Popular Types of DOG Carriers DOG carriers can be a necessity if you are traveling across country, or even a distance to your local vet. What DOG carrier is best for your bulldog depends on what your specific needs are. Some thought on these questions are important, since prices can range anywhere from the cheap ($30) to the extravagant ($1,000). One of the most popular types of DOG carriers is the wheeled carrier. In general, wheeled DOG carriers have a handle that makes them easy to pull along so you don't have to carry them. As with any type of DOG carrier, you need to make sure you have the right size. For most DOG carriers (which are generally designed for smaller DOGS: it simply doesn't make sense to make one for a St. Bernard), the "weight" scales can be divided into three types: small, medium, and large. An American foxhound became one of the most amazing mothers in the dog world when she set a record for the largest litter of puppies in 1944. She had not one, not two, not even ten, but twenty-three puppies! Small DOG carriers are usually good for DOGS that go up to eight pounds. For DOGS slightly larger than that, the medium scale of DOG carriers are good for DOGS from 8-15 lbs. A large DOG carrier is often good for up to a full 30 lbs. In addition to just the basic weight outlines, however, you still want to check out to make sure that your pet will be comfortable in whatever you choose. Front DOG carriers are another popular choice, though this only work for very small pets. These are shaped liked like vests, and let you carry your little DOG or puppy around without having to use your hands. You'll want to look for one with shoulder straps that adjust for comfort and have solid padding, especially at the bottom. The Papillon is a small dog breed with distinctive large, fringed ears that earned it its name, the French word for butterfly. The Papillon is believed to be one of the oldest of the toy breeds. There are also DOG tote carriers. You'll want to look for totes with appropriate ventilation and that are easy to open and close. Another consideration is that since these types of totes are used often with traveling, you'll want to look for totes with good grips on the bottom to keep it from sliding about. German shepherd dogs are great working dogs. They are often used as police dogs, rescue dogs and guides for the blind. In fact, one of them, a guide dog named Orient, once led a blind hiker the entire 2100 mile length of the Appalachian Trail. There is a grammar debate about the Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). The plural, "Borzois", may be found in dictionaries. However, the Borzoi Club of America asserts that "Borzoi" is the preferred form for both singular and plural.
