A breed is a group of domestic animals with a homogeneous appearance, behavior, and other characteristics that distinguish it from other animals of the same species. When bred together, animals of the same breed pass on these uniform traits to their offspring, and this ability—known as "breeding true"—is a definitive requirement for a breed. The offspring produced as a result of breeding animals of one breed with other animals of another breed are known as crossbreeds or mixed breeds. Plant breeds are more commonly known as varieties, or cultivars, and crosses between plant cultivars (or species) are referred to as hybrids.. Breeds are usually not classified scientifically; instead being grouped by breeders according to similar characteristics.

Breeders

The breeder or breeders who initially establish a breed, do so by selecting individual animals from within the groups gene pool that they see as having the necessary qualities needed to enhance the breed model they are aiming for. These animals are referred to as “breed foundation”, or “breed origination”. Further, the breeder mates the most desirable from his point of view representatives, aiming to pass such characteristics to their progeny. This process is known as selective breeding. A written description of desirable and undesirable breed representatives is referred to as a breed standard.

What dog breeds are good as family pet with young kids?
Q. We are planning on getting a new puppy but would like something friendly with our 1 yr old. What breeds should we look for or avoid? We are planning to train it and be careful with the baby but still want to pick the best type for our family?

A. Go for a lab or retriever(or mutt of any kind - they are much more temperamental than purebreds).. Small 'lap dogs' can be very territorial and can have issues with kids (even when they are raised with the kids). You can also visit a shelter - they are very good about 'testing' the dog to be certain about what type of family it would be good with (ie one with kids). They will also help you along the way if training issues arise.

What large breeds are best for training as mobility assistance dogs?
Q. I have a psychiatric service dog but now I have some serious mobility issues and she is just not large enough to help me. I am considering getting a second dog to train as both a psychiatric and mobility assistance dog. I prefer an extra-large breed that can brace me somewhat. Which extra-large breeds might be most suitable for service dog work? Important traits are gentleness, whether or not the public would see the dog as intimidating in appearance, intelligence, etc.

Is there something like a wall chart that shows dog breeds to scale?
Q. I really want to be able to see dog breeds compared with each other(in size). Does anyone know of something(not a website, although it would still be helpful)like a book, or wall chart? I do not mean a normal dog book with information about dog breeds, I already have three of those. I want some way of comparing the size of different breeds, both height and structure. Thanks to all!

A. I saw one of these years ago, but I'm not finding it looking on Amazon or Google. It was in a Vet's office, so you might ask your Vet. OK better job on Google. Doesn't have all the breeds but the 150 or so most popular
