We present new results on RR Lyrae stars and anomalous Cepheids in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We have increased the number of double-mode RR Lyrae stars and found three new anomalous Cepheids. With period-magnitude and period-amplitude diagrams, we discuss the Oosterhoff classification of Draco. Contradictory results were found in that Draco appears to contain both Oosterhoff I and II type RR Lyrae populations.
