List Of Dog Breeds![]() List Of Dog Breeds - History The dog breeds we recognize today have evolved from the genus Canus about a million years ago. It is believed that all different types of dogs are descendants of the wolf. At some point man and dog found mutually favorable reasons to team up, though there is some debate about when this occurred. Fossil remains provide evidence of dogs' domestic involvement with man at around 13,000 years ago, though recent DNA findings have revealed much earlier connections. In time it was discovered that dogs were not only good companions around the camp, but could help with various physical tasks.
Again, there are differing opinions about how dogs became so diversified. But many experts believe that humans, being pretty quick to realize the dogs' potential, started selectively breeding dogs of certain physical characteristics for different types of tasks. No matter what the conditions were that first brought man and dog together, the evidence is clear that dogs have become beloved and loyal friends over the years. Today, some of the descendants of these early domesticated dogs are classified in this list of dog breeds by dog groups, which a class simply known as "miscellaneous". This class contains a list of breeds of dogs awaiting opportunity for full recognition and registration into the AKC Stud Book. The standards for the various dog group classifications are set by kennel clubs around the world.
In 1884 the American Kennel Club was founded to promote, among other things, the breeding and sport of purebred dogs for type and function. The AKC subsequently established the standards and the classification of purebred dog breeds by dog group. If you are thinking about getting a dog and have asked the question: "what is the best dog for me?" - you will be able to compare a wide selection of dog breed profiles from the list of dog breeds and their related information presented on this site.
