Dogs 101


Dogs 101. Produced by the Animal Planet.

Plot: Much like the title suggests, Dogs 101 discusses the basics of popular dog breeds. Each episode focuses on three breeds. The history, disposition, needs, and special features of each breed finds exposure in each segment. At the end of the discussion, the narration reviews the breed's housing, health, grooming, training, and family needs.

Genre: Documentary, Animals

Reading Level: I think it's rated TVY

Similar Titles: Cats 101, Breed all about It

Personal Thoughts: It reminds me of an updated Eyewitness Video, and that is a very good thing. While the information is not especially in-depth, it is not meant to be. Instead, it offers a solid overview of the breed from trainers, breeders, veterinarians, and groomers. As such, it may lead to an initial understanding of the breed and alert potential owners to suitable and not-so-suitable breeds for their situation.
