We present preliminary results from two observing campaigns where global photometric data for most dwarf galaxies in the M81 and M101 groups as well as some field dwarfs were obtained. The galaxies in the denser M81 group are more often of dwarf elliptical type and are redder and fainter than those of the M101 group and surrounding field, which are mostly of the dwarf irregular types. But both types follow the same total magnitude - central surface brightness relation, so there might be an evolutionary connection between the two classes.
