I did not know that distinction, atleast not that there was a name for it. I would ve seperate it by biting just leaving a bruise (or nothing) or leaving a wound.
nipped is a word that I háve heard often. But I am not a 100% sure where the borders of the definition are ( and as with many words, some people might use it more losely than others)
Yep. I try to warn anyone I can about Dalmatians. Had one when I was a kid. Sweetest, most loved dog ever. Started showing COMPLETELY unprovoked, out of nowhere bursts of aggression around a year old. Towards young girls mostly. He bit my friend on the lip and then eventually lunged at a baby who was just minding her own business. Baby's dad ripped her away a second before the dog got to her face. This dog was in full attack mode. We ended up choosing to put him down because we knew this dog was going to maul someone. It was the most bizarre thing. I had never witnessed truly unprovoked, snap violence from a dog before.
Just kidding. Me neither, I dont have one, we never had one, and I dont know anyone personally that has one. ow wait... my aunt does. I got 21 but know most of these though. All but about 8 and those might have a different name in my country ( and who can keep track of all the different terriers... )
I am not sure if it is consciously or subconciously but I usually dont remember the names of small dogs, cant stand them ( but their bad behaviour usually comes from bad upbringing by the owners) aggresive and loud things...
I lover most of the bigger breeds, labs, retriever, saint bernards, newfoundlanders. And the australian cattle dog is soo intelligent.. And shiba inu's are gorgeous! (couldnt remember the exact name though..) and malamutes..and..
I guess I got my hell no category, my swoon/ awwwww category, and my hey a dog category.
I might be wrong, but I believe it's because they're not considered to be a "real", official dog breed. I guess it might be due to the big variation in Jack Russels, whereas most other dogs like pugs, labradors etc, tend to look pretty similar.
The Jack Russell Terrier is not the name of the breed in the AKC (due to a rabidly anti-AKC group copyrighting the name and suing people). They do recognize the Parson Russell Terrier (long-legged version as originally bred by the Parson Jack Russell to hunt foxes) and the Russell Terrier (the short-legged version currently in vogue with those who hunt woodchucks and such rather than foxes).
Love dogs and did ok on this quiz. A bit frustrating as I couldn't spell some and I missed bits from the 'official' name so therefore missed quite a few. Oh well will have to go and walk the dog now!
Dalmatians actually make pretty bad pets for the most part. They can have a bad temperament, especially if they're confined for a while. Plus, there are alot of poorly bred Dalmatians out there which basically means you're fighting an uphill battle from the day you get the dog
I was surprised that the American Staffordshire Terrier is not on this list, especially since Cane Corso is. Are they really that rare in the USA? It's _American_ ST, after all (sincere question, since I'm from Germany and always thought it's easier to keep them as a pet in America).
The American Staffordshire Terrier is AKC recognized but most dogs of that "type" are instead registered with the UKC, which is more, ahem, flexible, about proper documentation. And most "pit bull type" dogs in the US are mongrels of various breeds in the broader bull-and-terrier-plus-another-mutt-or-two family. There are surprisingly few registered purebreds for the number of dogs out there (only 10% of dogs in the US are AKC registered, so...).
Wow, it would be nice if those commenting would read the source material rather than just saying can you do this. The Quizmaster states that the breed list comes from the American Kennel Club which is the parent club for all breeds recognized for conformation showing in the United States. Grouping breeds/varieties is not his choice, it's the AKC's. His terminology is not his, it's the AKC's.
I was so surprised not to see dalmatians - so much that I actually retyped it several times - that I had to go to the AKC site to see. Sure enough, they come in at #62.
I do not care what the American Kennel Club thinks is the most popular dog, because I know that the pit bull or American Staffordshire Terrier (or a mixed breed that is mostly that breed) is the most popular. Around here 1 out of every three dogs has some pit bull blood in them. Most of the dogs at the shelter or pound are some mix of pit bull.
So your personal experience is more knowledgable than the AKC about breed popularity? By saying "I know....is the most popular" and "around here...", you're just proving that it's your own perspective but not that of a country of 300 million people (and just as many dogs).
I rarely if ever see pitbulls where I live and there are lots of the first three breeds listed. But I wouldn't ever presume that to mean that pitbulls must be unpopular *everywhere*.
come to Arizona, either people have a lab, a pitty or they have a chihuahua., the AKA is not a respectable source of info for dog bread ownership..they also don't give papers to "mutts" which are the best dogs..
i know what you mean! On that quiz that asks for the most popular Chinese dishes? I don't CARE what the Chinese-American Restaurant Association says, because I KNOW that pizza is the most popular food by far! That quiz is as wrong as this one!
I've never met a Tibetan Terrier, but the Tibetans definitely got it goin' on in the doggo department! Both Lhasa Apsos and Tibetan Mastiffs, aside from being exactly opposite each other on the size scale, are both really sweet breeds.
What's the difference between "collie" and "border collie"? Does the former refer to the rough collie, and if so, could you please include "rough collie" as an accepted answer?
Sad to not see any sight hounds on the list. My whippets are the best dogs I've ever had. I was a husky/malamute person until I met my first Greyhound.
Funny - no setters, greyhounds, pointers, golden doodles, or the real winners, mutts and rescue dogs! Yeah, I know, AKC definitions and all. But it'd be interesting to see a quiz about actual ownership, versus what I'm guessing is a list compiled either from dogs registered with the AKC or from surveying breeders registered with the AKC.
And tried wienerdog wienese dog, teckel, all but dachshund...
and was surprised at no jack russel (terrier), or beagle. got 21, some more I couldnt spell or think of the right name. Some I hadnt heard of (west highland white terrier, but maybe it is known under a completely different name here.. brittany, and anything guessed less.)
Fun quiz but I think it's important to mention the AKC should not be considered a leading authority on anything dog-related. Their money-making agenda has pushed dogs into genetic corners that have lead to the horrible health trends we see in dogs today. They also represent the problem with the way our society sees dogs: as accessories or hobbies. These dogs are put in shows, put on registeries, people have arguments about whether a dog qualifies to fit a breed standard and all the while these conditions are really more detrimental to the dog's health which is undoubtedly more important than the way a dog looks. The AKC has in part (not only their fault) convinced people that the breed of a dog has a lot of influence on it's behavior when objectively, the difference in temperment/behavior is negligble. It's more the human influence that leads to some of the differences that we notice.Lastly, the AKC has encouraged a breeding epidemic while countless shelters have to euthanize countless
Thought I could breeze through this by answering dogs that I've come across in my own experience but turns out the popularity of dogs in rural NZ doesn't exactly match up to that of the US. And upon further research, also doesn't match up with my own country either. I thought everyone owned a Smooth Fox Terrier but apparently not

And I was surprised to see Samoyed so far back! I have one and thought they'd be a bit more popular than ranking 57!
