[Answer] 7. Which of these breeds of dogs is or has also been given the name "Alsatians"?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "7. Which of these breeds of dogs is or has also been given the name "Alsatians"? "

...1. Spaniels 2. Great Danes 3. Mastiffs 4. German Shepherd Dogs During and after the First World War, anything German had fallen in disgrace in some parts of the world. For that reason the German shepherd dog was at least temporarily rebaptised: the Alsatian. This name was correct anyway as Alsatia (now mostly called Alsace) was the area where the breed had originated from. Only it was not at all times clear to everybody whether Alsatia was inside or outside Germany. By the way,rightly or wrongly, it has been claimed that this is the dog that bites humans most. Great Danes are not from Denmark by the way. They were bred in Germany for hunting wild boars. Nor are spaniels from Spain. The origin of the name spaniel seems to be related to French "espanir" and Italian "spaniare". Verbs that mean"to crouch", "to flatten". Cocker spaniels hunted for woodcocks. Springer spaniels flushed partridge, pheasants and hares. Originally mastiffs were used as dogs of war. Later they became watch-dogs. By the way in contrast to the name "Spaniel", the name "Pekinese" really suggests the correct origin. "Pekinese" dogs could only be kept at the Imperial Court and were kind of sacred. Their possession was forbidden for "non-royals". When in 1860 British and French troops overran the Summer Palace at Peking, the Imperial Guards got orders from the Emperor to kill his reputedly semi-divine "Pekinese dogs". A few escaped the slaughter, and were taken to Queen Victoria's Court. Peking is now known as Beijing.

[Answer] 1. The warriors plan to send search dogs to find and help capture the giant avocado, but you inform them that they should rethink taking the dogs. Why?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. The warriors plan to send search dogs to find and help capture the giant avocado, but you inform them that they should rethink taking the dogs. Why?"

...1. The giant avocado would crush them. 2. Parts of the avocado can be toxic to dogs. 3. Dogs despise avocado and will run in the opposite direction. 4. There's no reason the dogs shouldn't go. The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has the avocado on its list of foods that can be toxic to animals. Though some pet owners do feed avocados to their pets, the bark, leaves, skin and seed of the avocado contain persin, which is a toxin. This can apply to animals other than dogs, like cats, birds, and horses. While some animals may consume avocados on a regular basis with no problems, there is still the potential for it to be harmful. It can cause intestinal irritation, congestion, vomiting, and diarrhea, amongst other things. The fruit of the avocado itself is generally fine for animals. In fact, the pet food brand AvoDerm contains avocado oil and meal, which is rich in vitamins.

[Ans] Which breed of dog is the standard for the U.S. military's working dogs units?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which breed of dog is the standard for the U.S. military's working dogs units?"

In the early months of WWII, the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps began its training of working dogs for the Army's K-9 Corps. At first, the Army used more than 30 breeds. This was later narrowed, based on performance and experience, to five: German Shepherds, Belgian Sheep Dogs, Giant Schnauzers, Doberman Pinschers and short-coat Farm Collies. Today, the German Shepherd is the preferred standard breed for training as a U.S. military working dog because of their unique traits, such as intelligence, loyalty, aggression and athleticism.
