How Do You Determine A Dogs Breed?
“What breed is your dog?” is a simple question with a not so simple answer. Sometimes a dog’s breed can be so muddled or obscure that even the owner doesn’t know. If you want to know what breed your dog is, there is a simple process to find out. Follow these steps to become a dog breed expert. Look carefully at the size of the dog first to begin to eliminate specific breeds. Determine the dog’s color and hair length; this characteristic will be broken into either long hair or short haired. Determine the overall energy level of the dog whether it is playful or fairly sedentary. Observe whether the dog is friendly or aggressive to strangers. Also, notice how the dog reacts to other animals, especially other dogs. This behavior could help identify breed as well. Figure out the dog’s build. Decide if it is muscular, small, medium or very small. Then feel the coat of hair on the dog, and list if the fur is wavy, straight, silky or sparse. Write down your assessments of the dog.
