Dog Breeds: Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Dog
Dog Breeds can be defined as a group of dogs that share common and similar characteristics. There are many dog breeds that can be seen around the world, and the breeds vary according to function and use. There are German and Australian Shepherd dogs that are used to help sheep herders because they are strong and fast. There are also toy dogs such as the Chihuahua that are used as pets to be played with because of their small size. Hunting dogs such as the Basenji and Afghan are used to hunt animals because they have a strong sense of smell. Terriers are used to clean the house and garden of mice and insects. There are sporting dogs such as the Labrador, which are used in hunting because they are strong and active, while non-sporting dogs are used for picking things up from the ground, walking and running. There are working dogs such as the Akita, which protect people and property, while companion dogs help their owners reduce stress and emotional distress. There are also domestic dog breeds, which are (Poodle – German Shepherd – Labrador – Chihuahua), and dangerous dog breeds are (Chow Chow – Pit Bull – Rottweiler – Husky – Bull Terrier), so dog breeds vary according to the function the dog performs and the purpose of raising it.
