Nice work! I found it earlier this week from https://twitter.com/metafizzyco

Awesome use of jQuery Isotope.

It seems pretty cool, but one pretty major thing: What is the selection to the right of "Protection"? My primary browsing computer is an EeePC right now, with a resolution of 1024x600. Your site clearly expects a wider resolution than this, but does not provide a horizontal scrollbar for me. Don't forget us netbooks!

Having a link to wikipedia for each dog listed would a couple of clicks. The UI was really intuitive, great job on that and the design/JS.

Crap! I made this site pretty quickly, so there's not a ton of thoughtfulness. I'll go back and try to make it work for netbooks, etc.

To give you an idea of how much I didn't care to please a lot of the audience, it doesn't work period in IE. I should probably fix that, though.

Good tip.

Fun to play with, but I've got to disagree with an Alaskan Malamute as "Decent" protection alongside a Collie or Dalmatian. My 52kg male is frankly terrifying and would tear chunks off an intruder!

Also, Siberian Husky is marked as "Badass" protection. Are you sure you don't have these the wrong way round? :)
