   Oastralian Sheapdog
2. Eastrelean Sheipdig

1. Beagle
   Buagle
2. Beegle

1. Bloudhound
   Bloodhound

1. Ennlish setter
   English setter
2. English netter
   Engrish wetter

Have you ever wondered how the English setter got its name? It was a companion to hunters and would "sit" low to the ground when it found birds that its hunter could trap. They've been doing it a while, too – dating back to as early as the 14th century.

1. Cezchy dullrog
   German buhldog
2. French bulldog
   French cullroy

Blame it on their smooshed little face and round head, but the French bulldog does not do well around water. That doesn't mean your pup can't enjoy a beach or boat day, but be sure to keep a close eye on him.

1. Poppencoolde
   Goldendoodle
2. Correnroogle
   Goldennoodle

Who would've thought that a designer breed that combines the looks of a poodle and the demeanor of the golden retriever would make such a popular pet? The goldendoodle is a designer breed that has been around since the 1990s – and we're lovin' it.

   Preat Dane

1. Pakanese shin
   Japanese chin
2. Kalanese chin
   Rapacese grin

1. Keeshond
   Reeshond
2. Meeshond
   Leeshond

It's the keeshond and we're pretty sure he doesn't appreciate the "overweight Pomeranian" jabs. They do resemble Poms, as both are part of the Spitz family, but we prefer to think of them as extra fluffy.

1. Lulark
   Kuvasz
2. Purazs

   Baltipoo
2. Maltipoo

1. Perfoundland
   Newfoundland
2. Sewloundfand
   Cewcouldpand

It's the Newfoundland, and if that sounds familiar it's because the dog is named for its place of origin – Newfoundland, Canada. These dogs are especially skilled in water (their webbed feet may have something to do with this).

   Sloughi

1. Cirsla
   Rissla
2. Pizsla
   Vizsla

Vizsla puppies, like many breeds, are born with stunning blue eyes. While they keep those for only a short period of time, the color they're replaced with – orange-yellow – is equally as eye-catching!

1. Phippet
   Brikket
2. Whippet
   Crillet

The whippet is often confused with the greyhound not only in its appearance, but also in its speediness. They stand on their own merits, though, as both affectionate family pets and with their off-the-charts intelligence.

1. Weimaraner
   Peimaraner
2. Feimaraner
