5. Beagle
You may remember the Beagle breed from the film Shiloh, or you may recognize the most famous Beagle ever, Snoopy, the dog from the Peanuts comic strip. If you take one look at a Beagle, it’s easy to see the appeal. They have adorable, puppy-dog eyes, floppy ears, and soft features. And they have a very friendly personality to match. But most of all, they have powerful noses. They’re scent hounds, which means they were bred to rely mostly on their sense of smell to hunt. They are still used for this purpose today.
In fact, all of these traits make them the perfect choice for working in airports around the world. They’re friendly and cute, so they don’t intimidate people, and they have great sniffers, which helps them detect contraband, even in a crowded airport. This began in 1984 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture started using Beagles to detect illegal food products being brought into Los Angeles International Airport. The Beagle was so successful that the “Beagle Brigade” still patrols 20 international airports and points of entry into the U.S. today!
4. Poodle
The Poodle held the title of most popular breed in the United States for almost 20 years. While they may seem prim and proper to those who have only seen the fancy-hairdo-wearing pups from dog shows, those

And if you’ve ever met a Labrador Retriever, it’s easy to see why. They’re incredibly friendly and loyal, great for families, and perfect companion dogs. In fact, they’ve been made famous by art, books, and movies. But a good-natured personality isn’t the Labrador Retriever’s only strength. They were bred to be working dogs. It won’t take you long to notice that Labrador Retrievers love the water. That’s because they originated in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, where they accompanied fisherman and helped with work on the ship. The loyal Labrador would haul in nets, fetch ropes, and catch fish that got off the
Labrador retrievers are one of the most popular pets in the United States, but not always for the right reasons. Many times people will get a lab hoping it will fulfill their dreams without even considering the pros and cons. Labs are typically very loveable, and energetic, but they can also be very detrimental.
It can be argued that along with cats, dogs were one of the first animals to become domesticated. For approximately 10,000 years humans and dogs have more than co-existed, they have developed a special bond unlike any other animal has developed with us. Today hundreds, if not thousands of breeds of dog exist. Although this fact remains true, all dogs belong to the Canis Familiaris family within the animal kingdom. Despite any tamed, domesticated, or docile tendencies, all breeds of dogs have traits that are derived from their wild ancestors and to this day many of those traits still exist and in fact, are quite important to the dog’s survival and mating techniques. Some of the more prominent survival tactics include digging, burying, being
There was once a time they worked harder than us humans do. Back then only wealthy people owned dogs for labor purposes. For example, they chased foxes away from chicken coops and frightened rats away from restaurants. They hunted animals and pulled heavy items over snowy hills. They helped save many people's lives when fires occurred because they alerted the people. In effect, they were not considered as pets because they had a bad odor and were way too filthy to be indoors. They did not receive care so if they were ill or injured, they would either have to heal themselves or even die. In the late 1800's, things were looking better for the dogs' future. The country was becoming wealthier, so people could now afford to feed and take the care of a pet. Now, we see dogs not only as pets, but as family
Upon doing a little research about dogs and how they are used within the law legally can be controversial, but dogs using their noses is actually a very key tool.
Legend has it that Labrador has actually been around for numerous years and commenced their life as assistance dogs to the fishermen in Newfoundland. During the 1800's these dogs were relied on by the fishermen to help them retrieve the nets and also the fish. Labrador Retrievers have a distinct advantage over most other dog breeds
The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions
The 16 dogs in this unit are used for different purposes. They have Patrol dogs and sniffer dogs. These dogs are trained because of their superior sense of smell, and ability to search and find in impossible places. K9 Unit uses their sniffer dogs in arson, tracking, detecting of explosives and narcotics. Each dog is bred and used for their unique specialities, for example, they use a Labrador to sniff for explosives because they have a very good sense of smell. It is important that the
Dogs are known as man’s best friend. Despite lacking the ability to talk, we understand them well. Buddyfruit, also known as “B-Fruit”, is a five-year-old male Pointer with a heart of gold. His family, the Whitfield family, brought him into their home almost three years ago. Cooper is a three-year-old male Golden Retriever with sad eyes and a joyful soul. His family, the Ruiz family, welcomed him into their family roughly a year and a half ago. From physical features, to aspects of personality, to history and background, every individual dog shares similarities and differences.
They have been trained to search for people, bombs, and even drugs. The dogs go through extensive training about once a week and know what to look for with their noses...”A K9 officer and his or her dog, should undergo lessons in maintaining the police dog normative once a week. A K9 handler and a police dog improve their work per Shutzhund dog training, tracking training, bomb detection, and K9 tactics. We simulate different situations that may pop up during serious police work, using automobiles, a garage, sport , elementary schools, shopping centers, etc ("Master Dog Training." Master Dog Training. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Mar. 2017.) They start undergoing this process when they are puppies, so they can “search” for these things
Brown states that she noticed an increase in demand after the show “Frasier” revealed them as intelligent and adorable little devils (Nieves par. 4). Other than just being famous for their use in television, Jack Russell’s are also among one of the smartest breeds of dogs. Their intelligence is what gives them their quirky, yet almost human like personality. For anybody who has had experience with Jack Russell’s, you’ll know that their high energy and strong will can tend to be quite the handful for some, and shed them in a bad light.
The Newfoundland is categorized as a large breed of dog in the AKC Working Group. “Newfs” can range between 22 to 28 inches tall from the shoulder and normally weigh 100 to 150 pounds. Their coat coloring can be either solid or landseer and come in Grays, Browns, or Black, or a White base coat with Black markings. The history of the breed is thought to originate from a Canadian island for which the Newfoundland is named. Used as a workhorse and fishing aid, the Newfoundland’s job was to pull angler nets to shore, haul wood from the forests, and power blacksmith’s bellows (American Kennel Club). The temperament of the dog is best described by its nickname, “The Gentle Giant” patience, intelligence, and docile manners, make him an ideal family dog. Newfoundland’s require daily exercise and should be brushed regularly to maintain their beautiful coat.
Cute, fun, loving, cuddly, outgoing; these are only a few words to describe the animals that we have come to know and love as a part of our families. Dogs have been man’s best friend for hundreds of years and were the first animal to be domesticated because they are great as companions, highly intelligent, and were found to be very useful in human’s everyday lives. Even though they made excellent house pets they were highly successful at working side by side humans as well. They are not limited to being just best friends, but they have been found to be protectors and saviors as well, to their owners, others people and even other dogs too. One type of working dogs in
The German Shepherd is not only one of the world's most popular companion dogs, but also probably the most widely used breed for service work. The development of the German Shepherd Dog, along with a number of existing breeds, helped pioneer the modern use of dogs for service and community work that we can see today. For a breed of dog that has only been officially recognised for just over 100 years, it has made an outstanding contribution to mankind worldwide.
As the beagle sense of smell catches the deer, it springs into action watching the deer get hit with the owner's bow. If you get a beagle you will know how great these dogs really are. They will melt your heart, and they will find a way into your life. Let’s talk about the beagles history, care, and up next characteristics.
I agree that I am a golden retriever because the qualities of a golden retriever match my personality the best. I don’t think any other animals best match me. I don’t think any other animal match me because I don’t have the qualities of the other animal such as lions, otters, or beavers. I believe I possess qualities such as witty, caring, and loving so I am a golden retriever. I am not a conflict maker, but I will make conflict if I am forced to, I am not scared of conflict but try to avoid it. But will face it if need being. I am a quiet person unless we are on a topic I care about, then I will voice my opinion and much more. Generally, don’t talk over people when they are speaking unless talking to a friend. Also, Mrs. Fette told me to add
