Companion Group is the name of a breed group of dogs, used by kennel clubs to classify a defined collection of dog breeds, and does not necessarily include all dogs kept as companions or pets. In some kennel clubs the Companion Group is called the Companion and Toy Group. The international kennel club association, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale has companion dogs in Group 9 Companion and Toy Dogs.

Companion dogs include any dog kept not for work but as a pet. In particular, small dogs such as those of the lapdog type are often thought of as companion dogs, but dogs do not need to be small to be considered companion dogs. The term companion dog does not refer to any one type of dog.
Famous quotes containing the words companion and/or group:
“Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self. And here the computer, a companion without emotional demands, offers a compromise. You can be a loner, but never alone. You can interact, but need never feel vulnerable to another person.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
“around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.”
—William Stafford (1914–1941)
