Dog Breed varieties are changing all the time as new mixed breeds are being formed. Do your research before you purchase a new dog to be sure his temperament will fit with your family and lifestyle. Here's everything you need to know about Dog Breeds.
AKC Registered Breeds
The American Kennel Club recognizes responsible breeders. They classify purebred dogs and provide papers to assure the dogs are authentic purebreds.
Mixed Dog Breeds
There is a new craze over mixed dog breeds, often referred to as designer dogs. These are dogs bred from two distinctly different dog 
breeds in order to create a dog with the best characteristics and health statistics of both breeds. They make very good family pets, but can also be very costly and are harder to come by.
Finding the Right Breed for You
Choosing a new dog is a very personal decision and you should feel a strong connection with the dog, but you should also do your research before investing in a new dog to ensure he or she is the best fit for you and your lifestyle. Choose the right breed, age, temperament, size and type of dog that best suits you. Are you interested in a sporting dog, a hunting dog, or a dog you can take with you almost everywhere you go? How much space do you have to allow your dog to run and play? If you have kids, make sure the puppy is one of the Dog Breeds that will hit it off well with them and is the type of breed that does well with children in general.
