Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This tiny dog was popularized by the movie As Good as it Gets.

Answer: Brussels Griffon

It comes in two coats- short and rough. Unfortunately, this once-rare breed, due to movie popularity, is being churned out by puppymills.

2. This breed's name means 'monkey terrier' in German.

Answer: Affenpinscher

So called because of its wizened little face.

3. This roly-poly fellow is among the quietest and most placid of the Toys. It is hard to believe that he is probably a descendant of fierce mastiffs and bulldogs.

Answer: Pug

Among a generally high-strung and barky group, the Pug is noted for his calm demeanor.

4. This small dog sports a profuse coat of silky hair that is always white.

Answer: Maltese

The other dogs come in many different colors.

5. This beautiful breed is a sighthound in miniature.

Answer: Italian Greyhound

These dogs are very delicate and not suited for families with rough children.

6. This dog comes in both a hairless and powderpuff variety.

Answer: Chinese Crested

The hairless ones...well, let us just say they win a great number of 'Ugly Dog' contests...

7. This breed's name is French for 'butterfly.'

Answer: Papillon

Named for its large ears. A drop-eared Pap is called a Phalene.

8. This dog is the smallest of the Spitz breeds.

Answer: Pomeranian

The Spitz group are noted for their round head with triangular ears, bushy double coat, and tail often curled over the back. Other members include the Akita, Chow, Norwegian Elkhound, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, etc.

9. This breed was originally a hardworking terrier, bred to kill vermin. Now it's a pampered pet, known best for its profuse black/blue and tan coat.

Answer: Yorkshire Terrier

At various times, extremely tiny Yorkies have been noted as the smallest dogs in the world. The AKC standard for a Yorkie is for the coat to be a dark steel blue, and tan.

10. Cockapoos are a breed of dog recognised by the American Kennel Club.

Answer: False

A cockapoo is a mixed breed; the first-generation cross of a cocker and a poodle. Responsible breeders don't breed them. A "breed" of dog is one that breeds true- i.e.- if you breed beagles to beagles, you get more beagles. This isn't true with cockapoos- if you breed 2 first-generation cockapoos, you don't get dogs of any recognizable type- some look like poodles, some look like cockers, and some look like something in between. That's why they are usually sold only as first-generation crosses.
