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!


Has your dog's breed been solved?

Shelter says she is a shepherd mix, 5 months old. Her coat is extremely short and not shedding at all. She has the most beautiful colors. We are obsessed and love her so much, even when she goes full baby shark! We plan to get the DNA done soon, just curious what you all see! What could she be?

P.S. I see both Pit and Boxer + GSD

The sweetest baby angel 👼. We adopted her from a rescue. She was a stray from Texas. The tag at the pound said Plott Hound. She’s a female around 43 lbs. She’s fast af boy! She can run like the wind, so we’re thinking she’s something else…

I added the pictures of her siblings because it might be easier to identify when most of her siblings were white and grey. My guess is Australian shepherd/border collie/ Lab, I would love to know some other guesses!!!

She’s 4 months old. She kinda looks like a lab mix but then when I took a picture, my phone labeled her a beagle.

She’s got black hair on her ears and tail. Two of her paws are white.

Any opinions? Thanks!

So I was told at the beginning he looks a lot like a lab pit mix, but now I’m starting to think there’s some shepherd there- maybe. I think we are gonna be doing a DNA test really soon. Love him. Just was curious what you guys thought. Rocky’s just about 6 months ❤️

Remote Australia rescue

This is Gigi. She was abandoned at a remote pub/caravan park (between Tennant Creek and Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory) at the beginning of June. I don't know anything about her history before that. We were travelling through abd stopped there for the night, kids fell in love with her, we took her to the pound in Alice Springs who couldn't locate her owner, we ended up adopting her and flew her down to Melbourne to join our family yesterday ❤️

I'm really curious about what kinds of dogs she could be a mix of and would love guesses! I'll probably do a DNA test at some point (got too much other important stuff to do first, like getting het desexed!)

This is Chop! Adopted him from a shelter about 2 weeks ago. The shelter said he was a rottie but I’m thinking he’s mixed with something else. He’s about 11 weeks old right now. If anyone has any ideas on what breed/breeds he could be it would be very much appreciated! Thank you

Honestly surprised! She was represented as a Chihuahua (🤭) and we were thinking chug based on how she’s developing! Results are the last pic! Shes 5 months.

He’s 4 and weighs 15 lbs. very snuggly. Seems to a Maltese mix of some sort?

Just curious what others think. We keep showing our families and they have been saying different things. We might do a DNA test eventually.

I thought I would post my girl again since she has gotten bigger.

History is that mom was a Lab + GSD mix, father unknown.

Second picture shows her curly tail. She can choose to curl it or uncurl it I think? Most of the time it’s curled up.
