Please justify.

It's because all police dogs are gay.

I was working for the county of Napa during the wine crush. I used to rescue these guys from being crushed all day long. (also mice). There seems to be two specific types or possibly male and female. i type is brownish, the other typ had nice blue speckles on the back. Please identify.

Dude, what do you think gives the wine its special flavor? You're ruining it!!!

For every lizard or mouse I pulled out, another dozen (at least) found their way in, plus I didn't pull out the dead stuff, so don't worry, plenty of flavor!

Those are lizards of the genus Sceloporus, variously known as swifts, spiny lizards, or fence lizards. I can't tell which particular species those belong to, but I believe you are correct on the male/female distinction. Sexual dichromatism is not common in reptiles, but many Sceloporus species do display it.
