Would you believe that there is a dog breed for every letter of the alphabet? Well, yep, there absolutely is one starting with every single letter, even tough ones like X and Z! Letters like S are not the hardest ones to come up with one or two breeds. But there are many more than just the common ones you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have put together this list to show you some of the dog breeds that start with S. Whether you’re looking for a new breed to get or just want to learn more, you’ll get that here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shiba Inu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compact but athletic, the body of a Shiba Inu is coated in muscle, helping it compete in many dog sports. They are one of the native breeds of Japan. You might recognize them from a lot of internet memes<\/a>, too (doge!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re highly independent dogs who don’t need constant attention, so they’re all right to spend a lot of time alone. They make perfect apartment dogs, too, because they don’t need to exercise too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are one of the most popular dog breeds beginning with S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Scotchi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Often called a Scotchahua, a Scotchi is a hybrid dog made by combining a Chihuahua and a Scottish Terrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These little dogs have lots of character, sometimes displaying the “big dog in a little body<\/a>” syndrome known to Chihuahuas. This is a dog breed starting with S that many people don’t know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are ideal for children’s homes because they often fight for affection and can be competitive in the aggressive way that Chihuahuas often do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Schneagle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Schneagle is a cross between the Schnauzer Miniature and the Beagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Schneagles are hypoallergenic<\/a>, making them perfect for people who want to own a dog despite allergies. They are all caring and faithful companions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do just as well in homes with yards and apartments without them, but they’re established escape artists, so make sure the yard is locked close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Bernard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, Saint Bernard is not that famous. But it’s also one of the most popular dogs in the world. The Beethoven movie series<\/a> was about a family dog of this breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are huge and very muscular, yet they are still very calm and happy. Looks can be deceiving in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re also known as nanny dogs due to how good they are with kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Southern Russian Sheepdog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This herding dog is tall, heavy, and almost looks like the sheep they’re supposed to be herding! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These dogs have incredible stamina that helps them patrol and defends their territories almost continuously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their naturally defensive temperament ensures that no threat is unnoticed, a quality that makes them outstanding guardian dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shar-Pei <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shar-Pei is a Chinese dog easily identifiable by rolls of loose skin on its face and body. Michelin Man would probably look like that if he was a dog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many dog breeds start with S, but this one is less known. They are mid-sized dogs with physical features that make them excellent guardians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are extremely loyal to the family while being cautious and untrustworthy of outsiders. So they can be ideal as guard dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
