And when we bring them into captivity, we typically feed them in the way that promotes very quick eating, you know, for just a fraction of that time. And that can then lead to problem behavior. So for me... I think horses are probably one of the captive animal species where for many individual horses, the type of life that we're offering is really not that great.

So I think I can't really answer the first part of that question. I don't know the extent to which different dog breeds, their sensory capabilities, how much that differs between different dog breeds. However, how to interact with different dog breeds, I think that's a really interesting question. So during the process of domestication and in just the last couple of hundred years really,

we started selecting for different capabilities in the different dogs that we needed for different tasks, essentially. So if we look at a wolf hunting sequence, what they'll do is they'll do an orient response where they sniff and they're sort of looking for a prey. And then they will do some eyeing and stalking behavior. So they'll focus and they'll do stalking and then they'll do chasing.

And then they'll do a grab bite, a killing bite. Then they'll dissect and then they'll eat the prey. So we have this whole predatory sequence that we see in wolves. And what happened during the process of domestication was that we sort of selected for certain aspects of that sequence in different breeds. So we'll have the sniffers, the hounds that are really great.

And I guess maybe that answers your first question. I think that probably all dog breeds enjoy sniffing. It's one of the big things that people are exploring a lot now is nose work. But anyway, back to this process of domestication. And then we had the pointers who we have really selected for that behavior. In the litter of puppies, we would select the one that was the most...

prone to do that behavior. And so over generations, we really sculpted that niche, so to speak. So a pointer will typically not proceed to the next behavior, the predatory sequence. And then we have like the border collies who might do some chasing or some eyeing and stalking and a little bit of chase, but ideally no grabbing. And we have the pure chasers, the greyhounds, for instance.

They were bred to exterminate small rodents and stuff.
