You may not realise it but there are hundreds of dog breeds in the world. These breeds have been selectively bred for hundreds and thousands of years for different tasks. The process continues today resulting in a large variety of dog breeds, depending on what you want your dog for you might want to look at the breeds available.
A guard dog needs to be strong, loyal, and alert. While a sheepdog needs a high level of intelligence, fatigue, ability to follow orders. A hunting dog needs to be fast, but most importantly needs an amazing sense of smell and sight. You may not want your dog for any particular job but it is still important to check what to expect from the different breeds.
For example you might want a new pet for your home, do you have children? Are you planning to? Well this all needs to be thought of. Before you make the choice sit down and have a look at the different type of dogs before you bite of more than you can chew.
