We are familiar with such dog breeds as the poodle and
Labrador retriever. There are other breeds less known, especially in this
country. Below, I have given a short
description of several of these less-known dog breeds.

which also presented us the schnauzers. The affenpinscher is thought to be the most suitable for a family pet as it is very intelligent, easy to train of a
