Dog groups are human categorizations of dog breeds according to specific criteria. Dogs belonging to any one group are supposed to have something in common, although there is a lot of diversity within each dog group. It is generally a better idea to pick a dog based on the breed rather than the group to which it belongs. It is with the breed that you get accurate information about personality, skills, health issues, grooming requirements, etc. All of these things vary within the major groupings. Still, it is important to understand the basic features of each dog group so that you can narrow down your interests.
