How to get your clearest match
Dog Breed identification FAQ
Is this the same as a DNA test?
No. It is a visual breed estimate and cannot determine genetic ancestry or exact mix percentages.
Can mixed breeds be identified?
The tool can suggest visually similar breeds, but appearance alone cannot verify a mixed dog’s ancestry.
What photo works best?
Use a standing side or three-quarter photo that clearly shows the face, ears, coat, tail, and body proportions.
