How Many Breeds Of Dog Are There In The World?

It is thought that there are more than 400 breeds of dog. However, I'm afraid there is no exact answer to this question. The basic types of dog are companion dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs and working dogs. Most dog breeds will fall into one of these larger categories, although there are many other types and subtypes. There are hundreds of different breeds of dog in the world and this number is changing all of the time. Numbers differ depending on whether you take into account cross breeds, how far down the line you class cross bred dogs as a breed in their own right, whether you include extinct breeds, whether you include wild dogs or just domestic dogs and whether or not a new breed has yet to be classified. You can view a list of most dog breeds by following this link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dog_breeds .

One of the most popular examples of a cross bred dog which is now a very popular breed all of its own is a Labradoodle. This is obviously a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle and has become a popular dog choice for those with allergies as it doesn't lose as much hair as normal breeds. When cross bred; it is essential that both dogs are pure breeds of their own category otherwise this would not be classed as a cross breed. Dogs need to come with all relevant paperwork and be correctly registered to show that they are a pure breed and have come from a long family of pure breeds.

There is over 400 dogs in the world but because new mixed breeds are being introduced all the time it is very hard to keep count.
But anyway DOGS RULE CATS DROOL!!!!!!
:)

There are only 400 dog breeds, but if you count mixed dog breeds, that makes it 500 dog breeds. Thats all I know but there might be more, but there isn't more then 1,000.

This is one of those, how long is a piece of string questions! However, it is estimated that there are over 400 different breeds of dog in the world, but this doesn't take into account the various mixed breed dogs that are rapidly being bread and given a breed name.

Mixed breed dogs make up a huge percentage of the dogs in the world, so it is really impossible to put a single figure on it, due to the amount of new breeds being introduced all the time.

The Chihuahua is the smallest dog in the world and stands at just between six and eight inches tall and weighs between six and nine pounds. The Old English Mastiff is not only the largest dog in the world, but he is also holds the record for being the biggest and heaviest dog in the world! The Old English Mastiff can weigh an incredible 343 pounds! An Old English Mastiff dog called Zorba held the record for the world's largest dog. Although the Irish Wolfhound and the Great Dane can beat the Mastiff in height, they cannot beat him in being the heaviest dog, so the Mastiff still wins, paws down!

There is so much so you can not just say a number because we really don't know the correct one because there is mixed breeds and pure breeds so we don't know how many breeds there really is in this world that we live in so don't listen to the other numbers because theres a lot of dogs in this world we don't know the correct number :}
