Dog facts *game*

shih tzus *meaning lion dog* were bred to bark at lions to wake up mastiffs in africa :D.. Talk about all talk and no action ;).

Napolean was saved from drowning by a lab twice, and he still hated dogs. lol.

lmao!!.. thats soo funny!!... Poodles were bred to herd!!! weird.. humm.. lol

poodles can herd but they are water dogs they brought in the fishing nets and such that drifted off, that is why they have the weird cuts(not the puffs with bald one) they had shorter hair where their were no vital organs but the big puffs are all covering vital organs(the rosets covering kidneys etc..) it was to keep then cool and warm at the same, time, I know they CAN herd though, they are just about as verstitile as the border collie if not as versitile;) at least that is what I am told by several poodle breeders:confused:

Blue eyes in malamutes is exceptionally recent and resulted from inbreeding.

The klee kai is commenly mistaken to be a siberian husky, Pomeranian cross ;).

Catahoulas will often climb trees.

well.. Siberians noses are called "snow nose" when they have pinkish coloring in them :p.

Yes, any breed can get snow nose, it's just more prominent in some breeds than others. :)

Labradors, Golden retrievers, Bernese Mountain dogs and Siberian huskies are the most common breeds to develop snow nose, but many other breeds can as well. Also some dogs develop a "Dudley" nose, which basically is a permanent snow nose that does not fade with the seasons.

Bloodhounds can smell so good because the scent gets caught in the wrinkles on their face and on their long ears.

Pekignese (sp?) were bred as little guard dogs. They would hide in their owner's large sleeves and peeke out and bite at anybody trying to shake their owner's hand. China

Dogs have three eyelids.

bump :)
