Which of the following is NOT a type of AKC dog?

Working
Toy
Purebred
Herding

The correct answer is: Purebred

The classification of dog breeds by the American Kennel Club (AKC) includes specific groups that categorize dogs based on their common traits, purposes, or functions. The categories include Working, Toy, and Herding, among others. Each of these groups features specific breeds designed for particular roles or companionship. In contrast, "Purebred" does not represent a category or type of dog breed recognized by the AKC; rather, it describes the lineage and ancestry of a dog. A purebred dog is one whose parents are both of the same breed and are recognized as such by the AKC or other kennel clubs. Therefore, while a purebred dog can belong to one of the AKC recognized groups (like Working, Toy, or Herding), "Purebred" itself is not a classification system used by the AKC. This distinction clarifies why "Purebred" is the correct answer as it does not fit into the types of breeds categorized by the AKC.
