Dog shows are broken down into several groups, which encompass many different breeds. The groups are generally organized based on the type of job each breed was originally created to do.
In AKC- and CKC-sanctioned shows such as Westminster, the groups are:
- 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)
In The Kennel Club shows in Europe, such as Crufts, the groups are named slightly differently:
- Gundog (same as the AKC 'Sporting' group)
- Hound (same as the AKC 'Hound' group)
- Pastoral (same as the AKC 'Herding' group)
- Terrier (same as the AKC 'Terrier' group)
- Toy (same as the AKC 'Toy' group)
- Utility (same as the AKC 'Non-Sporting' group)
- Working (same as the AKC 'Working' group)
These groups are further broken down into individual breeds, and breeds are broken down into several classes based mostly on the dog's age and gender.
