Non-Sporting Group

The Non-Sporting Group is a category of dog breeds recognized by organizations like the American Kennel Club. These dogs are versatile, with diverse appearances and purposes, but they are not specifically bred for sports, hunting, or herding. Instead, they often serve as companions, watchdogs, or show dogs. Examples include the Bulldog, Dalmatian, and Poodle. They typically have calm temperaments, are adaptable to urban living, and may require regular grooming. Overall, the Non-Sporting Group includes dogs with varied histories and characteristics, united by their common role as well-rounded companions and family pets.
