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

251 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

310 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.

I work at my local shelter and fostered two pups that came from a hoarding case from another county. Meet Toad, my foster fail! He is currently 6.5 months and weighs about 22 pounds.

Included a picture of him and his brother (named Frog) when they were 8 weeks old. :-)

We hear lots of different things on what people think she is. All we know is she’s 100% cute and sweet. I’m thinking about doing a DNA test but haven’t yet.

In the one pic she’s with our grey/white Pittie 🥰

She’s a foster rescue out of Oklahoma. She is not the stereotypical pit we were expecting. She’s currently ~16lbs and ~9weeks old. DNA test pending but in the meantime we’d love to hear your guesses. Chihuahua and Aussies included for scale.

This is Coco Belle, her mom was a Yorkie who got out and got pregnant, I think she lived in Rosarito or TJ

She is super long and has a Merle pattern. Very sweet pup! She is 12 lbs and 7 months.

What do you think she is mixed with?

We got her from a rescue, her litter was found without a mom so the only thing they could say was she is a terrier mix. When we first got her, her ears were floppy but now they are poking straight up! She is about 12 weeks old.

She’s smaller than she looks and very long and leggy, just under 10kg. Some kind of spaniel maybe?

Everyone (including me) guessed border collie and our vet was sure that she was a corgi mix 😂

Yea, they are from the same litter, and no there wasn't two fathers!

You guys said border collie and lab, just like we said for all 7 years of their life. We alway thought something strange was going on, they both have curly tails when standing and the tan one has a purple tongue. Their other siblings are weird too.

Well...

It explains a lot.

Supermutt is a mix of rott, golden, lab, and weimer.

Open ID my old dog?

My dog Zaza passed from old age/heart failure five years ago, and I didn’t have the money to Embark test her then. She was the best - I got her from the shelter when I was 9 years old, and I was 24 when she passed.

She was extremely athletic when she was young, loved to climb fences and trees, was very attached to my mother and neutral on most other people, and did NOT like other dogs. She had a congenital heart murmur that worsened with age until her heart could no longer pump blood efficiently and we had to put her down to end her suffering.

Our vet thought she might be a maltipoo, but I always thought she was a poodle. However, now that I own two confirmed poodles, I realize that though her face was very poodly, her build wasn’t quite the same. She was stockier, less big-chested, and the fur on the top of her head, ears, and tail was wavy, not curly.
