Dog breed context and quick facts
Modern dog breeds were shaped by selective breeding for specific jobs—herding, guarding, retrieving, scent tracking, and companionship—which is why many traits cluster by breed group.
Kennel clubs and registries standardize breed descriptions, but real dogs can vary widely due to genetics, environment, and training, so breed traits are best treated as tendencies rather than guarantees.
Tips for better scores
Look for a small set of “anchor” clues first (overall silhouette, coat type, head shape), then use secondary details like ear set, tail carriage, and typical size to narrow down the best answer.
