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

241 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!

/r/IDmyDog needs mod(s) to combat anti-Pit Bull brigading

284 Upvotes

Recently there has been a sharp uptick in comments from trolls brigading us from anti Pit Bull subreddits.

Harassing users for owning Pit Bulls is considered uncivil and off topic behavior, and not what this subreddit is for.

The pit bull conversation is one worth having, but not at the expense of derailing the function of this subreddit.

So in the meantime we're going to do 2 things:

  1. Get some mod(s) that can help tackle the issue with harassment and off topic comments. If you are interested in helping with this, please leave a comment below explaining why you're fit for the task.

  2. Create a subreddit wiki page or megathread post that informs and discusses the Pit Bull topic in a civil and unbiased manner, so that the rest of the subreddit isn't overrun with it. If you would like to contribute to this project, please leave a comment below or a modmail.

We got duped?

Not that we are complaining in the slightest because this guy is so wonderful and we love the heck out of him. The person we got him from says he is a Keeshond/Rottweiler mix and he would be roughly 50-100lbs. To me he looks exactly like a mix of the 2 breeds and with the size of his paws I figured he would be more Keeshond size. We decided to change vets (they were robbing people blind), and everyone there who met him was very surprised about his size. The vet agreed about his breed but said he was a miniature of some sort and probably won't weigh anymore than he does now (around 22lbs).

Does anyone have any idea what else he might be mixed with for him to be so small?

Open Found her two months ago on the street, I think she’s about 6-7 months old now. Thinking beagle shepherd?

Her name is Ducky! She’s very energetic, smart and sneaky, loves a good cuddle but also sometimes wants personal space. And she’s in love with my 1 year old Pit Bull, Sprout. Sisters for life. I also see sometimes Beagadors (beagle labs) kinda look like her, but the coloration makes me think German shepherd. She’s about 25-30 pounds but the same height as Sprout (41 lbs). Thoughts?

She is 100% Cutie and very smart. She likes to hunt (we're working on that) and has troubles focusing on anything when outside. I think she could be part terrier.

This is Jack. The foster org thinks he is around three years old. He's about 20 lbs. His most striking feature is the flecked brown coat. (He's sick right now, heartworms and kennel cough, but we are getting him better!) (Also available for adoption in NYC if anyone is looking 😎)

The rescue place says he is a Springer Spaniel mix. I see the Spaniel in his paws and chest. Not sure what else he is mixed with. They said maybe rat terrier or Boston terrier. I see more lab or maybe a shepherd.

He about 40-45 pounds and he’s almost 13 years old. He’s not very big at all and has the best temperament I’ve ever experienced in a dog.

This is my new buddy Jerry we got him yesterday from the pound and his paperwork says he’s a lab/retriever mix. all the photos i’ve seen online and all the lab puppy’s i’ve seen don’t really look like him. I’m not a dog expert in anyway. i’m really worried about that “mix” part because i live in on base housing where they don’t allow certain breeds could anyone let me know if the new addition to the family is actually a lab or what he might be mixed with?

Mom is getting an Embark kit for Mother’s Day this year, but what do yall think??! I think he’s a Boston chihuahua. He’s about 5 years old, the white is actual white, not greying from the texture at least (and what their vet says), and look how much he’s brightening up with just a little love! First photo was the day he was found, second photo was yesterday - just a week later.

Possibly Solved Adopted a dog from Romania, only told she was a "shepherd mix"

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

Hey all!

My sweet girl Cami was adopted in February 2024, and I was only informed she was a "shepherd mix" - no specific shepherd was mentioned.

A lot of people have told me she's definitely got Border Collie in her, but I wanted to see some other ideas as well!

Some quirks I've noticed of hers (unsure if fully breed related!), is that she's very smart, can learn tricks and remember them after 5 or so attempts.

She has always had some major separation anxiety that we've been working on, but when left alone for a while she always finds something to chew/tear up.

She's very fast, and enjoys hopping while running, and she will happily run for hours without really losing her full energy

Very vocal, constant growling/barking/whining noises, and has some sass as well.

She's got a ton of curiosity, and will stare outside the window if there's anything going on, well, anywhere.

Her favorite toys are things she can chew for HOURS on end without them falling apart.

The vet told me about 2 months ago that she will not grow any more. She's pretty small in my opinion for any sort of Shepherd/Border Collie mix, but I'm definitely not an expert. She's only about 13-15kg.

Let me know what you think!
