Dog breeds in Alphabetical Order
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris o Canis familiaris) is a member of the genus Canis (canines) formed from the evolution of the wolf, being the most abundant carnivore. The dog and the existing gray wolf are related.
The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred for millennia for various behaviors, sensory abilities and physical attributes.
Their long association with humans has led dogs to be attuned to human behavior, being able to thrive on a starchy diet that would be unsuitable for other canid species. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colors. They play many roles, such as hunting , grazing, pulling loads, the protection, assistance to the police and the army, the camaraderie and, more recently, helping people with disabilities. This influence on human society has given them the nickname “Man's Best Friend”.
