Why this site is different
This site is different because:
- there are already over 200 breeds listed, some of which you will not find on any other dog site.
- You get a specific directory just for non-shedding dogs; those dogs which work for people with dog allergies.
- Each breed has a downloadable profile – no need to copy and print, just download the information straight to your PC
- we will cover popular cross-breeds (also known as ‘designer dogs’
- we will eventually give you a detailed profile of every breed we can find even if it is not recognised by any or many Kennel Clubs, and
- we will give you access to as many dog breed e-books as we can find by specialists in those breeds
Breed notes – work in progress
I’ve tried to make it easy for you to to pick out dogs from the basic list. I’m changing the classification to show:
- size – small, medium or large (fairly self- explanatory)
- ideal environment – town, country or both
- first time owner – yes, no or maybe
Ideal environment
This is which kind of environment best fits the dog.
- Town dogs – A dog which is generally small, low exercise and ideally suited to a town or city environment. ‘Town’ dogs often do well in apartments and with less active people.
- Both – Means they do well in both environments, given the right exercise plus indoor and garden space.
- Country - These dogs are not usually suitable for town life. Some require lots of space to patrol and have other behaviours not suited to living close by other people or dogs. Typically a ‘country’ dog will require over 2 hours of hard off-lead exercise per day. Some have extreme needs which are only provided by the working environment they were bred for.
First time owner
Again I’ve tried to show which dogs are best for first-time owners.
- ‘Yes’ dogs definitely are fine.
- ‘Maybe’ dogs means they could be suited to first-timers, if the person has the time, energy and strength of character to match the dog.
- ‘No’ dogs are too challenging for first time owners. Some of these dogs require highly skilled handling and should only be attempted by professional dog handlers and dog trainers.

Dog breed books
Here are the best e-books on specific dogs breeds. If you know what breed you want, you might find an e-book to go with it here : Dog Breed e-Books
If the breed you want isn’t there yet, rest assured I’m working on finding it!
Dog breed profiles aren’t enough for your success
Flicking through a few dog profiles won’t get you the right dog. Even if you find a dog that seems to be a good match, you still have to:
- be sure it’s really right for you
- choose a happy, healthy dog
- choose from someone who cares and will provide proper support, not saddle you with a costly, chronically ill or bad-tempered problem
Thhis is a big challenge!
For most people who just rely on dog profiles, getting the right dog is pure luck – nothing more. That’s why 50% of dogs bought or adopted are in rescue or worse in less than 12 months. If you want to be different and care about your dog’s future properly, then
