All Dog Breeds

With around 400 breeds of Canis Familiaris of every imaginable shape, size, color and temperament established since 1850, you are really spoiled for choices when it comes to picking your 'best friend'.

The diversity of dog breeds is the brainwave of Man himself. Light-years ago, we domesticated wolves, fed and sheltered them to obtain loyalty, protection and aid in hunting in return. The evolution from 'Wolf' to 'Woof' gained momentum when the domesticated wolf cubs mated amongst themselves to produce new strains of tamer, more domesticated dogs.
