World's Meanest Dog May Not Be the Breed You Think It Is!
When we think about stereotypically "mean dogs," I'm pretty sure we can all name those most maligned. But statistically, the world's meanest breed isn't a Pit Bull, Bulldog, or even a Doberman — it's an English Cocker Spaniel!
A recent study by the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Barcelona shows more reported cases of aggression by the English Cocker Spaniel than any other breed, followed by Rottweilers, Boxers, Yorkshire Terriers, and German Shepherds.
One of Oprah’s Dogs Killed by Virus, Sadie Seeking Treatment
A spokesperson for Oprah Winfrey confirmed to People Pets that one of the puppies Oprah showcased on her show, Ivan, died over the weekend. Apparently Sadie, Oprah's newly adopted cocker spaniel who the world met last week, is also being treated for the virus and “is getting stronger.”
According to veterinarians, puppies around the country are suffering from a new strain of the disease called Canine Parvovirus Type 2c. Little Sadie was exposed to Ivan before her second shot so she is being treated with "plasma from hyperimmunized healthy dogs” (as you can see from the picture Oprah shared on her show) as a precaution.
Found! Sadie's Cable-Knit Cashmere Sweater
The minute I heard Oprah say Sadie has a Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater, you know I was off to find it! Well, it's pretty tough to be certain, since the episode barely flashed on a photo of her dog with it on (which I think accounts for the shade difference). Either way, there's only one pink sweater still offered — this Shawl Collar Cashmere Sweater.
Sadie Makes Her Doggy Debut on Oprah!
I was pretty anxious to sneak a peek at Oprah's new pup, and was so jealous of my mom, who got to catch Sadie's national debut on East Coast time. Well, everyone, her cuteness is well worth the wait. Although the pooch was named Amanda in the shelter, Oprah's calling her new Cocker Spaniel Sadie.
Breaking News! Oprah Winfrey Adopts a Puppy
I certainly remember when Oprah lost her beloved Sophie in 2008, prompting a special on puppy mills and a vow to adopt her next dog. Well, nearly a year later, she's made good on her word as an eight-week-old, blond-colored Cocker Spaniel joined her furry family on Sunday.Lisa Nowak, a rep for PAWS Chicago, confirmed to Usmagazine.com that Oprah fell in love with the lil pup – named Amanda by staffers – and was excited to bring the baby home. Not only did she keep that promise, she also has donated money in Sophie's name for a room at the no-kill shelter.
In the Spotlight: Bob and Ned's Big Adventure (With Naomi)
Naomi Watts has a baby on board in addition to Bags on Board when taking her two cute pups for a jaunt in Soho over the weekend. Ned (the Cocker Spaniel) and Bob (the Yorkie) look pretty chill so the one-handed technique seems to be working well for this walkie.
Now, I notice both dogs have matching leashes – if you've got more than one pooch, do you buy unique leads for each furry friend or do you buy the same one in multiples?
Pet Pic of the Day: Daisy's Fort
I remember building more than a few elaborate forts and castles from boxes, tables, and blankets when I was younger. Nine-week-old Daisy here is in her prime fort building stage, but has taken a much simpler approach – just climb under the coffee table for a nice nap! I wish I would have known how easy it could have been.
Pet Pic of the Day: Charlie Brown Is a Buckeye Fan!
The hot fashion of this Summer season has definitely been team sports, so it's totally appropriate that Charlie shows off his pride for Ohio State! How did that game against Ohio go on Saturday? I didn't get to catch it on ESPN.

Pet Pic of the Day: Nap Time!
It looks like nap time for BFFs Charlie and Nugent! Both of megbucks3's adoro pets must have tired themselves out from playing all day long. Adding to my list of questions about dogs, this piccy makes me wonder if all dogs like to sleep on their backs!
