a) Choose a few dog breeds that interest you. Find out for what purpose the breeds were bred, and what traits were then sought to be enhanced in the offspring.

b) What would you do if you wanted to have the best possible guide dog?

c) Do you think that the breeding process can sometimes be too extreme? What can follow from that? For example, find information about the problems faced by the American Bulldog and the French Bulldog.

d) Advise a young person on the acquisition of a dog, taking into account as many aspects as possible (purpose, the person's competence in keeping the dog, price, ethical considerations, etc.).
