We have a season pass for the show Explorer on our Tivo because they
cover a lot of interesting topics. It's on National Geographic
Channel. They just had an episode called "Science of Dogs" that was
really interesting. They discussed what it is about dog genetics that
can get so many differences in the same breed. They even mentioned
that pitbulls are good with people when mentioning that they will
fight dogs in the context of dogs being bred for specific traits. Not
that JQP won't still be worried about the pitbull down the street
eating him alive, but it was nice to see a fairer statement in a TV
program.

It is scheduled to come on again on the 29th, 31st and Sept 2 and 5,
in case anyone wants to see it. I'd recommend it. Even if you have
no interest at all in canine genetics, they have some adorable widdle
puppies in the show, which makes it worth watching right there!
