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.
"If you want to get your dog in touch
with his "Inner Wolf" then teach him two things; to use his nose and to
retrieve."
Ami Moore the Dog Whisperer
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
