In Chinese, specific dog names contain 犬, so even if you aren’t familiar with a specific dog type, you still know it is a dog. English doesn’t work this way. You need to memorize the common dog types, otherwise when someone says to you, “Do you like German Shepherds?” you will have no idea what they are talking about.
Most common dog types.
Cocker Spaniel- Golden Retriever
- German Shepherd
- Dachshund
- Pit Bull
- Poodle
- Great Dane
- Chihuahua
- Blood Hound
- Irish Setter
- Husky
“Blood hound” is also used to mean “a person who relentlessly pursues someone.” Like a police detective, for example.
