Hey there, I’m Dot.
I spent over a decade studying animal behavior in the field—tracking wolves, bears, and just about everything with four legs. But it was dogs that really got under my skin. How we bred them, shaped them, and somehow ended up with 200+ breeds that all started from the same ancestor? That’s the kind of rabbit hole I love diving into.
So I started DogBreedTypes.com to share what I’ve learned—the real, unfiltered truth about different breeds. Not the glossy stuff you see in magazines, but the actual temperament, health issues, exercise needs, and whether that “perfect Instagram dog” is actually perfect for your life.
I live in Montana with my two Karelian Bear Dogs, Yukon and Denali—a rare breed most people have never heard of, which pretty much sums up why I made this site. Every breed has a story, a purpose, and quirks that make them tick.
Whether you’re trying to figure out if a Border Collie will destroy your apartment, or you want to know why your Beagle won’t stop howling, I’ve got you covered.
No fluff. No BS. Just honest information from someone who’s spent way too much time thinking about dogs.
