The 7 Breed Groups:
Breed grouping differs from country to country.
The American Kennel Club recognizes 150 dog breeds, divided into seven groups: Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-sporting and Herding.
In England, and throughout the UK, the Kennel Club divides breeds into six groups: Hound, Terrier, Toy, Gundog, Working and Utility.
On Continental Europe, the breeds are grouped:
1. SHEEP-HERDING DOGS, which were bred to be used in herding livestock, usually sheep or cattle. They include the Belgian sheepdog, Rough Collie (Lassie), Border Collie, German Shepherd (or Alsatian), Old English Sheepdog, Sheltie, Welsh Corgi, and Australian Cattle Dog.
2. GUARD AND UTILITY, bred to guard and defend or as working dogs. The earliest guard dogs were the mastiffs, such as the Roman fighting-dogs, the Molossian Hounds. "Utility" or Working dogs came from other lines. North American native breeds, such as the huskies, contain much wolf blood.
Modern breeds of Guard and Utility dogs are the Alaskan Malamute, Boxer, Bulldog, Bull Mastiff, Great Dane, Doberman Pinscher, Canadian Husky (or Eskimo Dog), Newfoundland, Saint Bernard, Samoyed, Schnauzer, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Siberian Husky.
3. TERRIERS. Terriers were first developed to fight unwanted “vermin” such as badgers and foxes, driving or digging them out of holes in the ground where they were hiding. They are happy, eager to learn, affectionate and tolerent. Terriers include: the Airedale, Bull Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, the Welsh, Scottish, Jack Russell Terriers and the increasingly popular Westies -- West Highland White Terriers.
4. HOUNDS AND GREYHOUNDS. Hounds were developed to hunt, using their scent, sight or speed.
This group includes the American Foxhound, Basset Hound, Beagle, Bloodhound, Coonhound, Dachshund, Elkhound, Foxhound, Afghan, Borzoi, Greyhound (the most ancient of hounds, the “gazehound” was developed by the ancient Celts), Irish Wolfhound and Whippet.
5. GUNDOGS. This sporting group evolved mostly from the hounds, and are also known as bird dogs. These include the Pointer, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, English Setter, Cocker Spaniel, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Hungarian Vizsla, Weimaraner and Wetterhound.
6. LARGE COMPANION DOGS. These are a varied group, mostly modern descendents of mastiffs, terriers, spitz and hunting dogs. They include the Basenji, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Dalmatian, Poodle, Pug, Chow Chow and Boston Terrier.
7. SMALL COMPANION DOGS. An even more varied group of small dogs, including the Affenpinscher, Chihuahua, Maltese, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier.
Every dog, of course, is the "most popular" to somebody! From the Affenpinscher to the Xoloitzcuintle, from Bernese to Maltese, from the Pitbull to the Pekingese, Border Collie to Dalmation, any dog -- with the proper training and care -- can be your most loving and loyal companion.
