She was a white barn cat with ears that folded downward and forward on her head. Her face resembled an "owl" or an "otter's face". A shepherd by the name of William Ross first noticed Susie's unique ears at a neighbor's barn. Since William and his wife Mary were Cat Fanciers they were fascinated with Susie.

No. Although the wolf survives as an endangered species in a handful of states, from 7,500 to 10,000 wolves populate Alaska — from the most remote wilderness region to the suburbs of our largest cities. Because so much of this state is undeveloped, with more than 160 million acres permanently set aside in protected status (an area larger than California), the wolf is assured of a permanent home in Alaska.

Some want to breed to get their 'investment' back or to make some money. This is not wise considering the number of poor quality, casually bred members of the breed there are already.

I am having a lot of fun breeding my Malawi cichlids. I have at the moment a 4 foot and a 2 foot tank full of babies, but most of them are Blue Zebra babies, which the pet shops don't want. I have lots of electric blues and yellows, and some jacobfriebergs, which I don't think I'll have much problems trading them for food at the LFS, but I might have to shop around to pass off the Zebras.
