16 DOG FACTS

. Greyhounds can run up to
45 miles an hour for very short
periods.
2. Dogs have 42 teeth, cats about 30.
3. Dogs and humans are the only
animals with prostates.
4. The dalmatian dog originate from
Dalmatian coast of Croatia.
5. According to tests made at the
Institute for the Study of Animal
Problems in Washington, D.C., dogs
and cats, like people, are either
right-handed or left-handed i.e. they
favor either their right or left paws.
6. Domesticated cats are never
mentioned in the Bible. Dogs are
mentioned 14 times, lions 55 times.
7. The common belief that dogs are
color blind is false. Dogs can see
color but it is not as vivid a color
scheme as we see. It is much like our
vision at twilight.
8. There are 701 types of pure breed
dogs.
9. The flea can jump 350 times its body
length, that is like a human jumping
the length of a football
field.Anything over 45 minutes
seems like forever to your dog. You
will be greeted as enthusiastically
coming back from a two-hour
shopping trip as you will coming
back from a two-day vacation.
10. A stray dog who is afraid of people
will trust the people associated with
the dogs it plays with.
11. The old rule "multiplying a dog's age
by 7 to find the equivalent human
age" is fallacious. A dog is able to
reproduce at 1 year and has reached
full growth by 2 years. To calculate a
dog's age in human terms, count the
first year at 15, the second year as
10, and each year after that as 5.
12. If a dog tolerates gentle handling
between its toes, it probably is
suited for children.
13. If two dogs are headed for a fight
and they appear about evenly
matched, the dog on his home turf
will win easily.
14. If you want to be friends with
somebody else's dog, let the dog
make the first move, and don't be
too quick to respond.
15. A kennel should be two times the
length of the dog you are building it
for. Measure the dog from its nose to
the tip of its tail.
16. The best time for taking a puppy
from its litter -- psychologically and
physically - is when it is 49 days old.
