Chloe's 5th Reflection

Today we did a lot of research on our topics, and through that we came up with interesting facts and stories relevant to our topic. I had never known this before, but poodles were originally bred to be hunting dogs, which is almost the opposite of what they are seen as now, which are fluffy lap dogs. I also learned that dogs can not only have successful offspring with dogs of other breeds, but can also reproduce with wolves, which is called back breeding. The term back breeding reflects the fact that the dogs are breeding with the animals from which they originally evolved, which I never knew was possible as wolves and dogs are now considered two distinct species.
