But yeah, in terms of the basil breeds, there's, I don't know how many, were there 16 or 11?

16.

16.

Yeah.

So there's basically the first dogs that were, that we created, the first breeds.

And it's like the chow.

Is it the Shiba Inu?

A lot of them were Asian, started in Asia.

The Canaan dog in, I guess, Africa.

That's just what all our dogs today have a bit of in them.

If you do any of these DNA tests, you'll see there's always a sliver of chow in every dog.

And so it's just interesting history lesson.

If you look at the breed that they all started with a select few.

I think they're of the variety of types of dogs they are in the most these are called confirmation shows as meaning that the dogs there's a very specific description of what each breed

should be, quote, should be.

And so the dogs that conform to that the most should be the ones that win.

So you have bloodhounds, you have Irish setters, you have Newfoundlands, you have poodles, pugs, shizus, bichons, the list goes on and on.

And so each of the, what they call them, fanciers, dog fanciers,

have chosen a breed that they love and have dedicated their life to showing them in this elite level, Westminster Dog Show, Crufts in England, and the National Dog Show in Pennsylvania.

to try and preserve their breed and to create the epitome of what these breed standards are.
