Dogs are canines considered to be human's best friends. These animals have
different characteristics such as weight, height or origin that distinguish and making
them unique in their species. But they have similar aspects that allow us to
recognize them as dogs, for example, the group or the size.

In this essay two dogs will be contrasted, the first is Border Collie which is from
England, Scotland and Wale, whereas German Shepherd is from Germany. The
Border Collie's average weight is 17 kg in males and 15.5 kg in females. In contrast to
the German Shepherd's average weight of males is 35 kg and the female is 27.

In addition, The Border Collie's averages height is 52 cm in males, whereas the

height of females is 49.5. Unlike the German Shepherd's averages height male is
62.5 cm while the female is 57.5 cm . Both have similarities in regard to group and
size. Both are part of Pastoral Dogs and the size of both are large.

Those animals are well known for their characteristics, in which case they are both
very good purebred dogs with certain similarities, but what stands out in them are
their particularities that make them unique.
