I am helping wth a quiz whic has the (loose) title "Electricity"

There are a few clues which I cannot find answers to liking them with elecricity. Any help appreciated.

Another name or a millipede.

Terrier, dachshund or pointer.

Base for artillery or poultry.

I have 'battery' for the latter 2 but if anyone has a better suggestion I would apprecite it.

Many thanks

Sorry, don't know what happened there! I would think battery is definitely right, it fits all 3 parts of the last one.
For the dogs - wire-haired? Very loose electricity connection admittedly, but all 3 of those do come in wirehaired varieties.

Thanks mrs tellis. Good idea with the wire haired dogs
I have never heard of another name for a milipede (unless it is a local slang name)

In some places millipedes are known as wireworms. A bit tenuous I know, but you never know.
