No dog breeds are listed for Q, U and Z. No dog breeds starting with these letters are on our list.
Breeds come from Princeton WordNet, so some newer breeds such as the Shiba Inu or Australian shepherd are missing. Job names (guide dog, police dog) and group names (terrier, spaniel) are not counted as breeds.

What the rarity tiers mean
- Plankton
- The names everyone says first. Safe, but in a rare-answer game they barely score. 100K+ searches a month
- Too Clever
- Feels like a clever pick, but plenty of other players will think of it too. 10K–100K a month
- Schooler
- Real names many people know but few would say first. 1K–10K a month
- Rare
- Recognizable to enthusiasts; a strong pick in rare-answer games. 100–1K a month
- Deep Cut
- Correct and checkable, but only specialists reach for them. 10–99 a month
- One in a Krillion
- So rarely searched that Google reports almost nothing. Make sure you can explain it. Under 10 a month
