The former host of VH1's top 20 Video countdown is now a comedian! And she has the most adorable Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie)! His name is Dignan. In the picture below, you can see that Alison has cut his hair short. She's mentioned that on her blog, as well as the fact that he's not a "Teacup" Yorkie.



Yorkshire Terriers are plucky dogs who retain their courage and self esteem in spite of the fact that they can have a small size. The breeding standards don't mention ideal height for the Yorkie, and so they can be extremely small, or sort of medium sized like Alison's.

Yorkshire Terriers are also more intelligent than most other dogs. They have a fantastic ability to remember commands and understand what they person is saying. As such, they are excellent candidates for jobs where such skills are required.

The tails of Yorkies are traditionally docked. However, there have been growing movements to stop this practice. It depends on the state you live in as well as the preference of the individual owner.

We all know Denise Richards as the "Bond Girl" in "The World is not enough". She may not want to be remembered for that as she got the dubious award for the worst Bond Girl of all time!

Nonetheless, she has been consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful women in the world and she's chosen a French Bulldog to keep her company. His name is Hunk.



French Bulldogs are one of the best known apartment dogs. In fact, their flat nose, and body shape prevent them from effectively regulating their temperature outdoors. In spite of this, they are considered to be one of the healthiest Bull Breeds.

They are well known for their easy going ways and make ideal companions. Historically, though the breed has a French Prefix, they were mostly developed in the US and Britain. A common name for the breed is Frenchie!

Elizabeth Taylor was the last of the Actresses in the Golden Age of Hollywood. At one point of time, she was also considered to be the most beautiful woman on Earth. Indeed, her appearance in Cleopatra is legendary.



When her dog Sugar died in 2005, Taylor adopeted Daisy - a Maltese. They are an excellent breed for old people, as they are specially bred to be companions. The fact that it seems unaware of it's small size makes them great for socializing with other dogs and even (surprise surprise!) cats.

Unlike most dogs, they do not need much outdoor exercise and do very well in an apartment. They are therefore one of the most suitable breeds for apartment dwellers. They also lack an undercoat which reduces shedding to a minimum with proper care.

They are also known for their screaming pitch when alerting their owners to intruders. Legend has it that the Romans used them along with Rottweilers to alert the camp of the enemy presence at night.

Kelly Osbourne is well known for her role in "The Osbournes" which is about her father and his family. The series was a reality show documenting her life. She was show some time ago carrying a mixed breed dog called a "puggle", but since then carries around a Shiba Inu - a dog from Japan.

She has earned some criticism for her inability to keep her dogs properly and changing them regularly.



According to the Japanese, the Shiba Inu is very light on it's feet and extremely "artless". They are very clean dogs that resemble a cat in their movements of licking their paws. They will also try and keep their fur clean and therefore are an easy dog to housetrain requiring a minimal amount of supervision.

The Shiba Inu is also known for it's high pitched scream when it's happy or upset. It is one of the oldest dog breeds known to man.

Kylie Minogue is well known as a Pop Star and her unique style of stage entertainment. Most people also know that the Australian Star overcame a battle with breast cancer. It was during the treatment, that the star says she became very close to her ex boyfriend's Rhodesian Ridgeback - Sheba.



Rhodesian Ridgebacks are extremely loyal to their master and though they are not aggressive, they don't get friendly with strangers either. Most trainers know however that they don't respond well to rough treatement and discipline. Perhaps they have a soft side after all!

Interestingly, the dog which hails from southern Africa was used to keep lions occupied while they bought time for their master to arrive and kill it. For this reason, they are also called the African Lion Hound.

Due to the varied abilities of the amazing dog, there has been considerable controversy as to how to classify it, since it performs many functions of the hunting dog very well.

Liv Tyler has achieved lasting in her limited role as "Arwen" in the Lord of the Rings. According to lore, Elves (The race to which Arwen belonged) had a love for nature including animals. Tyler loves dogs, as evinced by her doting care on "Neal", her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.



Cavaliers are very friendly and lovable. But did you know that at one point of time the dog was given royal favor by King Charles II? Apparently Charles I had a King Charles Spaniel in the household and it was a favorite of his children. Hence the name.

It was decreed that they were never to be disallowed entrance to any public house on the grounds that they were pets and animals! A magnificent honor, and one that isn't shared by any other breed in the world.

Minnie Driver is best known for her Academy Award nomination in the film "Good Will Hunting". Having recently given birth to her son in September, it's nice to know that they young boy will have black Labrador Retriever to take care of him!


Going by registrations alone, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog in the western world, in Europe and USA. In fact, they beat the next most popular breeds like German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers by a huge margin (almost 3-5 times).

The Labrador epitomizes the happy life and is most interested in eating and lots of fun! They are absolutely superb with young children, and is a great dog for a young child to start off life with! The saying goes that they can hold an egg in their jaws without breaking it. Such is the gentleness of this breed.

They are perfect for home and enjoy large families with lots of noise and enjoyment! A labrador brings a sparkle to any home :)

The "The O.C" start Rachel Bilson is well known for her role as "Summer Roberts". Well known among the Teenage Populice, she won the award from "Choice Hottie".

Her fiancee Adam Brody who was also her co-star gave her a PitBull for her birthday. The two of them grew so attached to it, that they now share custody over "Penny" even though they are no longer together.




Contrary to popular perception, Pit Bills feel pain just like any other dog. Breeders have tried to make the dog ignore pain or discomfort in order to get the job done, and this is the reason why some people think they feel no pain.

They don't "Lock their Jaws" either.

Phobe Price, who launched her new fragrance "Phoebe's Phantasy" recently, has her very own Yorkshire Terrier called Henry.



Phoebe was in the news recently for Suing Chanel for not letting her into an elite party! Nevertheless, her Yorkshire Terrier looks really handsome. And his name is Henry.

Though Yorkshire Terriers are looked on as toy dogs, they are remarkably self confident and intelligent. In fact, they will occasionally challenge dogs much larger than they are. However, they never assert themselves in a mean way among other dogs, and are therefore often chosen for inclusion into families with existing dogs.

They also don't need to be pampered all the time and will be content to walk instead of being carried. A leftover trait from their lives as terriers perhaps?
