Welcome to Beyond the Breed

The first website in the World dedicated to Canine Functional Characters

  • Imagine a better success rate in completion of training for Assistance Dogs than the current 50%?
  • Imagine breeders being able to place pups into homes where each one will complement the life and requirements of their new family?
  • Imagine it being rare to see rescue dogs advertised as “must be the only dog in the home”!

In 2018, Dogs Today Magazine reported that 1 in 10 pups are given up after just one month! And in March 2022, a report by Pets4Homes told us that 20% of dogs in rescue centres had already been rehomed once! How much longer do we put dogs through this?

Have you ever struggled with training or seen a behaviourist, only to end up back at square one? We believe that looking at dogs from a different perspective will help identify why training isn't working.

We all want the best for our pets, and understanding functional characters gives us the edge. It’s not about simply giving dogs another label, but about using this knowledge as a doorway to a deeper bond with your dog.

BEING ABLE TO TAILOR TRAINING, LIFE CARE, AND SOCIALISING TO AN INDIVIDUAL DOG IS A GAMECHANGER!

Understanding functional characters in dogs can benefit everyone, particularly if you live or work with dogs, and we are sure you will agree that a deeper insight into our pets can only improve and enhance our relationship with them.

Who We Are

We are a group of dog enthusiasts and professionals in the North of England, obsessed with understanding our dogs more deeply - helping us connect with them more easily and enabling them to live their best lives.
