McCall Pet Newsstand

The L.A. Times has the story of how the BBC is dropping coverage of the Crufts Dog Show, after exposing poor breeding practices that are creating "mutant" dogs in the documentary, Pedigree Dogs Exposed. The video is a must watch when you have time. It is about an hour long and is just disgusting what some of these breeders and judges are doing.

In response to the above, Dogmagazine.net has a story on how Crufts Kennel Club is starting a canine genetic research center.


Explore Baltimore County has a piece on doggy detectives who find missing dogs.

The Las Vegas Sun has the latest piece on Greg Louganis, who has gone from diving competitons to canine competitions.


KIFI in Post Falls has an update on the cat licensing initiative that failed.


On the local front, KBCI is reporting that managers for the Ridge to Rivers trail system in Boise are looking at potentially closing the entire trail system for a month or more next winter to reduce erosion.

Finally, news of the weird. The AP has the story of a golden eagle who had an encounter with a tractor trailer, and lived.
