  • 2. 

    Dogs are highly adaptable in terms of diet.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dogs are highly adaptable in terms of diet because they are omnivores, meaning they can eat both meat and plant-based foods. This adaptability allows them to survive and thrive on a variety of diets, including commercial dog food, homemade meals, or a combination of both. Additionally, dogs have a digestive system that can break down and absorb nutrients from different types of food, making them capable of adjusting to different dietary needs and preferences.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Inadequate feeding is uncommon, particularly among breeders.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that inadequate feeding is rare, especially among breeders. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that inadequate feeding is actually common, even among breeders. This implies that breeders, like other individuals, may also face challenges in providing adequate nutrition to their animals.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Desexing should take place at _______ of age, before the female has her first season.

    • 6 or 7 months

    • 4 or 5 months

    • 5 or 6 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 or 6 months
    Explanation
    Desexing should take place at 5 or 6 months of age, before the female has her first season. This is because desexing at this age helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduces the risk of certain health issues such as mammary tumors and uterine infections. Waiting until after the first season increases the chances of the female becoming pregnant and also makes the surgery more complex and potentially riskier. Therefore, it is recommended to desex the female cat at 5 or 6 months of age.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    An adult dog requires about 10g of food per 650g of body-weight.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because an adult dog requires about 10g of food per 1kg of body weight, not per 650g.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Young puppies up to ______ of age should be allowed to exercise themselves.

    • 4 months

    • 5 months

    • 6 months

    • 7 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 months
    Explanation
    Young puppies up to 6 months of age should be allowed to exercise themselves. This is because puppies are still growing and developing during this time, and excessive exercise can put strain on their developing bones and joints. Allowing puppies to exercise at their own pace helps prevent injuries and promotes healthy growth. It is important to gradually increase exercise as the puppy gets older and their bones and joints become stronger.

    • Siberian Husky

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Collie
    A. Boxer
    A. German Shepherd
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Collie, Boxer, and German Shepherd. These three breeds are known for their herding abilities and have been traditionally used to gather and move livestock. Collies are particularly skilled at herding sheep, while German Shepherds are commonly used for herding and guarding livestock. Boxers, although not as commonly associated with herding, have also been used for this purpose due to their intelligence and ability to learn and follow commands.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Dogs are as faithful and dependable as any other animal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that dogs are as faithful and dependable as any other animal, but this is not true. Dogs are widely known for their loyalty and dependability, often considered as one of the most faithful animals. Therefore, the correct answer is False, as dogs are more faithful and dependable compared to many other animals.
