Size – Dogs are a variety of shapes and sizes. There are some small dogs that are smaller than a cat and large ones that are as tall as a human when they stand on their back legs.

Appearance – All dogs have a coat of fur which can be, smooth, long or curly. Their tails can be long or short and their ears can be pointed or floppy depending on the breed.
