These pet podcasts are all about dogs! We'll talk about dogs large, small and in between; purebred dogs, designer dogs and mixed breeds. When we discuss breeds and mixes, we'll take a look at what constitutes a breed or a mix; and the traits of some specific breeds. We'll also take a look at how you can choose the right breed and dog for your family.
We will also talk about the joys (and hassles) of living with a dog because when we share our lives with dogs, we are bringing another species into our home and there are often misunderstandings and miscommunications... on Pet Life Radio.
