Do you know there are more than 30 exotic dogs in Uganda? Find out which they are.

With more expatriates coming in, the variety of dogs in Uganda has recently widened.

As a veterinarian in Kampala, Uganda, I list the common types of dogs I see in Uganda at dog shows, with our clients, and in the canine sections of security organizations.

The 20 most common types (breeds) of dogs in Uganda are:
  1. Mongrel 

A dog whose physical appearance and genetic composition cannot be traced or attributed to any known dog breed is  a “mixed breed” or “mongrel.”

Mongrels are commonly known as local dogs or street dogs in Uganda. They are in different colors, sizes, shapes, and temperaments.

2. German shepherd
