Yes, the AKC has seven groups that it sorts breeds into. Generally the breeds are categorized based on what they were originally bred to do.

Sporting -- includes hunting dogs such as the Labrador Retriever or English Setter.

Hound -- includes scenthounds like the Beagle or Bloodhound and also sighthounds such as the Greyhound or Basenji.

Working -- includes dogs bred to do a specific job like the Newfoundland for water rescue or the Siberian Husky for sledding.

Terrier -- includes all terrier breeds such as the Bull Terrier or Irish Terrier.

Toy -- includes companion dogs like the Chihuahua or Pekingese.

Non-Sporting -- sort of the miscellaneous group for dogs that don't fall into the other categories and includes dogs like the Dalmatian and the Bichon Frise.

Herding -- includes all livestock dogs like the Australian Shepherd and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
