Do I capitalize the names of dog breeds?

Do I capitalize the names of dog breeds?

Don't capitalize canine breed names all the time. Many breed names are made up of capitalized proper words and lowercased generic terms (like retriever or terrier). 

Breed names frequently include a place name, as seen in the following references to the nation of origin of the breed:

French bulldog

German shepherd

Irish setter

Portuguese water dog

Sometimes the place-name refers to a region within a country:

Airedale terrier

Akita

Brittany spaniel

Labrador retriever

A generic term of foreign origin might also be combined with a place-name:

Lhasa apso

Another formulation for breed names includes the name of the person who created the breed:

Doberman pinscher

Gordon setter

Jack Russell terrier

Many breed names are composed entirely of generic terms, even though the terms may no longer be common parlance or may be of foreign origin:

affenpinscher

cocker spaniel

miniature schnauzer

Yet other breed names are capitalized according to convention and for clarity:

Old English sheepdog 

Shiba Inu

These same guidelines apply to other animal breeds, like cats or cattle:

Maine coon

Texas longhorn

Consult a dictionary like Merriam-Webster when you’re uncertain.

The Most Dangerous Dog In The World

10. Boxer Though not typically aggressive by nature, they are listed in our 25 most dangerous dogs breed list due to 48 negative incidents involving the breed from 1982 to 2012. Originally from Germany where they can grow from 50 to 70 lbs, their bright, playful and energetic personalities are countered by their ‘headstrong’ characteristic.

9. Wolf Hybrid As the name implies, the Wolf Hybrid also known as the Wolf dog is a cross breed between a dog and a wolf (typically a grey wolf). Consequently, Wolf-dog hybrids are a mixture of genetic traits resulting in less predictable behavior patterns compared to either the wolf or dog.

8. Chow Chow Though they seem to be distant and independent, this breed of dogs requires staunch attention from their owners if they do not want them to grow aggressive and ill- bred. Originally from China, the 50 to 70 lbs Chow Chow can also be referred as Songshi Quan or ‘puffy-lion dog.’ This dog has discernment skills against strangers and can be fiercely protective of their owners. Consider as high-risks dogs, they are considered as ‘unacceptable’ and may require insurance due to 238 fatalities from dog bites from 1979 to 1998. Though they can be housed in apartments, they need daily physical activities and exercises so as not to become dangerous as pets.

7. Doberman Pinschers Famed for their alertness, loyalty and intelligence, this breed of dogs is considered to be the best guard dog where they only attack if they are provoked or sense that their family and their property is in danger. A breed of domestic dog that originated from Germany in 1890 developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Doberman, hence the name; they can weigh as much as 65 to 90 lbs.

6. Huskies Used to pull sleds in the northern regions and differentiated for their fast pulling style, they were also utilized for sled dog racing and for adventure trekking. However, they can be dangerous to smaller animals due to their strong predator instinct and are known for being destructive if they are bored.

5. Alaskan Malamutes A breed of dog related to the Siberian Husky, this breed requires daily exercises to be happy, else they will become bored, disobedient and destructive. This large breed of domestic dog can grow from 70 to 100 lbs and are perfect companion for pursuits like carting, mushings, bikejoring, and skijoring.

4. Rottweiler Rottweilers are a powerful breed with well-developed genetic herding and guarding instincts. As with any breed, potentially dangerous behavior in Rottweilers usually results from irresponsible ownership, abuse, neglect, or lack of socialization and training. Nevertheless, the Rottweiler’s strength is something that should not be overlooked.

3. German Shepherd A breed of dogs that originated from Germany, the German Shepherd can weigh as much as 70 to 100 lbs. Known for being intelligent, confident, alert, vigilant, and fearless; the police use them for their K-9 units. However, caution must be exercised with Shepherds as they can become overprotective of their family and territory, and if not socialized correctly; can lead to attacks.

2. Pitbull The term ‘pit bull’ encompasses certain breeds of dog from the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire bull terrier, the American Staffordshire terrier, and the American Bulldog. Originally bred for baiting bulls and bears the majority of their breeds were also used for dog fighting in numerous parts of the world and is considered as the most dangerous dog in America.

1. Caucasian Ovcharka The Caucasian Ovcharka also known as the Caucasian Shepherd, was bred to protect livestock. The typical Caucasian Ovcharka is assertive, strong-willed and courageous. However, unless properly socialized and trained, the Caucasian Shepherd may exhibit ferocious and unmanageable tendencies since it does not accept people it does not know and has a powerful urge to defend.
