Purebred dogs are usually classified into a group, usually, terriers are smart and very active dogs that were bred to chase rodents and such. They do tend to argue with other dogs and are noisy, and will probably try to be the most dominant.

Gundogs were bred to assist hunters, they are usually less noisy, more easy going and less argumentative then terriers, they are also usually smart dogs.
