There are hundreds of dog breeds across the globe, and many have characteristics that are native to specific areas.&nbsp;How many breeds actually are there? It&#8217;s not a straightforward answer, as there have been many breeds developed over hundreds of years and new breeds are added on a regular basis. To find the answer, it&#8217;s useful to look at the governing bodies and how they classify canine breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"shallow focus photo of dogs on tree log\" class=\"wp-image-1757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shallow-focus-photo-of-dogs-on-tree-log-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1045.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"simpletoc-title\">Inhaltsverzeichnis<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#governing-bodies\">Governing Bodies&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-are-dog-breeds-developed-and-recognized\">How Are Dog Breeds Developed And Recognized?<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#classifications\">Classifications&nbsp;<\/a>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#sporting-canines\">Sporting Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#working-canines\">Working Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#herding-canines\">Herding Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#non-sporting-canines\">Non-Sporting Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#terrier-canines\">Terrier Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hound-canines\">Hound Canines&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#toys\">Toys&nbsp;<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#the-answer\">The Answer<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faqs\">H\u00e4ufig gestellte Fragen<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"governing-bodies\">Governing Bodies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different countries have specific governing bodies when it comes to dog breeds. For example, in the USA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/dog-breeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The American Kennel Club is the authority on dog breeds<\/a> and in the UK it\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekennelclub.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">KC (Britain\u2019s kennel club)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the groups differ in how they determine breed types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes it a bit hard to establish the number of dog types there genuinely are in the globe because each of the managing bodies that keep an eye on canine breeds differs concerning the number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the <strong>AKC&nbsp;identifies 195 types<\/strong>, while the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fci.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FCI<\/a> identifies 360 types<\/strong> officially. As well as that, there are all the breeds that are in an experimental process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there isn&#8217;t a specific internationally agreed-upon number of canine breeds. However, we can say <strong>approximately that there are between 195-500 breeds worldwide<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-are-dog-breeds-developed-and-recognized\">How Are Dog Breeds Developed And Recognized?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, there are a plethora of well-established canine breeds. However, several hundred years ago it was a different story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2019-04-18\/history-of-modern-dog-breeds-invented-in-victorian-era\/11019320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In Victorian times people started to create their own breeds<\/a>, this began the development of the hundreds of breeds we find today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s easy to crossbreed dogs and create a unique breed, however, it wouldn&#8217;t necessarily be recognized by the powers that be. It is, in fact, a long and tricky process establishing a brand-new breed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most governing bodies require that a requested new breed meet certain population and popularity requirements. If there aren&#8217;t enough around, then they won&#8217;t be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the population as well as appeal alone, does not mean that a breed will be officially acknowledged. They must also have some sort of history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, it may be that they require that the breed has lasted for several generations (typically 3). There must also be a unique kennel club for the specific breed, with several hundred members as standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole thing can get very complicated and some qualifications required are very particular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fulfilling all of these certifications isn&#8217;t adequate to make the breed recognized. It will also need approval from whichever federation you&#8217;re looking for recognition with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the AKC, once authorized, the breed will be placed with the miscellaneous class, which is suggested for types that aren&#8217;t formally identified but maybe will be in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become an official breed, the canines must take part in dog shows for the miscellaneous types for three years or more before they will even be considered for eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every Dog Breed Explained (Part 1) | WIRED\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ik9dHDqlTpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"classifications\">Classifications <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re lucky enough to get your breed recognized it will be given a specific classification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently 7 classifications as well as a \u201cgateway group\u201d that exists to help new breeds work their way towards full recognition.

The AKC only officially recognizes 195 breeds, whereas the FCI classify 360 as official breeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These figures don&#8217;t include the hundreds of experimental breeds that exist at the time of writing.
