Guess this breed part 2

[binka_nugget]

This is basically the same as the original guess this breed except this time, you don't post a pic. Only post info... I'll start off with something fairly easy...

This breed is very intelligent and can often be found doing agility, obedience and flyball. There's the short and long hair variety. The most well known coloring is black and white although it can be found in a few other colors/markings. This breed was originally bred for working ability and intelligence rather than beauty which is why there are many different "styles" found.

[wolfsoul]

Border collie? lol

[binka_nugget]

lol yep..easy enough eh? you're turn

[wolfsoul]

Okay, this breed was once called a terrier, but it's stat changed to another group. They are very stubborn dogs and require firm training. They are very tough, and though small, think of themselves as big dogs. They have large grooming requirements.

This breed was originally used to hunt lions. :) They were found to be the only breed of dog that could, in a pack, keep a lion at bay for the hunter...and live. This breed is an extremely clean dog with little odor and minimal shedding. Its short, dense coat sheds very little. These dogs are notorious "counter surfers" once they discover unattended food.

Correct!

[wolfsoul]

This breed is one of the most versatile breeds in the world. It is mainly used for herding and hunting. This breed was never concentrated on in the looks department, and so it comes in many different types. It's name means "clear water."

[Layka3000]

Can you give us a clue? That is a very tough description!

This breed stands at about 28 inches. They're generally known to be stubborn and independant. They have a long coat and all colors are permissible. This breed is generally healthy although hip dysplasia, juvenile cataracts, hypothyroidism and enzyme deficiencies can be found in the breed.

[wolfsoul]

Afghan hound?

[binka_nugget]

yep!

[wolfsoul]

This breed was once used to guard carts and horses, even going as far as to run under and beside them as they moved. Even today, this breed makes a great guard/watch dog, and is still as energetic as it had to be in the day it ran with the horse carraiges.

This breed is a wonderful runner. It is up to almost 28 inches at the withers, and the average weight is 88 pounds. It was very popular some 2000 years ago, but almost went extinct in the 1970's. It's long outercoat and dense undercoat need lots of grooming. This breed needs lots of firm training. It has a special knack for catching fish.

OKAY.

Guess this breed.

The breed i am thinking of is a powerful, impressive dog with a massive and heavily-coated head with a beard and mustache. The thick beard and shaggy eyebrows give the dog a very distinctive appearance. this is an obedient dog with a pleasant nature. He looks intimidating, but is actually calm and gentle. Enthusiastic, responsible, even tempered and fearless. An excellent guard and watchdog that is easy to train.this breed of dog originally a cattle herding dog, was extensively used as a rescue dog and message-carrier during World War I. As a result of his exposure during the warfare and the nearly total destruction of this breed. http://www.briarleabouvier.com/briarleabouvier/Abbeyagilitya.jpg

This breed has a muscluature almost out of proportion to it's size. It is a mastiff-type dog. White often predominates the coat in the pied variety. Also comes in fawn and brindle. Powerful, with large head. Cesarean sections are not uncommon when breeding.
