They have a double coat of thick fur, erect triangle-shaped ears, and often have various markings on their coat. Huskies are highly active dogs as their ancestors lived in one of the coldest places like Siberia, where primitive Huskies were bred by the Chukchi people in Northeast Asia for the purpose of pulling sleds over long distances in harsh cold conditions. This breed was brought to Alaska during the gold rush in Nome and later became popular in the United States and Canada. Initially bred for sled-pulling, Huskies eventually transitioned to become family pets.

The Pitbull is a breed of domestic dog originating from America, bred in England for home protection and also used in dog fighting. They are a selected breed from the Bull and Terrier breeds. They are known for their ferocity, tenacity, courage, and are dubbed as cold-blooded killers or warrior dogs.

The English Bulldog, also known as Bulldog or Bully, is a large-headed, robust, and courageous breed from the United Kingdom. Bulldogs have their origins from ancient Asian mastiffs but truly flourished in England. Initially bred for bull-baiting, they were later used as watchdogs. Highly revered by many universities and institutions in the UK and the US, Bulldogs are increasingly chosen as pets due to their temperament and appearance. They are also known for being lazy and prone to obesity due to their fondness for eating and reluctance to exercise. This breed has a long history of development. The name Bulldog originates from their strong, bull-like appearance and their strength, derived from their sturdy, muscular physique, reminiscent of muscle-bound bulls. Bulldogs are known for their enduring vitality and readiness for combat, especially during the bloody battles against bulls. These bloody fights were banned in the 19th century and remain prohibited to this day. Bulldogs have undergone significant changes, especially in the 19th century, when standard dog fights became popular. Initially, Bulldogs were used as bait dogs in bull-baiting. At that time, they had higher hindquarters than their descendants. In 1835, bull-baiting was banned in England, and Bulldogs were transferred to dog fighting, but in this field, Bulldogs were less favored than Bull Terriers because the latter were smaller and easier to conceal during illegal dog fights. Consequently, the Bulldog breed became less popular. However, their image has since been revived to become a popular companion dog. This breed can be considered as one of the important factors contributing to the creation of some new dog breeds through genetic engineering. Typically, people choose the favorable traits of Bulldogs for breeding new dog breeds such as Bully Dogs or Bully Terriers. It is because of these good qualities that breeders have selected them. Bulldogs have short legs, unattractive faces, and often pant heavily, but they are very gentle, courageous, and easy to groom.

The Saint Bernard is a very large breed of dog from Italy and the Swiss Alps, originally bred for rescue purposes.

Over the first two centuries AD, they flourished and became widespread. Centuries later, Saint Bernards were used in special missions, gradually also being bred on farms to herd sheep and livestock. In monasteries and hospices, they followed monks on rescue missions after avalanches. This large breed of dog has been used for hauling, guarding treasure, and herding sheep on farms.
