Description Every Dog Your guide to over 450 dog breeds Introduction No other mammal — and certainly no domestic animal — has been transformed by human requirements (or their aesthetic whims) into such a broad range of shapes, sizes, and coat textures as the modern-day dog. The towering Irish Wolfhound and the diminutive Chihuahua are the exact same species, as are the narrow- skulled Borzoi and the blunt-faced English Bulldog. And though most dogs were 'engineered' to perform specific tasks, certain dogs were bred solely for a fashionable appearance or a pleasing nature. Most researchers agree that dogs were descended from the gray wolf of central Asia, canis lupus, and domesticated from 17,000 to 14,000 years ago. It is believed that their relationship with man first started with scavenging wolves picking over the remains of animal carcasses discarded near human camps. Perhaps a bold wolf puppy wandered into the camp and was fostered by the humans. By the time of the first recorded histories, dogs were already entrenched within human society. The over 450 breeds are organized into various categories, such as: Sighthounds &Pariahs Irish WolfhoundWhippetBorzoiGreyhound Scent Hounds BloodhoundBeagleDachshundEnglish Foxhound Herding Dogs Border CollieGerman ShepherdOld English SheepdogAustralian Cattle Dog Guardian Dogs Doberman PinscherBullmastiffRottweilerGiant Schnauzer Sporting Dogs Labrador RetrieverGolden RetrieverPointerAmerican Cocker Spaniel Spitz-Type Dogs Alaskan MalamuteChow ChowSiberian HuskyAkita Terriers Miniature SchnauzerWest Highland White TerrierBull TerrierScottish Terrier Companion Dogs Cavalier King Charles SpanielPekingeseYorkshire TerrierFrench Bulldog
