[kba]

Day 14 of self isolation : I am now learning about every dog breed

[erikeliut]

All dogs are in a higher group called "good bois".

[IgorConcepts]

Her: "Shiba Inus have a quite demeanor"
My Shiba: Screams whenever a rubber band falls of my desk.

[_junweiw]

"oh you like dogs? name every breed"
this woman:

[scottbecker]

"GSD are very courageous."
*Looks at my GSD who jumped because of a leaf that went by*
Huh.

[evashougouki]

9:10 “they have a very unique gait” cool way of saying theyve been bred to have a screwy gait and hip dysplasia

[BiggensIrons]

This was a good video but AKC NEEDS to address health issues within breeding, for example overexaggerated wrinkles or overly smushed noses/faces. Also the sloping back in GSDs, compare the backs on the working German Shepherds to the show German Shepherds, they look like bananas!! Please update the breed standard for these poor dogs who are being valued for deformed aesthetics rather than their health!

[Dossenbach]

Video: "The Bergamasco"
Subtitles: "the Burger Moscow"

[managersejinstan]

11:36 "They're rather aloof, as a lot of hounds are"
I can suddenly hear Kermit crying in the distance as he vibrates out of this dimension with anxiety

[maxwellwilliams]

"quiet in demeanor" maybe sometimes, but everyone who owns shibas will tell you they won't hesitate to yell their little lungs out

[iversamuelsen]

The norwegian Elkhound is called Elkhound because a Moose in norwegian is Elg witch many people has confused with another moose, deer like creature called Elk.

[NightshadeGoddess]

People breeding these dog breed back them where a lot more considerate towards the dog. They actually took into account the fur and how it would affect the dog in certain temperatures or terrain. Now you see double-coated dogs like the Siberian Huskys in Greece or Spain and short-haired dogs like Chihuahuas in Canada or Russia.

[jedi]

1:56 And he waddled away waddle waddle waddle.

[mobilestew]

I guarantee that nobody searched for this video

[TheWolfCrea]

This video is really interesting, I just wished it wasn't framed in the context of dog shows...

[mrxxbrian]

And no matter what breed, they will love you unconditionally.

[heddaludvigsen]

In Norwegian, the Norwegian Elkhound is actually called "norsk elghund", which means Norwegian Moosehound.

[Davefacestation]

The kennel club have a horrific history of damaging dogs health through selective breeding. Some breeds may never recover.

[infiniteimal]

Really the only memorable thing about the dalmatian and xolo is that they appear in a Disney movie? As a xolo owner myself I can so many wonderful things about their personality and their obvious characteristics like the body shape and the lack of hair. They are really good with their owner but very defensive and cautious of other people. They love to cuddle and to take sun bathes. They are also stunning runners, they way they do kind of resembles how whippets run. An absolutely gorgeous breed with a lot of history and culture behind it

[-mirsken-]

I think it’s really weird that a dog expert would call it cute that certain breeds struggle to breathe
