Objective: The present study was documented to explore the dog diversity and different types of Dog breeds in district Buner. Methods: The current study was carried out from August 2021 to August 2022. During the study 11 different types of breeds were identified in district Buner. Results: The identified species of Dog in district Buner consist of German shepherd (Canis lupus familiaris), Pointer dog (Canislupus), American eskimo dog (Canis lupus), Siberian huskey (Canis lupus familaris), Belgium shepherd (Canis lupus), Bull terrier (Canis lupus), American Labrador (Canis lupus familaris), Toy poodle (Canis lupus familiaris), Gull doing (Canis lupus), Stray dog (Canis lupus domesticus) and vikhan sheep dog (Canis lupus domesticus). Conclusion: About 40 different specimens of dogs were collected in each tehsil. During the investigation Stray dogs were the most dominant breed followed by German shepherd.
