Dog Geniuses (2019)

1
00:00:21,849 --> 00:00:23,160
Here we are, Mugs.

2
00:00:23,161 --> 00:00:26,818
Our first day of class
at Pooch University.

3
00:00:26,819 --> 00:00:28,234
Oh, boy!

4
00:00:28,235 --> 00:00:30,753
I've waited my whole
life, all two years of it,

5
00:00:30,754 --> 00:00:32,445
to attend Pooch U.

6
00:00:32,446 --> 00:00:33,998
Me too!

7
00:00:33,999 --> 00:00:35,241
And look at this place!

8
00:00:35,242 --> 00:00:37,898
It's everything I
thought it'd be.

9
00:00:37,899 --> 00:00:39,176
Let me tell ya.

10
00:00:39,177 --> 00:00:42,248
Smell these
halls, the textbooks,

11
00:00:42,249 --> 00:00:45,251
the number two lead
pencils, the erasers!

12
00:00:45,252 --> 00:00:47,046
Listen to those paws squeak

13
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,358
on the freshly
mopped tile floors.

14
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:51,912
Oh, I've dreamt of this!

15
00:00:51,913 --> 00:00:53,017
So have I!

16
00:00:53,018 --> 00:00:55,088
Hey, let's find our classroom.

17
00:00:55,089 --> 00:00:56,158
I don't want us to be late

18
00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:57,504
to our very first lesson.

19
00:00:57,505 --> 00:00:58,609
Neither do I!

20
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:00,162
Let's go.

21
00:01:00,163 --> 00:01:02,338
Check this place out, Mugs!

22
00:01:03,201 --> 00:01:04,822
It's so big!

23
00:01:04,823 --> 00:01:07,860
So sprawling, it's vast!

24
00:01:08,999 --> 00:01:10,138
I know!

25
00:01:10,139 --> 00:01:12,450
Imagine throwing a
bone down this hallway,

26
00:01:12,451 --> 00:01:13,865
then chasing after it.

27
00:01:13,866 --> 00:01:14,935
Oh, what fun!

28
00:01:14,936 --> 00:01:16,316
Or a Frisbee!

29
00:01:16,317 --> 00:01:18,663
Now, hold on a
second, buddy boy.

30
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:20,631
This is the world
of scholastics,

31
00:01:20,632 --> 00:01:23,012
an institution of
higher learning.

32
00:01:23,013 --> 00:01:24,567
Yeah, so?

33
00:01:25,464 --> 00:01:26,671
What's your point?

34
00:01:26,672 --> 00:01:29,122
Well my point,
pup pupil, is this.

35
00:01:29,123 --> 00:01:31,711
We can't act like a
couple of animals here.

36
00:01:31,712 --> 00:01:34,507
We're not marauding
mutts, backyard brutes,

37
00:01:34,508 --> 00:01:36,129
canine commandos.

38
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:37,924
We're students, and we're here

39
00:01:37,925 --> 00:01:39,167
to get an education.

40
00:01:39,168 --> 00:01:41,410
Oh, yeah!

41
00:01:41,411 --> 00:01:42,653
I gotcha.

42
00:01:42,654 --> 00:01:44,655
No chasing our tails
or alerting when

43
00:01:44,656 --> 00:01:46,208
someone uses a pencil sharpener!

44
00:01:46,209 --> 00:01:48,107
Or barking when
someone drops a book.

45
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:49,108
Oh!

46
00:01:50,006 --> 00:01:51,800
No barking?

47
00:01:51,801 --> 00:01:54,113
Oh, no barking, Slobberstick.

48
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,943
Zero, nada, zilch.

49
00:01:56,944 --> 00:01:58,393
Barking's a no go here.

50
00:01:58,394 --> 00:02:00,671
We bark, and we'll
be canine non grata

51
00:02:00,672 --> 00:02:02,017
for the rest of the semester,

52
00:02:02,018 --> 00:02:03,846
you mark my words.

53
00:02:03,847 --> 00:02:05,263
Sheesh!

54
00:02:06,678 --> 00:02:11,164
Okay, but barking is my
favorite activity, Mugs.

55
00:02:11,165 --> 00:02:13,960
It's gonna be some kinda
tough to control myself.

56
00:02:13,961 --> 00:02:16,307
Well you got to, Slobberstick.

57
00:02:16,308 --> 00:02:19,414
We only get one chance to
make a first impression,

58
00:02:19,415 --> 00:02:22,486
and I want ours to be
the best it can be.

59
00:02:22,487 --> 00:02:26,006
Who knows, maybe someday
we'll be professors here.

60
00:02:26,007 --> 00:02:27,353
Whoa!

61
00:02:27,354 --> 00:02:28,561
Really?

62
00:02:28,562 --> 00:02:30,045
You think?

63
00:02:30,046 --> 00:02:32,116
If we play our biscuits
right, you never know.

64
00:02:32,117 --> 00:02:36,465
That'd be incredible!

65
00:02:36,466 --> 00:02:38,433
Professor Slobberstick.

66
00:02:38,434 --> 00:02:39,849
Professor Mugs.

67
00:02:41,816 --> 00:02:43,231
The future's bright, Mugs.

68
00:02:43,232 --> 00:02:44,578
Let's buy some chains.

69
00:02:45,682 --> 00:02:47,545
First things
first, Slobberstick,

70
00:02:47,546 --> 00:02:49,098
let's get to class.

71
00:02:49,099 --> 00:02:50,479
Here we are!

72
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,619
There's our room number.

73
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:53,449
Oh, boy!

74
00:02:53,450 --> 00:02:55,002
Here we go!

75
00:03:00,421 --> 00:03:01,594
Uh, hi.

76
00:03:01,595 --> 00:03:03,251
You must be Professor Fetch.

77
00:03:03,252 --> 00:03:05,874
And you must be
Slobbersticks and Mugs.

78
00:03:05,875 --> 00:03:07,496
Mugs and Slobberstick.

79
00:03:07,497 --> 00:03:08,464
Nice to meet you.

80
00:03:08,465 --> 00:03:10,050
Yes, yes!

81
00:03:10,051 --> 00:03:12,605
Well, are you dogs ready
for your introduction

82
00:03:12,606 --> 00:03:14,158
to higher learning?

83
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:15,505
Are we?

84
00:03:16,472 --> 00:03:18,611
We were born ready.

85
00:03:18,612 --> 00:03:20,233
Well!

86
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:21,717
I like your attitude.

87
00:03:21,718 --> 00:03:23,616
Let's get ready to start class.

88
00:03:23,617 --> 00:03:25,687
Oh, goody!

89
00:03:25,688 --> 00:03:27,206
Goody, let's go.

90
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:28,690
Toss something, Professor.

91
00:03:28,691 --> 00:03:32,072
You got a rock, a wet
stick, an old shoe?

92
00:03:32,073 --> 00:03:36,560
Hm, well this is not
that kind of class,

93
00:03:36,561 --> 00:03:38,320
this is higher dog learning.

94
00:03:38,321 --> 00:03:42,221
We must follow a certain
scholastic etiquette.

95
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,567
Etiquette?

96
00:03:43,568 --> 00:03:45,672
Is that a dessert?

97
00:03:45,673 --> 00:03:48,054
It's like a donut, right?

98
00:03:48,055 --> 00:03:49,469
Yum.

99
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:51,022
I love donuts.

100
00:03:51,023 --> 00:03:52,334
Slobberstick, please.

101
00:03:52,335 --> 00:03:53,750
You're embarrassing us.

102
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:56,511
Quite the contrary, Mugs.

103
00:03:56,512 --> 00:03:59,548
You are inquisitive, curious.

104
00:03:59,549 --> 00:04:01,378
Etiquette is the customary code

105
00:04:01,379 --> 00:04:03,966
of polite behavior in society,

106
00:04:03,967 --> 00:04:07,211
or among members of a
particular profession or group.

107
00:04:07,212 --> 00:04:08,040
Oh!

108
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,178
Like dogs.

109
00:04:09,179 --> 00:04:11,146
Yes, like dogs!

110
00:04:11,147 --> 00:04:13,735
Which, as it so happens,
will be the subject

111
00:04:13,736 --> 00:04:15,150
of our first class today.

112
00:04:15,151 --> 00:04:16,565
Dogs?

113
00:04:16,566 --> 00:04:18,981
Woo hoo!

114
00:04:18,982 --> 00:04:22,226
I know this subject
like the back of my paw.

115
00:04:22,227 --> 00:04:23,262
Me too!

116
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:24,401
This should be fun.

117
00:04:24,402 --> 00:04:26,989
No doubt, pupils, no doubt.

118
00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:29,198
Since you boys
are rearing to go,

119
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,648
let's say we begin at once.

120
00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:32,512
There's much ground to cover.

121
00:04:32,513 --> 00:04:33,858
How sweet!

122
00:04:33,859 --> 00:04:34,688
Awesome!

123
00:04:34,689 --> 00:04:36,723
Let's see...

124
00:04:36,724 --> 00:04:39,519
Where to begin?

125
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,488
Ah, how about with
one you'll know.

126
00:04:42,489 --> 00:04:44,144
If you don't mind
me asking, Mugs,

127
00:04:44,145 --> 00:04:46,077
what kind of breed
of dog are you?

128
00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:47,010
Me?

129
00:04:47,011 --> 00:04:48,425
I'm a sheepdog, Professor.

130
00:04:48,426 --> 00:04:49,289
Excellent!

131
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:50,323
We'll start there.

132
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:51,325
Have a seat.

133
00:04:53,431 --> 00:04:57,675
If you or your friends
ever need to be corralled,

134
00:04:57,676 --> 00:05:01,265
it's a good bet that
the Shetland Sheepdog

135
00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:03,302
can more than do the trick.

136
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,338
In fact, herding is exactly

137
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:08,377
what this cute little
animal was bred to do.

138
00:05:10,137 --> 00:05:12,380
Shetland Sheepdogs
are also known

139
00:05:12,381 --> 00:05:14,623
as the "Sheltie" for short.

140
00:05:14,624 --> 00:05:16,936
They're small dogs
that look a lot like

141
00:05:16,937 --> 00:05:19,870
tiny versions of the
very popular collie.

142
00:05:19,871 --> 00:05:22,493
The Sheltie is part
of a group of dogs

143
00:05:22,494 --> 00:05:24,530
called "herding dogs".

144
00:05:24,531 --> 00:05:27,464
The amazing Shetland
Sheepdog comes to the world

145
00:05:27,465 --> 00:05:28,775
from the Shetland Islands,

146
00:05:28,776 --> 00:05:30,398
where breeders created it

147
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:33,987
by mixing Icelandic Yakkins
with Border Collies.

148
00:05:33,988 --> 00:05:37,232
These pooches were
primarily used to herd sheep

149
00:05:37,233 --> 00:05:41,098
so that they are kept
away from garden plants.

150
00:05:41,099 --> 00:05:42,306
How neat!

151
00:05:42,307 --> 00:05:44,481
Even though when
it comes to herding

152
00:05:44,482 --> 00:05:46,897
few dogs are as
good as the Sheltie,

153
00:05:46,898 --> 00:05:49,934
today these magnificent
mutts are mostly found

154
00:05:49,935 --> 00:05:53,041
herding kids around
in homes everywhere.

155
00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:56,734
Moms and dads are very
grateful for this.

156
00:05:56,735 --> 00:05:57,909
You can imagine.

157
00:05:59,531 --> 00:06:02,464
The Sheltie is super popular
in the United States,

158
00:06:02,465 --> 00:06:04,501
where it comes in at number 20

159
00:06:04,502 --> 00:06:07,124
on the most popular breeds list.

160
00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:10,403
Shelties can grow to be
about 15 inches tall,

161
00:06:10,404 --> 00:06:14,373
and weigh in anywhere
from 20 to 40 pounds.

162
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:17,376
These cute little guys
have a thick double coat,

163
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:20,275
and a hefty mane
around their necks.

164
00:06:20,276 --> 00:06:23,623
They come in lots of
colors like black and gray,

165
00:06:23,624 --> 00:06:26,833
but it's the tricolored
black, white, and tan ones

166
00:06:26,834 --> 00:06:28,939
that are most often seen,

167
00:06:28,940 --> 00:06:31,907
and wow do we love seeing them.

168
00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:34,877
They're just so
doggoned adorable!

169
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:40,122
Shetland Sheepdogs have
heads that are shaped

170
00:06:40,123 --> 00:06:43,263
like a slice of pie,
almond shaped eyes,

171
00:06:43,264 --> 00:06:45,404
cute little ears
with folded tips,

172
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:48,615
and muscular bodies
with long tails.

173
00:06:51,859 --> 00:06:54,723
Shelties are
incredibly smart too!

174
00:06:54,724 --> 00:06:56,760
In fact, they are the sixth most

175
00:06:56,761 --> 00:07:00,591
intelligent type of dog
in the whole wide world.

176
00:07:00,592 --> 00:07:01,559
Wow!

177
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,422
I didn't know all that.

178
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:04,871
Neither did I.

179
00:07:04,872 --> 00:07:07,011
You were a mystery to me, buddy.

180
00:07:07,012 --> 00:07:10,359
Welcome to the world of
higher learning, pupils.

181
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,673
Where no subject is exempt
from our probing minds,

182
00:07:13,674 --> 00:07:16,814
and no mental stone
will be left unturned.

183
00:07:16,815 --> 00:07:18,091
Stones?

184
00:07:18,092 --> 00:07:21,750
I love turning over
stones, and sticks,

185
00:07:21,751 --> 00:07:25,547
and balls, tennis
balls especially!

186
00:07:25,548 --> 00:07:26,721
Slobberstick, please.

187
00:07:26,722 --> 00:07:28,448
Oh, right.

188
00:07:29,552 --> 00:07:30,794
Moving right along.

189
00:07:30,795 --> 00:07:31,795
Yeah!

190
00:07:32,624 --> 00:07:34,211
Tell us more, Professor.

191
00:07:34,212 --> 00:07:35,902
What about collies?

192
00:07:35,903 --> 00:07:38,077
Every wonder what
the smartest dog

193
00:07:38,078 --> 00:07:40,286
in the whole wide world is?

194
00:07:40,287 --> 00:07:42,253
Well, you're about to meet them.

195
00:07:42,254 --> 00:07:44,739
Get set to meet
the wondrous animal

196
00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:47,467
known as the Border Collie.

197
00:07:49,261 --> 00:07:50,952
Border Collies are working dogs

198
00:07:50,953 --> 00:07:53,679
who are relatives
of landrace collies.

199
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,577
These amazing
animals were created

200
00:07:55,578 --> 00:07:57,165
during the 19th century

201
00:07:57,166 --> 00:08:00,168
by breeders to chase
and keep farm animals

202
00:08:00,169 --> 00:08:01,653
like sheep together.

203
00:08:03,552 --> 00:08:05,829
Border Collies are world famous

204
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:08,072
for their incredible
intelligence,

205
00:08:08,073 --> 00:08:10,281
and excellent herding skills.

206
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:13,976
Nowadays, they make
super household pets too!

207
00:08:16,530 --> 00:08:18,945
Border Collies can
grow up to about

208
00:08:18,946 --> 00:08:21,569
18 to 22 inches tall,

209
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:24,951
and weigh around
27 to 45 pounds.

210
00:08:24,952 --> 00:08:27,298
These dogs have smooth fur,

211
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:30,336
and at times, it can
even feel a little rough.

212
00:08:30,337 --> 00:08:32,649
They're usually black
and white in color,

213
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:35,237
but it has a
beautiful double coat

214
00:08:35,238 --> 00:08:37,412
that can be a mix of white, red,

215
00:08:37,413 --> 00:08:39,241
and light or dark brown.

216
00:08:39,242 --> 00:08:43,832
They are gorgeous,
simply gorgeous.

217
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:46,455
Border Collies have
flat, medium sized heads

218
00:08:46,456 --> 00:08:48,527
with loving, oval shaped faces,

219
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,012
and ears that can either
stand straight up,

220
00:08:51,013 --> 00:08:52,703
or be dropping.

221
00:08:52,704 --> 00:08:54,394
They have medium length hair

222
00:08:54,395 --> 00:08:57,812
that goes all the way to
the tips of their tails.

223
00:08:57,813 --> 00:09:00,540
How handsome is this dog?

224
00:09:06,511 --> 00:09:07,994
Border Collies are
famous for being

225
00:09:07,995 --> 00:09:09,893
the smartest dog in the world,

226
00:09:09,894 --> 00:09:12,067
and the smartest
Bordie Collie ever

227
00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:13,759
was named Chaser.

228
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,830
This amazing animal
learned the name

229
00:09:15,831 --> 00:09:19,627
of each of her 1,000 toys.

230
00:09:19,628 --> 00:09:21,629
Now that's smart!

231
00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:25,287
Another super smartypants
Border Collie was Striker.

232
00:09:25,288 --> 00:09:27,566
He learned how to
roll down car windows

233
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,809
using his nose and paws.

234
00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:32,122
Maybe he even knew how to drive,

235
00:09:32,123 --> 00:09:35,471
and just didn't tell anyone.

236
00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:40,648
Border Collies are insanely
happy and loyal dogs

237
00:09:40,649 --> 00:09:43,064
who love to be
surrounded with people

238
00:09:43,065 --> 00:09:44,756
and other animals.

239
00:09:48,898 --> 00:09:52,521
Hope you have a big backyard
if you own one of these.

240
00:09:52,522 --> 00:09:54,903
These dogs need lots of exercise

241
00:09:54,904 --> 00:09:56,664
to stay happy and healthy.

242
00:09:56,665 --> 00:10:01,324
A bored Border Collie may
drive you a little crazy.

243
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:08,123
Border Collies can learn to
do lots of important things

244
00:10:08,124 --> 00:10:10,194
like being search
and rescue dogs,

245
00:10:10,195 --> 00:10:12,231
and serving as therapy dogs

246
00:10:12,232 --> 00:10:14,923
for people who need
some extra attention.

247
00:10:14,924 --> 00:10:17,996
They really are
all-purpose pooches.

248
00:10:24,037 --> 00:10:25,900
Rowdy, those collies!

249
00:10:25,901 --> 00:10:29,697
A boxer is a very
interesting dog breed.

250
00:10:29,698 --> 00:10:31,112
Put 'em up, kids.

251
00:10:31,113 --> 00:10:34,633
You're about to meet
a dog like no other!

252
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:37,118
Say hello to the boxer!

253
00:10:37,119 --> 00:10:39,327
Well, not a real boxer,

254
00:10:39,328 --> 00:10:41,847
though these dogs
would look super funny

255
00:10:41,848 --> 00:10:44,781
wearing boxing gloves.

256
00:10:44,782 --> 00:10:47,128
The boxer was created
by dog breeders

257
00:10:47,129 --> 00:10:49,648
during the 19th
century in Germany.

258
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:53,893
They were made by mixing
Mastiffs with English Bulldogs.

259
00:10:53,894 --> 00:10:56,655
The boxers were bred to
be good hunting dogs,

260
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:58,587
but over the years
they've become

261
00:10:58,588 --> 00:11:01,521
really cool and
popular house pets.

262
00:11:01,522 --> 00:11:03,800
You might even know one.

263
00:11:03,801 --> 00:11:06,354
They're medium sized
dogs that grow to be

264
00:11:06,355 --> 00:11:09,115
about 21 to 25 inches tall,

265
00:11:09,116 --> 00:11:13,327
and weigh in from
around 55 to 75 pounds.

266
00:11:15,122 --> 00:11:17,123
These handsome animals
have short hair

267
00:11:17,124 --> 00:11:18,193
and smooth fur,

268
00:11:18,194 --> 00:11:20,161
and are usually multi-colored.

269
00:11:20,162 --> 00:11:22,715
Boxers have smallish
heads with big lips

270
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:24,061
and floppy ears,

271
00:11:24,062 --> 00:11:26,339
their jaws are
usually square shaped,

272
00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:28,031
and their bottom jaws stick out

273
00:11:28,032 --> 00:11:30,619
farther than their top ones.

274
00:11:30,620 --> 00:11:31,620
How cute.

275
00:11:33,037 --> 00:11:36,315
So, how did this dog
get its feisty name?

276
00:11:36,316 --> 00:11:39,042
The name "boxer" refers
to one of the more

277
00:11:39,043 --> 00:11:42,183
interesting habits of
this particular pooch.

278
00:11:42,184 --> 00:11:45,393
A boxer will actually
stand on its back legs

279
00:11:45,394 --> 00:11:48,983
and use its front paws
to actually box a bit.

280
00:11:48,984 --> 00:11:50,501
Wow.

281
00:11:50,502 --> 00:11:51,711
That's too cool.

282
00:11:53,264 --> 00:11:56,335
Also cool, there's a
boxer named "Brandy"

283
00:11:56,336 --> 00:11:57,992
who holds the record for having

284
00:11:57,993 --> 00:11:59,959
the longest tongue ever

285
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,272
in the Guinness Book
of World Records.

286
00:12:02,273 --> 00:12:03,273
How long?

287
00:12:03,274 --> 00:12:05,654
17 inches!

288
00:12:05,655 --> 00:12:06,863
Wow.

289
00:12:06,864 --> 00:12:09,728
A kiss from Brandy would
leave you soaking wet.

290
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,005
Be prepared, though.

291
00:12:11,006 --> 00:12:13,007
No matter what the tongue size,

292
00:12:13,008 --> 00:12:17,288
all boxers have a habit
of drooling.

293
00:12:19,497 --> 00:12:20,325
Cute.

294
00:12:20,326 --> 00:12:23,225
Sloppy, but cute.

295
00:12:25,089 --> 00:12:28,022
Boxers are also super
fast for their size,

296
00:12:28,023 --> 00:12:30,369
and when running, can
reach speeds of up to

297
00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:32,716
30 miles per hour.

298
00:12:32,717 --> 00:12:34,200
Whoa!

299
00:12:34,201 --> 00:12:37,928
They're super athletic dogs,
and were usually circus stars.

300
00:12:37,929 --> 00:12:41,932
They were even used during
the World War as messengers.

301
00:12:41,933 --> 00:12:43,141
Amazing.

302
00:12:45,972 --> 00:12:49,491
Boxers are so unique, Professor.

303
00:12:49,492 --> 00:12:52,184
I want to play with one.

304
00:12:52,185 --> 00:12:54,565
Who do you think would
win in a tug-of-war, guys?

305
00:12:54,566 --> 00:12:57,430
Me or a boxer?

306
00:12:57,431 --> 00:12:59,398
You might stand a better chance

307
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:01,400
with the next dog breed, Slobs.

308
00:13:01,401 --> 00:13:02,677
On to those chihuahuas.

309
00:13:02,678 --> 00:13:04,161
As you wish, Mugs.

310
00:13:04,162 --> 00:13:06,681
Here come the chihuahuas.

311
00:13:06,682 --> 00:13:08,165
Let's hope you're ready,

312
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:12,135
because you're about to meet
something really special.

313
00:13:12,136 --> 00:13:16,070
One of the smallest dogs
in the whole wide world!

314
00:13:16,071 --> 00:13:19,039
Say hello to the chihuahua!

315
00:13:20,489 --> 00:13:24,078
The chihuahua is a member
of the toy breed dog family,

316
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:26,183
and they make awesome
little friends,

317
00:13:26,184 --> 00:13:29,117
as they love being
companions, and of course,

318
00:13:29,118 --> 00:13:30,912
adore lying in your lap.

319
00:13:30,913 --> 00:13:33,640
They sure are small
enough to fit, huh?

320
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:39,093
Chihuahua are relatives
of an ancient Mexican dog

321
00:13:39,094 --> 00:13:41,129
that was known as
the Techichi dog.

322
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:43,235
These tiny barkers
lived in Mexico

323
00:13:43,236 --> 00:13:46,031
for about 1,400
years before making

324
00:13:46,032 --> 00:13:48,447
its cute little way
to the United States,

325
00:13:48,448 --> 00:13:51,519
and eventually, around
the entire world.

326
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,522
These little critters
are super popular,

327
00:13:54,523 --> 00:13:56,905
or should I say, "pupular".

328
00:14:00,149 --> 00:14:02,116
Chihuahua only
grow to be no more

329
00:14:02,117 --> 00:14:03,669
than nine inches tall,

330
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:06,568
weighing in around
four to seven pounds.

331
00:14:06,569 --> 00:14:08,882
Now that is so tiny.

332
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,436
Want to know something cool?

333
00:14:12,437 --> 00:14:15,750
There was once a chihuahua
named "Miracle Milly"

334
00:14:15,751 --> 00:14:17,786
and she holds the world record

335
00:14:17,787 --> 00:14:20,617
for being the
smallest dog on Earth,

336
00:14:20,618 --> 00:14:23,516
being on 3.8 inches tall,

337
00:14:23,517 --> 00:14:26,071
and weighing just
a couple of pounds!

338
00:14:26,072 --> 00:14:28,176
That's half the
size of a banana!

339
00:14:28,177 --> 00:14:31,318
Aw, too cute.

340
00:14:33,251 --> 00:14:35,874
There are two kinds of
adorable chihuahuas.

341
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,152
One has long hair
and a smooth coat,

342
00:14:38,153 --> 00:14:40,361
and the other is
usually a silky,

343
00:14:40,362 --> 00:14:43,812
or at times, wiry single,
or even double coat.

344
00:14:43,813 --> 00:14:46,022
They come in lots of colors too.

345
00:14:46,023 --> 00:14:49,888
Like red, black,
gold, brown, white,

346
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:53,132
and even sometimes show
up as multicolored.

347
00:14:53,133 --> 00:14:55,617
No matter what your
favorite color is,

348
00:14:55,618 --> 00:14:57,619
there's probably a
chihuahua out there

349
00:14:57,620 --> 00:14:59,449
waiting to lick you on the face

350
00:14:59,450 --> 00:15:02,142
with a big old kiss.

351
00:15:05,249 --> 00:15:07,388
Chihuahuas have
little round heads,

352
00:15:07,389 --> 00:15:11,047
big bulging eyes, and ears
that stand straight up

353
00:15:11,048 --> 00:15:12,324
on their noggins.

354
00:15:12,325 --> 00:15:15,120
They're named after the
largest state in Mexico,

355
00:15:15,121 --> 00:15:16,569
and for a little while,

356
00:15:16,570 --> 00:15:20,401
it was also known as either
a Texas or Arizona dog

357
00:15:20,402 --> 00:15:22,368
because that's where
these little fellas

358
00:15:22,369 --> 00:15:24,750
had been found in
the United States,

359
00:15:24,751 --> 00:15:27,167
just near the Mexico border.

360
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:32,447
What cool dogs chihuahuas are!

361
00:15:32,448 --> 00:15:34,104
I can't think of
another small breed

362
00:15:34,105 --> 00:15:35,934
that has more
charm than they do!

363
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:38,937
Well, Mugs, are you
familiar with the Pomeranian?

364
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,248
The Pomeranian?

365
00:15:40,249 --> 00:15:41,491
No.

366
00:15:41,492 --> 00:15:43,734
Then allow me to introduce you.

367
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,013
Looking for the
perfect companion

368
00:15:46,014 --> 00:15:48,498
to have fun and cuddle with?

369
00:15:48,499 --> 00:15:49,740
Who isn't!

370
00:15:49,741 --> 00:15:51,570
Needless to say,
you're gonna fall

371
00:15:51,571 --> 00:15:54,538
quickly in love with
our next furry friend,

372
00:15:54,539 --> 00:15:55,920
the Pomeranian.

373
00:15:58,302 --> 00:16:00,717
Pomeranians are the
smallest members

374
00:16:00,718 --> 00:16:02,477
of the Spitz family of dogs,

375
00:16:02,478 --> 00:16:04,755
and even though they are small,

376
00:16:04,756 --> 00:16:07,794
they have giant
sized personalities.

377
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:12,108
They're also a very
popular dog breed.

378
00:16:12,109 --> 00:16:15,180
Pomeranians are one
of the 15 most popular

379
00:16:15,181 --> 00:16:16,698
in the United States,

380
00:16:16,699 --> 00:16:20,806
and have stayed on that
list for over a decade.

381
00:16:20,807 --> 00:16:22,774
Wow, how cool!

382
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:27,192
Pomeranians are adorable.

383
00:16:27,193 --> 00:16:30,505
They can grow to be about
seven or 12 inches tall,

384
00:16:30,506 --> 00:16:34,233
and weigh in somewhere between
three and seven pounds.

385
00:16:34,234 --> 00:16:36,615
These pooches have
thick, fluffy coats,

386
00:16:36,616 --> 00:16:38,617
and come in a ton of colors,

387
00:16:38,618 --> 00:16:43,001
like sable, red,
blue, gray, orange,

388
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:46,038
brindle, and even bicolored tan,

389
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:47,971
white, brown, and balck.

390
00:16:47,972 --> 00:16:49,180
How cool!

391
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:52,113
Pomeranians have
pie shaped heads

392
00:16:52,114 --> 00:16:54,357
with pointy snouts
which makes them look

393
00:16:54,358 --> 00:16:56,704
kind of like tiny foxes.

394
00:16:56,705 --> 00:16:59,051
They also have
almond shaped eyes,

395
00:16:59,052 --> 00:17:03,400
pointy ears, and small
bodies with curly tails.

396
00:17:03,401 --> 00:17:05,472
Aren't they cute?

397
00:17:10,098 --> 00:17:13,031
These adorable doggies
are uber intelligent,

398
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:16,344
very loyal, and even
kind of independent.

399
00:17:16,345 --> 00:17:18,346
They aren't very
demanding animals,

400
00:17:18,347 --> 00:17:20,797
but they will bond
with their family

401
00:17:20,798 --> 00:17:23,006
and follow them
from room to room

402
00:17:23,007 --> 00:17:24,732
to make sure they're near,

403
00:17:24,733 --> 00:17:27,666
should they want to
give their pooch a rub.

404
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:30,082
Aw!

405
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:32,774
Pomeranians also
love to be dressed up

406
00:17:32,775 --> 00:17:35,018
and travel with their families,

407
00:17:35,019 --> 00:17:38,194
either on foot, or
in a doggy stroller.

408
00:17:38,195 --> 00:17:39,885
Isn't that sweet?

409
00:17:39,886 --> 00:17:41,956
Plus, because they're so smart

410
00:17:41,957 --> 00:17:43,716
and can learn tricks easily,

411
00:17:43,717 --> 00:17:46,099
they're extra fun, fun, fun!

412
00:17:47,549 --> 00:17:52,036
Nice, but what about some
big dog breeds, Professor?

413
00:17:53,210 --> 00:17:56,419
These teeny, tiny dogs
are like wind up toys.

414
00:17:56,420 --> 00:17:58,697
Can we hear about
something we can relate to?

415
00:17:58,698 --> 00:18:01,389
Oh, you want the big dogs, eh?

416
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:02,494
Yeah!

417
00:18:02,495 --> 00:18:03,874
Okay, Slobberstick.

418
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:06,291
Try the Mastiff on for size!

419
00:18:06,292 --> 00:18:07,396
The Mastiff?

420
00:18:08,639 --> 00:18:09,949
Cool!

421
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:12,469
Say hello to this big dog.

422
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:15,300
The English Mastiff
is a very large

423
00:18:15,301 --> 00:18:17,302
and awesome worker animal.

424
00:18:17,303 --> 00:18:20,581
Let's check out
everything about them.

425
00:18:20,582 --> 00:18:23,031
English Mastiffs were
created in England

426
00:18:23,032 --> 00:18:25,620
by breeders from a
now extinct dog breed

427
00:18:25,621 --> 00:18:28,279
that was once known as Molossus.

428
00:18:29,418 --> 00:18:31,626
The English Mastiff
came to America

429
00:18:31,627 --> 00:18:34,181
on the Mayflower
with the pilgrims!

430
00:18:34,182 --> 00:18:36,977
Can you say colonial dog?

431
00:18:43,018 --> 00:18:45,985
These pooches are
the 26th most popular

432
00:18:45,986 --> 00:18:47,953
dog breed in the United States,

433
00:18:47,954 --> 00:18:50,473
and are great and
gentle house pets.

434
00:18:50,474 --> 00:18:53,131
But the English Mastiff is big.

435
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:56,755
Fully grown, they can
be 27 to 30 inches tall,

436
00:18:56,756 --> 00:19:01,692
and weigh anywhere
from 140 to 220 pounds.

437
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,004
My, my!

438
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:10,009
These marvelous animals
have short, sleek coats

439
00:19:10,010 --> 00:19:13,737
that come in light yellowish
brown, light reddish brown,

440
00:19:13,738 --> 00:19:17,189
or sometimes yellowish
brown with black spots!

441
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:20,642
Breeders call this
color combo "brindle".

442
00:19:27,304 --> 00:19:31,410
An English Mastiff has a
really big head and body,

443
00:19:31,411 --> 00:19:34,931
and you guessed
it, they eat a lot.

444
00:19:34,932 --> 00:19:37,313
If you have a Mastiff
living in your home,

445
00:19:37,314 --> 00:19:39,625
you'll likely be
going grocery shopping

446
00:19:39,626 --> 00:19:42,629
for you and the
Mastiff quite a lot.

447
00:19:44,493 --> 00:19:45,976
For as big as they are,

448
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:49,808
English Mastiffs are calm
and very gentle dogs.

449
00:19:49,809 --> 00:19:53,156
They're super loyal, and
get along with everyone,

450
00:19:53,157 --> 00:19:54,847
even other pets.

451
00:19:54,848 --> 00:19:56,021
Be warned, though.

452
00:19:56,022 --> 00:19:58,851
They are very
difficult to train.

453
00:19:58,852 --> 00:20:01,682
They're overly sensitive
and stubborn doggies,

454
00:20:01,683 --> 00:20:03,684
but they learn well from love

455
00:20:03,685 --> 00:20:06,308
and positive reinforcement.

456
00:20:14,454 --> 00:20:16,110
English Mastiffs can be kept

457
00:20:16,111 --> 00:20:18,043
in small houses and apartments

458
00:20:18,044 --> 00:20:21,219
because even if you
have a huge backyard,

459
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,428
this big fella would
rather hang out

460
00:20:23,429 --> 00:20:25,223
inside with its family.

461
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,502
Aw, too cute!

462
00:20:30,436 --> 00:20:31,953
Wow!

463
00:20:31,954 --> 00:20:34,093
What a big guy.

464
00:20:34,094 --> 00:20:36,130
Now that's a dog.

465
00:20:36,131 --> 00:20:37,373
Sure is!

466
00:20:37,374 --> 00:20:39,306
I thought you boys
would enjoy that.

467
00:20:39,307 --> 00:20:40,928
And before we continue,

468
00:20:40,929 --> 00:20:42,964
no discussion of
large dog breeds

469
00:20:42,965 --> 00:20:44,690
would be complete
without touching

470
00:20:44,691 --> 00:20:46,141
on the German Shepherd.

471
00:20:47,211 --> 00:20:48,556
Guess what?

472
00:20:48,557 --> 00:20:51,283
You're about to meet
one of the best dogs

473
00:20:51,284 --> 00:20:53,906
in the whole wide world!

474
00:20:53,907 --> 00:20:56,978
Not to mention, one of
the most beautiful too.

475
00:20:56,979 --> 00:20:59,429
Say hello to the
German Shepherd,

476
00:20:59,430 --> 00:21:02,191
and prepare for lots of kisses.

477
00:21:04,090 --> 00:21:07,265
Originally known as the
German Shepherd Dog,

478
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:09,370
this breed is one
of the only ones

479
00:21:09,371 --> 00:21:12,649
to have the word "Dog"
be apart of its name.

480
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:13,617
Why?

481
00:21:13,618 --> 00:21:14,927
Well, that's a great question

482
00:21:14,928 --> 00:21:17,516
that has a pretty cool answer.

483
00:21:17,517 --> 00:21:20,623
Back in the olden days,
being a German Shepherd

484
00:21:20,624 --> 00:21:23,488
was a job that
lots of humans had.

485
00:21:23,489 --> 00:21:25,455
That's why the
breed became known

486
00:21:25,456 --> 00:21:27,526
as the German Shepherd Dog

487
00:21:27,527 --> 00:21:29,252
so people could
tell the difference

488
00:21:29,253 --> 00:21:33,118
when speaking about either
the person or the dog breed.

489
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,775
Pretty cool, right?

490
00:21:34,776 --> 00:21:35,776
You betcha.

491
00:21:39,194 --> 00:21:43,991
During the year 1889, a man
named Max von Stephanitz

492
00:21:43,992 --> 00:21:46,269
started breeding
what we now know

493
00:21:46,270 --> 00:21:47,753
as the German Shepherd.

494
00:21:47,754 --> 00:21:51,170
This happened at a dog
show when he caught sight

495
00:21:51,171 --> 00:21:54,691
of a medium sized, gray
and yellow type dog

496
00:21:54,692 --> 00:21:56,969
that he thought
looked like a wolf.

497
00:21:56,970 --> 00:22:00,525
Developing this breed earned
Stephanitz the nickname,

498
00:22:00,526 --> 00:22:04,322
"Father of the
German Shepherd Dog".

499
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,910
German Shepherd dogs
come in many colors

500
00:22:06,911 --> 00:22:10,914
like black, sable,
gray, black and tan,

501
00:22:10,915 --> 00:22:13,952
red and black, brown,
black and silver,

502
00:22:13,953 --> 00:22:16,126
and even blue.

503
00:22:16,127 --> 00:22:18,059
How cool is that?

504
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:19,820
Over the years, German Shepherds

505
00:22:19,821 --> 00:22:23,030
have grown in popularity
all over the world,

506
00:22:23,031 --> 00:22:26,067
and it's become the
second most registered dog

507
00:22:26,068 --> 00:22:28,726
in the United States of America.

508
00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:44,189
When it comes to a performance,

509
00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:47,779
there's not a whole lot that
a German Shepherd can't do.

510
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:50,954
They make great house
pets, awesome guard dogs,

511
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:54,372
serve on the force of both
the police and the military,

512
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:58,306
and even make incredible
service and companion dogs.

513
00:22:58,307 --> 00:23:02,001
In a word, German
Shepherds are awesome!

514
00:23:06,108 --> 00:23:09,939
Amazing dogs, those
German Shepherds!

515
00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:11,492
On to the Rottweiler!

516
00:23:11,493 --> 00:23:12,735
Give us a Rottie, Professor.

517
00:23:12,736 --> 00:23:14,944
One Rottweiler coming up!

518
00:23:14,945 --> 00:23:17,533
It's time to meet not
only one of the best

519
00:23:17,534 --> 00:23:19,086
watch dogs in the world,

520
00:23:19,087 --> 00:23:22,192
but also one of
the most adorable!

521
00:23:22,193 --> 00:23:25,403
Get ready to say hi to
the German bred pooch,

522
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,027
better known as the Rottweiler!

523
00:23:29,787 --> 00:23:32,824
Rottweilers were created
with protection in mind.

524
00:23:32,825 --> 00:23:35,136
In the olden days,
they were work dogs

525
00:23:35,137 --> 00:23:37,967
who were employed to guide
cattle to the market,

526
00:23:37,968 --> 00:23:41,798
and to pull heavy carts for
both butchers and farmers.

527
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,803
These dogs are strong,
with a capital S.

528
00:23:51,637 --> 00:23:54,949
Rottweilers are the 10th
most popular breed of dog

529
00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:56,157
in the Untied States,

530
00:23:56,158 --> 00:23:58,194
and make super great house pets,

531
00:23:58,195 --> 00:24:00,646
and of course, guard dogs.

532
00:24:03,856 --> 00:24:05,443
Rotties are fairly big too.

533
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:08,722
An adult can grow to be
almost 30 inches tall

534
00:24:08,723 --> 00:24:12,277
and weigh up to 130 pounds!

535
00:24:12,278 --> 00:24:13,485
Phew!

536
00:24:13,486 --> 00:24:15,868
Told you they were
big and strong.

537
00:24:20,804 --> 00:24:23,461
Rotties have really
smooth, short black coats,

538
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,359
sometimes with brown markings

539
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,947
on their adorable faces,

540
00:24:26,948 --> 00:24:29,846
and their super muscular
chests and legs.

541
00:24:29,847 --> 00:24:32,262
Their heads are
thick and sizable,

542
00:24:32,263 --> 00:24:35,196
with cute little triangle
shaped ears on top.

543
00:24:35,197 --> 00:24:37,164
Some owners like to shorten

544
00:24:37,165 --> 00:24:39,511
or crop their tails
when they're young,

545
00:24:39,512 --> 00:24:41,409
but we'll take these
black beauties.

546
00:24:41,410 --> 00:24:43,101
Any way we can get them.

547
00:24:43,102 --> 00:24:45,794
Aw, how cute.

548
00:24:52,111 --> 00:24:54,906
Rottweilers are insanely smart,

549
00:24:54,907 --> 00:24:56,839
but along with that,

550
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,497
they are super stubborn dogs.

551
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:02,051
It can be easily
trained as long as

552
00:25:02,052 --> 00:25:04,744
their humans are fair and firm.

553
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:10,473
Rotties are sometimes
related to being bullies,

554
00:25:10,474 --> 00:25:13,165
but that couldn't be
further from the truth.

555
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:15,478
These dogs are very cuddly,

556
00:25:15,479 --> 00:25:17,411
and happy to please their humans

557
00:25:17,412 --> 00:25:19,551
by being very loyal.

558
00:25:19,552 --> 00:25:23,210
They really do make
awesome, loving pets.

559
00:25:23,211 --> 00:25:25,695
Rottweilers do not
like to be alone.

560
00:25:25,696 --> 00:25:27,973
They are social dogs
that want to spend

561
00:25:27,974 --> 00:25:30,736
as much time with their
families as possible.

562
00:25:32,910 --> 00:25:33,910
Hey!

563
00:25:34,981 --> 00:25:37,880
Do you guys want to
hear about Dobermanns?

564
00:25:37,881 --> 00:25:40,779
I'm sure everybody would
love to, Slobberstick.

565
00:25:40,780 --> 00:25:43,333
Check this out!

566
00:25:43,334 --> 00:25:46,198
One of the more famous
work dogs in the world

567
00:25:46,199 --> 00:25:49,926
is without question, the
renowned Dobermann Pinscher,

568
00:25:49,927 --> 00:25:52,308
and there's a great
reason for that.

569
00:25:52,309 --> 00:25:54,482
When it comes to
getting a job done,

570
00:25:54,483 --> 00:25:57,002
few pooches are
as capable, smart,

571
00:25:57,003 --> 00:26:00,248
and strong as this
handsome dog from Germany.

572
00:26:01,421 --> 00:26:03,768
The marvel known as
the Dobermann Pinscher

573
00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:06,218
was originally
created in Germany

574
00:26:06,219 --> 00:26:08,876
way back during the 1890s.

575
00:26:08,877 --> 00:26:11,120
Breeders did so by
combining around

576
00:26:11,121 --> 00:26:13,571
seven different breeds of dogs,

577
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:16,712
including Rottweilers,
Manchester Terriers,

578
00:26:16,713 --> 00:26:20,578
the German Pinscher,
and even the Great Dane.

579
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:21,820
Whoa!

580
00:26:21,821 --> 00:26:23,753
Why go through all
of this trouble?

581
00:26:23,754 --> 00:26:25,928
Because the breeders
wanted to create

582
00:26:25,929 --> 00:26:28,620
one of the world's
best guard dogs,

583
00:26:28,621 --> 00:26:31,278
and they were
totally successful.

584
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:34,108
These incredible animals
came to the United States

585
00:26:34,109 --> 00:26:37,008
somewhere around the
beginning of the 20th century,

586
00:26:37,009 --> 00:26:39,907
and since then, they
have become the 12th most

587
00:26:39,908 --> 00:26:42,116
popular dog in America,

588
00:26:42,117 --> 00:26:44,118
and it's easy to tell why.

589
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,914
Not only are they
incredible watch dogs,

590
00:26:46,915 --> 00:26:50,056
but they are amazing house pets.

591
00:26:55,027 --> 00:26:56,752
Dobermanns can
grow to be anywhere

592
00:26:56,753 --> 00:26:59,617
from 24 to 28 inches tall,

593
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:03,897
and weigh between
60 to 100 pounds.

594
00:27:03,898 --> 00:27:06,176
Now that's a big dog.

595
00:27:09,835 --> 00:27:12,284
These good lookers
have a thin, short coat

596
00:27:12,285 --> 00:27:15,011
that ranges in color
from black, to red,

597
00:27:15,012 --> 00:27:17,635
and even blue or
yellowish brown.

598
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:19,878
They all have rusty
colored markings

599
00:27:19,879 --> 00:27:21,639
above their cute little eyes,

600
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,364
on their necks, and of course

601
00:27:23,365 --> 00:27:25,021
on their strong chests.

602
00:27:25,022 --> 00:27:27,403
Sometimes though,
you can even find

603
00:27:27,404 --> 00:27:30,026
a completely white Dobie.

604
00:27:30,027 --> 00:27:32,996
It's rare, but it does happen.

605
00:27:35,619 --> 00:27:38,448
Dobermann Pinschers
have long snouts,

606
00:27:38,449 --> 00:27:41,659
medium sized ears, and
super muscular bodies

607
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:46,042
that end on a mighty long
and usually wagging tail.

608
00:27:46,043 --> 00:27:50,185
Look at their little
backsides wriggle, so cute.

609
00:27:52,809 --> 00:27:54,672
How's that for a fascinating

610
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:57,329
and sometimes
frightening large breed?

611
00:27:57,330 --> 00:27:59,193
That's so cool, Professor.

612
00:27:59,194 --> 00:28:01,023
Do any Dobermanns
take classes here?

613
00:28:01,024 --> 00:28:02,680
We used to have a couple, Mugs,

614
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:03,957
but they couldn't get along

615
00:28:03,958 --> 00:28:05,475
with our Great Dane students.

616
00:28:05,476 --> 00:28:06,476
Great Danes?

617
00:28:07,927 --> 00:28:09,376
Tell us more!

618
00:28:09,377 --> 00:28:11,965
Don't worry, I will.

619
00:28:11,966 --> 00:28:15,347
Ready to meet one of the
greatest dogs in the world?

620
00:28:15,348 --> 00:28:16,763
One that's so great,

621
00:28:16,764 --> 00:28:20,076
it even has the word
great in its name?

622
00:28:20,077 --> 00:28:22,803
Say hello to the Great Dane!

623
00:28:22,804 --> 00:28:25,703
These dogs are as
big as they come.

624
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,532
Great Danes are large animals

625
00:28:27,533 --> 00:28:32,054
that belong to a group of
dogs known as working dogs.

626
00:28:32,055 --> 00:28:35,091
Even though they have the
word Dane in their names,

627
00:28:35,092 --> 00:28:37,818
these dogs are not from Denmark.

628
00:28:37,819 --> 00:28:40,545
Great Danes came to
the world from Germany.

629
00:28:40,546 --> 00:28:42,512
They were created
by dog breeders

630
00:28:42,513 --> 00:28:44,894
over 400 years ago

631
00:28:44,895 --> 00:28:48,380
when they mixed old English
Mastiffs with Greyhounds

632
00:28:48,381 --> 00:28:51,073
and Mighty Irish Wolfhounds.

633
00:28:51,074 --> 00:28:54,559
The result is a
wonderfully fast, smart,

634
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,872
and aggressive dog
that were perfect

635
00:28:56,873 --> 00:29:00,945
for hunting animals
including wild boars.

636
00:29:00,946 --> 00:29:02,568
Whoa.

637
00:29:06,434 --> 00:29:08,849
Over the years since
their creation,

638
00:29:08,850 --> 00:29:11,818
Great Danes have become
far less aggressive,

639
00:29:11,819 --> 00:29:14,648
because they aren't used
for hunting anymore.

640
00:29:14,649 --> 00:29:17,168
Instead, they
prefer to play with

641
00:29:17,169 --> 00:29:18,929
and protect their family.

642
00:29:20,897 --> 00:29:22,898
Great Danes are
awesome house pets,

643
00:29:22,899 --> 00:29:25,764
and are often shown
off in dog shows.

644
00:29:27,489 --> 00:29:30,008
These dogs are big.

645
00:29:30,009 --> 00:29:33,046
Great Danes can grow up
to nearly three feet tall

646
00:29:33,047 --> 00:29:38,052
and weigh anywhere from 100
to well over 120 pounds.

647
00:29:38,673 --> 00:29:39,501
Wanna talk big?

648
00:29:39,502 --> 00:29:40,950
Check this out.

649
00:29:40,951 --> 00:29:43,435
There was once a
Great Dane named Zeus

650
00:29:43,436 --> 00:29:45,196
who became famous for being

651
00:29:45,197 --> 00:29:47,923
the world's tallest dog.

652
00:29:47,924 --> 00:29:49,165
That's right.

653
00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:51,754
Zeus is in the Guinness
Book of World Records

654
00:29:51,755 --> 00:29:55,240
for growing to a height of
three feet, eight inches tall,

655
00:29:55,241 --> 00:29:58,796
and weighing 150 pounds!

656
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:00,799
Now that's a big dog.

657
00:30:02,835 --> 00:30:05,147
Great Danes have
short coats of hair

658
00:30:05,148 --> 00:30:07,321
that come in three
different kinds.

659
00:30:07,322 --> 00:30:10,911
Black, black and blue,
fawn, and harlequin.

660
00:30:10,912 --> 00:30:12,464
No matter what their color,

661
00:30:12,465 --> 00:30:14,673
they're all incredibly
pretty animals,

662
00:30:14,674 --> 00:30:17,332
and are a sight to remember
once you've seen them.

663
00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:22,164
These big pooches
have giant heads

664
00:30:22,165 --> 00:30:23,821
that are long and narrow,

665
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,305
and sitting on top of them

666
00:30:25,306 --> 00:30:27,825
are cute little floppy ears.

667
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,033
Their bodies?

668
00:30:29,034 --> 00:30:32,760
Well, they are as
muscular as they come.

669
00:30:32,761 --> 00:30:34,141
Even though they're large,

670
00:30:34,142 --> 00:30:38,180
Great Dane are also
big, emotional softies.

671
00:30:38,181 --> 00:30:40,872
They're loving and
calm and get along well

672
00:30:40,873 --> 00:30:43,599
with other dogs, and even cats.

673
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,291
Great Danes just want
to love their families,

674
00:30:46,292 --> 00:30:48,880
and they hate to be left alone.

675
00:30:48,881 --> 00:30:49,881
Aw.

676
00:30:52,402 --> 00:30:55,369
Surprisingly, Great
Danes don't eat much,

677
00:30:55,370 --> 00:30:57,716
and don't need much exercise.

678
00:30:57,717 --> 00:30:59,960
Just walk them as
you usually would,

679
00:30:59,961 --> 00:31:02,687
and they'll remain
happy and healthy.

680
00:31:02,688 --> 00:31:04,827
How do you guys
love the Great Dane?

681
00:31:04,828 --> 00:31:06,829
They're amazing, Professor.

682
00:31:06,830 --> 00:31:10,212
I have a Great Dane cousin
somewhere in the Midwest.

683
00:31:10,213 --> 00:31:11,420
Oh, yeah!

684
00:31:11,421 --> 00:31:13,111
Cousin Marlon?

685
00:31:13,112 --> 00:31:14,837
I remember him.

686
00:31:14,838 --> 00:31:16,425
Hey, what's next, Professor?

687
00:31:16,426 --> 00:31:18,876
How about that
super cool terrier?

688
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:21,223
Yes, let's hear it!

689
00:31:21,224 --> 00:31:25,227
The adorable Boston
Terrier is a lot of things.

690
00:31:25,228 --> 00:31:29,300
They're cute, funny,
playful, absolutely loyal,

691
00:31:29,301 --> 00:31:32,027
and no matter what
its name says,

692
00:31:32,028 --> 00:31:33,821
it isn't a terrier.

693
00:31:33,822 --> 00:31:37,240
Let's find out more
about this fuzzy friend.

694
00:31:39,656 --> 00:31:42,037
Boston Terriers were
created when breeders

695
00:31:42,038 --> 00:31:45,385
mixed the English Bulldog
and the now extinct.

696
00:31:45,386 --> 00:31:46,904
White English Terrier.

697
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:49,113
Since its introduction
to the world,

698
00:31:49,114 --> 00:31:52,633
this beauty has become the
state dog of Massachusetts,

699
00:31:52,634 --> 00:31:55,878
the official mascot
of Boston University,

700
00:31:55,879 --> 00:31:59,295
and of course, one of the
most popular dog breeds

701
00:31:59,296 --> 00:32:01,504
in the United States of America.

702
00:32:01,505 --> 00:32:02,505
How about that?

703
00:32:04,060 --> 00:32:06,302
Boston Terriers can
grow up to about

704
00:32:06,303 --> 00:32:08,511
12 to 17 inches tall,

705
00:32:08,512 --> 00:32:12,032
and weigh anywhere
from 10 to 25 pounds.

706
00:32:12,033 --> 00:32:14,000
They have smooth, shiny coats

707
00:32:14,001 --> 00:32:16,554
that come in lots
of colors like red,

708
00:32:16,555 --> 00:32:18,832
black, or even brindle.

709
00:32:18,833 --> 00:32:20,489
No matter what the color though,

710
00:32:20,490 --> 00:32:22,249
they all have white markings

711
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:23,837
on their face and chest.

712
00:32:23,838 --> 00:32:25,115
So cute.

713
00:32:26,875 --> 00:32:29,222
These furry pals
are also known as

714
00:32:29,223 --> 00:32:30,913
the American Gentleman,

715
00:32:30,914 --> 00:32:32,811
because their overall markings

716
00:32:32,812 --> 00:32:36,609
make them look like they're
wearing a fancy tuxedo.

717
00:32:37,438 --> 00:32:39,612
So refined.

718
00:32:45,170 --> 00:32:47,965
Boston Terriers have
box shaped heads,

719
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:50,968
short snouts, large, erect ears,

720
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,971
broad chests, sturdy
muscular bodies,

721
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,973
and very short tails.

722
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:58,872
Know what really makes
them stand out though?

723
00:32:58,873 --> 00:33:02,324
Their huge, loving, round eyes.

724
00:33:02,325 --> 00:33:03,809
Aw.

725
00:33:08,296 --> 00:33:10,849
Boston Terriers are
very loving and gentle

726
00:33:10,850 --> 00:33:13,887
with extremely fun
loving personalities.

727
00:33:13,888 --> 00:33:15,233
They're smart, too.

728
00:33:15,234 --> 00:33:17,097
Super smart, in fact.

729
00:33:17,098 --> 00:33:19,962
But they're also
stubborn at times,

730
00:33:19,963 --> 00:33:21,895
nearly hyperactive even.

731
00:33:21,896 --> 00:33:25,312
It takes a long while to
properly train these cuties,

732
00:33:25,313 --> 00:33:26,727
but once they are,

733
00:33:26,728 --> 00:33:29,697
they're one of the
best dogs around.

734
00:33:32,803 --> 00:33:35,978
Boston Terriers are
real athletes too!

735
00:33:35,979 --> 00:33:38,049
They're agile and can jump high,

736
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:41,535
and even pull weights
in doggy competitions.

737
00:33:41,536 --> 00:33:42,778
See?

738
00:33:42,779 --> 00:33:45,023
I told you they were
strong as can be.

739
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,647
Boston Terriers get
along great with kids

740
00:33:49,648 --> 00:33:50,820
and other animals,

741
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:52,615
and have been
known to even learn

742
00:33:52,616 --> 00:33:55,170
how to ride skateboards.

743
00:33:55,171 --> 00:33:57,103
That's radical!

744
00:33:57,104 --> 00:33:59,174
When the day's
activities are over,

745
00:33:59,175 --> 00:34:02,108
Boston Terriers like to
chill out with their owners,

746
00:34:02,109 --> 00:34:04,939
and maybe even
cuddle up on a couch.

747
00:34:05,974 --> 00:34:07,182
So cool!

748
00:34:07,183 --> 00:34:08,873
What's the next dog
breed, Professor?

749
00:34:08,874 --> 00:34:10,909
The amazing beagle!

750
00:34:10,910 --> 00:34:12,946
Got any beagle cousin, anybody?

751
00:34:12,947 --> 00:34:14,189
Me!

752
00:34:14,190 --> 00:34:17,364
Oh, I have a cousin
in about any breed,

753
00:34:17,365 --> 00:34:18,884
color, and size!

754
00:34:19,850 --> 00:34:22,369
I'm willing to venture to say

755
00:34:22,370 --> 00:34:26,442
that one of your favorite
cartoon characters is Snoopy!

756
00:34:26,443 --> 00:34:28,099
Everyone loves him.

757
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:29,963
Ever wonder what kind of animal

758
00:34:29,964 --> 00:34:31,309
this fellow is?

759
00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:33,449
Well, Snoopy is a beagle,

760
00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:36,419
and they've been around
for thousands of years.

761
00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:42,527
The beagle was created
over 2,500 years ago.

762
00:34:42,528 --> 00:34:44,047
Holy moly.

763
00:34:45,945 --> 00:34:48,844
This ancient dog breed
came to the United States

764
00:34:48,845 --> 00:34:51,882
from the country of England
during the 19th century.

765
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,713
These beauties were
bred to be great hunters

766
00:34:55,714 --> 00:35:00,442
of rabbits, hares, foxes,
and even birds and fish.

767
00:35:00,443 --> 00:35:01,960
Wow!

768
00:35:01,961 --> 00:35:05,171
In fact, the beagle is still
very popular with hunters,

769
00:35:05,172 --> 00:35:07,069
and they're still used as good

770
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:09,107
and dependable hunting dogs.

771
00:35:10,660 --> 00:35:14,041
Beagles have super
friendly personalities too.

772
00:35:14,042 --> 00:35:16,527
They're medium-sized
animals that can grow

773
00:35:16,528 --> 00:35:19,461
anywhere from 13
to 16 inches tall,

774
00:35:19,462 --> 00:35:21,946
and a full grown beagle
will weigh around

775
00:35:21,947 --> 00:35:24,467
20 to 25 pounds.

776
00:35:25,985 --> 00:35:28,297
Everyone agrees on one thing.

777
00:35:28,298 --> 00:35:30,506
Beagles are awesome.

778
00:35:30,507 --> 00:35:33,613
In fact, they just happen
to be the fifth most

779
00:35:33,614 --> 00:35:36,650
popular dog breed in
the United States.

780
00:35:36,651 --> 00:35:38,032
How cool is that?

781
00:35:40,759 --> 00:35:43,450
You can spot a
beagle super easily.

782
00:35:43,451 --> 00:35:45,314
They have really smooth coats

783
00:35:45,315 --> 00:35:48,317
that range from white,
to black, to brown,

784
00:35:48,318 --> 00:35:49,974
and a mixture thereof.

785
00:35:49,975 --> 00:35:52,218
They have cute,
little round skulls

786
00:35:52,219 --> 00:35:54,944
and long, super floppy ears.

787
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:57,430
Their bodies are long,
and pretty muscular

788
00:35:57,431 --> 00:35:59,121
for a dog of its size,

789
00:35:59,122 --> 00:36:02,193
and they have the sweetest
little curly tails.

790
00:36:02,194 --> 00:36:06,473
And don't be surprised to
see them wagging like crazy.

791
00:36:06,474 --> 00:36:09,305
They're so easy to
fall in love with.

792
00:36:11,790 --> 00:36:15,758
Like Snoopy, beagles are
super smart and curious.

793
00:36:15,759 --> 00:36:18,209
They're very friendly
dogs who love

794
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:20,556
going on adventures
with their owners.

795
00:36:20,557 --> 00:36:24,526
Also like Snoopy, beagles are
comically stubborn animals

796
00:36:24,527 --> 00:36:28,186
who are anything
but easy to train.

797
00:36:32,155 --> 00:36:35,330
Still in all, they are
very loyal to their owners,

798
00:36:35,331 --> 00:36:37,332
and that's part of
why they've become

799
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:39,783
so very popular.

800
00:36:46,549 --> 00:36:49,206
Beagles do have a
tendency to get lonely,

801
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:50,655
as they're a pack animal,

802
00:36:50,656 --> 00:36:52,864
and they hate being left alone.

803
00:36:52,865 --> 00:36:55,004
They actually like
having other dogs

804
00:36:55,005 --> 00:36:56,730
to pal around with too.

805
00:36:56,731 --> 00:36:59,216
There's always time
to play and get into

806
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,219
a little mischief, right?

807
00:37:02,081 --> 00:37:04,118
Nice!

808
00:37:05,982 --> 00:37:07,983
What are we tackling next?

809
00:37:07,984 --> 00:37:10,054
Now I'm going to
tell you all about

810
00:37:10,055 --> 00:37:12,263
the dogs known as Basset Hounds.

811
00:37:12,264 --> 00:37:13,713
Basset Hounds?

812
00:37:13,714 --> 00:37:14,783
Cool!

813
00:37:14,784 --> 00:37:16,233
Indeed, Mugs.

814
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,338
Let's begin!

815
00:37:18,339 --> 00:37:20,927
Hope you have your
traveling shoes on,

816
00:37:20,928 --> 00:37:24,517
we're gonna have to travel
all the way to France

817
00:37:24,518 --> 00:37:26,967
to meet our next furry friend!

818
00:37:26,968 --> 00:37:28,384
The Basset Hound!

819
00:37:29,730 --> 00:37:31,834
Basset Hounds were
developed and bred

820
00:37:31,835 --> 00:37:34,251
all the way back
in the 16th century

821
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,942
by French monks.

822
00:37:35,943 --> 00:37:38,324
These monks wanted
a dog whose bodies

823
00:37:38,325 --> 00:37:39,946
would be close to the ground

824
00:37:39,947 --> 00:37:42,362
so they could easily
pick up on the scents

825
00:37:42,363 --> 00:37:45,366
of other animals,
both big and small.

826
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,508
They may be short,
but Basset Hounds

827
00:37:50,509 --> 00:37:51,785
are kind of heavy,

828
00:37:51,786 --> 00:37:55,272
standing at only about
11 to 15 inches tall,

829
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,722
this beast can end
up weighing anywhere

830
00:37:57,723 --> 00:38:01,174
from 50 to 65 pounds.

831
00:38:01,175 --> 00:38:03,591
Now that's a sideways
fire hydrant.

832
00:38:04,868 --> 00:38:06,800
How did they get their names?

833
00:38:06,801 --> 00:38:08,285
Well, I'm glad you asked.

834
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:10,770
I told you already
that the Basset Hound

835
00:38:10,771 --> 00:38:12,979
originally came from France,

836
00:38:12,980 --> 00:38:15,188
so it makes sense
that their names

837
00:38:15,189 --> 00:38:17,294
came from the French language.

838
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,917
Basset comes from the word "bas"

839
00:38:19,918 --> 00:38:22,264
that means low in French.

840
00:38:22,265 --> 00:38:23,922
How about that?

841
00:38:29,099 --> 00:38:31,894
Even though Basset Hounds
make great hunters,

842
00:38:31,895 --> 00:38:35,001
they're also so cute and sweet.

843
00:38:35,002 --> 00:38:37,210
These guys look kind of sad,

844
00:38:37,211 --> 00:38:39,143
but they're totally not.

845
00:38:39,144 --> 00:38:42,457
It's those deep set in
face with loose skin

846
00:38:42,458 --> 00:38:44,907
and wrinkles that make
them look that way.

847
00:38:44,908 --> 00:38:47,220
They're actually
very happy animals

848
00:38:47,221 --> 00:38:49,291
with super cute, long ears,

849
00:38:49,292 --> 00:38:52,915
a very long body, and
stubby, short little legs

850
00:38:52,916 --> 00:38:55,159
with really big paws on 'em.

851
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,472
Take all that, and add in a tail

852
00:38:57,473 --> 00:38:59,612
that sticks straight
up on their body,

853
00:38:59,613 --> 00:39:03,029
and you have the
recipe for adorable.

854
00:39:03,030 --> 00:39:06,101
Well, adorable and loud.

855
00:39:06,102 --> 00:39:09,829
Basset Hounds bark
and howl a whole lot.

856
00:39:09,830 --> 00:39:12,141
In fact, that's part
of how the Basset Hound

857
00:39:12,142 --> 00:39:13,453
got so famous.

858
00:39:13,454 --> 00:39:16,111
A long time ago in
the southern U.S.,

859
00:39:16,112 --> 00:39:18,941
hunters and other
owners of Basset Hounds

860
00:39:18,942 --> 00:39:22,428
would feed their dogs easy
to make fried cornballs

861
00:39:22,429 --> 00:39:24,533
to quiet their barking buddies.

862
00:39:24,534 --> 00:39:28,365
These treats eventually
became known as hush puppies,

863
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,884
and now they're people treats!

864
00:39:30,885 --> 00:39:32,577
Isn't that funny?

865
00:39:37,202 --> 00:39:40,204
Over the years, Basset
Hounds became very popular

866
00:39:40,205 --> 00:39:42,309
and they're features
in lots of movies,

867
00:39:42,310 --> 00:39:45,485
advertisements,
and even cartoons.

868
00:39:45,486 --> 00:39:47,832
They're so famous
that they even have

869
00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:52,043
a brand of shoes named after
them called Hush Puppies.

870
00:39:52,044 --> 00:39:55,495
In fact, Basset Hounds are
still the official mascot

871
00:39:55,496 --> 00:39:58,291
of this popular, comfy shoe.

872
00:39:58,292 --> 00:39:59,327
How neat.

873
00:40:01,088 --> 00:40:02,709
Great!

874
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:04,297
Bassets are so fun.

875
00:40:04,298 --> 00:40:06,644
Who loves bulldogs?

876
00:40:06,645 --> 00:40:07,887
Me!

877
00:40:07,888 --> 00:40:10,476
Did I ever tell you guys
my cousin Tricks and...

878
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:11,511
Let me guess.

879
00:40:11,512 --> 00:40:13,582
Cousin Tricks is a bulldog?

880
00:40:13,583 --> 00:40:14,928
Yup!

881
00:40:14,929 --> 00:40:17,759
What's a friendly
dog that snores a lot

882
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,139
while farting?

883
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:20,831
Wanna meet that fella?

884
00:40:20,832 --> 00:40:23,281
I'm sure you do.

885
00:40:23,282 --> 00:40:25,698
We're talking about
a bold little dog

886
00:40:25,699 --> 00:40:27,908
known as the bulldog!

887
00:40:29,219 --> 00:40:32,049
Bulldogs are great
medium-sized companion dogs

888
00:40:32,050 --> 00:40:35,397
that were created way
back in the 16th century

889
00:40:35,398 --> 00:40:38,538
when dog breeders mixed
Mastiffs and pugs.

890
00:40:38,539 --> 00:40:41,127
The result of that
mixing is adorable

891
00:40:41,128 --> 00:40:42,681
in every way.

892
00:40:44,303 --> 00:40:47,478
Bulldogs have sort of
an unusual look to them,

893
00:40:47,479 --> 00:40:50,205
and because of that,
you can always find them

894
00:40:50,206 --> 00:40:52,276
in movies and on TV.

895
00:40:52,277 --> 00:40:55,521
In fact, they're one of
the most popular dogs

896
00:40:55,522 --> 00:40:57,765
in the whole wide world.

897
00:40:59,215 --> 00:41:02,838
A bulldog can grow to be
about 12 to 16 inches tall,

898
00:41:02,839 --> 00:41:06,014
weighing in around
40 to 50 pounds.

899
00:41:06,015 --> 00:41:08,776
That's pretty heavy
for such a small pooch.

900
00:41:10,364 --> 00:41:12,192
They have short, smooth coats

901
00:41:12,193 --> 00:41:14,229
that come in lots of varieties,

902
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:16,334
but it's their cute little faces

903
00:41:16,335 --> 00:41:19,166
that make them so good looking.

904
00:41:20,926 --> 00:41:25,033
Bulldogs have wide
jaws and short snouts.

905
00:41:25,034 --> 00:41:28,381
The skin on their faces
looks wrinkled and loose,

906
00:41:28,382 --> 00:41:30,141
and the teeth on
their lower jaws

907
00:41:30,142 --> 00:41:32,937
stick out over their top jaws.

908
00:41:32,938 --> 00:41:35,250
They have big,
muscular shoulders,

909
00:41:35,251 --> 00:41:37,528
short bodies, powerful legs,

910
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:40,013
and tiny little tails.

911
00:41:40,014 --> 00:41:41,014
Aw.

912
00:41:42,983 --> 00:41:45,398
If you couldn't guess
by looking at them,

913
00:41:45,399 --> 00:41:47,987
bulldogs can be super stubborn.

914
00:41:47,988 --> 00:41:51,404
But with proper training,
they can be very obedient,

915
00:41:51,405 --> 00:41:54,063
and also become great athletes.

916
00:41:55,823 --> 00:41:59,481
Though they are hardheaded,
bulldogs are also smart,

917
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:03,382
and become friendly animals
that are perfect for families.

918
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:06,488
Yes, bulldogs look heavy,

919
00:42:06,489 --> 00:42:09,249
but they're also
pretty quick and agile.

920
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:13,046
An adult bulldog can run
up to 15 miles per hour

921
00:42:13,047 --> 00:42:16,636
and even jump about
seven feet in the air!

922
00:42:16,637 --> 00:42:17,741
Whoa!

923
00:42:17,742 --> 00:42:20,260
Can you say "Air Bulldog"?

924
00:42:20,261 --> 00:42:23,125
They'd rather stay in the
air, or on the ground,

925
00:42:23,126 --> 00:42:26,612
because these dogs
are not good swimmers.

926
00:42:26,613 --> 00:42:31,134
So if you have a pool, just
remember that little tidbit.

927
00:42:32,515 --> 00:42:33,998
Are dachshunds next?

928
00:42:33,999 --> 00:42:35,241
Yes they are!

929
00:42:35,242 --> 00:42:36,380
How did you know?

930
00:42:36,381 --> 00:42:39,556
K-9 intuition!

931
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:42,282
Hot diggity dog!

932
00:42:42,283 --> 00:42:45,735
Our next barking buddy
is a real wiener.

933
00:42:46,978 --> 00:42:48,357
Get ready to meet the
cute little critter

934
00:42:48,358 --> 00:42:50,119
known as the dachshund!

935
00:42:51,776 --> 00:42:54,709
Dachshunds just happen
to be the 11th most

936
00:42:54,710 --> 00:42:57,677
popular breed of doggy
in the United States,

937
00:42:57,678 --> 00:43:00,507
and it's super easy to see why.

938
00:43:00,508 --> 00:43:03,787
They are adorable.

939
00:43:03,788 --> 00:43:06,617
Dachshunds grow to be
about nine inches tall,

940
00:43:06,618 --> 00:43:10,517
and can weigh in anywhere
from 15 to 30 pounds.

941
00:43:10,518 --> 00:43:13,555
Mini dachshunds
usually weigh about 11.

942
00:43:13,556 --> 00:43:15,351
Such cutie pies.

943
00:43:16,524 --> 00:43:18,733
Dachshunds are super
popular for being

944
00:43:18,734 --> 00:43:20,597
what's known as a wiener dog

945
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,599
because of their
short, stubby legs

946
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,497
and their long bodies.

947
00:43:24,498 --> 00:43:26,430
They have two types of coats,

948
00:43:26,431 --> 00:43:29,122
either smooth, or long and wiry.

949
00:43:29,123 --> 00:43:31,297
Even cooler though, they come in

950
00:43:31,298 --> 00:43:33,610
at a whopping 12 colors,

951
00:43:33,611 --> 00:43:35,473
and at least different patterns

952
00:43:35,474 --> 00:43:38,581
like sable, brindle, or mottled.

953
00:43:45,105 --> 00:43:47,071
Dachshunds have
long heads to match

954
00:43:47,072 --> 00:43:48,935
their long, muscular bodies,

955
00:43:48,936 --> 00:43:51,628
and are complete
with a long tail.

956
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:54,631
They have beautiful
eyes and floppy ears

957
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:56,909
hanging off their little faces.

958
00:43:56,910 --> 00:43:58,566
How darling is that?

959
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:04,364
The name dachshund actually
means "badger dog" in German.

960
00:44:04,365 --> 00:44:05,711
Why?

961
00:44:05,712 --> 00:44:07,782
Because of their
incredible sense of smell,

962
00:44:07,783 --> 00:44:10,060
dachshunds were used
to hunt badgers,

963
00:44:10,061 --> 00:44:11,820
foxes, and rabbits.

964
00:44:11,821 --> 00:44:14,029
Their tiny legs were
made for digging,

965
00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:16,687
so they could get their
prizes either above

966
00:44:16,688 --> 00:44:18,655
or below ground.

967
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:20,174
How about that?

968
00:44:22,625 --> 00:44:25,765
Dachshunds are known
to be very brave,

969
00:44:25,766 --> 00:44:28,319
they're also smart
and energetic animals

970
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,875
that have a habit of being
pretty darn stubborn.

971
00:44:31,876 --> 00:44:33,600
Instead of listening to you,

972
00:44:33,601 --> 00:44:35,913
they would rather be
chasing other animals

973
00:44:35,914 --> 00:44:37,604
or even birds.

974
00:44:37,605 --> 00:44:39,952
In a pinch, a nice, fun toy

975
00:44:39,953 --> 00:44:41,955
will keep them very occupied.

976
00:44:43,094 --> 00:44:44,715
They may be tough to teach,

977
00:44:44,716 --> 00:44:48,270
but holy cow, are they loving.

978
00:44:48,271 --> 00:44:49,893
Dachshunds have
been known to bond

979
00:44:49,894 --> 00:44:52,585
with their human
families super quick,

980
00:44:52,586 --> 00:44:54,380
and they always
want to be a part

981
00:44:54,381 --> 00:44:56,589
of whatever is going on.

982
00:44:56,590 --> 00:44:59,765
They're just all
around fun play-mates.

983
00:44:59,766 --> 00:45:01,836
Hooray for that!

984
00:45:01,837 --> 00:45:03,285
I had a play-mate
who was a dachshund

985
00:45:03,286 --> 00:45:05,632
when I used to go to
doggy daycare as a puppy.

986
00:45:05,633 --> 00:45:06,737
Yeah?

987
00:45:06,738 --> 00:45:07,911
Did you like him?

988
00:45:07,912 --> 00:45:10,637
Nah, he was annoying
as all get out.

989
00:45:10,638 --> 00:45:12,122
I can see that!

990
00:45:12,123 --> 00:45:15,781
How about the Dalmatian,
Professor Fetch?

991
00:45:15,782 --> 00:45:19,888
I'd guess you have
at least 101 reasons

992
00:45:19,889 --> 00:45:23,409
to love our next dog
breed, the Dalmatian!

993
00:45:23,410 --> 00:45:25,411
Not only are they superstars,

994
00:45:25,412 --> 00:45:28,034
but they're also some
of the bravest dogs

995
00:45:28,035 --> 00:45:30,313
in the whole wide world!

996
00:45:31,452 --> 00:45:34,316
Dalmatians are also
known as "dau".

997
00:45:34,317 --> 00:45:36,077
They're an ancient
breed of pooch,

998
00:45:36,078 --> 00:45:39,356
but no one seems to know
exactly where they came from,

999
00:45:39,357 --> 00:45:40,530
it's a mystery.

1000
00:45:41,566 --> 00:45:43,705
Breeders and
researches all believe

1001
00:45:43,706 --> 00:45:46,225
that these wonderful
dogs came to the world

1002
00:45:46,226 --> 00:45:48,745
from the Dalmatia
area of Croatia.

1003
00:45:48,746 --> 00:45:52,508
Given the name, that
makes perfect sense!

1004
00:46:00,033 --> 00:46:01,550
Wanna know something cool?

1005
00:46:01,551 --> 00:46:02,793
Of course you do!

1006
00:46:02,794 --> 00:46:05,278
Archeologists have
even uncovered

1007
00:46:05,279 --> 00:46:06,693
pictures of Dalmatians

1008
00:46:06,694 --> 00:46:09,835
on the walls of
Ancient Egyptian tombs,

1009
00:46:09,836 --> 00:46:12,354
and that means that
ancient Dalmatians

1010
00:46:12,355 --> 00:46:14,563
even scampered around Egypt!

1011
00:46:14,564 --> 00:46:17,222
Whoa, now that's amazing.

1012
00:46:19,949 --> 00:46:23,227
Today, Dalmatians are
used as popular house pets

1013
00:46:23,228 --> 00:46:25,402
and also as rescue dogs.

1014
00:46:25,403 --> 00:46:27,645
For a long while,
they were even known

1015
00:46:27,646 --> 00:46:29,855
as carriage dogs
because they have a

1016
00:46:29,856 --> 00:46:32,823
super friendly
relationship with horses.

1017
00:46:32,824 --> 00:46:35,101
For many years, horses were used

1018
00:46:35,102 --> 00:46:37,414
to help speed along
fire carriages,

1019
00:46:37,415 --> 00:46:40,451
and the Dalmatians
have a cool ability

1020
00:46:40,452 --> 00:46:43,627
to keep horses
calm around fires.

1021
00:46:43,628 --> 00:46:45,767
So, for the longest time,

1022
00:46:45,768 --> 00:46:47,527
they've been
traveling with firemen

1023
00:46:47,528 --> 00:46:51,014
and other heroes to help
get people out of danger.

1024
00:46:51,015 --> 00:46:52,637
Talk about brave.

1025
00:46:53,776 --> 00:46:55,881
A Dalmatian can
grow to be anywhere

1026
00:46:55,882 --> 00:46:58,504
from 19 to 23 inches tall,

1027
00:46:58,505 --> 00:47:01,714
weighing in around
40 to 70 pounds.

1028
00:47:01,715 --> 00:47:03,992
They have really
short, smooth hair,

1029
00:47:03,993 --> 00:47:06,926
and are usually white
with black spots on them.

1030
00:47:06,927 --> 00:47:09,308
Every Dalmatian has
a unique pattern,

1031
00:47:09,309 --> 00:47:12,276
and no two Dalmatians
look alike.

1032
00:47:12,277 --> 00:47:13,589
Now that's interesting.

1033
00:47:16,109 --> 00:47:19,836
These superhero dogs have
large, muscular bodies,

1034
00:47:19,837 --> 00:47:22,286
thin ears, and super long legs

1035
00:47:22,287 --> 00:47:24,151
with cute, round little feet.

1036
00:47:25,187 --> 00:47:26,808
These dudes can run for hours

1037
00:47:26,809 --> 00:47:27,913
without getting tired,

1038
00:47:27,914 --> 00:47:29,984
and during the Second World War,

1039
00:47:29,985 --> 00:47:32,400
they were used to
send secret messages

1040
00:47:32,401 --> 00:47:34,609
back and forth between troops.

1041
00:47:34,610 --> 00:47:38,406
They truly were like
the first animal spies.

1042
00:47:38,407 --> 00:47:39,995
Now that's impressive!

1043
00:47:41,410 --> 00:47:43,480
Dalmatians love to
play in the water,

1044
00:47:43,481 --> 00:47:45,585
and are very good swimmers.

1045
00:47:45,586 --> 00:47:47,518
They require a lot
of training though

1046
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:50,625
because they're also
very independent animals

1047
00:47:50,626 --> 00:47:52,904
who make awesome guard dogs.

1048
00:47:53,974 --> 00:47:55,043
Wow!

1049
00:47:55,044 --> 00:47:58,012
Dalmatians are so interesting!

1050
00:47:58,013 --> 00:47:59,841
There's no other
dog quite like 'em.

1051
00:47:59,842 --> 00:48:01,878
Same goes for the pug.

1052
00:48:01,879 --> 00:48:03,776
Did you know it's
easier on the pug

1053
00:48:03,777 --> 00:48:05,398
to raise two pugs together?

1054
00:48:05,399 --> 00:48:07,400
I didn't know that, Professor.

1055
00:48:07,401 --> 00:48:09,333
What else do you
know about the pug?

1056
00:48:09,334 --> 00:48:10,679
Let's find out!

1057
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,441
It's time to get cute.

1058
00:48:13,442 --> 00:48:16,893
Our next kind of dog is
as cute as they come.

1059
00:48:16,894 --> 00:48:19,378
Get ready to meet the pug!

1060
00:48:19,379 --> 00:48:21,380
A small, toy-sized
animal that is

1061
00:48:21,381 --> 00:48:24,936
one of the best companion
dogs you could ever have.

1062
00:48:26,627 --> 00:48:29,836
Pugs were bred about
200 years B.C. in China,

1063
00:48:29,837 --> 00:48:32,115
and specifically
for the Emperor,

1064
00:48:32,116 --> 00:48:34,807
who wanted the perfect lap dog.

1065
00:48:34,808 --> 00:48:36,671
How's that for important?

1066
00:48:36,672 --> 00:48:39,399
Pug were created to be royalty.

1067
00:48:40,779 --> 00:48:43,920
Pugs made their way to
Europe in the 16th century,

1068
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:47,302
and became a very
popular breed of dog.

1069
00:48:47,303 --> 00:48:49,580
Now, you can find
these little guys

1070
00:48:49,581 --> 00:48:51,618
all over the world.

1071
00:48:52,999 --> 00:48:55,345
Because they're so
small and friendly,

1072
00:48:55,346 --> 00:48:59,004
they make for great pals
for just about anyone.

1073
00:48:59,005 --> 00:49:02,352
No matter how old or young!

1074
00:49:02,353 --> 00:49:04,699
These little dudes and
dudettes grow to be

1075
00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:06,666
about 14 inches tall,

1076
00:49:06,667 --> 00:49:09,946
and weigh in around
14 to 18 pounds.

1077
00:49:09,947 --> 00:49:11,706
They have really short hair,

1078
00:49:11,707 --> 00:49:13,363
and can vary in color,

1079
00:49:13,364 --> 00:49:16,918
but their cute little
noses are always black.

1080
00:49:16,919 --> 00:49:19,162
So adorable!

1081
00:49:19,163 --> 00:49:21,785
Speaking of their
faces, pugs always look

1082
00:49:21,786 --> 00:49:24,374
like they've been
squished in and wrinkled.

1083
00:49:24,375 --> 00:49:28,067
This makes their big eyes
all the more lovable.

1084
00:49:28,068 --> 00:49:30,794
They're known for
their adorable faces,

1085
00:49:30,795 --> 00:49:35,109
short little legs,
and tiny, curly tails.

1086
00:49:35,110 --> 00:49:36,834
How cute is that?

1087
00:49:36,835 --> 00:49:38,767
Make some room in your bed,

1088
00:49:38,768 --> 00:49:43,013
pugs enjoy this one thing
more than anything else.

1089
00:49:43,014 --> 00:49:44,497
Sleeping.

1090
00:49:44,498 --> 00:49:46,499
They get tired super easily,

1091
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:51,090
and will sleep around
14 hours every day.

1092
00:49:51,091 --> 00:49:53,403
Don't expect them
to bring that stick,

1093
00:49:53,404 --> 00:49:56,026
ball, or bone back anytime soon,

1094
00:49:56,027 --> 00:49:58,684
they don't really
like to play fetch,

1095
00:49:58,685 --> 00:50:00,997
and are actually hard to train

1096
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:03,137
because they're so stubborn.

1097
00:50:03,138 --> 00:50:05,518
Pugs would rather
just eat, sleep,

1098
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:08,004
love you, sleep some more, poop,

1099
00:50:08,005 --> 00:50:11,455
sleep, kiss you, and
then sleep some more,

1100
00:50:11,456 --> 00:50:13,320
more than anything else!

1101
00:50:14,528 --> 00:50:17,116
They can run about three
to seven miles per hour,

1102
00:50:17,117 --> 00:50:18,945
and for a four legged animal,

1103
00:50:18,946 --> 00:50:21,948
they're notoriously
bad swimmers.

1104
00:50:21,949 --> 00:50:23,916
They may be small animals,

1105
00:50:23,917 --> 00:50:26,747
but pugs have huge
personalities.

1106
00:50:28,163 --> 00:50:32,235
When they are awake, pugs
are super playful and loyal.

1107
00:50:32,236 --> 00:50:34,099
They're very
interested in people,

1108
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:36,929
and will often follow their
owners around the house

1109
00:50:36,930 --> 00:50:40,277
to always be near them and
see what they're doing.

1110
00:50:40,278 --> 00:50:42,486
Pugs also love to lay in laps,

1111
00:50:42,487 --> 00:50:44,557
and sleep with
their human owners

1112
00:50:44,558 --> 00:50:47,043
as much as possible.

1113
00:50:47,044 --> 00:50:48,113
Aw!

1114
00:50:48,114 --> 00:50:50,598
Incredible, Professor Fetch.

1115
00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:53,152
We're learning so much
in such a short time.

1116
00:50:53,153 --> 00:50:55,500
It feels like my
brain might burst.

1117
00:50:56,743 --> 00:50:59,124
I don't think your
brains can burst, Mugs,

1118
00:50:59,125 --> 00:51:00,711
but they might get bigger,

1119
00:51:00,712 --> 00:51:02,058
and we're not done yet.

1120
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:03,094
Bring it on!

1121
00:51:04,061 --> 00:51:05,061
Oh my!

1122
00:51:06,063 --> 00:51:07,925
You'd better have
a pillow ready,

1123
00:51:07,926 --> 00:51:10,307
because by the time
I'm done telling you

1124
00:51:10,308 --> 00:51:13,172
about the Energizer
Bunny of the dog world,

1125
00:51:13,173 --> 00:51:14,863
the Jack Russell Terrier,

1126
00:51:14,864 --> 00:51:18,834
I can almost guarantee
you're gonna need some rest.

1127
00:51:20,594 --> 00:51:24,114
Jack Russell Terriers were
created in jolly old England

1128
00:51:24,115 --> 00:51:27,117
at the very beginning
of the 19th century.

1129
00:51:27,118 --> 00:51:29,430
These cuties are
the direct relatives

1130
00:51:29,431 --> 00:51:33,193
of what is now known as the
extinct British White Terrier.

1131
00:51:34,505 --> 00:51:37,093
Jack Russells are
incredible hunters,

1132
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:39,302
but nowadays people
usually keep them

1133
00:51:39,303 --> 00:51:40,994
as companion dogs.

1134
00:51:42,651 --> 00:51:45,135
If there's one thing
that Jack Russells

1135
00:51:45,136 --> 00:51:46,481
do better than hunt,

1136
00:51:46,482 --> 00:51:48,553
it's be great friends.

1137
00:51:50,107 --> 00:51:52,142
The Jack Russell
Terrier can grow to be

1138
00:51:52,143 --> 00:51:54,696
anywhere from 10
to 15 inches tall,

1139
00:51:54,697 --> 00:51:58,597
and usually weighs
around 14 to 18 pounds.

1140
00:51:58,598 --> 00:52:00,461
They generally have white coats

1141
00:52:00,462 --> 00:52:02,428
with black and tan markings,

1142
00:52:02,429 --> 00:52:05,294
but sometimes can just
be white and brown.

1143
00:52:06,985 --> 00:52:08,469
Speaking of their fur,

1144
00:52:08,470 --> 00:52:11,437
Jack Russells have
three kinds of coats.

1145
00:52:11,438 --> 00:52:14,199
Short and smooth,
long and rough,

1146
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,477
or a combination of both.

1147
00:52:16,478 --> 00:52:19,549
They have little eyes that
are shaped like almonds,

1148
00:52:19,550 --> 00:52:21,516
tiny, triangular ears,

1149
00:52:21,517 --> 00:52:24,865
and small but sturdy bodies.

1150
00:52:29,698 --> 00:52:33,218
And my goodness, is the
Jack Russell active.

1151
00:52:33,219 --> 00:52:36,048
You can even call
them hyperactive!

1152
00:52:36,049 --> 00:52:39,396
They just keep going,
and going, and going,

1153
00:52:39,397 --> 00:52:41,674
and going, and going.

1154
00:52:41,675 --> 00:52:43,331
They love playing with balls,

1155
00:52:43,332 --> 00:52:44,436
digging in the dirt,

1156
00:52:44,437 --> 00:52:46,300
and of course, exploring.

1157
00:52:46,301 --> 00:52:48,992
You have to teach them
at a very young age

1158
00:52:48,993 --> 00:52:50,269
how to be calm,

1159
00:52:50,270 --> 00:52:53,617
or you'll own a friendly
four-legged comet

1160
00:52:53,618 --> 00:52:56,689
that speeds around your
house insanely happy

1161
00:52:56,690 --> 00:52:58,726
for the rest of its life.

1162
00:52:58,727 --> 00:52:59,727
How about that?

1163
00:53:01,626 --> 00:53:03,903
Because they enjoy
running so much,

1164
00:53:03,904 --> 00:53:07,286
the Jack Russell Terrier
needs a lot of space.

1165
00:53:07,287 --> 00:53:09,461
These little poaches
need big houses

1166
00:53:09,462 --> 00:53:12,153
and big backyards to run around.

1167
00:53:12,154 --> 00:53:14,845
That's probably the only
thing that will make them

1168
00:53:14,846 --> 00:53:18,849
tired enough to sit still
for even five minutes.

1169
00:53:18,850 --> 00:53:20,403
Zoom!

1170
00:53:20,404 --> 00:53:24,200
Jacks, so playful, so smart.

1171
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:26,478
Same goes for poodles, guys.

1172
00:53:26,479 --> 00:53:27,928
Oh, poodles!

1173
00:53:30,207 --> 00:53:32,311
So fluffy too.

1174
00:53:32,312 --> 00:53:35,280
Time to check in
with a cuddly dog

1175
00:53:35,281 --> 00:53:37,868
who's super famous
for having one of the

1176
00:53:37,869 --> 00:53:42,218
coolest and most recognizable
haircuts in the world.

1177
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:44,704
Say hello to the poodle!

1178
00:53:48,432 --> 00:53:50,640
The poodles as we
know them today

1179
00:53:50,641 --> 00:53:54,816
were created in Germany during
the 15th or 16th century,

1180
00:53:54,817 --> 00:53:58,337
and they were originally
used for hunting birds

1181
00:53:58,338 --> 00:54:01,444
who hung out and made
their nests around water.

1182
00:54:01,445 --> 00:54:05,862
Then, very quickly, they
became super popular in Europe,

1183
00:54:05,863 --> 00:54:08,347
especially when it
came to royalty.

1184
00:54:08,348 --> 00:54:09,728
Well, could you blame them?

1185
00:54:09,729 --> 00:54:12,214
Who wouldn't want to
cuddle with a poodle?

1186
00:54:15,044 --> 00:54:19,185
To this day, poodles are
still very popular house pets.

1187
00:54:19,186 --> 00:54:21,809
Not only are their
appearances charming,

1188
00:54:21,810 --> 00:54:24,191
but so are their personalities.

1189
00:54:25,503 --> 00:54:28,574
There are three kinds
of poodles, standard,

1190
00:54:28,575 --> 00:54:31,439
miniature, and even toy poodles

1191
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,890
which are super small!

1192
00:54:33,891 --> 00:54:36,168
A standard poodle
will grow anywhere

1193
00:54:36,169 --> 00:54:38,446
from 11 to 22 inches tall,

1194
00:54:38,447 --> 00:54:41,036
and weigh around 60 pounds.

1195
00:54:42,451 --> 00:54:45,246
Poodles have fluffy coats
that come in lots of colors

1196
00:54:45,247 --> 00:54:47,835
from black to blue,
red to silver,

1197
00:54:47,836 --> 00:54:50,044
and even beige and white.

1198
00:54:50,045 --> 00:54:53,116
They have cute, round
heads with long noses,

1199
00:54:53,117 --> 00:54:54,980
cute oval shaped peepers,

1200
00:54:54,981 --> 00:54:57,258
and long, flat ears.

1201
00:54:57,259 --> 00:55:00,296
Their tails are also
pretty noticeable too,

1202
00:55:00,297 --> 00:55:03,160
as they stand straight up high.

1203
00:55:03,161 --> 00:55:04,508
How cute is that?

1204
00:55:06,095 --> 00:55:09,995
And get this,
poodles are so smart.

1205
00:55:09,996 --> 00:55:13,930
In fact, poodles are the second
smartest dog on the planet,

1206
00:55:13,931 --> 00:55:16,415
right next to the Border Collie.

1207
00:55:16,416 --> 00:55:17,623
Whoa!

1208
00:55:17,624 --> 00:55:20,212
They are really,
really easy to train,

1209
00:55:20,213 --> 00:55:22,766
and learn tricks super fast.

1210
00:55:22,767 --> 00:55:25,010
Because they do learn
tricks so quickly,

1211
00:55:25,011 --> 00:55:28,324
they were a staple in
circus acts of yesteryear.

1212
00:55:28,325 --> 00:55:30,843
They can perform anything,

1213
00:55:30,844 --> 00:55:33,847
even dancing around on two legs.

1214
00:55:38,507 --> 00:55:40,715
Poodles are super loving animals

1215
00:55:40,716 --> 00:55:43,236
and adore kids and other pets.

1216
00:55:45,031 --> 00:55:46,963
They're also very loud.

1217
00:55:46,964 --> 00:55:50,484
If you have a guest or
someone comes to your door,

1218
00:55:50,485 --> 00:55:52,934
they're going to
tell you about it.

1219
00:55:52,935 --> 00:55:55,351
They're loud but never mean.

1220
00:55:55,352 --> 00:55:57,249
They are as sweet as could be,

1221
00:55:57,250 --> 00:55:59,734
and that makes them
perfect therapy dogs

1222
00:55:59,735 --> 00:56:03,359
for people with handicaps,
or of course, the elderly.

1223
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,740
How sweet.

1224
00:56:07,571 --> 00:56:09,779
The Maltese is pretty cool too!

1225
00:56:09,780 --> 00:56:12,022
I've always wanted to know
more about those dogs.

1226
00:56:12,023 --> 00:56:14,128
Well, here's your chance, Mugs.

1227
00:56:14,129 --> 00:56:17,096
But be prepared for
high levels of cuteness.

1228
00:56:17,097 --> 00:56:18,546
Let's check them out.

1229
00:56:18,547 --> 00:56:19,547
All right!

1230
00:56:19,548 --> 00:56:22,585
Get ready to bow wow wow,

1231
00:56:22,586 --> 00:56:26,520
because we're going to
learn about pooch royalty.

1232
00:56:26,521 --> 00:56:28,798
Here's one of the
favorite dog breeds

1233
00:56:28,799 --> 00:56:31,352
of the wealthy folks
in the Mediterranean,

1234
00:56:31,353 --> 00:56:32,699
the Maltese!

1235
00:56:33,942 --> 00:56:35,632
The Maltese comes to the world

1236
00:56:35,633 --> 00:56:37,393
from the island of Malta,

1237
00:56:37,394 --> 00:56:40,326
where it enjoyed its
status of canine royalty

1238
00:56:40,327 --> 00:56:44,123
for a whopping 28 centuries.

1239
00:56:44,124 --> 00:56:46,332
That's a long time!

1240
00:56:46,333 --> 00:56:49,094
The Maltese came to the
United States of America

1241
00:56:49,095 --> 00:56:53,167
for an 1887 showing
at the world famous.

1242
00:56:53,168 --> 00:56:54,687
Westminster Kennel Club.

1243
00:56:56,067 --> 00:56:59,863
Like royalty, the Maltese
have a very refined

1244
00:56:59,864 --> 00:57:01,796
and dignified look to them.

1245
00:57:01,797 --> 00:57:04,109
They have small,
cute little bodies,

1246
00:57:04,110 --> 00:57:06,318
and silky straight
hair that flows

1247
00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:08,907
all the way down to the ground.

1248
00:57:08,908 --> 00:57:10,805
Maltese are usually white,

1249
00:57:10,806 --> 00:57:13,083
and their little
black noses and eyes

1250
00:57:13,084 --> 00:57:16,156
make them look simply adorable.

1251
00:57:18,089 --> 00:57:19,469
Bless you.

1252
00:57:19,470 --> 00:57:23,093
Don't worry, you're not
sneezing because of the Maltese.

1253
00:57:23,094 --> 00:57:25,786
These dogs have no undercoats,

1254
00:57:25,787 --> 00:57:27,339
so they don't shed much,

1255
00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:31,447
and are what's known as
a hypo-allergenic dog.

1256
00:57:31,448 --> 00:57:34,105
No sneezes around
these little pleasers.

1257
00:57:37,488 --> 00:57:40,628
A Maltese can grow to
about 10 inches tall,

1258
00:57:40,629 --> 00:57:43,459
and weigh around
four to seven pounds.

1259
00:57:43,460 --> 00:57:45,875
Most of that is probably hair.

1260
00:57:45,876 --> 00:57:48,774
Their hair is so long
that usually owners

1261
00:57:48,775 --> 00:57:50,742
tie it in a knot with a bow

1262
00:57:50,743 --> 00:57:54,021
just so the dog can
see where it's going.

1263
00:57:54,022 --> 00:57:56,231
How bout that?

1264
00:58:00,925 --> 00:58:04,272
These dogs are super
affectionate and lively.

1265
00:58:04,273 --> 00:58:05,791
Got a camera handy?

1266
00:58:05,792 --> 00:58:07,344
Well, good!

1267
00:58:07,345 --> 00:58:10,762
Because the Maltese know how
to ham it up around people.

1268
00:58:10,763 --> 00:58:12,522
They want your attention,

1269
00:58:12,523 --> 00:58:15,871
and will do just about
anything to get it.

1270
00:58:20,289 --> 00:58:22,498
The Maltese is a playful, fun,

1271
00:58:22,499 --> 00:58:24,361
and full of energy dog,

1272
00:58:24,362 --> 00:58:28,158
and yep, they will
probably tire you out.

1273
00:58:28,159 --> 00:58:28,988
Yikes!

1274
00:58:28,988 --> 00:58:29,988
I'm pooped.

1275
00:58:31,059 --> 00:58:34,095
You're right, Professor Fetch!

1276
00:58:34,096 --> 00:58:39,101
The Maltese is crazy
cute, and super smart too.

1277
00:58:40,275 --> 00:58:42,172
Oh, can we check out
one more dog, Professor?

1278
00:58:42,173 --> 00:58:43,795
Schnauzers?

1279
00:58:43,796 --> 00:58:45,210
Oh!

1280
00:58:45,211 --> 00:58:46,211
Woo hoo!

1281
00:58:49,215 --> 00:58:52,804
Time to meet another tiny dog.

1282
00:58:52,805 --> 00:58:54,322
A mini one, even.

1283
00:58:54,323 --> 00:58:55,669
Coming to us from Europe

1284
00:58:55,670 --> 00:58:58,741
is the adorable
Miniature Schnauzer.

1285
00:58:58,742 --> 00:59:01,089
Let's learn all about them.

1286
00:59:05,058 --> 00:59:07,957
Miniature Schnauzers
are tiny little dogs

1287
00:59:07,958 --> 00:59:09,855
that come to the
world as part of the

1288
00:59:09,856 --> 00:59:11,857
terrier family of animals.

1289
00:59:11,858 --> 00:59:15,171
They were created in Germany
during the 19th century

1290
00:59:15,172 --> 00:59:17,518
when breeders mixed
a regular Schnauzer

1291
00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:19,866
with Affenpinschers and poodles.

1292
00:59:21,937 --> 00:59:24,387
Mini Schnauzers make
great companions

1293
00:59:24,388 --> 00:59:27,528
and are also very
popular show dogs.

1294
00:59:27,529 --> 00:59:29,012
Currently, they are listed as

1295
00:59:29,013 --> 00:59:31,808
one of the 20 most
popular dog breeds

1296
00:59:31,809 --> 00:59:33,603
in the United States.

1297
00:59:33,604 --> 00:59:35,054
How cool is that?

1298
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,164
These tiny dogs can
grow to be anywhere

1299
00:59:43,165 --> 00:59:45,581
from 12 to 14 inches tall,

1300
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:49,377
and weigh in anywhere
from 11 to 20 pounds.

1301
00:59:49,378 --> 00:59:52,311
They have very clean
and wiry double coats

1302
00:59:52,312 --> 00:59:54,106
that are super thick!

1303
00:59:54,107 --> 00:59:56,592
Their coat is
usually solid black,

1304
00:59:56,593 --> 00:59:59,560
or a combination of
black and another color

1305
00:59:59,561 --> 01:00:01,389
like white or silver.

1306
01:00:01,390 --> 01:00:04,703
Miniature Schnauzers have
snouts that are square shaped

1307
01:00:04,704 --> 01:00:06,981
with thick hair on their faces.

1308
01:00:06,982 --> 01:00:11,158
They have long, bushy
eyebrows and long beards.

1309
01:00:11,159 --> 01:00:12,642
How cute!

1310
01:00:12,643 --> 01:00:16,542
They have a folded set of
ears and sturdy bodies.

1311
01:00:16,543 --> 01:00:19,442
Schnauzers have short
legs that are super strong

1312
01:00:19,443 --> 01:00:22,446
as well as having
very short tails.

1313
01:00:24,793 --> 01:00:27,450
So, how did they get their name?

1314
01:00:27,451 --> 01:00:31,903
In German, the word "Schnauzer"
translates to muzzle,

1315
01:00:31,904 --> 01:00:34,664
and because the Miniature
Schnauzer's furry faces

1316
01:00:34,665 --> 01:00:36,562
are so recognizable,

1317
01:00:36,563 --> 01:00:39,945
that word ended up
describing them perfectly.

1318
01:00:39,946 --> 01:00:42,638
In fact, their
snouts are so popular

1319
01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:45,261
they have kind of
become their trademark.

1320
01:00:45,262 --> 01:00:46,366
How interesting.

1321
01:00:52,545 --> 01:00:55,133
Mini Schnauzers also
have an incredible

1322
01:00:55,134 --> 01:00:56,410
sense of hearing.

1323
01:00:56,411 --> 01:00:58,654
They can hear sounds
that are two times

1324
01:00:58,655 --> 01:01:01,208
higher in pitch than human ears.

1325
01:01:01,209 --> 01:01:03,418
How cool is that?

1326
01:01:08,319 --> 01:01:12,046
These dogs are super
happy, caring, and smart.

1327
01:01:12,047 --> 01:01:14,704
But they are also
pretty stubborn,

1328
01:01:14,705 --> 01:01:16,810
and require a lot of training

1329
01:01:16,811 --> 01:01:18,778
to become good house pets.

1330
01:01:20,193 --> 01:01:22,712
And that about does
it for today's class.

1331
01:01:22,713 --> 01:01:24,300
We're done?

1332
01:01:24,301 --> 01:01:25,370
So soon?

1333
01:01:25,371 --> 01:01:26,682
We sure are.

1334
01:01:26,683 --> 01:01:29,339
Did you boys enjoy your
first day at Pooch U?

1335
01:01:29,340 --> 01:01:30,616
- Yes!
- Yes!

1336
01:01:30,617 --> 01:01:32,032
Excellent!

1337
01:01:32,033 --> 01:01:33,723
I'll see you both back
here tomorrow morning then,

1338
01:01:33,724 --> 01:01:35,794
and we'll continue our lessons.

1339
01:01:35,795 --> 01:01:36,727
Okay!

1340
01:01:36,728 --> 01:01:39,418
We'll be here bright and early,

1341
01:01:39,419 --> 01:01:42,249
bushy tail and all.

1342
01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:45,010
Professor Fetch, I
don't want class to end.

1343
01:01:45,011 --> 01:01:47,703
Is there any way we
can have some homework?

1344
01:01:47,704 --> 01:01:48,807
Yeah!

1345
01:01:48,808 --> 01:01:50,498
My bones!

1346
01:01:50,499 --> 01:01:52,708
In all my years of teaching,

1347
01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:56,263
no students have ever asked
to do homework before.

1348
01:01:56,264 --> 01:01:58,023
You two really are serious about

1349
01:01:58,024 --> 01:01:59,991
learning all you
can, aren't you?

1350
01:01:59,992 --> 01:02:00,992
Yes!

1351
01:02:01,579 --> 01:02:02,718
Very well.

1352
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:04,927
I'll give you some
homework on this topic.

1353
01:02:04,928 --> 01:02:06,549
- Yes!
- Yes!

1354
01:02:06,550 --> 01:02:09,172
You both can do a round
robin, brain blasting,

1355
01:02:09,173 --> 01:02:11,209
doggy study session
in the comfort

1356
01:02:11,210 --> 01:02:12,728
of your own home.

1357
01:02:12,729 --> 01:02:14,212
And we'll come back refreshed,

1358
01:02:14,213 --> 01:02:17,560
reinvigorated, and ready
to learn evermore tomorrow.

1359
01:02:17,561 --> 01:02:19,769
Woo hoo!

1360
01:02:19,770 --> 01:02:21,013
Let's go!

1361
01:02:22,462 --> 01:02:25,671
Pooch U has already taught
us so much about dogs,

1362
01:02:25,672 --> 01:02:27,812
and it's only our
first day of class.

1363
01:02:27,813 --> 01:02:29,952
How wild!

1364
01:02:29,953 --> 01:02:32,299
The semester's barely begun,

1365
01:02:32,300 --> 01:02:34,750
I wonder what else
we'll learn about.

1366
01:02:34,751 --> 01:02:36,199
There's just no telling!

1367
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,754
Professor Fetch is
like a mad genius,

1368
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:41,170
and the classroom is
like his laboratory.

1369
01:02:41,171 --> 01:02:44,449
Whipping up hot problem potions

1370
01:02:44,450 --> 01:02:47,763
and solving doggy
daydream dilemmas.

1371
01:02:47,764 --> 01:02:49,661
Yeah!

1372
01:02:49,662 --> 01:02:51,180
I love Pooch U!

1373
01:02:51,181 --> 01:02:52,181
So do I.

1374
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:55,460
Let's go home and
chew on some facts

1375
01:02:55,461 --> 01:02:57,394
like it's an old chew.

1376
01:02:58,257 --> 01:02:59,223
All right!

1377
01:02:59,224 --> 01:03:00,535
My mouth is already drooling.

1378
01:03:12,892 --> 01:03:14,306
Let's take a bag of
kibbles to the living room,

1379
01:03:14,307 --> 01:03:17,206
Slobberstick, and tackle
some of these homework.

1380
01:03:17,207 --> 01:03:18,035
What do you say?

1381
01:03:18,036 --> 01:03:19,553
Okay, let's do it!

1382
01:03:19,554 --> 01:03:22,970
We still got any of those old
smoke flavored jerky bites?

1383
01:03:22,971 --> 01:03:24,592
You bet your collar, Slobs!

1384
01:03:24,593 --> 01:03:27,251
School is cool, Mugs!

1385
01:03:28,218 --> 01:03:29,701
No doubt, Slobs!

1386
01:03:29,702 --> 01:03:32,567
I feel like a dog
genius already!
