlequin Macaws are a cross between a Blue and Gold Macaw and a Green-winged Macaw which makes for a very affectionate, energetic, and captivating youngster.  Both parents of the Harlequin Macaw also contribute to the striking colors of their offspring, though the father’s have the dominant gene and this will influence their final appearance.

   " Frida" shown above has a Green-winged Macaw father, and the young Harlequin Macaw shown below has a Blue and Gold father. They both are very sweet affectionate birds and wonderful pets.

Turkish Van Cats

Turkish Van Cat"This is a unique cat breed, it is a natural swimmer!"5/2/2008

   The Turkish Van is an ancient breed with a friendly, lively disposition.

  This is a very social breed that develops a great fondness for its owners. They are very playful and tend to “teach” the owners; many know how to play fetch and will drop toys at your feet until you join the game. The Turkish Van is an excellent family cat.

  This is one of the very few cat breeds that will gladly accompany its owner in the water. The breed exhibits a natural affinity for water and is often called the "swimming cat". This is also one of the few long-haired breeds that requires little grooming.
