NON SPORTING GROUP

Non-sporting dogs are a diverse group. Here are sturdy animals with as different personalities and

appearances as the Chow Chow, Dalmatian, French Bulldog, and Keeshond. Talk about differences in size,

coat, and visage! Some, like the Schipperke and Tibetan Spaniel are uncommon sights in the average neighborhood. Others, however, like the Poodle and Lhasa Apso, have quite a large following. The breeds in the Non-Sporting Group are a varied collection in

terms of size, coat, personality and overall appearance.
