Working Dogs and K9Gear.Net Bringing You More
Fred Forrest - May 2, 2000

Being in the unique position of having 2 excellent web sites, Working Dogs and K9Gear.Net we are going to strive to share the best features of both sites between the two. What this means to all of the loyal Working Dogs visitors is that we will be linking to some of the features available on the K9Gear.Net site. You won't lose anything that is already here, but gain much more. The K9Gear.Net site is also known as DogGear.Net and either address takes you to the same place.

The first of a series of upgrades to the Working Dogs site has been accomplished. We have moved the site from its former ISP to one which provides us with better bandwidth so that we may serve more people concurrently while maintaining good browser performance. Also we have increased our file storage capacity by 10 fold so that we have the space necessary for the features we are going to add. We are also going through the entire site and fixing broken links etc. If you discover a broken link, please drop me a note and let me know, also if you know a replacement link for a broken one that would be helpful.

• Message Forums - Online interactive forums featuring many different working dog topics.
• Online Weather - International, National, State and Local Weather you can customize.
• Event Calendar - With many categories which you may add your club and organization events to.
• Veterinary Locator Database - A National Vet locator which you may add your favorite vets to.
• Search Engine - One place to go and search the web with over 40 different search engines.
• The DogGear Store - Serious Handcrafted Equipment for working dogs. Sleeves, Blinds, Leather Goods, and much more.

Some of the features we plan for the near future for Working Dogs are:

• Topic Specific Chat Rooms
• Topic Specific Email lists (listservers)

• Improved Accessability for users with text reader browsers (Bobby Approved)
• Much More.

Take care,

Fred
