In this game, see if you can match modern dog breeds with the country or region where their forebears arose. As you'll see, while many of the dogs we know and love have an impressively long lineage, others are younger, owing their existence to the tinkering of breeders over just the last century or two.

Match 14 dogs to the environment they were bred for, from the rugged mountains of Argentina to the Australian outback.
