OF DOGS
OF DOGS
Through selective breeding, dogs with desired traits were bred and dogs with unwanted traits were not. During this time, people developed the idea that being pure somehow made dogs superior in appearance and worth. Today, purebred does not mean high quality in health, temperament, or intelligenceit simply means that the dog has known parentage whose ancestors were derived over generations from a recognized breed. CROSSBREEDS / HYBRIDS / DESIGNER Designer dogs are intentionally created for desirable traits by crossing two purebred dogs to create a first-generation hybrid. Breeders who design dogs believe their traits can be enhanced by the combination. Some examples of these crossbred combinations are the Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle), the Puggle (Pug/Beagle), and the Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever/Poodle).
MIXED BREEDS / MUTTS Mixed breeds, mongrels, or mutts are dogs that are not a result of breeding and belong to no breed. In the United States, mixed breed is the favored term among many who want to avoid the negative connotations associated with mongrel and mutt . Hybrid vigor is a theory that suggests dogs of varied ancestry are healthier than their purebred counterparts. Some trainers believe mutts exhibit higher intelligence.
They can gallop up to 40 mph and leap seven feet from a standing position. In 1931, Zeppo Marx (of the Marx Brothers) and his wife brought two Afghan Hounds, Asra of Ghanzi and Westmill Omar, to the United States for breeding. Right now I have an Afghan Hound named Kabul. He is elegant, with graceful proportions, and I love the way he moves.... Often, if he comes into my mind when I am working, it alters what I do. The nose on the face I am drawing gets longer and sharper.
The hair of the woman I am sketching gets longer and fluffy, resting against her cheeks like his ears rest against his head. PABLO PICASSO
Daily walks and romps required. An Airedale can do anything any other dog can do
and then lick the other dog if he has to. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Distinguished. Devoted. Calm. Not lazy.
Although, rarely taller than fourteen inches, they are considered big dogs, but on short legs. They have loose skin on their facesmaking them look sad. Their long, low ears drag on the ground, stirring up scents, while their folds and wrinkles further capture the scented air. Their distinct bark is loud and lingering, and they frequently howl at the moon when thunderstorms loom. Basset Hounds come in classic tricolor patterns of black, tan, and white.
It is believed that William the Conqueror, born 1028 AD, brought Bloodhounds to Britain from Belgium, where the breed originated. Known as detectives of the dog world, Bloodhounds were used to track thieves and poachers for Englands law enforcement. Today, the U.S. courts of law allow evidence recovered with the help of Bloodhounds. Humans use 12 million olfactory receptor cells to smell. Most dogs use 1 billion.
Bloodhounds use 4 billion!
They have distinct sounds a barking growl and a baying howl. It is believed their name comes from the Old French word beegueule , literally meaning open-mouthed. Happiness is a warm puppy. CHARLES M. SCHULZ Charles M. Schulz created the most famous fictional Beagle in pop culture.
