Customer Review: This is not for someone looking for a PET dog or accurate info.
I agree and shared the laughter with the other reviewers. My favorite error was on Great Dane where she said there are six colors recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and proceeds to list only five. Stop, reverse, play again. Yep five. Interesting.
However, my problem is that I want a pet, not a show dog, and from looking at the cover and the title I was led to believer that’s what I’d learn about on this DVD. Those cute pet type dogs in the picture aren’t what’s on this DVD. If you’re looking for a show dog this might be an okay (and funny) DVD to watch. I’d never heard of or seen a lot of the dogs on this DVD, which made it somewhat interesting and worth the one star. Seems like it was shot in Canada and not the U.S.
You’ll do a LOT better off surfing the net for breed information than watching this DVD.
Customer Review: A dog breed misinformation fest
I agree with the first reviewer - there are a startling number of inaccuracies in this video. The Dobe-mann thing got me too - it is obvious to me that the producers of this video did not seek out the best representatives of the breeds. The woman speaking of behalf of the Doberman breed is frankly embarrassing - her grammar!
I too was astonished at the incorrect information given for exercise requirements. A mastiff needs the highest level of exercise - higher than a Labrador Retriever?? Ridiculous. A pug needs no exercise at all?? I think that is an irresponsible thing to say - all dogs, no matter what breed, need walks and excercise.
Some other notable moments from this video include the Miniature Schnauzer ‘expert’ stating the breed orginated in England, the Rottweiler ‘expert’ saying the breed was from the German town of ‘Rot-wale’, and watching a growing wad of spittle emerge from the mouth of the German Shorthair Pointer ‘expert’ as she spoke.
There are numerous other inaccuracies/strange moments I won’t bother to mention. The best way to watch this video would be to do so with it muted - that way you are seeing the best part of it - the dogs themselves - while weeding out all the misinformation by the breed ‘experts’.

Littermaid LMT100 LitterMaid Cat Privacy Tent 
Designed to fit around LitterMaid’s self-cleaning litter boxes (or any litter box), this roomy tent provides tabby with privacy and can be set up as a den for play and sleep even without a litter box inside. It’s made of waterproof vinyl and can be wiped out with a damp cloth or washed in warm, soapy water. Used around a litter box, the six-sided tent confines litter to the box and keeps it from being scattered around. It unzips all the way around to provide easy access for a litter box to be refilled or cleaned. The tent measures 29 inches long, 18-1/2 inches wide, and 16-3/4 inches high and assembles easily without tools (instructions included). –Fred Brack
Customer Review: Tent makes it actually possible to keep a litterbox in an apartment
Before we got this tent, the entire 7×7 area around the closet where we kept the litterbox was useless for anything because of the smell and tracked litter. After purchasing this, I realized the only drawback is that you have to routinely double-check the tent to make sure the refuse tray isn’t full because there’s no “oh my goodness, someone has *got* to change that litter box NOW” smell to clue you in. The tent seems sturdy enough, but our li’l girl doesn’t jump up on it. I never unzip it, I just pull the box toward the front of the tent and open the tray through the pulled-back tent flaps. There’s no way to fill it with fresh litter from the box, though, so I keep a large plastic cup to transfer it. If you push the box all the way back in the tent, the litter is caught in the tent and then can be shaken out. I am very satisfied with this tent, and I’m buying one for friends.
Customer Review: Poorly designed
Pros: Keeps litter better contained. It falls inside the tent or right in front of the entrance, instead of all over the room. Gives the cats privacy. Keeps the smell down a bit. Cons: It’s difficult to get the zipper closed. The litterbox doesn’t fit out the entrance easily (and unzipping it is out of the question). It’s difficult to reach inside and scoop out clumps that the littermaid rake missed (and it misses lots of clumps, so I have to deal with this problem 3-4 times a day).
