According to AKC, there are 7 distinguished groups. First, there is the Sporting Group these dog are used to assist with hunting, especially bird hunting. These common ones are Golden Retriever, Lab, and Spaniel. There are a few more but those are the main ones. Next, is the Hound Group this group is divided into sight and scent in which they use to hunt there prey. The sight has more speed to them. A few that are in this category of hounds is the Beagle, Dachshund, Bloodhound, and Coonhound. Next, is the Working Group that I talked about in my previous post, this group is the one that need a job or task. There are not content just laying around all day. Some breeds that fit into this category are the Husky example sled dog, Boxer, and Rottweiler. Terrier Group is made up of many different types of Terriers they like to hunt and prey on rodent due to their short-legs. Toy Group I think the name is the funniest of them all. These dogs are companionship dogs due to their small size. They are all lap size dogs and can be carried around like a Pug and Yorkie. They are all small but different in many ways. Next, we have the Non-Sporting Group this group is so diverse in the type of breeds that there is not a real distinct definition to cover them. Dogs such as Chow-Chow, French Bulldog, to a Poodle very different type dogs in one category. Finally, is the Herding Group which I think is the most common that people know about. They are a dog that works too, easy to train and are used to herd livestock. Border Collie, Collie, German Shepherd, and Sheltie.
