A dog's glans consists of two sections: Behind the lower, long part (pars longa glandis) lies the "knot" (Bulbus glandis) [1] which expands only after penetrating the vagina and causes the male dog to remain inside the bitch ("Tie") for some time after ejaculation (typically between 15 and 30 min).
Canidae (/ ˈ k æ n ɪ d iː /; [3] from Latin, canis, "dog") is a biological family of dog-like carnivorans, colloquially referred to as dogs, and constitutes a clade. A member of this family is also called a canid ( / ˈ k eɪ n ɪ d / ). [ 4 ]
Dogs' vision is dichromatic; their visual world consists of yellows, blues, and grays. [39] They have difficulty differentiating between red and green, [40] and much like other mammals, the dog's eye is composed of two types of cone cells compared to the human's three. The divergence of the eye axis of dogs ranges from 12 to 25°, depending on ...
Cerdocyonina is an extant subtribe of the canines that is endemic to the Americas. Often described to be "fox-like" in appearance and behavior, they are more closely related to the wolf-like canids such as Canis than they are to the fox genus Vulpes. [1] Its members are colloquially known as the South American canids [2] and there are 10 extant ...
Members of the breed typically weigh between 15 and 20 pounds (6.8 and 9.1 kg) with an average height between 10–11 inches (25–28 cm) at the withers. [2] The body should be shorter than the height of the dog at the shoulder.

Canidae is a family of mammals in the order Carnivora, which includes domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, jackals, dingoes, and many other extant and extinct dog-like mammals. A member of this family is called a canid; all extant species are a part of a single subfamily, Caninae , and are called canines.
The study found a regulatory sequence next to the gene Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), which, together with the gene and regulatory sequence, "is a major contributor to body size in all small dogs." Two variants of this gene were found in large dogs, making a more complex reason for the large breed size.
