How do I recieve targeted RSS content using defined keywords?

I am a newbie with RSS. Its pretty straight forward on signing up for various RSS feeds- but my question is different. I want to use a keyword to decide when relevant content should show up in my RSS box. For example, if i am interested in "German Shephard", I would want any RSS feed to populate in my RSS box. How do I do that? Is RSS the best way?





After looking at both Yahoo and Google, there does not appear to be a way to set a keyword as the driver to populate content in my RSS box vs defining a specific RSS feed. thoughts?

Try searching for an "RSS Directory" in the search engine.
