This book is dedicated to finding you the perfect dog breed for canine sports and activities. Dogs come in so many different sizes, temperaments and activity needs that it is hard to find everything you want in one package. They were bred for many different reasons from hunting to sledding to protection to just plain companionship. Dogs have come so far from the wild dogs in Africa and wolves to the pugs we see today. There are over 160 AKC registered dogs, not to mention the designer dogs, such as puggles and many loveable mutts, which can be the best of many mixtures. How do you know which ones will fit into your active lifestyle or sport you wish to participate in? The purpose of this guide is to help pinpoint that decision down to at least 5-10 possible choices out of 160+ AKC registered breeds, and then you can continue your research on endless numbers of web sites and books.
