Dog breeds worksheets

Dogs are often known as “man’s best friend”. They are beautiful animals and wonderful company for those who keep them as pets. Here are some picture and vocabulary matching worksheets containing common dog breeds. You can use them in lessons about pets or animals to teach the names of different dog species.

Each worksheet has different artwork and dog breeds, so be sure to scroll through them all and find the best one for your class. At the bottom of the page, you will also find a dog breeds wordsearch for a bit of extra fun.

For advanced learners, you can go on to talk about the nature of each breed and what kind of person owns them. You could also practise comparatives and superlatives with the breeds. For example, a Rottweiler is more dangerous than a Poodle, Chihuahuas are the smallest, etc. Finally, ask the students which animal they’d prefer as a pet and why.
