What Kind of Dog?
Thursday, August 7th, 2003This AnimalPlanet site looks like a great venue to help you choose a breed of dog, then to learn more about it:
You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family — except, of course, for the family dog. Since the first arranged dog breeding, humans have been gradually creating the most diverse species in the world: Canis familiaris, the domestic dog. Diversity in dogs existed even in prehistoric times, with distinct types of families, or “breeds,” arising among their wolf ancestors 3,000 to 4,000 years ago.
Our dog breed directory is designed to inform you about some of these different breeds, but also to provide information that will help you choose the best dog for you.
