Recognizing Breeds and Their Origins

The Border Collie comes from the Anglo-Scottish border. The Siberian Husky was bred by the Chukchi people. The Akita is Japanese, the Cane Corso Italian, the Xoloitzcuintle Mexican. Our questions emphasize these precise geographic origins because they tell the story of the work humans have asked these dogs to do: herding livestock, pulling sleds, hunting, and mountain rescue. Each breed has an official morphological standard, published by the FCI, that sets its size, weight, and coat color.

FCI Standards and the Ten Breed Groups

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale, founded in 1911, recognizes about 350 breeds organized into ten groups. Group 1 covers herding and cattle dogs, while Group 10 covers sighthounds. Our medium and hard questions have you navigate between these categories: which group the German Shepherd belongs to, how many sections Group 1 has, and the maximum show weight for a Chihuahua. These are verifiable facts, sourced from Wikipedia or directly from the FCI standards.

Dogs: Man's Best Friend

The dog (Canis lupus familiaris) descended from the gray wolf, domesticated more than 15,000 years ago. Today it shares life with millions of households, filling many roles: companionship, guarding, assistance, sports, and work. Our 88 questions cover everything from physiology (42 adult teeth, a 63-day gestation period, 200 to 300 million scent receptors) to memorable stories, like the loyalty of Hachikō.
