Overview of Dog Breeds
Overview of Different Breeds of Dogs There are over a hundred registered breeds of dogs. Recognizing the type of the dog is basically
associated with its breed. A purebred animal belongs to a documented and acknowledged group of unmixed lineage. Before a breed of dog is recognized,
it must be proven that mating two adult dogs of the same type would have passed on their exact characteristics, both appearance and behavior, to their
offspring. If thinking of adopting or buying a pet dog for yourself, it is important to know which type of dog you want. Here are a few popular
