The woolly mammoths of Siberia
So, we know that returning extirpated wildlife can restore native landscapes. But now that we’re capable of bringing back long-extinct species, landscape restoration by the use of wildlife takes on a new twist.
Reviving Extinct Animals: a Tool for Fighting Global Warming?

Cavachon
While every dog is unique, dogs of the same breed often share many characteristics.
Bouvier des Flandres
The Bouvier des Flandres is a compact, powerful dog. It looks tough, with no sign of heaviness or clumsiness in the overall makeup. Agile, spirited and bold, yet serene and well-behaved, the Bouvier des Flandres is a fearless, efficient farm dog.
Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound) (Russkaya Psovaya Borzaya) (Psowaya Barsaya)
The Borzoi is similar in shape to the Greyhound. It has a narrow, slightly domed head with almost no stop. The long muzzle is slightly arched. The teeth meet in a level or scissors bite.
Cavapom
Cavapoms vary widely in appearance because Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Pomeranians are so different. What he will always be is cute, with a sweet expression, big eyes and a sturdy body. He can come in a multitude of solid colors or in a particolor p
Cane Corso
This Italian mastiff was bred to hunt wild boar and today acts as a guard dog. Fiercely devoted to his family, he doesn't care for strangers or small animals. More athletic and agile than other mastiffs, he’ll sit at your feet with impressive weight.
Canaan Dog
Breed Group: Herding, Height: 19 to 24 inches at the shoulder, Weight: 35 to 55 pounds, Life Span: 12 to 14 years. This medium-size herding dog is an intelligent, independent thinker with natural watchdog instincts.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
One of the largest of the Toy breeds, Cavaliers follow their people everywhere, just waiting for a chance to jump in a lap. They are also willing and able to go for long walks and hikes, and many enjoy flushing birds, just like their bigger spaniel cousins
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Affectionately called the “yard-long dog” in his native Wales, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is active and good-natured — and he loves to be busy. Cardigans make excellent watchdogs, but they can become nuisance barkers if they’re not properly trained.
Cairn Terrier
The Cairn may be small, but he’s an active family member who wants to play and play. He is smart, if somewhat independent. The Cairn has a foxy expression and a tough, weather-resistant coat that can be any color but white.
Bullmastiff
The strong-willed Bullmastiff is not afraid of anything and would lay down his life for his family. Mild-mannered and sweet unless incited, this 130-pound guard dog will lean on your leg and sit on your feet while he snorts, snuffles and drools.
Brussels Griffon
The Brussels Griffon is smart, alert, sensitive, and full of self-importance. He will keep you in stitches with his antics, prove an excellent watchdog, and rule your household with an iron paw.
Brittany
The Brittany’s medium size, wash-and-go coat, and happy, intelligent personality make him the perfect dog for an owner who will give him the exercise he needs -- or, even better, take him hunting.
Boykin Spaniel
This medium-size sporting breed is a great retriever, loves water, and has a friendly nature. He’s not much of a watchdog, but if you’re looking for a pal to take hunting, boating, or hiking, he’s a great choice.
Border Terrier
The people-oriented Border Terrier is more laid-back than other terrier breeds. His size makes him portable, and he’s a great companion and watchdog for a moderately active family. Bonus: The Border Terrier is also very trainable.
Border Collie
Some people say the Border Collie is the smartest dog breed. His ability to impose his will on sheep makes him the best sheepherding dog in the world -- but watch out, because he'll try to impose his will on you, too.
Briard
Briard devotees describe him as “a heart wrapped in fur.” This French herding breed is large and protective; he’s an excellent watchdog and will guard his family and property just as carefully as he guarded his flocks.
Doberman Pinscher
Although the Doberman has a reputation as a sharp and even sinister dog, his devoted fans consider him the most loving and loyal of companions. Believe it or not, a good Doberman is a stable, friendly dog -- unless you threaten his family.
Miniature Pinscher
The Miniature Pinscher is not a scaled-down Doberman, although he is fearless and makes a terrific watchdog. Known as the “King of the Toys,” this little fireball is best suited to an experienced owner who can manage his willful nature.
Silky Terrier
An active hunter of small prey, this toy thinks he’s a Big Dog and he can be a tiny Napoleon. Forget lap dog status – he’s a terrier who wants to play, dig, run around, and charm the pants off anyone. He’s an excellent watch dog.
Bolognese
No, he’s not a tasty Italian sauce. The Bolognese, like his cousin the Bichon Frise, is a tiny white dog with curly hair.
