My Dogs in My Dream: December 2010

Now let's get back talking 'bout my mixed chow chow. His (I've made him my own family) name is Bobby. Actually I've ever had his mother, lucky, an original chow chow, but she died when i was around six to ten and it was awful. But luckily she had already gave birth to lots of cute puppies. And so we adopted one and now, he's Bobby.
Here are some pictures of a chow chow ^ ^

! Recent DNA analysis confirms that the chow chow is one of the oldest breeds of dog. Research indicates it is one of the first primitive breeds to evolve from the wolf, and is thought to have originated in the arid steppes of northern China/Mongolia, wow, isn't?

! Here's something sad 'bout a chow chow, the black tongued chow was also bred for human consumption. How awful's that human...

! Some scholars claim the chow was the original ancestor of the samoyed, norwegian elkhound, pomeranian and keeshond (Hard names...).

! This is happy news: In the United States, the chow chow was a highly popular pet among the rich and famous during the Roaring Twenties. President Calvin Coolidge and his wife owned a black chow named Timmy. Chow chows were also popular in the 1930s and 1980s.

Pomeranian

This is another dog I saw on the TV. I really want them. They were like humans; needing extra care and grooming. They are really cute, small and fury. i loved them so much <3

Sorry, but I've no experience with this pomeranian. But there's some Pomeranian facts I could tell:

! The earliest Poms were white or occasionally black, Queen Victoria adopted a small red Pomeranian in 1888, which caused that color to become fashionable by the end of the 19th century, great choice, Queen Victoria.

Wanna know more 'bout this dog?

! Shelties have a high level of intelligence. According to Dr. Stanley Coren, an expert on animal intelligence, the Shetland sheepdog is one of the brightest dogs, ranking 6th out of 132 breeds tested. His research found that an average Sheltie could understand a new command in less than 5 repetitions and would obey a command the first time it was given 95% of the time or better. Brainiac dog!

This was good for my smart dog collection I guess...LOL

There's many I need to talk 'bout this species ('coz its my fav)

! This is it's name origin y' know? Inu is the Japanese word for dog, but the origin of the prefix "Shiba" is less clear. The word shiba means "brushwood" in Japanese, and refers to a type of tree or shrub whose leaves turn red in the fall. However, in an old Nagano dialect, the word shiba also had the meaning of "small", thus this might be a reference to the dog's small size. Therefore, the Shiba Inu is sometimes translated as "Little Brushwood Dog". Funny name.

What do you say? Funny?

Quite cute isn't? I want one for my transport, LOL! But well, impossible it is...So I'll just give you the facts:

! A wolf/Malamute appeared as a large fighting dog in the game "Dead To Rights Retribution"

! The Alaskan Malamute is a member of the Spitz group of dogs, traced back 2,000 to 3,000 years ago to the Mahlemuits tribe of Alaska, wow o_o

! The Alaskan Malamute serves in World War II primarily as search and rescue dogs in Greenland, although also used as freighting and packing dogs in Europe. This dog was never destined to be a racing sled dog; instead, it was used for heavy freighting, pulling hundreds (maybe thousands) of pounds of supplies to villages and camps in groups of at least 4 dogs for heavy loads. Strong huh?

Just that that I knew...
