Dog breeds

Working dog breeds from 1914.

The selection of particular traits – or selective breeding – is how people have bred dogs for specific purposes. For example the 'sausage dog' – or dachshund were said to have been bred specifically for hunting badgers – their short, long body suited to entering badger holes.

Working dog breeds from The New Student’s Reference Work published in 1914.
