Briefly explain the difference between a subspecies and a breed.
A subspecies occurs by natural selection and is usually limited geographically, while a
breed occurs by artificial selection (by humans) and is not limited geographically.
What is one of the three general groups in the Working group and give a brief
example of it.
Guard dogs, Rottweilers can be protective of both their homes and their owners and will
alert their owners of something they don't like by barking until they are told it is O.K. (ex.
the boy that walked in to class late while Grunt was there and he got protective over the
classroom because he felt like it was his space to protect and went back to being a
happy dog when his owner told him it was O.K.)
Dr. Ange asked you to watch BBC Pedigree Dogs Exposed. Please name one
breed talked about in the video and give a brief explaination of what the breed
suffers from and why it is so controversial.
Many Cavalier king charles Spaniels suffer from syringomyelia, a disease caused by the
skull being too small for the brain. Even though these dogs go through intense pain and
either have to be put down or go through intense, risky surgery the AKC will happily
register and allow breeds with this disease to become show dogs and win shows. The
controversy is that people should be focused on breeding cavalier king charles spaniels
without this disease so that it can be eliminated, and the AKC shouldn't support the
breeding of dogs with syringomyelia.
Briefly explain what domestication is and how it differs from taming. Give
examples for each.
Domestication is when an animal becomes completely dependent on a human for food
and won't leave, this takes generations to have. A tame animal, like a domesticated
animal will approach and accept food from a human and (hopefully) won't hurt a human
but these animals will leave and still have wild instincts. (ex. The squirrels at NC state, if
you feed them every day and they return for food and will take it from you without
, hurting you they are considered tame, but they are still wild and don't want to wait for
long before they leave. A domesticated squirrel would stay all day) MAKE SURE TO
INCLUDE: A squirrel that is willing to stay all day with a human is not domesticated. Any
breed of a dog would be domesticated because the genetic structure has been altered
through selective breeding
What type of dog does Cpt. Standish personally use for her own medical
condition? In addition, name a different type of medical condition that Cpt.
Standish trains dogs for (be specific).
She had a miniature pinscher Gracie, who is now retired, and now has an Italian
Greyhound named Ava to help notify her for seizures. She also trains dogs to help with
balance, like for the war veteran so that if he falls the dog can help him up and he can
put weight on the dog (Kylie) without having to worry about falling.
List and explain at least one previous use of a ferret and one current use of a
ferret.
A previous use of a ferret was for "ferret legging", a sport in which a jester would put a
ferret down his pants and see how long he could last. A current use for a ferret is fur
ranching, as their fur is soft and valuable.
Out of the 500 species of rat, only ___ species are commonly kept as pets.

In class we talked about rabbits and what happened with them in Australia.
Explain what happened, the specific methods used to attempt fixing the problem,
and why it is considered controversial.
In 1859, one pair of rabbits was brought into Australia and 30 years later there were 20
million of them. The thought to get rid of them was to use pesticide, but because rabbits
reproduce so quickly, some were immune and were able to pass that immunity on to
their offspring, creating a new immunity gene in the future generations to come. It's
considered controversial because they are an invasive species, they further help with
erosion, and many more things. BE SURE TO INCLUDE rabbit haemorrhagic fever and
controversial due to methods used to kill the rabbits
What were guinea pigs originally bred for?
Meat
The Ferret is considered a true what?
Carnivore
