If the breed you are interested is not listed above, I can still help you decide if it is a good breed for you.

In my experience, most mixed breeds in Hawaii have pit bull in them.  Pit bulls are very common in Hawaii. 

Dog Breeds are arranged by group.  The groouping says a lot about the general characteristics of the breed.  The groups are:

Sporting

Herding

Hound

Working

Terrier

Toy

Non-Sporting

If you want a dog that is a great jogging partner, it is better not to have a toy or northern working breed. 

A great way to learn more about breeds is to attend a local AKC dog show and speak with the owners.

Local breeders are listed in the Ilio magazine found at most pet stores and veternarian offices.
