This cosmopolitan bunch seems to include all the breeds that did not fit comfortably into any of the other groups. A more acceptable name might be the "Companion Group". The Non-Sporting group includes many different personalities and appearances such as the French Bulldog, the Dalmatian, the Poodles and the Chow Chow. As a generalization, the term "companion" does indeed cover them all, but there are varying degrees of companionability. The dogs in the Non-Sporting Group are a varied collection in terms of personality, size, coat, and overall appearance.
