What's a dog breed?

People have been breeding dogs since prehistoric times. The earliest dog
breeders used wolves to create domestic dogs. From the beginning, humans
purposefully bred dogs to perform various tasks. Hunting, guarding, and herding
are thought to be among the earliest jobs eagerly performed by the animal
destined to be called “man’s best friend.”

For thousands of years, humans bred dogs toward the physical and mental traits
best suited for the work expected of them. The sleek Greyhound types bred to
chase fleet-footed prey, and the huge mastiff types used as guard dogs and
warriors, are two ancient examples of dogs bred for specific jobs.

As humans became more sophisticated, so did their dogs. Eventually, there
emerged specific breeds of dogs, custom-bred to suit the breeders’ local needs
and circumstances. The Greyhound, for instance, was the foundation type for the
immense Irish Wolfhound and the dainty Italian Greyhound. All three have a
distinct family resemblance, but you’d never mistake one for another.

So, then, when is a breed a breed and not just a kind or type of dog? The
simplest way to define a breed is to say it always “breeds true.” That is,
breeding a purebred Irish Setter to another purebred Irish Setter will always
produce dogs instantly recognizable as Irish Setters.

Each breed’s ideal physical traits, movement, and temperament are set down in a
written document called a “breed standard.” For example, the breed standard sets
forth the traits that make a Cocker Spaniel a Cocker Spaniel and not a Springer
Spaniel.

The AKC standard for each breed originates with a “parent club,” the
AKC-recognized national club devoted to a particular breed. Once approved by the
AKC, a standard becomes both the breeder’s “blueprint” and the instrument used
by dog show judges to evaluate a breeder’s work.

There are over 340 dog breeds known throughout the world. The American Kennel
Club recognizes 199 breeds. Less
