 The
"Dog Encyclopedia" was formed for dog lovers, pet
enthusiasts, and future pet owners. As a dog owner and
someone who cares deeply for animals and wildlife, we wanted
our "Dog Encyclopedia" to be a website that could empower
pet owners to create to the most positive, loving
environment for their dogs. We realize that adding a dog is
synonymous with adding a new member to your family.
Mission Statement:
The goal for "Dog Encyclopedia" is to provide a quality
online experience for dog owners and enthusiasts. We
designed our website to be both educational and enjoyable.
By using simple, concise language and adding photos through
out the site "Dog Encyclopedia" has created a place for both
experienced and new pet owners. It is our goal to provide
quality information to empower pet owners to make informed
and educated decisions when it comes to purchasing, breeding
or caring for a dog. Our complete alphabetical listing of
dog breeds, complete with photos, provides potential dog
owners with valuable information, regarding the size,
temperament, and special needs of each type of dog. Each
section in our index of "Dog Encyclopedia" helps to educate
pet owners, enabling both the dog, and the owner to have a
safe, high quality experience that allows your pet to reach
it's fullest potential.
Ads & Links:
We have added both ads and links throughout our website.
"Dog Encyclopedia" hopes that dog enthusiasts find these
links helpful. While many links were found both helpful and
educational to us, as dog lovers, we at "Dog Encyclopedia"
are in no way responsible for any third party information on
our site. We offer the opportunity to purchase both text and
banner ads to be placed on any page of our website. For

We are located in Citrus County, the geographic center of
Florida. Decades of community determination have saved the
precious coastal marshes, the pure, clean-running springs
and the rivers and lakes from the development and pollution
that are so prevalent elsewhere. Today, as in centuries
past, a visitor to our area can find nature at it's best.
From the saltwater pursuits in the Gulf of Mexico, springs,
rivers and subtropical fauna and flora in Citrus County’s
west side, and upland terrain drifting down to large
freshwater lakes crying out for
anglers,
swimmers and boaters over on the east side, this is truly a
part of the nature coast you will want to experience. West
Indian Manatees, those large, beloved marine mammals that
graze underwater vegetation, are frequent visitors to the
Crystal River area, because they cannot tolerate the
wintertime chilly water of the Gulf of Mexico. Manatees
prefer the steady 72-degrees of the spring-fed river.
Together with neighboring Homosassa, Crystal River is the
site of the largest gathering of manatees in North America
and the only place in the nation where people can legally
swim and snorkel with them.
 Although
we have had many pets, our current dog is a three year
dachshund named Snickers (after the candy bar)! He is
currently recovering from a nasty encounter with a coyote.
Here is a classic picture of him! Snickers enjoys a little
sunbathing on our patio on most mornings. He is very
energetic and a great watchdog too. Snickers loves playing
catch, but we have to keep his ball hid in the drawer. No
matter how many times you throw the ball, he always wants
more!! The picture at the top of the page is my son Justin,
his wife Alesha and their baby girl Sassy! This was taken in
January 2008 and it was the first time my son had seen snow.
Sassy seems to be an old pro at playing in the snow though!
The picture was taken in the upper peninsula of Michigan,
where Alesha is from. |
