Sir Rex Allot -- The World's Best Dog!
Arf, I'm Sir Rex Allot....
My best friend (Matthew Bailey) who is also The Expert Webmaster, designed me my own web site so I could show all of my friends and others that want to know more about me, who I am. I am a Miniature Pincher. I look like a Doberman Pincher, but am a MINI Doberman Pincher.
My Best Friend!

Matthew Bailey: I hope everyone knows that Sir Rex Allot is the best dog in the whole wide world. That's right, he is. Rex is a very loyal dog. Very smart. Sits, stays, pretty much everything you ask of him, unless food is involved sometimes. Makes a great little alarmist, where he always tells me when someone is walking up or if there is a rabbit in the field. Been my best friend through thick and thin. Lot's of great things to say about him. I do not have enough web space that would allow me to explain all of the reasons why, it's just true. I'm serious, wars would have been fought over this dog in ancient times. :) For an additional feature to my little buddies web site, I have inserted the Animal/Wildlife section of the news from News Spoiler on this page. ENJOY! |
