What breeds of dogs are in this word search puzzle?

The American Kennel Club currently recognizes 200 different breeds of dogs. (Reference) That is a lot of dogs!

I couldn’t fit all those breeds into one puzzle so I’ve selected 15 breeds to include into the word search.

This dog breeds word search has the following breeds in the puzzle:

  • Border Collie
  • Chihuahua
  • Dachshund
  • Bulldog
  • German Shepherd
  • Siberian Husky
  • Great Dane
  • Greyhound
  • Maltese
  • Poodle
  • Labrador retriever
  • Pomeranian
  • Pug
  • Rottweiler
  • Doberman Pinscher 

Does it include your favorite type of dog? Or are you frowning like a basset hound because your Chow Chow or Saint Bernard wasn’t on the list? 🙂
