There are over 157 different types of dogs recognized by the
American Kennel Club. The following article offers a list of dogs with
pictures that will help you in identifying the next breed that you come
across
While there are approximately more than 400 types of dogs
currently, not all are pure breeds. Some are mixes of 2 or more breeds,
making them mix-breeds. Depending on the work that a dog was bred for,
characteristics from two or more dogs were chosen and combined to form a
new, specialized breed. Then this breed had to be selectively bred and
developed for many generations before it would formally be recognized as
a PURE breed. Confirming to this, many breeds have been developed since
selective breeding started centuries ago. These breeds were then
classified into categories depending on their work, and thus came into
existence the 7 main categories into which these breeds were classified
Earlier part of the working group, these herders were very recently appointed a group of their own. They are very intelligent breeds with an innate instinct for herding and protecting, making them excellent as guard dogs and cattle herders. Eager to learn and please, they are a delight to train, and are very loving companions. They make excellent pets and can also be used as therapy dogs, police dogs and guide dogs (prime example being the German Shepherd). These breeds are brimming with energy and require daily exercise, which is why they do not do very well in small spaces. But they are wonderful pets for committed and experienced owners
