It's a favourite adage of mine - but you really do learn something every day.

Here's what I've learnt today. It was in a book called The Smallholder Encyclopaedia, first published in 1950 (no, I don't read this for fun, a copy just happened to come across my desk!)

The frill of long hair under the neck of a dog is called "the apron". And an "apple-headed" dog is one which, like a cocker spaniel, has a high rounded skull.
