Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Of the dog breeds listed, which breed would be likely to physically mature the fastest?

Answer: Miniature poodle

In the dog world, dogs mature physically based on their size. A smaller dog will be physically mature in 8-10 months. A large breed, like a mastiff, can take over two years to be truly mature.

Answer: Dogs have toe nails not claws

Dog's nails are sometimes referred to as claws, especially when they need trimming. But cats have claws, usually known for the fact that they are retractable. Nails don't retract. Some dogs do have dewclaws but they are on the lower leg of the dog, not on their paws.

3. You've done your research. You decide to breed your dog to another prime example of your breed. How long before you can expect the new arrivals?

Answer: Between 58 to 65 days

The common gestation period, for most breeds, is around 62 days. Depending on the size and health of the female, it can be a bit longer or shorter. When you are waiting for puppies though, it seems like forever.

4. Of the dog breeds listed, which has the largest field of vision?

Answer: Greyhound

Sighthounds, such as the greyhound, can have a field of vision up to 270 degrees. Humans and most dog breeds only have a normal field of vision range of 180 degrees.

Answer: Black puppies

Kerry blue terriers are born black. Over the first two years of their life, their color changes gradually from black to blue.

6. Lying on the floor snuggling with your dog is a fun and common practice. Do you ever wonder why you find yourself feeling warm when you do?

Answer: A dog's normal temperature is a few degrees warmer than yours

The normal internal temperature for a human is 98.6 degrees. The normal internal temperature for your dog is 101-102 degrees.

Answer: Chinese crested dog

The Labrador and border collie are both commonly larger than 25 lbs. and they and the pug shed quite a bit. The Chinese crested is considered a "hairless" breed, although they do have hair on their heads and tails. They also come in a powderpuff variety which have a full coat.

8. A bit of common knowledge, dogs hear better than humans. But how much better?

Answer: It's better by 50 to 60 times

50 to 60 times better is the norm. Dogs with erect ears such as a German shepherd, can be up to 100 times better. Unfortunately, as dogs grow older, just like humans, their hearing can diminish.

9. What do the words mesocephalic and brachacephalic mean in relation to your dog?

Answer: Longer muzzle and pushed-in muzzle

Different dog breeds have different muzzle shapes. These are the two most common.

Answer: Wagging spreads their scent, generated from anal glands

A dog's anal scent is as individual as finger prints. Like urinating, it's another way dogs leave "messages" for each other that they've been there.
