Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what colors do the coats of German shorthaired pointers come?

Answer: liver and liver and white ticked

The coat can come in either a solid liver or liver and white ticked. Ticked is more common than solid.

2. What keeps Labrador retrievers warm while they are swimming in cold water?

Answer: their coats

Labs have both a dense outer coat and a softer undercoat. These two coats help to keep Labs warm while they are swimming in cold water.

3. Beagles use tonguing while tracking rabbits. What is tonguing?

Answer: a specific sounding bark

Tonguing is the term used when describing the bark a beagle makes while tracking rabbits. Each dog has its own unique bark that it makes while tonguing.

4. How do you train avoidance of snakes?

Answer: by pairing snakes with an adverse stimulus

You use an electronic collar to pair adverse stimulation to the sight and smell of snakes. The theory is that the dog will associate the shock with the snake and will avoid them. This is very dangerous work however and should not be done without the proper equipment and without backup to help in case of a snake bite.
