List of Different Types of Dogs with Pictures
While there are approximately more than 400 types of dogs currently, not all are pure breeds. Someare mixes of 2 or more breeds, making them mix-breeds. Depending on the work that a dog was bredfor, characteristics from two or more dogs were chosen and combined to form a new, specializedbreed. Then this breed had to be selectively bred and developed for many generations before itwould formally be recognized as a PURE breed. Confirming to this, many breeds have beendeveloped since selective breeding started centuries ago. These breeds were then classified intocategories depending on their work, and thus came into existence the 7 main categories into whichthese breeds were classified - Herding Group Hound Group Sporting Group WorkingGroup Terrier Group Toy Group Non-sporting Group Dogs which did not fit into any of thesespecific groups, or those which could not be classified, were placed into two other categories - ThisBuzzle article introduces these 7 groups to you, as well as a few of the FSS breeds.
Dog Breeds with Pictures
Herding Group
Earlier part of the working group, these herders were very recently appointed a group of their own.They are very intelligent breeds with an innate instinct for herding and protecting, making themexcellent as guard dogs and cattle herders. Eager to learn and please, they are a delight to train,and are very loving companions. They make excellent pets and can also be used as therapy dogs,police dogs and guide dogs (prime example being the German Shepherd). These breeds arebrimming with energy and require daily exercise, which is why they do not do very well in smallspaces. But they are wonderful pets for committed and experienced owners.

Working Group
Working dogs were selectively bred to assist man in jobs like rescues, guarding and pulling carts,carriages and sleds. In keeping with this profile, all working dogs are of formidable size and stature,and can be difficult to handle for first time dog owners, if they are not properly trained. These dogsare best suited for working rather than for being family pets, as not having work/purpose in life canlead to unhappiness and behavioral issues. But if they are given work and exercise, they areextremely loyal and dependable companions. All the breeds in this category are intelligent andhence easy to train, making them a pleasure to work with.

Terrier Group
'Feisty' is the word that would best describe any terrier. 'Terrier' is derived from the Latin wordmeaning 'Earth', and these breeds are expert diggers. They were originally bred to hunt vermin andwhile they are no longer used for the same work, they still find it tedious to tolerate creatures otherthan themselves. They require a considerable amount of grooming to look their best. These spunkyand energetic breeds are full of enthusiasm, and can charm even the most seasoned dog handlers.Spirited as they are, they need owners who can be stern when required and can match their zest andspunk.
