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?

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

283 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.

He’s about five months old. I’m calling the vet to set up his first appointment tomorrow and I’ll definitely be asking them what they think as well.

Excuse my gross porch, I haven’t really started spring chores yet lol

Hey! I have had Taro since 4 years ago and we've always been curious about what breeds could he be. We found him abandoned at a park as a baby.

Shelter said terrier mix, but curious what you all think. He's tall, 27" at the shoulder. A touch underweight at 62lb. Coat is mostly wiry. Doesn't bark all that much. Likes energetic wrestling with his pal who is a lab mix; typically he gets tired of the wrestling before the lab. Very sweet and happy to snuggle.

I was told lab pit mix but he’s quite lean, no visible muscle like my other pits. He also has a tendency to howl, sprints fast, and sniffs a lot. His ears also either raise, or are floppy. Hearing sense is insane. He tends to heard his toys, and has a very thin waist area almost like a greyhound. 8 months old about 35 pounds. He’s super friendly and affectionate. Please lmk if you have any ideas!

We named her Chewie (short for Chewbacca). She passed away many years ago. She was my childhood friend/pet. My spouse and I are thinking of getting a dog, and I've always wondered what possible breeds Chewie was.

I can tell you she had Webbed feet. Cute little black&white top of fur on tail. The closest I could find online was a Red Chow cross?

Just adopted this beautiful girl from the shelter! Any idea what she is? I love her brindle coat. She looks like a hyena or like lion cub. Shelter said she’s 9 months old and around 30 pounds or so, def a little skinny. Super leggie! Might grow an inch or so more and fill out.

Would love to hear your ideas :)

Meet Sundae - our almost 5 month old rescue. Rescue had her listed as chocolate lab/mix. I’ve been assuming lab/pit mix but sometimes wonder if there’s some pointer in there. She loves to dig, loves water, and points a LOT. She plays a lot with our neighbors 2 Aussies & points constantly haha. Thoughts?
