I love my dogs!
They really come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, don't they? What kind of dogs do you have?
All of mine are shelter pups. So there all mixed breeds.
Ah, gotcha. Mixed breed dogs are quite less susceptible genetic health issues because of their heterogeneity. So mixed is best!
Yeah, one of mine is a mix of a short haired, and a long haired Chihuahua. That's as close as we get to pure bred.
Have you ever had a dog go with you for a big project, like hunting, herding animals, personal protection, anything like that?
Yes, when I was a boy my grandfather kept many different kinds of hunting dogs. We would go hunting often.
Well, lots of different kinds of dogs can be used for various tasks when it comes to hunting, so what kind of dog did your grandfather have?
He had beagles, and some kind of bird dogs mostly. But, he traded dogs a lot with people.
Oh yeah, beagles are amazing scent finding hounds, that makes a lot of sense! And cute to boot, too.
