well, i like that some of them are easy but if you've noticed, the easier ones don't have as good of a prize :/

If it was easy, there would be no challenge to The Riddler.
Most riddles and lateral thinking puzzles require thinking outside of the box and are written misleadingly to put you off the trail.

I have to agree, the last riddle was wayyy too misleading. Don't ask "where" if the answer is not a place...

I thought it would be "the pound" since the dog catcher in Lady and Tramp liks humming the tune of that song,and the dog in the song does missing,but...forget it,I beat the new one anyway.

I have to agree Jack Russel Terrier was a bad answer to that. "Where" implies a place, not a thing. As in "The Pound" or "My Kennel" or "Buy a Puppy" would have been valid answers. If you took out the where part and just focused on the "ears so short and tail so long" part, still the JRT doesn't fit it. So basically, it'd be nice to have whoever is approving the riddles to look at it logically, it's really impossible to guess in 4 tries because as an answer it doesn't fit. The last few have been a little off. The "CEO" of the USA and all was a little wonky as well. The riddles are becoming clunky and not hard because they're well done but because they're not well done.

I'm not talking about the answer, just the spelling of the first word of the riddle itself... I didn't think that was against the rules, sorry.

Yay, I got this riddle first try :D Nice one!!
Though as other commenters have said, 'Wether' should have an 'H' after the 'W'... oops.

JRT have 'long' tails? Hmm I thought it would be the Borzoi due to their extremely long tail compared to their ears. But at first I though it was a 'Where am I?' riddle. Hmm it was confusing :/

I normally don't comment on Riddles, but the last two were awful, and not in an "Oh that was really clever" way. Also, a "Wether" is a castrated goat or sheep ;)

Almost impossible to get the last one really, with more than 2 options. I tried buy a puppy but s there are two breeds with pup pics and the answers are usually not multiple choice I never got the idea try a breed.

I didn't get the last Riddler either. Because of the "Where", usually the riddle is an answer to this ?, So I tried all the "Buy a puppy", "my kennel", "auctions", all of the answers to where oh where. Good thing I really didn't need a green collar.

*Looking down at her JRT with "long" tail and not understanding."
The last one was very confusing for me. It does not cover the "where" part.
