A dog town may vary in size from an acre to several hundred acres. The largest colony on record was 100 miles wide, 250 miles long and contained an estimated 400 million animals! Babies are born in the spring and the litters vary from two to eight young. By early summer, the young begin to emerge from their burrows and will take up a specific role in the family, whether it be foraging, playing, maintaining their home or scouting for predators.
