Task · part of 1. Where dogs came from, the seven groups, and breeds
1(c). Seven breeds, one from each group, OR the history of one breed
Required
Specific characteristics of seven breeds, one from each major group, or a short history of a single breed. Seven against one is a real difference; the badge treats them as equivalent.
Notes and warnings
Note. Two routes inside one lettered item, and they are not the same size: specific characteristics of SEVEN breeds, one from each major group, or a short history of ONE breed. The badge treats them as equivalent. Neither adds or removes any other step, which is why this is a note and not a question.
