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

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!

We adopted her in June, no idea of any family but since she comes from “the campo” we can assume either ranch/farm dog mix with mutt, what do you all think? there’s for sure a bit of galgo in there…

We just adopted this little cutie today and they said that he is a mix of husky and golden retriever. His vaccination health card also states that he is a golden husky male.

I still feel doubtful as when i searched for golden huskies online they look different from him. He is also only 2 months old. Any thoughts?

my mom got Masha when she was 2 months old shes a rescue. we adopted from a friend who was fostering her and her sister sasha. She’s a little over a year old now. I’ve noticed she doesn’t look like a meat mouthed shar pei as in she has way less wrinkles and she doesn’t have that really puffy looking snout but she also doesn’t look like a bone mouthed? and she has very floppy ears which don’t match either types. Her toungue is mostly blue with a little pink and she has kinda webbed feet but hates water which is very shar pei like lol. Idk much about shar peis so

She’s listed as Belgian Shepherd and they’ve mentioned Malinois, do you think it’s true or does she look more like a German Shepherd?

Adopted this wonderful and super intelligent dog 5 weeks ago at 6 weeks old. He’s doing amazing and we’re trying to really cater to his growing in the most correct manner i regards to his breed.

We greeted a random man with a beautiful dog in the street in Spain, got into conversation about dogs etc, he mentioned he has an impregnated dog at home and doesn’t know who the father is. He said it’s most likely the neighboring presa canario or kangal. We will get a test to actually confirm his breed, but can anyone guesstimate his breed? Picture of his mother at the end

Edit: i forgot to say that the owner claimed his dog is a pure belgian malinois and the father is either press canario or kangal, so this boy is a mixed breed

Can anyone help me with identifying my dogs breed? We rescued him from the streets 3 years ago and the vet told us probably a mix of Belgian shepherd and black mouth curr, but we've never been sure. I don't think he'd let us swab his mouth to do a dna test so I was hoping we could get better answers another way 🤣 He's 42lbs (37 when we got him) so I don't know how he could be a shepherd🤷‍♀️ He sleeps most of the day and night, loves to play with toys, huge cuddler, doesn't bark unless the doorbell rings, and he is not a fan of other dogs.

We had a shar pei before and he had the more traditional bulky physique. Our rescue is leaner and slimmer, and only has fairly minimal wrinkles. He stands much taller too.
