What do the Pyrenean Shepherd, Affenpinscher, Russell Terrier, Chow Chow, Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen, Basset Fauve de Bretagne, Otterhound, Brussels Griffon, Anatolian Shepherd Dog, Border Collie, Irish Wolfhound, Collie, Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, Boykin Spaniel, and Portuguese Podengo Pequeno all have in common?

Answer: Shaghayer.

Huh?

Shaghayer, sometimes seen as shag-haired. Both are archaic terms referring to a rough coat, and all of the aforementioned breeds either come in a rough coat, or have a rough coat variety. We mention this because we know that a whole lot of you love combing over old breed books, articles, and publications, and shaghayer is likely a term you may come across.

We want our readers to be not only the smartest people in the room, but to win every game of trivia that has a dog question.
