Man’s best friends were originally wolves, bred to create domestic dogs. When breeding had just begun, the main tasks these wolves were used for were hunting, herding and guarding. However, as the humans have evolved over the years, so have the wolves. Today, there are over 340 dog breeds known to the world. Each of these breeds has their specific traits, movements and behaviour patterns. Then the question arises, which type of dog is best suited for you to adopt? Nowadays dogs are bred to meet a whole wide variety of needs, some of which are listed here. You could also go through some blogs on dog training in order to further understand various breeds and make an informed decision.
Groups of Dog Breeds
Sporting
Retrievers, setters, spaniels and pointers were originally bred to help their hunters capture and retrieve prey. These dogs usually have thick coats to protect them from extreme weather conditions.
Working
Dogs like the Boxer, Great Dane and Rottweiler were bred for guarding, pulling sleds and other similar work. You would require someone like Michelle, a competent dog trainer of Fort Lauderdale, to provide the consistent and structured training that these dogs need.
Toy
Cute Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, Pug, etc., are all Companion Dogs, bred specifically for the sole purpose of keeping humans company. These are strictly house-dogs, who will wither away if kept alone outdoors for longer durations of time.
Herding
A type of working dog, these also include service dogs. While they are used for work, their breeding is based on specific tasks. Herding dogs like Border Collie, German Shepherd, Norwegian Buhund, etc are trained specifically to herd livestock like cattle or sheep; while service dogs are bred specifically for the purpose of helping people with disabilities.
Hound
American Foxhound, Beagle, Bloodhound, Greyhound, etc., can be classified as the oldest type of hunting dogs. As they have been bred to work independently, they need to be able to understand the reason behind your commands, which they might not follow if they don’t agree with you.
Terrier
Breeds like Bull Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, etc., were bred to be small so as to be able to go after vermin hiding in the ground. Their love for dirt digging, combined with a mischievous personality is what makes them excellent at this job.
Mixed Breed
Adopting a mixed breed dog usually means that you are giving a home to mutts who really need one. These underdogs are the ones that usually end up in shelters, despite the fact that they tend to be healthier than purebreds.
