* Game 3, Round 4 - Science - Original Dog-Breed Names
Nowadays we might look at a dog and say "that's a soft-coated
wheaten terrier", but when the Irish bred it, they originally
called it the "an brocaire buí" ["uhn BRAW-kur bwee]". In each
case, give the name we know the breed by.
1. In addition to the soft-coated wheaten terrier, the Irish people
have bred seven other breeds of dog recognized by the American
Kennel Club, the oldest of which is the "cú faoil" ["koo feel"].
What do we know that one as?
2. This dog was initially bred in France, where it is known as the
"chien de St-Hubert". What do we call it?
3. The "xolo" ["CHO-low"] is the proper name for this dog, one of
which was recently featured in the Pixar film "Coco".
4. The Chinese refer to this breed as the "songshi quan" ["song-SHE
kwan"], which translates to "puffy lion dog".
5. In Dari Persian, this dog is called the "sag-e tazi" ["SADGE-eh
TAW-zee"]; in Pashto, it is the "tazi spay" ["TAH-zee SPAY"].
6. The Azande ["ah-ZAN-"day] people of South Sudan know this dog
as the "ango angari", which means "dog of the bush".
7. In Zimbabwe, the Shona call this dog shumba imbwa ["shoom-BAH
im-BWAH"], which means "lion dog", because they used it to keep
lions at bay.
8. These dogs were originally called "alpenmastiffs", until Swiss
and German breeders in the late 19th century realized they were
not actually related to mastiffs.
9. The Germans originally called these large dogs "Kammerhunde",
and dressed them in gilded collars -- when they weren't using
them to hunt boars or even bears.
10. This Japanese breed's name translates to "little brushwood dog".
