Dog Facts
Here are some interesting and potentially helpful facts about dogs. You can read more here.
-A stray dog who is afraid of people will trust the people associated with the dogs it plays with.
-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.
-If a dog tolerates gentle handling between its toes, it probably is suited for children.
-If two dogs are headed for a fight and they appear about evenly matched, the dog on his home turf will win easily.
-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.
-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.
-The best time for taking a puppy from its litter — psychologically and physically — is when it is 49 days old.
