The content of wikipedia is under GNU Free Documentation License, so you can use it. If you just copy the content though absolutely no one will read your website and google will penalize you for duplicate content. It would be better to use wikipedia as a source and write your own unique content.

 

Yea, I agree with Melogknaj...Basically, just use wikipedia as a source...Then write your own content using that as a source and possibly other websites or books. That will be the best thing you could do for your dog website

 

And if you do use any content from Wikipedia, you should still site it as a source.
