The ability to recognize dog breeds is a valuable skill for anyone who owns, or plans to own, a dog. It helps you choose the right dog for your lifestyle and gives you the opportunity to meet other owners of the same breed at dog parks, as well as at competitions and shows.
Knowing the different dog breeds can also be helpful if you need to identify what kind of dog bit someone or your pet.
There are hundreds of different types of dog breeds in the world today, from tiny teacup Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes. Some are common in homes across America, while others are rarer (and sometimes more difficult) to acquire.
Below is a list of all recognized dog breeds by The Kennel Club:
This is a list of dog breeds, grouped by type and listed by origin. The list includes both pure-breed dogs and cross-breeds, mixed-breed dogs.
All The Dog Breeds Of The World
There are many ways of categorizing dogs. A canine’s physical characteristics are one way to group the species; other ways include behavior, working ability, or purpose. Some breeds have been developed to work in specific ways, while others have been designed for specific tasks such as hunting, herding or guarding. The best known dog breed groups are Working Dogs (or “working dogs”), Terriers and Toy Dogs.
This list covers all dog breeds with a Wikipedia article, as well as any additional notable dog breeds not yet covered in Wikipedia but having a large enough following to be included in this list. The list also includes some rare or extinct breeds that were once very popular but today are not commonly seen outside their native countries (e.g., the Mexican Hairless Dog).
The order of the following list is based on the most recent (as of December 2018) World Canine Organization breed standard (also known as FCI breed standard), followed by the FCI’s grouping of similar breeds. Where several standards exist for a single breed

The dog is one of the most popular animals in the world. They have been domesticated for about 15,000 years, and there are currently more than 400 different breeds recognized by The Kennel Club.
The exact number of dogs worldwide is unknown, but it’s estimated that there are over 600 million dogs living in human homes. That’s more than 4 times as many people as there are in the United States!
Dogs have been used for work since the earliest days of their domestication, but today they’re primarily kept as companions for their owners. Dogs can be trained to perform a wide variety of tasks and tricks, and some breeds specialize in certain skills such as hunting or herding livestock.
