- Dobermans are the result of a combination of a dozen different breeds -- they were bred to be alert, obedient, and aggressive.
- Adopting a puppy from a shelter is much less expensive than buying a pure-bred dog. It also saves lives: millions of dogs are euthanized each year when homes cannot be found for them.
- Most dogs have been bred by humans to perform specific tasks. Terriers, for example, are determined diggers, bred to root out small animals from underground burrows.
- Puppies sleep ninety percent of the time, and shiver in their sleep as their nervous systems develop.
- Calm, quiet dogs, bichon frisees were bred to sit on the laps of medieval courtiers, who believed lice and fleas would jump from them to the bichon's warm, hairy body.
- Beagles use their voices to communicate over large distances -- something prospective dog owners should keep in mind if they are looking for a quiet dog.
- Puppies huddle together for warmth as they feed from their mother. Born blind and deaf, they instinctively find their mother's teat.
- Training is easiest when a dog is young. At six weeks, dogs are very open to new experiences.
- While it is hard to resist an adorable face, a puppy should never be chosen on the basis of looks alone. Numerous factors should be considered when buying or adopting a puppy, including temperament, personality, and the dog's size as an adult.
- Golden retrievers are a good choice for guide dogs -- they are a large, good-natured, adaptable breed.
- Veterinary care is extremely important when adopting a puppy. In addition to shots, spaying and neutering is key to keeping the unwanted pet population down.
- Like their ancestor, the wolf, dogs are intensely social pack animals. If fact, most dog behaviors can be understood by studying the behavior of wolves.
