With archaeological evidence suggesting that dogs have been an integral part of human life for more than 30,000 years, it’s no surprise that we are graced with many wonderful dog breeds specifically bred for certain tasks. From working dogs that pride themselves in Police work, Search and Rescue and more to our pint-sized terriers who tirelessly work to reduce pests. Many large breeds have been utilised for various roles in human existence, including herding and guarding responsibilities, seeing-eye dogs and the incredible assistance dogs who help countless people perform everyday tasks.
Interestingly, many smaller toy breeds have been specially developed for pure companionship and cuddles, becoming the experts at keeping their owners happy, content and loved. Their breed-exclusive temperaments and personalities provide something for everyone. Whether you want a dog to binge the latest TV streaming shows or head off on a marathon hike, there is a breed that will perfectly suit your lifestyle.
Dogs of all shapes and sizes now grace the globe and have an impressive mix of attributes and talents. Regardless of whether they are small, medium, large or giant, mixed breeds, purebreds, doodle breeds and more, they all possess rich histories and truly remarkable traits.
Like a recipe that combines different ingredients into a dish, a dog’s breed determines the shape and form of a dog’s personality along with its looks. Each breed has distinguishing features including size, grooming requirements, energy levels, health condition tendencies and so on.
Learning about a dog’s breed well in advance poses great advantages for a pet parent. Some breeds tend to be more susceptible to health ailments which will affect what type of pet insurance is best for them.
