An interesting fact: All dogs regardless of size, shape color, etc when stripped down to their skeleton are identical to wolves. There are a few differences between the two but both can mate with each other and their offspring can reproduce with no problems. Some of the differences include mating times, tail curling, litter numbers... but for the most part the two different species are so identical that the scientific community debate is whether or not to classify both species as one. The current argument is that dogs are really domesticated wolves.
If I want to make my 10 pound dog's day all I do is rub on him and call him a big bad wolf. He loves it!

Scottish Deerhound won. Shocked a lot of people, but that's dog shows. I love them. I was floored by all the new breeds since we used to show Great Danes back in the early 60's - I think it was.

I watched it. I used to show Black Cocker Spanials, so was pleased one made it so far. OF course, I was rutting for it. My dog is very well behaved. The minute he is outside he is gone!! Then I get to do my walk to find him before he gets picked up. He doesn't get loose to often! LOL

I used to have a Westie who loved to watch animals on TV. Didn't matter if it was a bug or an elephant. She would watch intently for long periods of time, softly wimpering. She really loved those dog shows. She passed at age 14. I really miss her. The 2 furbabies I have now are sweet, lovable dogs, but neither have any interest in TV.
