Are you a cat lover or a dog lover? If you’re a cat lover, this article might be a little challenging for you. Although, honestly, there are many types of cats out there, aren’t there? Maine Coon, Tonkinese, Russian Blue; but for our purposes this time, we’re going to focus on dogs.
The American Kennel Club recognizes 200 different dog breeds. However, they acknowledge that there are 340 different breeds worldwide. If you’re curious, there are at least 73 recognized cat breeds, but the official establishment and recognition for cats is a little less intense and strict compared to dogs.
Now, try to imagine any other animal you can think of. How many breeds do you think there are of giraffes? What about chimpanzees? In fact, what about humans? There may have been more than 21 species of humans, but that’s not entirely the same thing. Plus, compared to 340 breeds, that’s still very few.
