Below are seven groups of dogs listed and their common characteristics. This will give you some information and help you narrow your search.

Classifications of dogs:

Companion Dog/ Toy: Usually very small dogs whose only job is to be in the company of their humans (Chinese Crested)

Herding Dog: Active dogs who are known for their herding ability (Australian Shepherd)

Gun Dog/ Sporting Dog: Active dogs who love retrieving on land or in the Water(Golden Retriever)

Guardian Dogs: Dogs who love to watch over people, property, or livestock (Great Pyrenees)

Non-Sporting Dogs: These are dogs whose purpose differs from all of the others mentioned though they are too different to give one general classification. (Bulldog)

Scent Hounds: Dogs with excellent noses and a high prey drive (Bloodhound)

Sight Hounds: Dogs with excellent eyes and a high prey drive (Saluki)

there is also the Abe Lincoln dog!!!cute and funny

None. Dogs are dogs. Amazing
Well, this is a hard question to answer because there are new breeds being created, but for now, there are about 400 purebred dog breeds.

How do you find what dog to get?

To find out what type of dog to get, you can research different breeds or go to an animal shelter and ask them about different breed's personalities. Some dogs, like the basenji, are good if you live in an apartment because they can't bark. Others need a big yard to run in. If you don't have to many restrictions on personality, you can always adopt from the local shelter where you can ask what type of personality an individual dog has. I hope you find the right dog suited for your lifestyle!
