*~Fun facts about dogs~*

So I recently came across a program on Animal Planet called Dogs 101. Being a dog lover, I was pretty interested in what they had to share about various dogs. I found it so interesting and educational, so here are some facts about different breeds of dogs...
Did you know, the French Bull Dog:
- Is a mixture between an English Bull Dog and the Pug.
- Are not athletic (they are really short).
- Are heavy snorers - Their mushed in faces (nose) makes it hard for them to breath properly (which explains why they are not too athletic either).
- Cannot naturally reproduce - They are top heavy so it is impossible so are therefore artificially inseminated.
- England is the only country who sees them as a specific breed.
- Are great companions.
- Do well in small spaces, are good family dogs and if you scratch its belly, it will love you forever :)











The Airdale Terrier:
- Is the largest terrier of its breed.

- Are highly intelligent - they served in the military and the White House.

- Can be clownish, but are great guard dogs.

- In WW1 were used as messenger dogs.

- Were bread to chase ground animals.

- In the 1920s were the most popular dogs in the USA.

- John Wayne received his name, The Duke, from the Airdale Terrier.

- Extremely high intelligence, energy and learn tasks very easily and need lots of exercise.

The Chihuahua:
- Is the oldest breed in the USA.
- Love to be pampered.
- Smallest breed in the world.
- Love to be the centre of attention with relentless snuggling.
- Native to Mexico.
- It can have an apple or deer shaped head.
- It has the largest brain in relation to its size of all dogs.
- 1 person dog who are protective over owner.
- Are good service dogs.
- Healthiest breed around.
- Live for 15-20 years.
- Are sensitive to hot/ cold climates.
- Are great dogs to own, but not good family dogs (Don't get along with small kids).

So those are just a few facts which I learnt about these breeds... I would really love to own a Chihuahua one day. They need lots of love and attention and are just the most adorable dogs around :)
