More About Our Research and How to Navigate the Dog Paw Print Site
We have used the American Kennel Club (AKC) categories while evaluating the characteristics of each main canine group, and then have looked closer at the individual breeds that belong in that group to find the dogs with the best general characteristics for families with children. The American Kennel Club breaks down their recognized purebred breeds into eight different groups and you can read much more about the groups and different breeds in our Best Dog Breeds section.
The Characteristics of Dogs
From the Different Breed Groups
Each of the breed groups have different characteristics and most were bred with a specific job to do. The job is so crucial to the dogs from this group, that if they are kept from doing it (for example, running, herding, etc.) or some good substitute for it, they will become restless, and behavior problems will follow.
It's important to understand the nature of each breeds' job and native characteristics, and how they can work for or against your family. To do your best job as a selector, read as much as possibe about the different breeds and breed groups. Click on each breed group's link to find out more about the individual breed and what their traits are. Mixed breeds and cross breeds are a little bit harder to evaluate in these terms, but they can make wonderful family dogs, and we will help you learn what to look for in these as well when teaching you how to be an efficient breed selector.
