Can I get a photo of a specific breed like 'Husky'?

Yes! Use the `get_dog_by_breed` tool and set the `breed` parameter to 'husky'. It will return a random image of that breed.

How do I list all available sub-breeds for a breed like 'Retriever'?

Use the `list_sub_breeds` tool and provide 'retriever' as the breed. It will return a list of all sub-breeds like 'golden', 'flat-coated', etc.

Are there any copyrights on these dog images?

The Dog CEO API sources images from various open repositories. While most are free to use, you should check the source links for specific licensing if using them for commercial purposes.
