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

237 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

285 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.

This is Marley! She is 10 weeks old, when adopting her we where told her dad was a pure American staffy and mum a bull arab. I'm starting to think she might not be what they say she was lol, mainly from her marking and the fact I kinda think her ears might look like they are about to stand? I dunno! What do you guys think!

He was listed as a “rottweiler mix” at the rescue we adopted from. Not sure how accurate that is or what he could be mixed with?

hi everyone!! this is clementine!! i recently started fostering her after losing my other dog to cancer, and i've decided to keep her 🥹🥹 the shelter said shes a staffordshire terrier mix, but i'm curious what y'all think she could be!! for reference she'll be 2 this june. she weighs roughly around 30lbs, maybe less, she lost a lot of weight in the shelter. but we're working on her getting her healthy and chunky again.

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?

Puppy is 5 months and people keep telling me he is full blooded GSD. I’ve seen different patterns of GSD but can’t tell his pattern because of the mange. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Maybe grey GSD? His ears are brownish/red in the photos. He’s at my parents house currently so I haven’t gotten photos yet.

We adopted this sweet baby boy a few weeks ago! He's ≈12 weeks old and almost 7 pounds.

We were told he might be a cavapoo or maltipoo! At first we leaned toward maltipoo, but today we saw a mini/toy goldendoodle mix that looked exactly like our pup!

We just want to ensure we're feeding him enough for his expected weight! He's happy, healthy, and energetic! But if he's expected to get much larger, we want to be prepared!

I’m inquiring about the black one. She is 3.5 ish months old, and I’ve just adopted her! Picking up next weekend. The other dog shown with her, the yellow, is her full blooded sister. I can update my post later tonight with the breeds the rescue says they are. I will be doing an Embark test, just curious what others think!

I agree with the shelter, btw.

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?

Approximately 1 year old, weight is 65 lbs. Tongue is half of that. Super floofy question mark tail. Nose freckles, paw freckles. Tip of his floofy tail is white.

The shelter says he’s a lab/shepherd but his paws are ginormous!

He is furrier than a lab and doesn’t shed much. Not a barker. Saw a bunny and bird and was interested but didn’t lunge or bark. Very smart. Lapdog.

He is probably 6 years old and weights 30lbs, he's a little taller than a french bulldog too. My parents think he might have some german spitz in his genes.

He's a lovely mutt, usually calm but has a lot of energy when he wants to play. Bit anxious and scared of lots of things too. He's very kind and gentle with children. He can be pretty smart when he want. Surprisingly doesn't bark. He does cries and growls(not mean. He does that to communicate when he wants to play or get attention).

We live in Canada if it helps. Got him at a shelter(spca, not sure if its really a shelter) in 2019.

Does anyone has an idea what breed he might be? I think he's a mutt to be honest.
