About Dog Breeds

What is a Dog Breed?

A dog breed is a particular type of dog that was purposefully bred by humans to perform specific tasks, such as herding, hunting, or companionship. Each breed has distinct characteristics, temperament, and appearance.

Recognized Breeds

Major kennel clubs like the AKC, UKC, and FCI recognize different numbers of breeds. Our database includes recognized breeds as well as popular designer and hybrid breeds.

Choosing the Right Breed

Consider your lifestyle, living space, activity level, and family situation when choosing a breed. Each breed has unique needs and characteristics that make them suitable for different owners.

Mixed Breeds

While purebred dogs have predictable traits, mixed breed dogs (mutts) can make wonderful companions and often have fewer health issues due to genetic diversity.
