Some are small and stubborn while others are large and laid back. All are stars of the doggie world in their own right. Get to know some of the breeds featured in Dogs 101! Australian Cattle DogAKC Ranking: 73 Family: livestock, herding Area of Origin: Australia Date of Origin: 1800s Original Function: cattle herding Today's Function: cattle herding, herding trials Average Size of Male: Height: 18 to 20 inches; Weight: 35 to 45 pounds Average Size of Female: Height: 17 to 19 inches; Weight: 35 to 45 pounds Other Name: Queensland heeler, blue heeler, Hall's heeler TemperamentSmart, hardy, independent, stubborn, tenacious, energetic and untiring — these are all traits essential to a driver of headstrong cattle, and all traits of the Australian cattle dog. This dog must have a job to do or it will expend its efforts on unacceptable jobs of its own. Given challenging mental and hard physical exercise daily, it is among the most responsive and obedient of dogs, an exemplary partner in adventure. It tends to nip at the heels of running children. UpkeepThe Australian cattle dog was bred to be active and tireless. This dog needs a lot of physical and mental activity, more than a simple walk on a leash can provide. A good jog or long workout, coupled with obedience lessons or other intellectual challenges, is essential every day. It is happiest when it has a job to perform, and especially when that job is herding. The Australian cattle dog can live outdoors in temperate to cool climates. It is unsuited for apartment life. Its coat needs brushing or combing weekly to remove dead hairs. HealthMajor concerns: CHD, OCD, deafness, PRA Minor concerns: none Occasionally seen: cataract, lens luxation, PPM, vWD Suggested tests: hip, hearing, eye Life span: 10 to 13 years Form and FunctionThe Australian cattle dog is of moderate build, enabling it to combine great endurance with bursts of speed and the extreme agility necessary in controlling unruly cattle. It is sturdy and compact, slightly longer than it is tall. Its gait is supple and tireless, and it must be capable of quick and sudden movement. Its ability to stop quickly is aided by the rudderlike action of its tail (which is never docked). Its weather-resistant coat consists of a short, dense undercoat and moderately short, straight outer coat of medium texture. For more on the Australian Cattle Dog, check out our Dog Breed

general, worldwide, i.e. anywhere on Earth[2] or pertaining to anywhere on earth. In a philosophical context it may refer to: the whole of the physical Universe, or an ontological world (see world disclosure). In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts. World history is commonly understood as spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present.

Walking in the Footsteps of Sir Christopher Wren: The architect who rebuilt so much of London after the Great Fire of 1666 is best known for his churches. Walk from St. Bride's, on Fleet Street, past his icon, St. Paul's Cathedral, to St. Mary-le-Bow and beyond to appreciate his genius.

Liberty of London, 210-220 Regent St., W1 (tel. 020/7734-1234), was founded in 1875 and moved to its current half-timbered, mock-Tudor home in 1924.

It's the West End's best shopping spot, but you'll need to pack the credit card.

Comfort has never gone out of style here, so start saving right away.

Among downhill aficionados the word "flat" often finds its way into descriptions of Norway's skiing potential, yet as I sat on our sunny terrace surrounded by precipitous pinnacles I put such comments down to malicious propaganda. Hemsedal doesn't boast the challenges of the Alps – of the 45 runs the majority are green and blue, but there are enough reds and blacks to keep my fanatical husband and children happy.
My favourite was a long, leisurely blue, winding its way from the top of the mountain, that took a good 30 minutes to ski and was virtually empty until the lower slopes. The only company on the descent was the whistle of the wind, the swish of my skis and the endless anecdotes of my seven-year-old son, who has an unparalleled ability to gabble and ski simultaneously.
Despite my Nordic genes I'll never be a champion skier. I'm brimful of fear, with not a gung-ho vein in my body, but my family are a different matter. I realised a couple of years ago during our debut ski trip that I was set to be a ski widow. Molly and Dan, five and six at the time, couldn't wait to hurtle down the slopes at terrifying speed. Such was their aptitude that my husband took them down their first black run on that trip. Luckily I only found out about it afterwards. My own earliest ski memory dates back to my kindergarten sports day just outside Oslo. I was five years old and lost courage halfway down the snow steps carved into the slope for our "fun run". I sat down and wept, and the snickering of my classmates still echoes down the decades.
