French Dog Breed Names

On this page you’ll find a complete list of the top-20 most popular French dog breed names (les races de chiens). The good news is that most dog breeds in French are exact same as in English. For example, the Golden Retriever is “le golden retriever” and the Chihuahua is “le chihuahua“. In some situations the French use only the first name of the breed, for example “le labrador” for Labrador Retriever and “le cocker” for Cocker Spaniel. In this list we’ve included “le beauceron” and poodle (le caniche) as they are French breeds. This is an audio vocabulary list. Click on any of the French words or pictures, listen and repeat!
