The Very Number Of Dog Breeds To Choose From Is Too Overwhelming ...

By Muna wa Wanjiru
There are probably more dog breeds in the world at this moment than there are different strains of bacteria! Okay, that was a slight exaggeration, but only a very slight one mind you. There truly are a staggering number of dog breeds around with more being recognized every year.

It’s not that new dog breeds are being found from the four corners of the earth, it’s that new dog breeds are coming into existence because of cross breeding programs. The resulting dogs aren’t always considered to be a new dog breed, but some of them do stack up to the standards to be considered as one of the dog breeds, and this is when the number of dog breeds starts to grow.

Since dog is supposed to be man’s best friend, it really is no surprise that the more ardent of dog lovers went on to cross breed different dogs to get what they considered to be the perfect dog for them.

This required many years of dedication on the part of these breeders as well as a love for the dogs. And the result of so many, many years of breeding programs by so many, many dog breeders is the large variety of dog breeds we have around us today.

And of these, one of the latest editions to the mix is none other than a cute cross breed called a Puggle who is crossed with a Beagle mother and Pug father. Of the latest new dog breeds to come to the attention of the public this cute, wrinkle faced dog with the big droopy ears and the soulful eyes, is one of the most sought after.

And just as with these Puggles, there are many new dog breeds which come into being on a regular basis. Some people believe that these cross bred dog breeds are better even than their pure bred parents as the cross breeds will have less chance of carrying the same genetic illnesses and diseases which the pure breeds carry in their genetic makeup.

If you’re on the look out for a good dog to suit you and you find that the very number of dog breeds to choose from is too overwhelming for you to look into, the best thing for you to do is to narrow your choices down depending on what your requirements of a dog are. Doing this will not only help you to wade through the many different dog breeds, but it will also help you find your perfect doggy soul mate.
