Canine Clueless
Dogs don't come with an instruction book, but there are basic facts you can learn that will help you be more prepared in the event of a canine illness. Dogs are masters of disguise when they are not feeling well. Your best weapon against illness is to learn to recognize your dog's normal coat and eye appearance. Take notes on your dog's normal posture and behavior. Then take it a step further by learning about your dog's normal respiratory rate, temperature and heart rate. By learning to identify a problem early, you will help to ensure that your dog is with you for years to come.

I had no idea about most of the questions, so I didn't actually take the test. There were only 3 questions I could even begin to answer.

The answer to the largest dog question is very problematic. St Bernards average higher than other dogs (excluding possibly the tosa) in weight. Wolfhounds average the tallest. However the world's largest living dog is 296 pound Great Dane named Avalanche I believe. Let me find the link.

I don't think that is a good question at all.

WHAT A MATCH.....LOL

I only got 40%.

I got 70%. I also missed the one on which was the largest dog breed...I guessed Irish Wolfhound. I guess they were going by body weight...lol.
