Welcome to mydogneeds.com the dog breeds specialist.

Dogs are your most faithful and loyal friends. What they expect from you in return is just that you feed them good food, shelter and take care of them. This site is created with detail information on all dog breeds available around the world and the other neccesary things required for pets./

Breeding for appearance was introduced in the 19th century. Up to that time, dog breeding concentrated on producing traits that were useful or work: vermin hunting (terriers), flushing and driving game (pointers, hounds), running down large and small quarry (mastiffs, greyhounds), and guarding (mastiffs). Characteristics such as size, color, or set of tail can he introduced or altered by breeding from animals with those traits. It is also possible to introduce a feature from another breed-for example, Dingo blood added to the Smooth-coated Collie to produce the Australian Kelpie-and then to breed across enough generations for the trait to run "true."

There are seven Dog Breed Group

Dog Picture-1

Non-Sporting Dogs

This is the category from which many pet dogs are selected. The breeds within this group are now the dogs whose sole purpose in life is to be a companion to their owners. Examples: Dalmatian, French Bulldog, Chow Chow.

Dog Picture-2

Working Dogs

This group covers the traditional guards and workers, such as the Rottweiler. Bred to work, and in many cases fearsome, natural guards, most are happiest when they are doing the job for which they are breed.

Dog Picture-3

Herding Dogs

The breeds in this group were originally developed to herd and protect sheep and cattle. Many are still used by shepherds and farmers, but they are also extremely adaptable as pets. Examples: Collie, Corgi, German Shepherd Dog.

Dog Picture-4

Gundogs

Gundogs are used variously to detect, flush out, and retrieve game. Usually gentle natured, many dogs in this category have the dual role of huntsman's dog and family pet. Examples: Pointer, Golden Retriever.

Dog Picture-5

Terriers

These dogs were breed to go to ground, to hunt vermin, and bolt the fox from its lair. Energetic, sporting, and sometimes noisy, most terriers are affectionate by nature, but they can nip. Example: Yorkshire Terrier.

Dog Picture-6

Hounds

Some hounds hunt by scent, some rely on I heir keen eyesight. Hounds are good naturcd but have a propensity to roam. Manv hounds are kept in packs, in outside kennels, rather than living indoors. Examples: Greyhound, Basset, Bloodhound, Beagle

Toy Dogs

Although traditionally regarded as lap dogs many toy breeds come within this category, and will walk their owners off their feet. Many are splendid guards, keenly intelligent, affectionate, if somewhat possessive, and courageous to the point of stupidity. Examples: Pomeranian.

If you are like me and interested in adopting a dog or a puppy, I would recommend this book by L. T. Barnesh called "How to Successfully Adopt A Dog". You can check it here.
