Canine terminology

Okay kiddo, let's talk about some words that we use when we talk about dogs.

First, let's start with breed. This is like the type of dog that your furry friend is. Just like there are different kinds of toys, there are different kinds of dogs. Some popular breeds are Labrador Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds!

Next, we have some words that describe what a dog might look like. For example, we might say that a dog is fluffy if they have a lot of hair, or that they are sleek if they have very short hair. We can also say that a dog is small or large depending on how big they are!

Now, let's talk about some words that are related to a dog's personality. If a dog is very friendly and loves people, we might say that they are social. If a dog is really good at listening to commands, we might call them well-trained. And if a dog is always jumping up and down and acting excited, we might say that they are energetic!

Finally, we have some words that are related to a dog's behavior. If a dog is growling and showing their teeth, they might be acting aggressive. If they are constantly barking, we might say that they are being loud. And if a dog is chewing on something that they're not supposed to, like your shoes, they might be acting naughty.

So there you have it – some basic canine terminology! Just remember, every dog is unique and special, so they might not fit perfectly into these categories. But that's what makes them so wonderful!
