— Each Breed section includes detailed information about the particular breed, Breeder Listings, listings of Clubs from around the world, breed rescue organizations, as well as breed-specific books and other merchandise that can be purchased online through various affilates.

NOTE: The majority of the dog breeds listed in this directory are recognized by one or more of these all-breed registries:

• The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) — www.ckc.ca;


• The American Kennel Club (AKC) — www.akc.org and AKC Foundation Stock Service (AKC-FSS);


• The United Kennel Club (UKC) — www.ukcdogs.com;


• The Kennel Club (U.K.) (KC) — www.the-kennel-club.org.uk; and/or


• The Fédération Internationale Cynologique (FCI) — www.fci.be.

The directory also includes some rare breeds as well as some considered to be "breeds under development" and/or "evolving breeds" which have not yet gained recognition by the major breed registries listed above. For these breeds, breed-specific registries* are listed. In Canada, some of these rare breeds are recognized by the Canine Federation of Canada (CFC) — www.caninecanada.ca — The CFC is incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act. In addition, most of these rare breeds are recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) — www.arba.organd, where this is the case, it is indicated as such. Other alternate all-breed registries may also recognize these breeds; however, these are not listed. (For additional information regarding Breed Registries, please CLICK HERE.)

Every few weeks, different Breeders are featured within the individual dog breed sections of the site. Click on the banner to see the full list of participating Breeders.

The details provided here are for information purposes only, to help those who may be interested, learn more about the breeds before making any decisions. It is strongly recommended that thorough research into both the breed and breeders be done prior to bringing a new dog into your home. While this is important for any breed of dog, for the "breeds under development" and rare breeds, the amount of information available may be limited and, therefore, thorough investigation into the history and background is imperative and much care in investigating the registry(ies) to which the dog(s) is recognized is also of utmost importance.
