How Do Shelters Determine The Breed of A Dog?
Generally, if there is no one to ask, we look at the physical dog traits. Certain fur types, head shapes, whether the eyes protrude, if they have dark muzzles, tail shape and curve, body type, (stocky, short legs, long legs), coloring, and ear shape can tell you what breed is the primary breed. Sometimes 2 breeds will be evident so they will say it is a mix between the two primary breed names, like chihuahua/pug, etc.
