The Dog Variations
Britain keeps some five million dogs and the USA more than 40 million. They can be guards, guides, workers, companions or simply friends. Though no-one can be certain about how long ago our relationships with dogs began, we know that dogs and man date back to the Middle Stone Age, as fossil bone found show that dogs were helping hunters 10,000 years ago.
Among the creatures that sport the name dog, there is many a variety of sizes and appearances, gigantic sleek animals the size of a four year old tower over scampering fluffy things no bigger than a pigeon.
Some dogs belong to an identifiable, classified breed, meaning that their parents and usually recent ancestors were the same type of dog. Others have parents of different breed and are known as cross breeds, yet, some dogs are neither thoroughbred or cross bred, these dogs whose parents are of mixed breeds are called mongrels.
Mongrels are often seen as to be a more robust dog, and more friendly than thorough bred dogs. As their parents were not themselves the offspring of pedigree dogs, the features that will be apparent in their pups cannot at all be foreseen. Also, new Pedigree breeds introduced from other countries have to be recognised by the Kennel Club.
