Check out this cool graffiti we discovered in a back alley in Barcelona. It's a dog (notice the collar)!

Recently while skiing at Beaver Creek, our company President was presented with two trail options: Lupine or Loco. Can you guess which run he chose? Tell us which trail he chose, and why! Post your comment below, or on our Facebook page. We'll select one random entrant to receive a free Lupine collar and leash set of their choice! Comments must be posted by midnight tonight, April 1st (EST). Good luck!

Congratulations to Hickory, the Best In Show Winner at Westminster Kennel Club's 2011 Dog Show last night.

Hickory, (official name GCH Foxcliffe Hickory Wind) is an adorable Scottish Deerhound. She trotted the ring with confidence and grace. We were super pleased to see her take the trophy. She seems like a big sweetheart!

However, as this excellent New York Times article points out, Familiar Breeds Get Little Respect at Westminster. In fact, America's most owned dog breed, the Labrador Retriever, has never won Westminster. The Golden Retriever has also never won Best In Show. Where is the love for America's favorite big dogs?

To be fair, 2008's victory by Uno the Beagle was a wonderful nod to one of America's favorite pets. The German Shepherd and the Pug have at least one victory in the show's 135 year history. But for us Labrador and Golden fans, I guess we'll just have to wait!
