List of dog breeds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 66.107.12.18 (talk) at 18:24, 22 March 2008 (→‎Aa-Am: Removed statement on origin of Eskie as it's irrelevant to list of dog breeds.).

Dogs have been selectively bred for thousands of years, sometimes by inbreeding dogs from the same ancestral lines, sometimes by mixing dogs from very different lines. The process continues today, resulting in a tremendous variety of dog breeds.

The following list uses a wide interpretation of "breed". Breeds listed here may be traditional breeds with long histories as registered breeds, rare breeds with their own registries, or new breeds that may still be under development. Please see individual articles for more information. For breeds categorized by national origin, refer to the list of dog breeds by country. See also dog breed.
