INTERESTING DOG FACTS

Q: What is the world’s biggest dog breed?

A: The Irish Wolfhound is considered the world’s tallest breed of dog. A male should be at least 32 inches tall and can be up to 34 inches, while a female should be at least 30 inches tall.  The Great Dane is also a very tall dog, ranging from 30 to 32 inches tall for the male, though some can be as much as 34 inches tall.

Q: What if you want the heaviest dog, not the tallest dog?

A: While the Irish Wolfhound and the Great Dane typically are a bit taller, the English Mastiff -- nicknamed the gentle giant -- and the Saint Bernard are generally considered the heaviest breeds. 

The Mastiff generally comes in at about 180 pounds for grown dogs, but some experts say that they can be as heavy as 220 pounds. In comparison, Saint Bernard males can be 184 pounds or even more.

The largest Irish Wolfhounds weigh in at about 120 pounds, while the Great Dane male is said by some experts to weigh from 120 to 200 pounds.

Mastiff males are about 30 inches in height compared to 32 inches for the Wolfhound.  The Saint Bernard male is expected to be at least 27.5 inches.

Q: What dog breed has the biggest ears?

A: In 2004, a Basset hound named Jack, from Fulda, Germany, holds the record for the longest ears, measuring 33.2 cm or just over a remarkable 13 inches.

Q: What dog breeds are least intelligent?

A: The same expert says the least intelligent on his list of 79 breeds are Borzoi, Chow Chow, Bulldog, Basenji and Afgan Hound, the Afgan being at the bottom of the list.

Q: What breeds are least popular?

The 10 breeds with the fewest individual registrations are;, German Pinscher, Plott, American Foxhound, Komondorok, Skye Terrier, Finnish Spitz, Ibizan Hound, English Foxhound, Harrier, and the Otterhound in the last spot, with just 17 dogs registered.

Q: What is the oldest breed of dog?

A: This is a complicated question, but there are helpful clues.  It appears that two semi-domestic dogs -- the Dingo of Australia and the New Guinea Singing Dog -- are considered the last existing representatives of early dogs developed in southern Asia. These dogs are thought to have traveled with their human companions all the way to Australia and New Guinea.

Another candidate is the Basenji, whose ancestor is also thought to have developed in southern Asia; it then moved with people into Africa, starting in Egypt. [See below for new confirmation from the latest dog genetic research].   The Canaan Dog of Israel traces to ancient pariah dog stock of the Middle East.

Now, new genetic research published in May 2004 has identified 14 ancient dog breeds, with the oldest being the Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Akita, Shiba Inu and Basenji.

PRUDENCE, THE PITBULLx
dogname: Prudence
breed: Pit Bull

I adopted a 4 month "lab-mix" from a local shelter that was rescued off the streets. I was told advised by my vet that this in fact was a pit bull. Having absolutely no idea about what a owning a pit bull meant, i was delighted to have this adorable pup in my life.

We went to a basic pup class at a community center and she was great. I thought that was all she needed. As she matured tho (2 -3 yrs old), some of her dominant characteristics and her prey drive came out. The problems began.

She was an escape artist - broke throught doors, even jumped through a plate glass window in pursuit of a couple of bunnies. She began to develop an edge about her - a look she would give to people and other dogs.

She was attacked by an off-leash golden retriever on a walk and in seconds she had the retriever, twice her size, down - fortunatly we stopped it before an injury. Several weeks later, she escaped, again, and after taking a few wacks with a stick from a neighbor, she bit the neighbor in the butt - fortunately, not breaking the skin.

Prudence spent 2 weeks in quarantine and was given her first strike. It was then I realized that i had a potentially serious dog on my hands and I needed to find a trainer who understood the breed and could help me turn her around. I called several trainers and they refused to work with Prudence or any pit-mix type dog. They told me to euthanize her. I was unwilling to give up on Prudence. I found Ami.

I enrolled in her basic obedience and then into the CGC course and before i knew it, Prudence was a totally different dog. She needed a job, she needed direction and she needed an owner who understood the characteristics of her breed.

Ami taught me about my responsibility in dog ownership, the necessity of taking time to teach my dog manners, boundaries, rewards for good behaviour, that I needed to make the commitment to her to work consistently with her and that i needed to respect the characteristics of her breed and work within that framework. Mission Acccomplished.

Thanks to Ami, Prudence graduated, received her CGC and went on to be a Therapy-Dog. visiting elderly people in assisted living and a nursing home. She is a wonderful dog and at 10 yrs old is retired now - she is wonderful with children and adults alike. She is a stay at home dog. She has raised a young male pit pup and is teaching him manners. My "DEAR PRUDENCE" has survived cancer twice and several leg operations (she still loves to chase squirrels in the yard).

We are most grateful to Ami for all her time and devotion to Prudence showing us how to work with her and enjoy all these years of happiness. And we brag about Ami all the time and tell folks, that we think Prudence is one of Ami's favorite success stories.

Thanks Ami!
Prudence and we are soo grateful!
T & G and Prudence, the Pitbullx and Spencer, the Pitbullx
