I have two dogs, Poofie and Buddy
Cute names! What kind are they? Dogs can vary sooooo widely in types, shape, size, breed, temperament, color....tell me more about Poofie + Buddy!
They are Jack Russells. So, energetic lol. They love chasing squirrels
I have heard of so many Jack Russell owners lately! They seem very smart. I guess they have to be to outfox foxes, which is why they were originally bred!
Hah, they are pretty smart when they want to be. And, they're fun to own because they're useful for, say, yard pests but wont bring a dead mouse to your door
Okay, the no-mouse rule is a GOOD one. Good dog! Are they white-bodied, or of another color?
Mine are both solid white with brown spots :)
It seems a little strange that dogs bred to hunt foxes actually have distant relatives in the modern wolf!
It does, but it actually makes more sense if you think about the hunting aspect. Wolves naturally hunted smaller prey
Very true. And dogs as companions goes waaaay back. The first undisputed dog remains buried next to a human was 14,700 years ago (with some people providing *disputed* evidence from 36,000 years ago!)
