Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Dog breeds are often categorized by the ancestral type and subtype from which the breed descended. Some group categories cover more than one type; working dog refers to dogs that do some sort of work for humans, in contrast to companion dogs which are pets, although working dogs can also be companions, and companion dogs can do useful work. This book studies various types of dogs and examples of each type including fighting dogs, mountain dogs, lap dogs, pastoral dogs, and sled dogs.
