These dogs are the ones who didn’t quite fit into any of the other groups.1 So they have a group of their own! All the dogs in this group vary wildly in size, appearance, and personality.2

Some of the dogs you’ll recognize in this group are:

  • Boston Terrier
  • Chow Chow
  • Bulldog
  • Dalmatian
  • French Bulldog
  • Shiba Inu
  • Poodle2

Non-Sporting dogs tend to be good house dogs and watchdogs.2 Some are more active than others in their group, but in general, most of the dogs in the Non-Sporting Group need moderate exercise and don’t need to be running around all the time in order to burn off their energy.3

Which dog in the Non-Sporting Group is your favorite? Let us know by replying to this email or tagging us on social media at @passport2wildlife!

All the best,
Chris & the WERC Team
