Dog breeds are usually categorized by the functional type. Some dogs may fit into more than one category. For instance, working dogs can also be excellent companion dogs. It is important to know what type of dog a specific breed is, so that expectations are realistic. If you adopt a dog which has been bred to herd sheep, don’t be surprised when it tries to herd your children. Dogs which were bred to run long distances will require a lot of exercise. Take these factors into consideration when choosing a dog.
