Dog Breeds List T-U

Here on this Dog Breeds List T-U are all the world's dog breeds that begin with the letters T and U.   Please feel free to let me know if I've forgotten a breed or two. 

This continues to be a work in progress because new breeds are being developed every day. If there is another dog breed that should be included on this Dog Breeds List T-U, please contact me. and I will add it promptly.

Breeders worldwide work hard to either preserve nearly extinct breeds or develop new ones with special abilities, looks or characteristics.

With so many new and redeveloped breeds, its hard to distinguish between pure bred and  those that have more than one type of DNA in their pedigree.

Don't assume that a purebred dog makes a superior pet just because Dog Breeds Expert has concentrated on bringing out the world's dog breeds. 

If you are considering the addition of a new canine into your home, please rescue!
