Canine Name Game: The Wacky World of Dog Breed Misnomers

In this episode, we explore beloved canine breeds whose modern names may have gotten a little bit lost in translation over time. Just as humans have migrated all over the earth, so have their loyal, hardworking companions. War, wealth, and trade have all distributed dogs over diverse geographic areas (or in some cases, jobs) that may or may not match up with their monikers. Only true dog enthusiasts could win trivia night at the local tavern if the topic were the origins of dog breed names (you can thank us later).
Bonafide Bits:
• Great Danes are originally from Germany.
• Australian Shepherds are more at home in the American West than in Sydney.
• Newfoundlands and Labrador Retrievers-both from Newfoundland-share a common lineage.
• The first Italian Greyhounds are believed to be from Greece.
• Ancestors of Japanese Chins are from China.
Featured Breeds:
Great Dane
This breed is indeed great, but not a Dane. As tall as 32 inches at the shoulder, Danes tower over most other dogs, and when standing on their hind legs, they are taller than most people. Despite their sweet nature, Danes are alert home guardians. Patient with kids, Danes are people pleasers who make friends easily. Discover more about Great Danes: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/great-...
Old English Sheepdog
The Old English Sheepdog is the archetypical shaggy dog, famous for his profuse coat and peek-a-boo hairdo, a distinctive bear-like gait, and a mellow, agreeable nature. Great with children, they make patient, protective playmates. More about Old English Sheepdogs: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/old-en...
Australian Shepherd
The Australian Shepherd, a lean, tough ranch dog, is one of those “only in America” stories: a European breed perfected in California by way of Australia. Aussies exhibit an irresistible impulse to herd, anything: birds, dogs, kids. This strong work drive can make Aussies too much dog for a sedentary pet owner.

Norwegian Elkhound
The Norwegian Elkhound is a robust spitz type known for his lush silver-gray coat and dignified but friendly demeanor. They sailed with the Vikings and figured in Norse art and legend. These strong, confident dogs are truly sensitive souls, with a dash of houndy independence. More about Norwegian Elkhounds: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/norweg...
Newfoundland
The massive Newfoundland is a strikingly large, powerful working dog of heavy bone and dignified bearing. The sweet-tempered Newfie is a famously good companion and has earned a reputation as a patient dog that does well with kids. More about Newfoundlands: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/newfou...
Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard does not rank very high in AKC registrations, but the genial giant of the Swiss Alps is nonetheless among the world’s most famous and beloved breeds. Saints are famously watchful, patient, and careful with children. More about Saint Bernards: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/st-ber...
Greyhound
Greyhounds are the essence of the dog breeder’s credo “Form follows function.” From the narrow, aerodynamic skull to the shock-absorbing pads of the feet, Greyhounds are perfectly constructed for high-speed pursuit. More about Greyhounds: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/greyho...
Italian Greyhound
A true Greyhound in miniature, the elegant Italian Greyhound is an alert, playful, and highly affectionate toy companion. IGs make decorative couch dogs, but at heart, they are flash-and-dash coursing hounds with an instinct for pursuit. More about Italian Greyhounds: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/italia...
Black Russian Terrier
The Black Russian Terrier is a large, immensely powerful worker of heavy bone and coarse all-black coat. BRTs are known for their courage, confidence, and intelligence. Bred to guard and protect, they are naturally aloof with strangers. More about Black Russian Terriers: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/black-...
Siberian Husky
The graceful, medium-sized Siberian Husky’s almond-shaped eyes can be either brown or blue and sometimes one of each, and convey a keen but amiable, and even mischievous expression. As born pack dogs, they enjoy family life and get on well with other dogs. These are energetic dogs who can’t resist chasing small animals, so secure room to run is a must. More about Siberian Huskies: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/siberi...
Japanese Chin
Chin are the unrivaled noblemen of Japanese breeds. The head is large, the muzzle short, and the round, dark eyes convey, as Chin fans like to say, a “look of astonishment.” More about Japanese Chins: www.akc.org/dog-breeds/japane...
