Dogs 101 This Weekend!

Animal Planet is doing a show called Dogs 101 that will premiere on Saturday at 8pm E/P- and they are featuring Chihuahuas in the first episode! :) They're going through a lot of breeds though, so everyone should watch it. From what I've heard, they will do 5 breeds per episode. In episode 5, they will feature the Doberman, and chose the famous Ramsey and Pablo to be the example of how breed-specific stereotypes aren't always true (good job, Animal Planet!)

Here is what Animal Planet has to say about their series:

"They have the courage to chase lions, the dignity to sit at the feet of royalty and some say even the smarts to read. They are the best companions of the human race—dogs and cats. This 10-episode series is the most comprehensive look at dogs and cats on television. The first eight episodes explore the most popular dog breeds, from the lovable French bulldog to the heroic Labrador retriever. Two cat episodes follow providing a complete picture of the amazing variety of cat breeds. With over 200 dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, DOGS 101 will spotlight the adorable, the feisty and the unexpected. Does the St. Bernard have a sixth sense for predicting avalanches? Can the Whippet see in the dark? Which breed is still used today as a life guard? DOGS 101 uncovers surprising details about everyone’s favorite dog breeds from the Airedale Terrier to the Yorkie. Learn which dog breeds are best for urban living and which ones are most family friendly. Using a mix of animal experts, the personal stories of pet owners and stylized dog photography, DOGS 101 is an unprecedented look at man’s best friend.
