Have you ever wondered where your dog’s ancestors lived? Illustrator Lili Chin has created a cute way to answer those questions with a poster series called “Dogs Of The World,” which features more than 200 dog breeds, classified by their places of origin. Cute doggies and an educational experience in one beautiful package!
Although she just finished this series, Lili Chin is already working on a new project called ‘The Mutt Collection.” She states on her Etsy page that she is thrilled by the success of her posters and maybe, if she receives enough support, she might do a cat breed series too!
All of these series posters, and many more, are available on Lili’s Etsy store. If you liked her work, scroll down for more and be sure to read the exclusive interview she gave to Bored Panda.

“I created the ‘Dogs of The World’ series for fun. The pet portraits that I do on commission began 7 years ago, as a fund-raising effort for Boston Buddies Rescue, which is where I adopted my dog Boogie.”
“The Dogs of The World series started when I was researching Asian dog breeds for another illustration project. I started drawing Asian dogs (shiba inu, pug, chow chow, etc).”
“I was having so much fun, that I got carried away and found myself researching and drawing dog breeds from other countries. I was very fortunate to have the internet as my image research library and a consultant-friend with a Masters in Ecology, Evolution and Animal Behavior.”
We’d like to thank Lili for giving Bored Panda an interview and we wish her the best of luck!

They forgot Hungarian Dogs: Puli, Viszla, Kuvasz, Komondor, Mudis... I mean geez. LOL
Keesonds are dutch, not german :( i mean, they are the netherlands national dog..
awesome! but perhaps the AMERICAN ESKIMO in this case should be referred to as a SPITZ as it is recognized as a GERMAN DOG?
Its amazing and so lovely :) Can you add Finnish, Norwegian breeds..also there is no Saluki :(
Its amazing and so lovely. Can you add Saluki and Nordic breeds?
Fab - great to see them drawn like this and categorised into country's - Sue , Uk, owner of a GSD and Carpathian sheepdog
Bored Panda - you're the Best , providing us with amazing information and pictures!
Love it! Would be nice to have a few for an art installation! Are they for sale?
I think they omitted the greyhound which could have been placed under either English Dogs or Mediterranean dogs
Did I miss the German Shepherd? I didn't see it on the German poster
Siberian Husky origins from the USA)) German list is not complete, so is Russian.
Oh sorry! I found the Swiss Bread an many others: http://dogsoftheworld-by-lili.tumblr.com/
Polish Greyhound, Polish Hound, Polish Hunting Dog, Polish Lowland Sheepdog,Polish Tatra Sheepdog. Hope they will help grow your cute list:)
This is gorgeous. Can you please do one for all the beautiful Swiss mountain dogs?
I think Portuguese Dogs are missing and we have at least a dozen original breeds, some could at least be on the Mediterranean Dogs
I'm sure I just don't see them, but African dogs? Neat pics though! ;-)
I think this is adorable, but where's the Greyhound? Lots of other breeds are missing too. I wonder if they are on a website somewhere.
Hey did you forgot the nationality of Obama's dog? The beautiful portuguese water dog.... as also all the others beautiful portuguese dogs?
Border Terriers would be a nice addition to the English page. They were originally bred in northern England on the border with Scottland.
Where are the East European dogs? Hungarian Vizsla, Kuvasz, Komondor, Puli
the bloodhound comes from Belgium, not France I believe :) . It is even the symbol of the belgian canine federation…
African dogs Missing? I can think of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Greyhound but I am sure there are more.
What about African dogs? There is no Rhodesian Ridgeback on here :(
I didn't know that my Goldie originated from Scotland. Very cute and informative :)
Cute, but where are African dogs, I couldn't find the sweetest dog breed ever from these posters - Cotton de Tulear - from Madagascar ;)
Have you heard about Hungarian dogs like Puli, Hungarian Vizsla, Pumi, Mudi? You should have....
Collies are Scottish, not Shetland sheepdogs. Those are European in origin. They look similar, but they're not related.
You could have added Hungarian dogs: vizsla, puli komondor, kuvasz, mudi, pumi, ... Just an idea.
Brilliant posters! You need one more with breeds from the Middle-East such as Afghan Hounds and Salukis (my favourite dogs) :)
I like these posters but there are a lot of dogs missing. Example: English breeds, no Staffordshire bull terriers?
All dogs are really nice! But... where are the famous hungarian dogs?
Cute but some mistakes: poodle is a french breed and french bulldog as his name says it is french also!
Great job. In section Mediterranean doggs we have three dogs from Serbia. Serbian hound,Sharplaninac and Tornjak. Wiki "serbian defense dog"
I really like your posters,too bad african dogs (especially basenjis) are not on the list
Landseer is not a Canadian breed!! Is German/Swiss... and NO, is not a Black/White Newfie!
I have updated the post with the missing posters, turns out pomeranian is of German origin!
