Whoo-hoo!
Greetings, Pup Scouts.
Hey, General Hot Dog.
Piper, Boobear, it's time for
the annual Pup Scouts of the World contest,
where teams compete for the chance to win
the prestigious Smartest Pooch award
and all the bones you can eat for a year.
Your job is to chase, fetch and report
all there is to know about
dogs, puppies,
and everything in between.
You will travel all over the world,
across time, space and beyond.
You must keep your nose to the wind,
your ears perked,
and your paws to the wheel at all times.
We depend on you to do the best job possible.
Are you ready for your first assignment?
Tail wiggling.
Ears flappin'.
Pup Scouts are ready for the chase, General Hot Dog.
This is sure to be
a challenging mission, little ones.
Succulent wishbones!
I love challenging missions.
Slappin' tails, me too!
I'm sending you two
on a mission to learn about
the evolution of dogs!
The evolution of dogs?
- How cool! - Can't wait!
It's up to you to learn
all about it, and report back to me with what you've discovered.
Sweet barbecue sauce!
This is going to be an incredible adventure!
What can you tell us about evolution, General Hot Dog?
Evolution is the process
that allows an organism to develop and diversify
from earlier life forms.
You see, us dogs have not always looked like we do today.
We have evolved over time.
Wow! I can't wait to find out more!
The evolution of dogs sounds so interesting!
As you know, Boobear and Piper,
to win the annual Pup Scouts of the World,
you must find out and learn tons
of amazing facts about dogs.
We will.
Awesome!
You must also know there is a question
that all the brightest canine minds
all over the world have not been able to answer
about the evolution of dogs.
We need you two Pup Scouts to help us
answer the "what the woof" question
about the evolution of dogs.
"What the woof" question?
How cool. What is the question?
What is the most ancient breed of dogs
in existence today?
That's a great question, General Hot Dog.
Yes, General Hot Dog,
we'll sniff out the answer in the wag of a puppy's tail.
You'll see.
I will assign you the best
Pup Scout helper in the world: Scuzzy Bot.
He's a robotic encyclopedia of canine knowledge.
He will assist you on your mission.
Scuzzy Bot!
We love Scuzzy Bot!
Be sure to ask a lot of questions, Pup Scouts.
You have a prestigious
Smartest Pooch award to win...
and all the bones you can eat for a year!
Have an amazing adventure, you two.
All right!
Pup Scouts...
Hurray!
Pup Scouts!
Ready to get started on your next adventure?
Super ready.
Is a Frisbee ready to fly?
Remember, Pup Scouts,
any and all questions you have, I'm here to answer them.
Where do we begin?
Six million years ago, the Earth's climate
was getting gradually colder.
This is what eventually led to the glaciations
of the Pliocene and the Pleistocene.
This was also known as the Ice Age.
Sweet pork chops! That's amazing!
I'll be a kitty cat. I didn't know that.
Now, look down there.
That's the southern part of North America,
today's southwestern United States and Mexico,
six million years ago.
There is where small woodland foxes
started getting a lot larger and faster.
By the late Miocene, about five million years ago,
the first ancestors of coyotes, wolves,
and domestic dogs had emerged.
All members of this family,
which also includes modern-day jackals, hyenas and foxes,
are known as canids.
Incredible!
Hit my puppy brain with more incredible facts, Scuzzy Bot.
From America, a group of canids
made their way into Europe and Asia.
The first canids were small- to medium-sized meat eaters,
but they were not the top predators wolves are today.
But all that was about to change with the emergence
of a large creature the size of a wolf
around three to four million years ago.
Totally rip-tastic!
Now, Boobear and Piper, the mighty wolf as we know them today
didn't appear until much later...
800 thousand years ago, in modern-day Alaska.
The time period is known as the Middle Pleistocene.
Amazing!
Did dogs evolve from wolves?
Great question, Boobear.
The answer is yes. And no.
You see, Pup Scouts, although dogs
are of the same species as modern wolves,
they did not evolve from the wolves you see today.
It is believed that dogs have evolved
from a wolf species which is now extinct.
Whoa!
Cool factoid. How did they know that?
One way to learn about evolution is to use DNA.
What is DNA, Scuzzy Bot?
DNA is short for...
deoxyribonucleic acid.
I know. It's a mouthful, isn't it?
DNA is a thin molecule
in the shape of a winding curved ladder
made up of nucleotides.
Animal bodies are made of cells,
and DNA is a complicated and pretty cool mechanism
that tells cells what to do.
In other words, the cells of your body
take orders from DNA, just like young dogs
take orders from the alpha dog of the pack.
Without the directions of the alpha dog,
younger dogs wouldn't know how to behave.
That's the same relationship cells and DNA have.
When did the first dogs appear, Scuzzy Bot?
Excellent question, Boobear.
Dogs have separated from their wolf ancestors
over 30,000 years ago.
The earliest known fossil of a domestic dog
is from 31,700 years ago
and was found in what is today's Belgium.
So dogs and modern-day wolves
don't have anything in common, Scuzzy Bot.
Very good observation, Boobear.
Seems as if it would be so, but it is not.
There has been, throughout time,
mixing of dogs with modern-day wolves.
So even if dogs don't descend
from modern-day wolves,
they have mixed with them in the very recent past.
All this makes it very difficult for scientists
to pinpoint the exact origin of dogs.
Can they tell us when dogs become man's best friend?
They can approximate when that happened by using
archeological evidence.
Whoa! Archeological evidence?
What is that?
Archeology is the study of the past
based not on written evidence,
such as books or ancient writing,
but on physical evidence.
Most of the archeological evidence
comes from digging in the ground
for ancient bones or artifacts.
Digging? I'm an ace at digging,
especially for delicious bones!
Follow me, Pup Scouts. Let's head to the site
where the first domesticated dog was discovered.
Whoo-hoo!
Yay-hay-hay-hay!
Here we are, Pup Scouts. Below us is Germany.
It was here that the skeleton of a domesticated dog was found.
Its DNA identifies it as
Canis lupus familiarus,
which is the fancy name for... dog!
The remains date to around
13,000 to 14,000 years ago,
and he was one of the earliest examples of man's best friend.
How do we know?
We know because his skeleton
was found in the same burial site
as a man and a woman,
so he was a domesticated,
and possibly well-loved family dog.
Where else were ancient dogs found, Scuzzy Bot?
Let's see. Uh, remains of Canis lupus familiarus
were found in Iraq, China,
Siberia and Denmark.
Were they all domesticated dogs?
It's hard to tell with all of them, although
when dogs are found in human burial grounds,
it's a good indication that their lives
and that of humans have become very close.
There are examples in the Baikal region
in modern-day Russia of dogs' ceremonial burials.
Archeologists have found dogs
buried lying on their right side
and facing towards the east, just like humans.
Some dogs were even buried with artifacts,
like stone and bone carvings.
Wow! I'll be a dog biscuit. That's incredible!
Did all those ancient dogs look the same?
That's a great question, Piper!
The answer is, probably not.
There is evidence that multiple breeds of primitive dogs existed.
Many earlier forms of domesticated dogs went extinct
and were replaced by other primitive dogs.
All these dogs had different coat lengths and color,
and even their faces and muzzles were different.
Sweet barbecue bones! I had no idea.
What about breeds? When did people begin to create
all the dog breeds we see today?
Excellent question, Piper.
I see you're paying close attention.
The process of breeding dogs to look like
some of the breeds we see today has been a long one,
probably dating back thousands of years
since prehistoric times.
Why did people breed dogs to look so different from each other?
Normally, dogs are bred to make sure certain traits
that people like about them are produced,
like size, color, temperament and shape.
For example, livestock guardian dogs
were bred more than 2,000 years ago to protect
flocks or herds of domesticated animals, like sheep.
Whoa! Beagle brain blast!
- That's incredible! - I have a question.
What's the most ancient dog breed, Scuzzy Bot?
It's believe the most ancient dog breed in existence today
is the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog.
They were believed to have gone extinct,
but a pack of healthy and happy
New Guinea highland wild dogs have been discovered recently
in the highest island mountain peak in the world:
the summit of Mount Carstensz in New Guinea.
Hey, Piper,
I think we just found the answer to General Hot Dog's
"what the woof" question.
You're right, Boobear.
The most ancient dog breed in existence today
is the New Guinea highland wild dog.
Congratulations on finding the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question, Pup Scouts.
General Hot Dog will be proud of you.
No bones about it.
Fantastic work, Pup Scouts.
Your mission was a great success.
You're well on your way
to winning the prestigious Smartest Pooch award
and all the bones
you can eat for a year!
Tail-waggin' awesome!
Say, were you able to find the answer to this mission's
"what the woof" question?
Yes, General Hot Dog. We sure did.
The most ancient dog breed in existence today
is the New Guinea highland wild dog.
They were believed to have gone extinct,
but a pack of New Guinea highland wild dogs have been
recently discovered.
That's great! Ha!
Good job, Pup Scouts!
What's our next mission, General Hot Dog?
Your next mission is going to be your most awesome yet.
We want you to learn about...
puppies!
Puppies?
Wow! Cool!
I'll be a bacon strip!
Can't wait to get started.
Whoo-hoo!
Greetings, Pup Scouts.

That's cooler than a cooled T-bone.
This is going to be an incredible adventure!
What can you tell us about puppies, General Hot Dog?
Well, Piper,
a puppy is a juvenile dog.
At birth, puppies can weigh anywhere
from less than a pound
up to about 23 pounds for larger breeds.
Dogs give birth to multiple offspring,
and puppies are born in groups
of anywhere from three to eight.
They call these groups of newborns "litters."
Puppies also don't waste time,
and they grow up fast.
Other changes can also occur as they grow,
like changes in fur color.
Wow!
I can't wait to find out more!
Puppies sound so interesting.
As you know, Boobear and Piper,
to win the annual Pup Scouts of the World,
you must find out and learn tons

Yes, General Hot Dog.
We will.

"What the woof" question? How cool!
What is the question?
I'm glad you asked, Piper.
This time, the "what the woof" question is,
"What was the largest
litter of puppies ever born?"
That's a great question, General Hot Dog.
We'll sniff out the answer in the wag of a puppy's tail.
You'll see.
I will assign you the best
Pup Scout helper in the world: Scuzzy Bot.

Pup Scouts, ready to get started on your next adventure?
- Super ready! - Ha, ha!
Is a Frisbee ready to fly?
Remember, Pup Scouts, any and all questions you have,
- I'm here to answer them. - Where do we begin?
Let's begin with all the ways in which
puppies are born all over the world, shall we?
Down there is the United States of America.
Let's go check out some puppies who live there.
Some puppies get lucky and are born into good homes
with families who are interested in breeding their animals.
This is one of the best ways
to introduce a little puppy into the world...
surrounded by loving people and a support system
for the big learning curve that comes with being born.
Puppies grow fast and can achieve
full-grown height and weight
in just a few weeks, depending upon their breed.
Sweet pork chops! That's amazing!
I'll be a kitty cat. I didn't know that.
Chances are good that most puppies will be taken care of,
as one in three American households
currently have a dog or puppy.
Cool! Hit my pup brain
with more totally cool facts, Scuzzy Bot.
Dogs gestate in the womb
at a much shorter rate than human babies,
and mommy dogs carry their puppies
for only about 60 days, or two months, before they're born.
Totally woof-tastic.
I know, right? And people who own dogs
treat those animals like members of the family, which they are.
Seventy percent of dog owners sign their pet's name
on holiday cards for friends and loved ones.
Amazing!
Do puppies also go to school, just like a human family's can?
Great question, Boobear.
While puppies don't go to school for reading,
writing or arithmetic, like human children,
they sometimes go do go to behavior training
and housebreaking classes.
So, yes, they kind of do go to school.
Whoa! Cool factoid.
So what is the best way for a good family
to find a puppy that's right for them?
There's more than one way to do that, Piper.
In fact, there's a wide variety of ways,
depending on the family, the puppy, and the situation.
Wow!
Can you tell us some of these ways, Scuzzy Bot?
I sure can. Unfortunately for puppies,
the world currently has a real homeless-animal problem,
and homeless animals outnumber homeless people five to one.
That's a bad ratio. But luckily,
more people are animal lovers than not,
so many homeless puppies find their way off the streets
and into good and loving homes.
Whoa, Scuzzy Bot. They're very lucky.
I'm so happy these poor little guys get a chance
to meet their forever person, who will love them.
Totally. How else can someone
meet the puppy of their dreams, Scuzzy Bot?
Excellent question, Boobear.
A person can also find their perfect puppy
through a variety of reputable breeders,
like the ones who are endorsed by groups
like the American Kennel Club or the Westminster Kennel Dog Club.
Wow! There are big organizations
that care that much about little puppies?
That's amazing, Scuzzy Bot!
Very good observation, Boobear.
There are actually many organizations
that focus on helping puppies and animals of all kinds.
Really? Who are they?
The Humane Society of the United States
and Humane Society International are just two who do a lot of good.
Then there's People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,
Friends of Animals, and Petfinder.
The A.S.P.C.A. is another one.
It stands for "The American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals."
Whoa! What types of stuff do they do?
They're a longtime leader in rescue, adoption and welfare
for puppies and other animals
who sometimes don't have people who want to take care of them.
I don't know who wouldn't want to take care
of a cute, cuddly little puppy.
Who wouldn't want to do that?
Good question, Boobear.
The unfortunate truth is, some people don't have the time,
skills, or interest in raising a puppy.
Puppies are a lot of work, in case you don't know.
And luckily for them, there are a lot more people
and organizations that do care and want to help.
And I've got a surprise for you guys.
We're about to drop in on some wonderful groups
who do great jobs training puppies
to grow up big and strong and good,
and live long lives with their people.
- Whoo-hoo! - Yay!
Here we are, Pup Scouts... puppy class 101.
This is just one place where puppies learn the basics...
basic training, if you will... of behavior and communication.
Look at all the toys and the treats! Where are we?
Welcome to a dog-training center, Piper.
Wow! What do they do here?
Well, some places offer grooming, training, boarding,
daycare and adoption services for recent puppy parents.
That sounds like they cover it all.
Pretty much, Piper. Some of these places offer
puppy and adult dog training classes at affordable prices.
They are run by a staff of experts
for interested pet owners.
After just a few classes,
any wild and wooly puppy can transform into
a well-behaved and good-mannered member of the family.
Wow! I'll be a dog biscuit. That's incredible!
Exactly what kinds of things do puppies learn
in puppy schooling, Scuzzy Bot?
That's a great question, Piper.
Puppies learn everything they need to join
a human owner or family's home,
but also the basics of how to behave
and be good dogs all by themselves.
As we know, some of the biggest issues with puppies
occur when they're left alone.
Hyperactivity, boredom,
confusion and fear
can lead to all kinds of behavioral problems,
especially if the puppy has access
to delicate things or breakables.
Sweet barbecue bones! I had no idea.
Sounds like schooling can come in handy in more ways than one.
How long do puppy classes usually last?
Excellent question, Piper.
I see you're paying close attention.
It depends on the puppy, but experts recommend
keeping puppy training sessions short...
no more than 15 minutes,
or even shorter, if the puppy has a short attention span.
If training runs too long,
energetic puppies stand a good chance
of getting distracted or bored,
and that's when most mistakes happen.
How long do people train puppies before the training takes effect
and becomes their new behavior, Scuzzy Bot?
It usually takes four to six months to train,
but sometimes takes as long as a year, Boobear.
Whoa! Beagle brain blast! That's incredible!
I have a question!
If puppies are born in litters of multiple numbers,
that could make for a whole class full of rowdy puppies.
What's the biggest litter of puppies ever born, Scuzzy Bot?
The biggest litter of puppies
ever born is 24,
to a Neapolitan mastiff named Tia
on November 29, 2004, in the United Kingdom.
And Tia's full name is
Abellatino Arabella.
Hey, Piper, I think we just found the answer
to General Hot Dog's "what the woof" question.
You're right, Boobear. The largest litter of puppies
ever born is 24.
Congratulations on finding the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question, Pup Scouts
General Hot Dog will be proud of you,

What can you tell us about how dogs help man, General Hot Dog?
Dogs are the first domesticated species in history,
and they've been purposely bred over the centuries
for various desirable traits.
Physical traits, behavioral traits and sensory traits
all endear dogs to humans
and strengthen the bonds between them,
historically making the dog valued,
revered and loved.
Wow! I can't wait to find out more.
How dogs help man... sounds so interesting.
As you know, Boobear and Piper,

How cool. What is the question?
Well, for some time, dogs have been used
to aid man in medical areas.
One of the most prominent and helpful of these
have been dogs that are specifically trained
to help the blind to see.
Today's "what the woof" question is this:
"Who was history's very first
Seeing Eye dog?"
That's a great question, General Hot Dog.
We'll sniff out the answer in the wag of a puppy's tail. You'll see.

Is a Frisbee ready to fly?
Remember, Pup Scouts,
any and all questions you have, I'm here to answer them.
- Where do we begin? - I'm glad you asked.
Let's begin with some of the most feel-good stories we can find
where dogs haven't only helped humans, they've saved lives.
It's no secret that dog and man form a bond
as strong... and at times greater... than people do with each other.
Humans can sometimes be complicated creatures,
but dogs, not so much.
With dogs, you always know where you stand.
The dog is a natural companion animal,
and if a dog likes you, you'll be inseparable.
Likewise, if a dog doesn't like you, you'll know that too.
Dogs wear their hearts on their s...
um... sleeves, and in times of distress,
it's not uncommon for dogs to risk their lives for their human families.
Incredible.
My little puppy mind is officially blown.
I'll be a burger patty. I didn't know that!
Oh, it's true, Boobear. It's all true.
In emergencies, natural disasters,
or just instances of plain, old trouble,
dogs have come up big for the people in their lives.
Let's take a look at some downright heroic dogs
and the amazing things they've done to help man
in times of need or distress.
Incredible. Hit me with more super facts, Scuzzy Bot.
Life can be unpredictable
and sometimes dangerous when things happen beyond our control.
Natural disasters like fire,
floods and earthquakes can't be controlled,
only dealt with as best people can.
And sometimes they need a little extra help
dealing with problems that arise.
This is where dogs have come up big over the years,
alerting man to danger
and even saving the lives of their loved ones.
Totally incredible!
Dogs have woken sleeping people up to alert them to trouble,
and in some really bad cases, they've led man to safety.
Without their dogs, these people might have died.
Amazing! How do dogs possess the quality
to lead people of of, say, a burning building?
Great question, Boobear.
There are a few different answers.
Dogs have better eyesight than humans do,
with large pupils and a better ability
to process light, or the lack thereof.
If it's dark, or if smoke from a fire makes it hard to see,
a wide-eyed dog can come in real handy.
Whoa. Cool factoid.
What other super senses do dogs have?
I'm glad you asked, Piper.
Along with their exceptional eyesight,
dogs can also hear much better than humans.
With super sensitive ears, dogs can register sounds
way before man's audio spectrum,
and they have mobile ears
that are able to pinpoint the exact source of any sound
by using an array of muscles that lift, lower,
tilt and pivot their ears.
And dogs are also able to pick up sounds
at four times the distance that a human can.
Sounds like dogs practically have super powers.
What other special senses do dogs possess, Scuzzy Bot?
A supercharged sense of smell
also helps dogs to do all kinds of cool things, Boobear.
Smell receptors dominate a dog's brain,
much like visual receptors dominate man's brain.
Dogs have approximately 40 times
more smell sensitivity than humans do,
allowing them to detect a scent's direction
and track its source.
But how does strength of smell allow a dog
to track down the source of that smell?
Excellent question, Boobear.
A dog's wet nose allows it to detect
the air breeze that contains a particular scent.
Does that explain why so many lost dogs
are able to find their ways home, Scuzzy Bot?
Very good observation, Boobear. That's exactly why.
If a dog gets out of its yard and wanders its neighborhood,
it can still use the scent of home to find its way back,
provided the dog hasn't roamed so far that it loses that scent.
That's never fun, and usually requires a good Samaritan
to find and return the dog to its owner.
What about tracking people, Scuzzy Bot?
Do dogs ever do that?
They sure do. Dogs track
all kinds of people, and things too.
In the law-enforcement world, dogs are often used
to track down escaped prisoners
and return them to jail to finish their sentences.
Whoa! Do dogs ever track good people too?
They do indeed, Piper. They've tracked missing children,
helped guide lost hikers out of the woods,
and even gotten medical help for injured people.
Dogs track everything, all the time,
for all kinds of reasons.
It's a skill they don't really turn off.
Like a basic instinct.
- Or a super power. - Absolutely.
- Whoo-hoo! - Yay!
Here we are, Pup Scouts. Take a look around.
This is where dogs help man the most.
Looks like any other city on any other day to me.
That's because it is, Piper.
Most dogs share their lives with man,
so when trouble arises or help is needed,
who's usually the first on the scene? Dogs!
Makes sense, Scuzzy Bot.
But-But how many emergencies
do average people face in a day?
Uh, it depends on what we consider emergencies, Boobear.
Some people just need a little help finding their lost car keys.
Enter, one sensitive-snouted canine.
That's crazy. No wonder they call dogs "man's best friend."
Indeed, Piper.
Guard dogs have also come in handy for humans,
protecting homes and businesses from break-ins and theft.
Then, on the other hand, someone might need help
escaping a dangerous flood.
A heroic dog can certainly come in handy there too, and has.
Wow!
I'll be a dog biscuit. That's incredible!
Fires, floods, and lost car keys.
That covers a lot of the ways someone can be helped.
Just how did dogs and humans develop
such a strong bond anyway?
That's a great question, Piper.
The domestic relationship between dog and man
has been traced back about 13,000 years.
Based on archeological findings, including
dog bones buried near, and sometimes with, human remains,
it's been concluded that the relationship between dogs and man
has been developing almost from the very beginning.
Sweet barbecue bones! I had no idea.
Do you think a dog's instinct to be a part of a pack
figures into their close relationship with humans?
Do they actually see man as a member of their pack?
Excellent question, Piper.
I see you're paying close attention.
It's true that dogs instinctively want to bond with a pack.
The inborn desire to bond could be a reason
why they express such unconditional loyalty
and affection for humans.
Wow! Do dogs think man is like them?
Just another weird-looking dog?
Interesting question, Boobear.
Dogs know the difference between themselves and man,
but research suggests that the closer the relationship,
like a single owner with a dog who gets
all their attention, for instance, the more likely it is
that the dog views itself as equal to man.
Whoa! Beagle brain blast!
- That's incredible! - I have a question.
We heard that dogs are often used in medical rehabilitation,
like helping the blind to see.
Do you know, who was the very first
Seeing Eye dog, Scuzzy Bot?
As a matter of fact, I do, Boobear.
The world's first Seeing Eye guide dog
was a female German shepherd named Kiss,
but renamed Buddy after training to assist her new owner,
a man named Morris Frank.
Buddy helped Mr. Frank to get around in the world again,
with activities like crossing busy streets,
using staircases, and opening doors...
things that had been previously un-doable by a blind man.
Hey, Piper, I think we just found the answer
to General Hot Dog's "what the woof" question.
You're right, Boobear. The world's first
Seeing Eye guide dog was Buddy, belonging to Mr. Morris Frank.
Congratulations on finding the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question, Pup Scouts.
General Hot Dog will be proud of you.
No bones about it.
Fantastic work, Pup Scouts.
Your mission was a great success.
You're well on your way to winning
the prestigious Smartest Pooch award...
and all the bones
you can eat for a year!
Tail-waggin' awesome!
Say, were you able to find out the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question?
Yes, General Hot Dog. We sure did.
The world's first Seeing Eye guide dog was named Buddy.
And Buddy helped a blind man named Morris Frank.
That's great!
Good job, Pup Scouts!
What's our next mission, General Hot Dog?
Your next mission is going to be
the most awesome yet.
We want you to learn about
different dog breeds.
Dog breeds? Wow! Cool!
I'll be a bacon strip. Can't wait to get started.
Ears flappin'.
Tail wiggling.
Pup Scouts are ready for the chase, General Hot Dog.
Whoo-hoo!
Greetings, Pup Scouts.
Hey, General Hot Dog.
Piper, Boobear, it's time
for the annual Pup Scouts of the World contest,
where teams compete for the chance to win
the prestigious Smartest Pooch award
and all the bones you can eat for a year.
Your job is to chase,
fetch and report
all there is to know about dogs,
puppies, and everything in between.
You will travel all over the world,
across time, space and beyond.
You must keep your nose to the wind,
your ears perked,
and your paws to the wheel at all times.
We depend on you to do the best job possible.
Are you ready for your first assignment?
- Tail wiggling. - Ears flappin'.
Pup Scouts are ready for the chase, General Hot Dog.
This is sure to be
a challenging mission, little ones.
Succulent wishbones!
I love challenging missions.
Slappin' tails, me too!
I'm sending you two on a mission to learn about
dog breeds!
- Dog breeds. How cool. - Can't wait!
It's up to you to learn all about it,
and report back to me with what you've discovered.
Sweet barbecue sauce!
This is going to be an incredible adventure!
What can you tell us about dog breeds, General Hot Dog?
Now, that's
a broad question, Piper.
There are many different dog breeds in the world,
all distinguishable by types
and their unique traits and characteristics.
There are way too many to list
off the top of my head, actually.
Wow! I can't wait to find out more.
Lots and lots of different dog breeds. Sounds so interesting.
As you know, Boobear and Piper, to win
the annual Pup Scouts of the World,
you must find out and learn
tons of amazing facts about dogs.
- Yes, General Hot Dog. - We will.
Awesome!
You must also know there is a question
that all the brightest canine minds
all over the world
have not been able to answer about dog breeds.
We need you two Pup Scouts
to help us answer
the "what the woof" question about dog breeds.
"What the woof" question? How cool!
What is the question?
The question is, "What dog
was the world's first mixed-breed dog?"
By "mixed-breed," I mean
a dog born from mating
two different purebred dogs
to make a new breed
containing characteristics of both the mother
and the father dog!
That's a great question, General Hot Dog.
We'll sniff out the answer in the wag of a puppy's tail.
You'll see.
I will assign you the best
Pup Scout helper in the world: Scuzzy Bot.
He's a robotic encyclopedia of canine knowledge.
He will assist you on your mission.
Scuzzy Bot! We love Scuzzy Bot!
Be sure to ask a lot of questions, Pup Scouts.
You have a prestigious Smartest Pooch award to win,
and all the bones
you can eat for a year!
Have an amazing adventure, you two.
All right!
Pup Scouts...
Hurray!
Pup Scouts, ready to get started on your next adventure?
- Super ready! - Ha, ha!
Is a Frisbee ready to fly?
Remember, Pup Scouts, any and all questions you have,
- I'm here to answer them. - Where do we begin?
Where else? Let's begin at the most fun place to see
different dog breeds on parade
and one of the big three major competitive dog shows
in the United States, the National Dog Show!
I'll be a hot dog without mustard. I didn't know that.
Starting way back in 1879,
it was originally known as the Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Show.
the Kennel Club of Philadelphia
was one of the founding clubs of the American Kennel Club,
who we previously learned about, if you recall.
In 2002, NBC began airing
the annual the Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Show
every Thanksgiving Day,
and they renamed it the National Dog Show.
Sweet pork chops! That's amazing!
I'll be a kitty cat. I didn't know that.
Oh, well, there you go, Boobear.
The show has been put on every year
since its inception in 1879,
with the exception of a break during America's Great Depression
from 1928 through 1932.
And the show traditionally features
a dazzling array of dog breeds...
more dog breeds than I can even remember.
You name the breed,
and it's probably appeared here throughout the years.
Incredible!
Hit my puppy brain with more incredible facts, Scuzzy Bot.
The National Dog Show has hosted some of the most fun
and funniest dog breeds ever displayed to the public.
Every breed's traits, strengths,
endearing qualities and quirks are on full display at this show.
And with an impressive network TV audience of over
20 million viewers, the dog breeds that compete
at the National Dog Show get a lot of attention.
- Totally woof-tastic. - It sure is, Piper.
And just some of the dogs that have won the competition
in recent years reads like a who's who
of barking superstars.
Breeds like the American foxhound,
the bloodhound, Skye terrier, the greyhound,
the wire fox terrier, the Irish setter, Scottish setter,
the pointer, Australian shepherd and toy poodles
have all claimed the dog show's highest prize: Best in Show.
Amazing!
Have any mixed dog breeds ever won
Best in Show at the National Dog Show?
Great question, Boobear.
But no. Mixed-breed or crossbreed dogs
are specifically banned from competing in the National Dog Show,
which showcases only the best
100% purebred dogs it can find.
You don't say? That sounds great
for purebred dogs, but not so much for crossbreeds,
who surely are just as beautiful, impressive,
talented and lovable, right, Scuzzy Bot?
Right, Piper. And funny you mention it, because
dog lovers the world over recognized exactly that,
which is why there are now mixed-breed dog show competitions,
showcasing the best mutts
from around the world.
Whoa!
Tell us about some of these dog shows.
And who are the dogs who've won them, Scuzzy Bot?
Absolutely, Boobear. The mixed-breed dog clubs of America
have made great strides in including
some amazing crossbred dogs
in high-level competitions.
Some prominent groups, events, and championship games
that now focus on mixed-breed dogs
are the United Kennel Club, Classic Canine Games,
the Mixed-Breed Clubs of America,
and the North American Flyball Association.
Whoa, Scuzzy Bot, that factoid is cooler
than a popsicle after a run.
So, do the major dog clubs now recognize
these previously ignored mixed breeds, Scuzzy Bot?
Great question, Boobear.
And the answer is, yes. Since 2010,
the American Kennel Club has included
clearly mixed breeds in its competitions,
delighting dog lovers the world over.
That's awesome! After all,
a dog's skill, beauty and intelligence
shouldn't be confined only to pure breeding, right Scuzzy Bot?
Very good point, Boobear. That's right.
In fact, some very notable and popular dog breeds
have appeared as a result of crossbreeding,
and many of these dogs are actually healthier
than the strictly purebred ones.
Yowza! Can you tell us about some of them?
I can do better than that, Piper. Why don't we take a look?
- Whoa! Can we? - Sure, we can.
Here we go!
Uh, it kinda feels
like we're heading into Frankenstein's laboratory.
Nothing to worry about, Boobear.
Designer dogs, as some people call them,
are every bit as loyal and lovable as pure breeds.
Come on. Let's check 'em out and see.
- Whoo-hoo! - Yay!
Here we are, Pup Scouts: designer dog paradise.
A crossbreeding wonderland.
Holy burger balls.
What's that one over there?
Ah, that's the Frankenstein terrier, Piper.
The what?
I'm only kidding, Boobear.
These dogs are some of the cutest,
most unique mutts you'll find anywhere.
- Let's meet them, shall we? - As long as they don't bite.
They don't bite, right?
No, they don't bite, Piper.
Take this little guy, for instance.
This one's lovingly referred to as a dorgi.
That's a Dalmatian and a corgi, for your information.
And we have here a pitsky... pit bull and husky.
And while we're here, we mustn't ignore the chusky... chow chow and husky.
And look over there at that one.
That's a Labsky... Labrador retriever and husky.
Wow! I'll be a chew toy. That's amazing!
It looks like huskies are popular in crossbreeding.
Are any other dog breeds mixed often?
That's a great question, Piper! Truth is,
the combinations are endless.
There we have the absolutely adorable Chug... Chihuahua and pug...
and the cuddle-icious Dalmuchsund... Dalmatian and dachshund,
Then there's the Yorkiepoo,
the corman shepherd, and on and on.
Amazing bouncing balls! I had no idea!
Is it safe to cross breed any dog, Scuzzy Bot,
or are there health risks involved?
Excellent question, Piper. I see you're paying close attention.
Studies have actually found a few more
genetic defects in purebreds than in mixed breeds.
But overall, there seems to be no recurring trends
in the genetic health or illness of a dog
based on crossbreeding alone.
So by all accounts, it is not dangerous to mix dog breeds.
Leftover-licious, that's great!
By contrast, some pure breeds
experience negative health trends that are quite unpleasant
and sometimes even life-threatening.
Great Danes' hearts sometimes struggle
to support their giant bodies.
King Charles spaniels are sometimes born
with heads too small for their brains,
and a reported 60% of golden retrievers contract cancer.
So while purebreds remain as popular as ever at dog shows,
there can be risks in maintaining those perfect breed standards.
Whoa, I'm just blown away. I didn't realize that.
I have a question.
What was the first-ever mixed-breed dog, Scuzzy Bot?
Good question. And I have a two-part answer for you, Boobear.
The very first mutt, or mixed-breed dog,
is actually impossible to know.
From the beginning, dogs have crossbred
and been intentionally crossbred to create stronger breeds
more suited to particular tasks with specific desired traits.
Even purebred dogs are the result of early crossbreeding,
and only designated pure by modern sanctioning bodies,
like the American Kennel Club, who applied what they called
a breed standard to the animal.
By those modern standards, I can tell you who the first
mixed-breed dog show champion was.
Her name was Katie Lee,
a former shelter dog who, in April 2010,
became the first-ever mutt to win an AKC title.
Hey, Piper, I think we just found the answer
to General Hot Dog's "what the woof" question.
You're right, Boobear. There's no way to know the first mixed-breed dog,
but Katie Lee was the first one to win a championship under modern rules.
Congratulations on finding the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question, Pup Scouts.
General Hot Dog will be proud of you, no bones about it.
Fantastic work, Pup Scouts.
Your mission was a great success.
You're well on your way to winning the prestigious
Smartest Pooch award and...
all the bones
you can eat for a year!
Ball-bouncin' awesome!
Were you able to find the answer to this mission's
"what the woof" question?
Yes, General Hot Dog. We sure did.
There's no way to know who was the first mixed-breed dog.
But a former shelter dog named Katie Lee
was the very first American Kennel Club-certified
mixed-breed champion.
That's great!
Good job, Pup Scouts.
What's our next mission, General Hot Dog?
Your next mission is going to be
your most awesome yet.
We want you to learn about
Chinese chow chows and pugs!
Chinese chow chows and pugs?
- Super awesome! -Cool. Can't wait to get started.
Tail wiggling.
Ears flappin'.
Pup Scouts are ready for the chase, General Hot Dog.
- Whoo-hoo! - Whoo-hoo!
- Greetings, Pup Scouts. - Hey, General Hot Dog.
- Piper, Boobear,
it's time for the annual Pup Scouts of the World contest,
where teams compete for the chance to win
the prestigious Smartest Pooch award
and all the bones you can eat for a year.
Your job is to chase, fetch and report
all there is to know about dogs,

- Chow chows and pugs? How cool! - Can't wait!
It's up to you to learn all about it
and report back to me with what you've discovered.
Sweet barbecue sauce!
This is going to be an incredible adventure!
What can you tell us about chow chows and pugs, General Hot Dog?
The chow chow is a dog breed from northern China.
In China, it's referred to as songshi quan,
which means "puffy lion dog."
The pug is also from China, and it was brought to Europe
way back in the 16th century,
where it achieved great popularity through the royal families,
particularly the United Kingdom's Queen Victoria.
Wow! I can't wait to find out more.
Chow chows and pugs? Sounds so interesting.
As you know, Boobear and Piper,
to win the annual Pup Scouts of the World,
you must find out and learn
tons of amazing facts about dogs.
- Yes, General Hot Dog. - We will.
Awesome!
You must also know that there is a question
that all the brightest canine minds
all over the world
have not been able to answer about
chow chows and pugs!
We need you two Pup Scouts
to help us answer the "what the woof" question
about dog breeds!
"What the woof" question? How cool. What is the question?
The "what the woof" question is this:
"Can you name one physical trait
that is found in both chow chows and pugs?"
That's a great question, General Hot Dog.
We'll sniff out the answer in the wag of a puppy's tail.
You'll see.
I will assign you the best
Pup Scout helper in the world: Scuzzy Bot.
He's a robotic encyclopedia of canine knowledge.
He will assist you on your mission.
Scuzzy Bot! We love Scuzzy Bot!
Be sure to ask a lot of questions, Pup Scouts.
You have a prestigious
Smartest Pooch award to win,
and all the bones you can eat for a year!
Have an amazing adventure, you two.
All right!
Pup Scouts...
Hurray!
Pup Scouts!
Ready to get started on your next adventure?
Super ready.
Is a Frisbee ready to fly?
Remember, Pup Scouts, any and all questions you have,
I'm here to answer them.
- Where do we begin? - We're going on a journey, Pup Scouts.
Today, we'll begin where both of these
great dog breeds began: China.
Here we are, Pup Scouts...
the homeland of both chow chows and pugs...
the country of China.
With a huge population of over one billion people,
it's big and busy.
Chow chows and pugs go back a long way,
as both of them are considered ancient dog breeds.
Sweet pork chops! That's amazing!
I'll be a hot dog without mustard. I didn't know that.
Oh, there's a lot to know about chow chows and pugs, Boobear.
- So let's get to learning. - Incredible!
Hit my puppy brain with more info, Scuzzy Bot.
Let's find out more.
Both of these dogs have such interesting
and varied histories, yet in some ways,
they're not as different as they look.
Both chow chows and pugs were big favorites
of the early monarchies and royal families.
Amazing!
Why did kings and queens like them so much, Scuzzy Bot?
Great question, Boobear. As we know,
every dog is a loyal friend to someone in their life.
But chow chows are known for their loyalty
above most else... so much so,
that they were used as palace guards
in ancient China, Mongolia and Tibet.
Wow. Cool bit of chow info.
Can you tell us what cool stuff pugs have done?
I sure can. Whereas chow chows have a reputation
for being fierce to strangers, pugs have a reputation
for being gentle, sociable, and intuitive to their owners' moods.
Early Chinese emperors valued their pugs so greatly
that the dogs had their own palace guards.
Jumpin' jerky treats!
So, chow chows worked as guards,
and pugs had guards.
Did a chow chow ever guard a pug, Scuzzy Bot?
I'm not sure, Boobear,
but it's certainly possible.
Although the pug was also employed
as a guard dog throughout the 16th and 17th centuries,
after one famous pug named Pompeii saved the life
of Europe's Prince of Orange in 1572
by warning him of approaching assassins.
Chow chows and pugs sure sound loyal, and smart too!
Do they do well in training?
Excellent question, Boobear.
Chow chows are actually known for being resistant to training
and kind of stubborn unless they're taught well from a very young age.
As they get older, they're known to become attached
and overly protective of one family member,
unless they receive dedicated and regular socialization.
Interesting. And what about pugs, Scuzzy Bot?
They seem too cute and cuddly to be antisocial.
Very good observation, Boobear.
Pugs actually have a reputation for being lazy
and can spend a lot of time napping
if they don't have the proper stimulation.
A big family with lots of action and attention suits them well.
Unlike chow chows, they're great with children
and the perfect size to play
without anyone getting accidentally hurt.
That's awesome. Pugs sound pretty low-maintenance.
In some ways they are, Piper,
but in some other ways, they require a lot of maintenance.
You see, pugs have some unique physical traits
that make them prone to health problems
that other dogs don't have to worry about.
Whoa. Like what, Scuzzy Bot?
Well, on account of their short, mashed snouts,
pugs are subject to breathing problems, allergies,
and something called "reverse sneezing."
Reverse sneezing?
You mean, they sneeze into their own mouths?
No, Boobear. Reverse sneezing
is characterized by loud gasping and snorting
that makes it look like a dog's choking.
These episodes usually aren't harmful,
but other genetic pug issues could lead to blocked airways
that make the dog pass out or overheat.
With a little regular care and maintenance,
these conditions can be overcome,
allowing the pug to lead a normal lifespan
of about 11 years,
though the oldest known pug lived to be 20.
Look at those chow chows. Let's check 'em out.
Here we are, Pup Scouts...
a genuine Chinese chow chow kennel,
complete with oodles of the cute little buggers, and big buggers!
They do it all here, from breeding to training to competitive showing
to finding these dogs their forever homes.
Wow. I can see a lot of the traits you mentioned, Scuzzy Bot.
Chow chows really are loyal,
playful and ferocious, all at once.
That they are, and then some, Piper,
all rolled up in a cute, super-fuzzy ball of impressive canine.
Hopping hot hamburger patties, look at that one!
What's that chow doing over there?
It looks like he's ready to go play, Boobear.
Chow chows sure can be funny when they want to be.
Oh, don't let their stoic guard-dog traits fool you, Piper.
Chows can be downright goofy. Take a look at that crazy one.
Wow! I'll be a dog biscuit. That's incredible!
Are there pug kennels too, where pugs can be bred,
raised, trained and adopted?
That's a great question, Piper! Yes, there sure are pug kennels.
As a matter of fact, turn around.
There happens to be one right over there.
Sweet bones of delight! You're right!
Mighty marrow bone chews!
Pugs are so darn cute and cuddly.
I almost can't stand it!
Say, why are some pugs beige while others are black?
Are those the only two colors a pug comes in?
Excellent question, Piper! I see you're paying close attention.
Those two colors, known as black and fawn,
are generally the most common pug coat colors,
and also the only two colors recognized by the the American Kennel Club,
although pug coats can and do span a spectrum of colors,
including shades of silver and gold.
Cool! So do chow chows also
come in more colors than the black and golden brown we often see?
Absolutely, Boobear.
Chows generally appear in five different coat colors:
black, cinnamon, red, blue and cream.
They're usually just as fluffy, though, no matter what color they are.
Whoa! Total brain blast. That's incredible!
I have a question. Besides hailing from China
and being loyal to their families,
do chow chows and pugs have any specific traits in common, Scuzzy Bot?
Hmm. You bet they do, Boobear.
Both chow chows and pugs
share the common trait of a blue, black or spotted tongue.
Thirty percent of purebred dogs share this distinctive trait,
and the chow chow and pug are within that percentage.
Hey, Piper, I think we just found the answer
to General Hot Dog's "what the woof" question.
You're right, Boobear. Chow chows and pugs both
both share the tendency for blue, black or spotted tongues.
Congratulations on finding the answer
to this mission's "what the woof" question, Pup Scouts.
General Hot Dog will be proud of you.
No bones about it.
Fantastic work, Pup Scouts.
Your mission was a great success.
You're well on your way to winning
the prestigious Smartest Pooch award
and...
all the bones you can eat for a year!
Tail-waggin' awesome!
Were you able to find the answer to this mission's
"what the woof" question?
Yes, General Hot Dog, we did.
Chow chows and pugs both share the tendency
for blue, black or spotted tongues.
Thirty percent of pure breeds have this characteristic,
including the chow chows and the pugs.
That's great!
Good job, Pup Scouts!
What's our next mission, General Hot Dog?
Your next mission is going to be your most awesome yet.
We want you to learn about
French bulldogs and poodles!
French bulldogs and poodles? Wow, cool!
I'll be a squeaky toy. Can't wait to get started.
- Tail wiggling. - Ears flappin'.
Pup Scouts are ready for the chase, General Hot Dog.
