Need help identifying your dog? Here are some important tips to help you succeed.

Upvotes

What to include in your post:

Post clear, well-lit, full body pictures. At minimum, include:

  • One standing side view (taken close enough to see coat texture)
  • One frontal view

Tell us your dog’s age and weight (or best guess)


Other helpful information:

YOUNG PUPPIES may be impossible to identify. Head and body shape, coat color and coat pattern, eye color, and apparent coat texture can all change dramatically as a puppy matures. You might want to wait a few months before seeking an ID.

MIXED-BREED dogs can easily have many breeds in them, not just two. Keep in mind that some of the breeds in a mutt may not show in its looks; while in other cases the dog may really look like it has some particular breed in it, when in fact it doesn’t.

NO-BREED dogs exist too! Sometimes a mutt truly is “just a mutt” — the result of many, many generations of random mating between mutts, with no discernable inbred (purebred) genes its DNA. In the same way that YOU don't necessarily have any inbreeding (purebreeding) in your recent family tree, neither must a dog. They can simply be mutts — WHICH IS A GOOD THING!

Open This is Samus. The humane society I got her from said she might be Australian Shepherd and Labrador. She's not at all but I wanna see if anyone can guess her breed.

He LOVES the snow and the cold weather. He is talkative and very expressive. He loves to jump when he is excited.

What the heck kind of dog did I pick up?

I live in Puerto Rico and found this guy injured on a golf course a couple of months ago.

When doing the daily evening walk with my dogs, we started seeing this guy on a local public golf course. He wouldnt approach people and liked to play with other peoples' dogs. One day we found him with a serious head wound that needed attention so I took him in and got him cleaned up and on antibiotics. He imprinted on me almost right away, and after a few weeks he became very defensive of me, my dogs, and my property. He is very aggressive towards anyone trying to come into my fenced yard and even other dogs in the neighborhood. However, he is very smart and ive started training him a bit and seeing progress already.

I tried to include several angles for you. My pupper's mom was a full chihuahua, but she was rescued from a puppy mill while pregnant and they didn't know the breed of the father. My thoughts are either whippet or Italian greyhound? But I honestly don't know much about dog breeds. She's 13.8 pounds at her last vet visit. Her chest is about 17 inches around, if that's helpful. She's very much a velcro dog. She wants to be around me all the time. She's the SWEETEST dog ever, she loves visitors, but she's also very protective (hates people being in the hallway). She really only barks when there are people outside, otherwise isn't vocal at all. She loves to cuddle with her whole body. She's very social with my friends and vistors. Idk if the extra personality stuff is helpful, but figured it wouldn't hurt to include.

Hey everyone! What do you think my dog is?

She’s 2.5 years old now. I found her when she was just a few months old after someone had dumped her next to some bins in a remote mountain area in Bulgaria. All the kids think she is a fox , heh

She’s the sweetest girl, and I’ve always wondered what breeds might be in the mix.

this is my sweet girl Lucy who i lost back in May, she was 10 1/2. we were very curious about her pedigree and planned on getting her a DNA test but she unfortunately passed before we ever got around to it. we always just said she was a shepsky, but i feel like there could be something else in there because i can’t find photos anywhere of a shepsky that looks like her! she was really one of a kind, i miss her lots. i honestly just want an excuse to talk about her🥹 please share your thoughts!

Is that a Shih Tzu? She doesn’t have a snub nose, and her lower teeth protrude.

This puppy has been staying outside near my place for several days. I think she’s homeless and wants me to adopt her. I feed her, but I let her stay outside because my current dog is large and barks at any animal he sees.

Open What is she?? Another brindled baby

Thumbnail

Any guesses? Thinking Plott Hound mix or the Tennessee treeing brindle. She is constantly going up on her hind legs which is exactly how my treeing walker was (RIP in February 😭). She is also 90% legs, a slight exaggeration maybe but these pictures do not do justice on how long her legs are. 😅

When we got her from the shelter a couple weeks ago, her paperwork said she was 11 weeks old and 27 pounds. 😳 Tomorrow is her spay, and our official adoption day. After that, I think I'll be ordering an Embark test... Not sure I can handle not knowing on her. 😅

Also, her tail is missing. There is a little "stump" but I can't see evidence of it being docked. There's no missing fur or anything. So I am unsure if it just didn't grow right, or if it was docked and I just can't tell. Never was around a fur-baby with a docked tail before to know exactly what it would look like.

Personality: Super smart (from her 2nd day with us, she was recognizing the names of toys and able to get those specific ones, learns tricks with minimal training, etc), super cuddly, fairly high energy and unfortunately super puppy-bitey. 😅

Hi! So glad to have found this sub! I adopted this lady about two weeks ago. They had her listed as a Siberian husky mix. She’s definitely underweight right now FWIW and we are steadily gaining weight! She’s about 45 pounds right now. 1 year 8 months old. What do you think? German shepherd?

Can anyone help identify what breeds may have been in my late dog's mix? He was from Tamil Nadu, India

Thumbnail

Upvotes

My family had this dog back home in Tamil Nadu, India. He passed away about a year ago and he was especially close to my father.

We never knew exactly what breed he was. I don't believe he was a purebred, and I'm guessing he may have been an Indian native/Indie dog mixed with another breed.

I've included several photos from different angles. He had a reddish-brown medium-length coat, some white on his chest and paws, a fairly fluffy tail with a lighter tip, and semi-erect/floppy ears.

I'm hoping people who are familiar with Indian dogs or breed identification might recognize some of the traits. What breeds do you think could be in his mix?

I'm not expecting anyone to identify him with certainty from photos alone. I'd just really like to narrow down the most likely mix.

Part of the reason I'm asking is that someday I'd like to find a similar-looking dog for my father. He loved this dog very much.

Location/origin: Tamil Nadu, South India.
