C3: Meet the Non-Sporting Group

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
