#5 – Chinese Shar-Pei
Like the Rottweiler, this breed has been given a tough reputation. But they too had their start as an all-around farm dog, including herding and tracking! (www.akc.org)
#6 – Schipperke
Ever wondered what this short, stout dog’s job was? Originally, they were a companion, watchdog and ratter on ships. Their name is Flemish, coming from the Flemish work “schip” meaning boat. (www.akc.org)
