What is a group of dogs commonly referred to as?

A group of dogs is commonly referred to as a "pack." This term is often used to describe a group of canines living, hunting, or traveling together, reflecting their social nature and instinctual behaviors similar to those observed in wild dog species, such as wolves. In the context of domesticated dogs, the concept of a pack emphasizes their ability to socialize and form hierarchies within a group.

The other terms listed have different meanings. "Herd" typically refers to a group of grazing animals such as sheep or cattle. "Clowder" is a term specifically used for a group of cats. "Group" is a very general term that can be used for any collection of animals but lacks the specific connotation that "pack" does in relation to dogs.
