The number of different dog breeds is large. The FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) currently recognizes almost 350 different breeds worldwide. Estimates that include breeds that are not recognized by the FCI even assume 800 and in some cases considerably more dog breeds.
The FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) is the largest association dealing with cynology. Cynology is the science of breeding, care, education, behaviour, diseases and breeds of domestic dogs.
The declared aim of the FCI is to promote the breeding of pedigree dogs and their welfare throughout the world. Descriptions of dog breeds are published in four different languages (German, English, Spanish and French).
It remains to be seen whether future dog owners will follow the FCI classification. For most future dog owners the size of their four-legged friends is probably more important than the typical behaviour of a dog breed.
Not every breed is suitable for beginners. After all, a pedigree dog is not only characterized by a certain appearance, but also by certain traits. In particular hunting and herding dogs belong to the breeds around which the first owners of a dog should rather make a bow. Here either a pronounced hunting instinct or a protective instinct can cause problems to untrained persons.
Much better are for example Golden Retriever, Pug, Labrador, Poodle and French Bulldog. These usually have a gentle and friendly nature, which makes these breeds very suitable for beginners.
