List of Dog Breeds Recognized by the CKC

We built this lens to provide information on dog breeds, based on our experiences with dogs and research we have done. We also found pictures of different dog breeds, so you can see what they look like, because the CKC website doesn't have any.

Breed All About It

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breed All About It is a show that headlines one breed of dog and gives you facts and tips about that breed. It is shown on Animal Planet. The series is hosted by Cam "Buzz" Brainard.

Earlier episodes of the series were significantly different from the later episodes due to their production for non-commercial airing on networks like the BBC networks or PBS. After the show moved to Animal Planet permanently, episodes became more structured, with specific segments dealing with specific aspects about the dog breed (a general introduction, the breed's history, specific health concerns for that breed, an offbeat or humorous segment featuring the unique traits of the breed, and a summary guide for what prospective owners should know about the breed).

Occasionally segments within episodes will feature one or more celebrities who own the featured dog breed, including their testimonials about life with their dogs. Some of the celebrities featured on Breed All About It include Susan Ford and her Golden Retrievers, Greg Louganis and his Great Danes, Lorrie Morgan and her Japanese Chin, and Andrew Weil and his Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
