dogs

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a member of genus Canis (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colours. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet, "man's best friend".

    Akitas - great breed but not perfect

    My son got an Akita a few years ago. She's all white and incredibly cute, but their nature to hunt bears is never far away. We were her third owners as the first two were attracted to how cute she is but didn't want the work needed to care for her. As a result, she wasn't very well trained...

    Freely — another dogs’ dinner in the making?

    https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/freeview-streaming-future-freely-tv-hisense/ To me, Freely just seems like yet another half-baked attempt by the UK broadcasters. Yet again, we’ll be expected to buy more new kit, be it TVs that support the service, or perhaps an STB, with recording services if...

    iPlayer - turn off nagging dogs

    I'm really fed-up with the "watch from start?" dog that appears every time I select a BBC1, 2 etc tv channel on my JZ1500/Humax Sat box (loving the JZ1500 btw) - and I wanted to ask if anyone knows ANY way of turning these incredibly irritating prompts off? I know I can watch from the start if I...

    "Dangerous" dogs - question

    Firstly, not sure we have a pets section so, hope this can be housed in GC. I love dogs, I love all animals but as a cat owner, dogs aren't really my domain. Just then in our road, everything kicked off as my neighbour went out to take her two small dogs on their evening walk. Her dogs don't...

    GPS Trackers For Dogs

    Hi, Anyone got any experience of the above? Our 15 months old Bedlington Terrier ran from us in the park at 17:30 on Friday evening, something she'd never normally do so I assume something spooked her. 42 hours, 30+ miles of walking round various locations of potential sightings and much help...

    Apparently I do like dogs after all.

    I think of myself as more of a cat person. We have 4 of them with 1 of them 12 years old now. Last year we got a Beddlington Terrior puppy. She’s very cute and I feed her daily and walk her twice a day but still claim to “prefer the cats”. Recently my wife has been snapping pictures of me when...

    Laptop to play the Sims 4 + Cats & Dogs expansion?

    My daughter played Sims 4 on her laptop with no problem, and then installed the recent Cats & Dogs expansion. Three hours later the motherboard is dead. The view from the EA/Sims forum is that while her laptop is above spec for processor (i5) and GPU (Geforce GT740) , she was only ‘on’ spec for...
