The Sandwich tern ("Thalasseus sandvicensis") is a tern in the family Laridae.
 It is very closely related to the lesser crested tern ("T. bengalensis"), Chinese crested tern ("T. bernsteini"), Cabot's tern ("T. acuflavidus"), and elegant tern ("T. elegans") and has been known to interbreed with the lesser crested.
The Catahoula Cur is an American dog breed named after Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, United States.
 Also known as the Catahoula Leopard Dog, it became the state dog of Louisiana in 1979.
 The breed is sometimes referred to as the "Catahoula Hound" or "Catahoula Leopard Hound" because of its spots, although it is not a true hound but a cur.
 It is also called the "Catahoula Hog Dog", reflecting its traditional use in hunting wild boar.
Follicular dysplasia is a genetic disease of dogs causing alopecia, or hair loss.
 It is caused by hair follicles that are misfunctioning due to structural abnormality.
 There are several types, some affecting only certain breeds.
 Diagnosis is achieved through a biopsy, and treatment is rarely successful.
 Certain breeds, such as the Mexican Hairless Dog and Chinese Crested Dog, are bred specifically for alopecia.
Bakhmull is an Aboriginal Afghan Hound belonging to an ancient group of oriental sighthounds.
 The Afghan Royal Family were the only humans who possessed this breed.
 The bakhmull tazi (tazi means " fast running sighthound" ) is a long haired variety of sighthounds in Afghanistan.
 There are two more: Luchak tazi short haired like sloughi and Khalagh tazi with moderate long hair on ears, shoulders, elbows and thighs.Bakhmull tazi has developed in the mountain areas of Mid and Central Asia - ancient Punjab, Paunchala, "Five river land".
 This dog breed roots back presumably in the ancient Indian Harappa( Mohenjo Daro) civilization 2300 - 1700 B.C.
 If translated from Pashto (Afghan) the word "bakhmull" means "velvet" due to its incredible silky velvet, long, ivory color hair of the coat, rather abundant and long on the whole body, because it is a mountain oriental sighthound, except the "saddle", front parts of four legs and the muzzle.
 Its color is always fawn, ivory or white with a darker "saddle", thus it produces an impression of a fawn (yellowish) dog which coat color is protective khaki that matches sandstone and limestone of the Hindu Kush mountain landscape and deserts.
 Following colors are not permissible: red, red with white spots, black and black with white spots.
 Bakhmulls hunt the wild ram, ibex (wild mountain goat), hare, fox, wolf, jackal, wild big cats, in old times leopard, but never birds.
 They are also good guards; they guard homes and flocks of sheep.
 They hunt solo, in couples and rarely in packs.
 Since the 1980s the centre of Bakhmull breeding is in Russia, "The Blue Dale el Bark Bakhmull" Moscow, where they are spread all over the former Soviet Republics and various regions.
 The foundation stock was brought to Russia in the 70s by military men from Afghanistan.
 Breed Standard for tazi BAKHMULL (aboriginal Afghan Hound) was adopted in Moscow, Russia (since Russia has become the 2nd motherland of bakhmulls) first in 1985 and later after detailed elaboration in 1997 (RFOS-RKF).
Twelve states of the United States have designated an official state dog breed.
 Maryland was the first state to name a dog breed as a state symbol, naming the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in 1964.
 Pennsylvania followed the year after, naming the Great Dane as its official breed.
 Dog breeds are mostly affiliated with the states that they originated in.
 North Carolina chose the Plott Hound as it was the only dog breed indigenous to the state.
The Chinese crested tern ("Thalasseus bernsteini") is a tern in the family Laridae, closely related to the Sandwich tern, "T. sandvicensis", and the lesser crested tern, "T. bengalensis".
 It is most similar to the former, differing only in the bill pattern, which is the reverse of the Sandwich tern's, being yellow with a black tip.
 From the lesser crested tern, which it overlaps in wintering distribution, it can be told by the white rump and paler grey mantle, as well as the black tip to the bill, which seen from up close also has a white point.
 The larger greater crested tern is also similar, differing in its stouter, all-yellow bill and darker grey mantle and rump, as well as in size.

A breed standard (also called bench standard or the standard) in the dog fancy is a set of guidelines covering specific "externally observable" qualities such as "appearance", "movement", and "temperament" for that dog breed.
 Breed standards are not scientific documents, but are written for each breed by clubs of hobbyists called breed clubs for their own specific requirements.
 Details and definitions within breed standards for a specific dog breed may vary from breed club to breed club and from country to country.
 Dog breed standards are similar in form and function to breed standards for other domesticated animals.
