As dog owners and people who care deeply for animals and wildlife, we wanted our Dog Encyclopedia to be a website that could empower pet owners to create the most positive, loving environment for their dogs. Dog Encyclopedia realizes that owning a dog is like adding a new member to your family.
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.
Our complete alphabetical listing of dog breeds provides potential dog
owners with valuable information, regarding the size, temperament, and
special needs of each type of dog. On each individual dog breed page
viewers will also find the dog's AKC group, along with the the dogs
weight, coloring, and height.
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!!
Dog Encyclopedia's goal is to provide a quality online experience for
dog owners and pet lovers. Dog Encyclopedia is designed to be both
an educational and enjoyable website for dog owners. By using simple,
concise language and adding photos throughout the site, Dog Encyclopedia
has created a place for both experienced and new dog owners.
In creating our website we needed some help. Website Creations created our website and many of the stock photos you see are from 123RF Stock Photos.
