1. THose yappy things dont count as dogs.
2. Aforementioned yappy dog = FOOD
3. The dogs the romans had are probably interbred with others now.
4. On another note I have a wheaten terrier, not a bright dog but loyal and good for hunting.

Speaking of small dogs, I just came across a website which said in reference to words cave canem, "I am reliably informed, was not to warn people to avoid being bitten originally but so they would avoid stepping on the creature as they mainly had small dogs for pets."
I don't think so...

I have owned a dalmation a doberman and a jack russel at the same time and the jack russel by far was the boss. He could turn the doberman inside out by biting at his feet causing the dob a lot of distress. By far the jack was the more vicous and once put a man off my veranda by jumping at his """. So please don't put down small dogs such as the jack as they can be quite hard to handle when on the attack especially when you have more than one coming at you.They work as a team...

I remember the cast of the dog from Pompeii, who was a thin, border collie sized dog.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
