BEAGLES
By Me, Aaron Knight
Beagles are one of the most beloved dogs in America; look at Snoopy, he's pretty popular. Even Queen Elizabeth had a beagle. If Queen Elizabeth liked her beagle, other people will probably love them too. As of 2014, beagles were the 5th most popular dog in America. And if you don't already know, a beagle is a dog breed. So let me tell you some facts about them.
Size/Noise
There are two different sizes of beagles the smaller size is no taller than 13” in. tall, and anywhere from 22-30 lbs. While the larger type can weigh up to 35 lbs. and is taller than 13”, but not by much. The dog will only grow to 15” tall. As you can tell, these dogs are not great danes, but they do have a huge voice box. Beagles are very vocal and one of the loudest dogs out there. Beagle even means loud mouth in French, and they're not very good guard dogs because of this. Also if you thought that they bark you are wrong; they howl. Ask me, I listen to mine every night chasing coyotes and rabbits across the front yard.
Pack/Hunter

These beagles are also willing to share affection with their pack, even the hunting pack shares affection. When this pack of beagles gets on a scent, they don't come off (ever). One of a beagle’s great hunting traits is its nose, beagles have 225 million scent receptors while we humans have only 5 million. As we know beagles are a small breed of dog, so one thing hunters would do is have the bigger dogs chase the game and then the beagles finish the chase through the underbrush. While these little dogs were flying through the underbrush, the hunters would use their white tipped tail to follow
Old Dan is a special character in the book because he couldn't leave without his sister Little Ann. He wouldn't go with Billy or anyone unless he went with his sister. The dogs turned out to be very good friends and hunted together and protected each other. They had to be trained to hunt first though. After they
Basset Hounds are known for their sad-looking faces and great sense of smell, which is second only to the bloodhound. Many people also know them for their floppy ears, their short legs, and their sometimes stubborn nature, but here are eight facts you may not know about Basset Hounds.
Pit Bulls are without a doubt my favorite dog, I adore them. Pit Bulls are very well tempered, loyal, and resilient animals. Bred for big game hunting, Pit Bulls are strong, fierce animals and people who have the wrong intentions for ownership should never own them. I am a strong believer that a potential pet owner should do lots of research before getting any type of animal, without exception. Owners should do as much research before getting a dog as they do in planning for a new home or any other new family member. One of the main things to really think about and understand is your intentions for your selection of an animal with the breeding of the Pit Bull. If you choose a dog with the wrong intentions, specifically a Pit Bull, you will get a dog that behaves aggressively and is dangerous. This owner behavior is what has caused the current plight of the Pit Bull today, where laws have been passed in thirteen states and hundreds of municipalities, as well as every U. S. Military base, banning the ownership of the breed and forcing shelters to euphonize Pit Bulls within 24 hours. These laws are unjust and cruel, and victimize the breed based on the owners’ behavior. I also argue that the blame for the epidemic proportions that the laws have reached is 100% the fault of owners who purposely acquired the Pit Bull with the intention to abuse and fight the dogs, and that these owners are the ones who should be punished, not the dogs.

Pit Bull-Beauty or Beast? Are pit bulls the best breed of dogs to keep around the house? Pit bulls are the majority of dog attacks that have been covered by news stations. The news coverage has made people really nervous about these animals. People are afraid to let these dogs be around their families and friends.
When you hear Pit Bulls; what is the first thing that comes into your mind? Maybe, mean or just flat out dangerous dogs. Many people have Pit Bulls and say they are great dogs and that they are great family pets. Many still think they are not safe to have as pets and some states are even trying to ban the ownership of Pit Bulls. I believe that Pits are good family dogs and that people have the wrong idea about these dogs.
Dogs that are forced to fight and are conditioned to defend themselves or die. When these dogs get loose, everything is a threat to them and they defend themselves in the name of survival. If golden retrievers were bred and raised with the sole purpose of fighting to the death, they would be just as dangerous as pit bulls. On the contrary, if all pit bulls were bred and treated as family dogs, they would have the same reputation as golden retrievers, if not better, as the statistics found in the temperament test above show.
Should people be allowed to keep Pit Bulls as a pet? I hear this being debated all the time. I hear on the news how states have banned this dog. Its sad, the dog has done nothing wrong. I think its the owners fault, the dogs were raised to fight. The dogs don't know any different, they had to fight to survive.
Pit bulls are adorable dogs who do not mean any harm. Some cities and dog shelters have banned pit bulls, for being to aggressive. Pit bulls are aggressive or defend themselves when they feel threatened. The way a pit bull acts is based on how its owner treats them, or trains them to behave. If a pit bull is raised in a bad environment, and encouraged with bad behavior, pit bulls might not like to be around other people, and could feel threatened. Some owners even train their dogs (mostly pit bulls but could be different breads too) to fight against other dogs. If a dog has been raised like this, people can not expect a dog to have good behavior around others. If pit bulls are treated nicely and put into a healthy environment, they can be one

There are however certain aspects within these countries and cultures that act as a common ground between one another. One dominant aspect is the existence of dogs within these cultures.
Not only does the Great Dane hold the title ‘Apollo of Dogs’ but it has become famously well-known for its great size. As one of the largest breeds in the world, a male Dane can reach to 76cm tall and weigh 54 – 91kg as well as the female who can reach the height of 71cm tall and weigh anywhere between 45 – 65kg. The Great Dane possesses an uncanny resemblance to the Mastiff; this is evidently seen in the dog’s rectangular skull. The likeness of the two canines is a result of their skulls being parallel to their snouts hence their resemblance and regal appearance.
All dogs are unique, but they fit into categories. Every dog has traits that make them an Annie, a Lucy, or a Winnie. All types are good, but certain people fit better with certain types. A lover of animals, I like all dogs, no matter the type. Personalities make dogs fall into different categories.
No dog is the same in the way that each breed has a different personality, color, shape, and size. When looking at these qualities and trying to determine the greatest dog breed of all time, being well rounded in each of the listed criteria should be a top priority. With this in mind, there is one breed that stands out among all the others with its strength in each category. There is no surprise that the Labrador Retriever would be at the top of the list being that they are the most popular family pet in the USA, UK, and many other parts of the world. It should also be pointed out that they wouldn’t be the most popular dog breed without valid reasons behind it. This versatile dog, with it’s many desirable traits has made them a perfect fit into the various roles of society.
A common stereotype of “pit bulls are vicious animals” used as an excuse for why parents will not allow their children to go over to a pit bull owning person’s house to play with other children. In recent times the pit bull has received a bad reputation from the media due to dog fighting cases and false stories. During both world wars the American Pit Bull Terrier was used for many military propaganda posters because of its powerful and loyal characteristics as well as held officer positions in the military. Many households, such as my own, find the breed to be the best pets for their families because Pit Bulls are very protective and loving dogs. Even though Pit bulls can have an aggressive behavior if not trained properly, I believe the American
(Attention Gainer) Forgiving, Friendly, and small. This is why Ebbie and 39 other beagles were choosen to be test subjects for medications, cosmetics, and household products research in Spain. Most dogs end up being euthanized, but these 40 beagles were given a second chance at a new life when they were rescued and put into loving homes. These animals touched grass and felt free for the first time from their life confined to a cage. Many dogs have their vocal chords taken out, so that they don 't bark when they are injected with harmful chemicals. (Chase, 2013).
When I was nine years old my grandparents adopted a two year puppy named, maximilian. We, of course, called him Max. When we went to the kennel to pick out a new dog Max didn 't seem like an option. He was a scrawny little puppy tucked in the corner of the shelter. Max was a boisterous springer spaniel mix, and when we first got him he was black and white. Overtime his white fur was masked by black spots, similar to age spots, which made him uniquely mine. Max was suppose to my grandfathers new hunting dog when he was newly adopted. However, at the very first gunshot Max bolted and my grandfather spent a three hours looking for Max in the woods. After the hunting incident my grandfather wrote Max off and, he became my dog.
