Balanced Obedience Has Trained the Dog Breeds Listed Below
We can offer you assistance in choosing the right dog breed for you and how to pick the right puppy for what you are looking for. If the breed you are interested is not listed below, I can still help you decide if it is a good breed for you. In my experience, most mixed breeds in Hawaii have pit bull in them. Pit bulls are very common in Hawaii.
Dog Breed Groups
Dog Breeds are arranged by group. The grouping says a lot about the general characteristics of the breed. The groups are:
- Sporting
- Herding
- Hound
- Working
- Terrier
- Toy
- Non-Sporting
If you want a dog that is a great jogging partner, it is better not to have a toy or northern working breed. A great way to learn more about breeds is to attend a local AKC dog show and speak with the owners. Local breeders are listed in the Ilio magazine (Island Dog Magazine) found at most pet stores and veterinarian offices.
