only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
It’s no secret that I’m a dog person. Just look around my website and you’ll see that my Pit Bull, Belle, has her own page of pictures. Yes, I love dogs. Oh, sure, I like my mom’s cat, Calliope. She’s almost 18 years old and as much a part of the family as anyone. But I’ll choose a dog over a cat any day.
My husband, kids and I enjoy watching dog shows on TV and we’ve become quite good at being able to identify the various breeds. Or so I thought. The kids and I have been playing a Breed Recognition Game and so far, our high score is 127 out of 157. That didn’t even get us into the top 50!
The funny thing about this little game is that every time I go to review it and write about it, I start playing it and can’t quit. I’m determined to remember those breeds that are not quite so familiar to me and improve my score. And yet, every time, I get 127 out of 157. How do I keep doing that?
Maybe the best part of playing this game is the look on my kids’ faces when I get the dog breeds correct. They didn’t think their old mom knew that much about dogs. It’s good to remind your kids now and then that you’re still the smartest person alive. 
Seriously, besides all the useful information on breeds and a great directory of breeders, BreederRetriever.com also has some really great puppy pictures. It’s the interactive game, though, that keeps my kids and me coming back to the site. We’ve signed up for free accounts so that we can claim our games, too. The first one of us to get all 157 correct will have bragging rights and you know I intend to be that person. Even if I’m not, this is a great learning experience for the kids.
Check the site out and tell me what you think. And be sure to let me know your score, too. Have you outdone mine yet?

I’m a dog person too. I have a min. poodle and he is very much part of our family. I’ll check out the site. Thanks for the idea.
First time through, I got 130 right. The photos are ADORABLE!
Hope you like it! I think it’s a fun game and I hope they come up with others in the future.
It pays to watch the AKC dog show on Animal Planet.
But I still think the Saluki is one odd looking dog.
