About Dog Breeds
Many people seek out specific dog breeds when they choose a dog, for reasons of status or because they are allergic to certain types of dogs. The American Kennel Club tracks dog breeds and dog credentials. Many people prefer to get a dog that has been rescued from abuse, and will go the dog pound or rescue organization to look for a pet first.
