Carl Semencic, an anthropologist who has a life long interest in dogs and
their evolution, and has written three best selling books on the subject,
theorized that brachycephalic (short-faced) breeds, like the Pug and
Pekingese, were developed by the Chinese influenced by the invasion of the
short-face Mongols.
Makes sense.
If i would devlelop a new kind of dog, it would some kind of super ban-dog.
(thats the term for the latest versions of fighting dogs, isnt it?)
But i am more of a reptile man myself.
In the late eighties, i had an Asian Water Monitor, which i had to bring to
the Zoo because he reached 6 feet.
A few years later, i saw him there being a whopping 10 feet.
In the nineties, i had this cute White Throat Monitor. Extremely muscular
and beautiful, with 2 inch razor sharp claws. Enough pet talk...
Have you ever shot a S&W .500? With one hand? I did ;-)
