More dog facts.
Prairie dogs, those little pups popping in and out of holes on vacant lots and rural rangeland, are talking up a storm. They have different "words" for tall human in yellow shirt, short human in green shirt, coyote, deer, red-tailed hawk and many other creatures.
Even though the Poodle is the national dog of France, it actually originated in Germany. Its name comes from the German word "Pudel," related to splashing in water, because it was originally a duck-retrieving water dog.
The Devon Rex sheds much less than most cats, but it isn't truly hypoallergenic, because the main cat allergen also comes from saliva and skin.
