I spend a lot of my time researching dogs, dog owners and dog health so I often find myself on forums of dog owners. Every time I think I’ve heard of every type of dog I read a post from an owner of some breed I’ve never heard of before.
So I decided I’d do some research and find out just how many breeds there actually are..
How many do you think I found?
How many dog breeds do you think there are?
300?
400?
700?
I came up with a list of 1096 breeds, most of which I have never heard of before… but apparently they do exist.
Have a look through the list for yourself and be dazzled by some of the strange and exotic names, in the next post I’ll list breeds from I-Z:
