Fun Facts about Dogs from the AKC

-The Labrador Retriever has been on the AKC’s top 10 most popular breeds list for 30 consecutive years—longer than any other breed.

-A dog’s nose print is unique, much like a person’s fingerprint.

-Forty-five percent of U.S. dogs sleep in their owner’s bed.

- Speaking of sleeping … all dogs dream, but puppies and senior dogs dream more frequently than adult dogs.

- Seventy percent of people sign their dog’s name on their holiday cards.

- A dog’s sense of smell is legendary, but did you know that his nose has as many as 300 million receptors? In comparison, a human nose has about 5 million.

-Rin Tin Tin, the famous German Shepherd, was nominated for an Academy Award.

- Dogs’ noses can sense heat/thermal radiation, which explains why blind or deaf dogs can still hunt.

- Only one breed that was among the five most popular breeds in 1934— the Beagle — still remains in the top five today.

- The name Collie means “black.” (Collies once tended black-faced sheep.)

-Yawning is contagious—even for dogs. Research shows that the sound of a human yawn can trigger one from your dog. And it’s four times as likely to happen when it’s the yawn of a person he knows.

- The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is the only breed named for a fictional person—a character in the novel Guy Mannering, by Sir Walter Scott.

- Dogs curl up in a ball when sleeping to protect their organs—a hold over from their days in the wild, when they were vulnerable to predator attacks.

- The Basenji is not technically “barkless,” as many people think. They can yodel.
