Learn more about your favorite dog breeds, from the most famous to the ones that most people have forgotten about.
What are dog breeds? They are groups of dogs that have been repeatedly bred with members of the same group, eventually creating a distinct breed.
Of course, all dogs are part of the same species, known as Canis Lupus Familiaris, but through selective breeding we now have dogs of many different breeds.
Other than their distinct look, each breed has different personality traits and quirks. And even among dogs of the same breed, no two dogs are alike, just like no two humans are alike.
When selecting a dog to adopt, it is important to know how friendly, healthy, lively, and hairy that that specific breed can become. Do your research on the dog breed, or you may end up regretting it!
Dogs also come in many shapes and sizes. There are five sizes of dogs: toy, small, standard (medium), large, and giant. You can even sometimes find dog breeds with miniature versions!
