basset means "low"

Oooo-the round pink or yellow coconut ones with licquorice in the middle-yummy!!!!!! ;)

1) The Komondor's coat can take up to 3 years to form

3) about 3 weeks

5) grey hound

6) Mesocephalic

9) I know pinched nostrils in a Boston terrier is a fault

3] Three to six weeks. i think..?
4] Comes from “bas,” the French word for short or low-set
5] Greyhound definately!!
6] Something to do with the length of the muzzle being equal to the length of skull????
8] July 1993

Don't have any idea about the others!!

IF Greyhound is the answer to 5. What are the other 17?
I have always been told that the only animal faster than a greyhound/whippet is a cheetah B U T it all depends on perspective ie what distance are we talking about?
A Greyhpund/whippet will outrun a racehorse over for example 50yds from a standing start but over a furlong the horse would win. Likewise with a timed run, as in car landspeed competition, the horse would win.
A whale will be faster than a greyhound travelling across the Pacific! (Unless the Greyhound is travelling by boat or plane!)

Thaanks folks. I don't think it is greyhound as the breed standard says it is second fastest only to cheetah. Also whales don't count as it is land animals. Any more suggestions?

Sue ..it IS the greyhound ...quote taken from NCDL page:

The breed's incredible running speed (it is the 18th fastest land mammal) has created a lucrative industry

;)

Melody

The KC now has offices at Aylesbury

The Greyhound could be on water skis LD. Just a thought!

Bas- means "Low".... Basset is a description used for "Low to the earth" :) It's more of a slang term than actual literal meaning ;) :)

NCDL & Greyhounds states "The breed's incredible running speed (it is the 18th fastest land mammal) has created a lucrative industry based around gambling on the outcome of organized races."
Ergo, that's the answer for that one... next? :P ;) :)

Oooh ..theres an echo ...almost word for word there Sara ;)

Ahhh, but I provided the 'official' website source link to check it out ;) :)
Actually, I had the reply page up for the past half hour, but I was busy answering emails and telephones to post :rolleyes: :P

Thanks guys, still stuck on the others though.
