Just like humans.
@Rosi: Thank you for your comment.
There are as you show amazing animals all over the world and I wish you could tell us more.
Truthfully, there is nothing new under the sun. The ancestry of all dog types, does, if you follow it back, lead to an incredibly small amount of types within types. It is a fascinating exercise, and really shows how under the skin, there is so little difference. Rosi Caswell Animal Whisperer Therapist
Good article, to bad it's only in slideshow form. Takes to long to load each page that it becomes boring. Why can't Care2 make these articles available in single page?
I wish some of the people commenting would realise that there's a big difference between breeders of show dogs and those who operate mass-production "puppy farms". The breeders I know have purchasers lined up for their puppies long before the litter is whelped; and many of the buyers will have their pups neutered as soon as they're old enough. Some people do want to have some confidence about the characteristics of their dogs, including hip & eye testing, so they choose purebred pups from reputable breeders. And I speak from experience: I had a purebred CCC-registered Rotti, and when she died, I bought a "mongrel" from the local AWL shelter; both have been excellent dogs in their own way.
Thanks for the information.
Know all of these breeds; great to see them becoming better known, for they all carry some great qualities unique to their breed. Rosi Caswell Animal Whisperer Therapist
All the snobbery doesn't impress me. Too bad they dropped Pedegree as as sponser for caring about animals.
interesting article, thanks for sharing, some of these breeds i've never heard of before :)
