Dog Breeds

Dogs are our “best friends” for a reason. They happily accompany us through all the stages of our lives, always offering a wagging tail and unconditional love. Over the past 10,000 years, dogs have been selectively bred to suit a variety of human needs - from hunting, guarding and herding, to companionship and assistance roles. Selective genetic manipulation has made the canine the most diverse domesticated animal genus on the planet. Dogs come in an astounding variety of sizes, shapes, colors and temperaments – just waiting for our love.

With hundreds of purebreds and mixed breeds, there is a perfect dog for each of us. On RightPet, you can recommend the dogs who have enriched your life - and can share the joys (and frustrations!) you've experienced with them. You can ask questions and trade tips in the forums, add stories, photos and videos, and find rescue groups, breed clubs and breeders for each breed.
