Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm new to websites and promoting. Any suggestions.
Thanks,

Your home page is inviting, professional looking and informative. I would add another link to your menu called something like "For Breeders" or "Breeder Sign in", rather than burying that link at the bottom. I'd also put the "recommend this site" link under the menu, on the left, so that it's not interspersed with the ads.

Here are 2 small but important notes for the dog listing: You have a link titled "enter breed description". I thought that was a link that allowed the visitor to create (i.e. enter) some text about each breed. It would be less crowded, less confusing and more web-like if you simply made the name of each breed clickable instead of having that separate column. Also, in the last column, the user can't tell the difference between live links and plain text. I'd take the underlines off where there's no link.

Good luck and hope this helps.

very nice site... loads quickly and navigates easily... however, I have a few comments:

1. I feel that all your pages should look the same... by that I mean that your header of graphics should be on every page... and since you do not have a lot of text per page, there would be no problem with the header... it would also serve to make your site look consistent.

2. I, personally, do not like all your link ads on the bottom of your index page... if you must have these ads, make a separate page for them... your viewers will scroll because the scroll bar will indicate you have more on your page and only find ads... put them elsewhere and make your index page look a bit neater.

3. I would make "breeder post your puppies Here" a link on the side of the page (with the rest of the links)

4. I checked on the Skye Terrier and the photo is missing.

5. Personally, I do not like "recommend this site"... if I find a site that I think someone else would be interested in, I send that person the URL... I don't need to click to a link to send that site to anyone...

6. I clicked on the eye candy site... and it did not open in a new window.. never, never give your visitor the opportunity to completely leave your site... have all links open in a new window.... this way, the viewer cannot use "back" and will be forced to return to your site..

All in all, it's a clean, professional looking site.

hope this helps.. good luck!

This was your second request for a review today... within a period of a few hours...
there were replies to your previous post....rather than post another request for a review, you should have read the reviews that were already given on your website...
I will re-post mine....
