Dog breeds

Different dogs fit different lifestyles.

Breed is only one part of a dog's personality, but size, energy level, coat type, and working history can help people choose a companion with realistic expectations.

Sporting dogs

Retrievers, spaniels, and pointers often enjoy water, games of fetch, and busy family routines.

Active

Herding dogs

Border collies, shepherds, and corgis are known for focus, quick learning, and a need for mental work.

Focused

Companion dogs

Small companion breeds can be playful, affectionate, and well suited to apartments when exercised well.

Working dogs

Many larger breeds were developed for guarding, pulling, or rescue work and benefit from structure.
