Web sites for the die-hard dog lover or potential pooch owner are as numerous as canine breeds. Picks of the litter include:

PUPPY FINDER
http://www.puppyfinder.com
The appeal here is obvious enough: Answer 10 lifestyle questions to find a suitable addition to your family. Puppy Finder is loaded with information to contemplate before and after becoming a dog owner: breed descriptions, methods for evaluating breeders and their puppies, and tips on health issues, training and nutrition.

2,000 DOG NAMES
http://www.petrix.com/dognames
"The name you choose for your dog says as much about you as it does about your dog," the site says. Not to worry – choices abound here for such a ponderous task.

THE BAD DOG CHRONICLES
http://www.baddogs.com
If the training tips you picked up at Puppy Finder or other sites fail, seek solace at Bad Dog, a forum for pictures of and stories about acts committed by "puppies only a mother could love." Of particular interest: Kody, the Labrador retriever who did $50,000 in damage to his owner's home.

HAPPY PAWS PUBLISHING
http://www.happypaws.com
Happy Paws sells astrological readings for the owner who seeks a higher level of awareness about his pet's psyche. Or order a special letter to wish Fido happy birthday, best wishes for a speedy recovery, or congratulations on obedience school graduation or new motherhood.

DOG-PLAY
http://www.dog-play.com
Dog-Play is an informal clearinghouse of information and links on dog sports: agility and flyball; animal-assisted therapy programs in which dogs and masters provide therapeutic benefits to patients at health-care facilities; games suitable for indoor play on rainy days; dog "camps" and so much more.
