kendalyn Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 This article is really interesting. It's about how different breeds of dogs can see differently. It's long so I'll post the summary here and a link to the full text. [quote]Everyone wonders what it Quote
bk_blue Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I remember watching this on tv last year- it was fascinating. :) go the ABC! :D Quote
courtnek Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 well, that does explain alot. My Lab and Foxhound both have "long noses"...not as long as an afghan, but still long. Both of them appear to hae peripheal vision...I have seen both swing their heads to the side when a squirrel runs by...The hound is a scent hound, but both of them will mark on something running through a closed window, which they cant smell nearly as well through. The hound doesnt chase, the Lab does, but the Hound was trained to hunt the scent of fox...the Lab was never trained to hunt anything, but can run down a squirrel in seconds flat...and she's part pointer, and points too! never been trained....so maybe their peripheral vision has something to do with their instinctive genes, too...
