How can you tell the breed of your dog?

Answer 1

The best way is to ask your veterinarian. --- If you didn't get your cat from a breeder, you most likely have a mixed breed cat as purebreds are expensive and infrequently end up in shelters or as strays. But it is possible to have a breed or crossbreed.

Answer 2

You can sometimes tell by the of the ears, the tail, and the nose and eyes. Coat colour and pattern in most breeds are not factors of the breed, unless the coat is unique such as a Siamese.

Pedigree cats usually come with papers and certificates that state what breed it is. If a cat didn't come with any papers, contact a breeder who might be able to help. Usually, though, most cats are of mixed lineage so there is no distinguisable characteristics or bloodline. These a Domestic Shorthairs, or moggies. Domestic Shorthairs, because of the varied gene pool, come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and colours, with Tabby being the most common. Some Domestic Shorthairs can resemble a purebreed, but without papers or testing, there is no way to know.

Answer 3

Every different breed of dog has a different apperarance and personality. For example, a German Shepard is a large dog that contains plenty of weight, height and is a browny colour where as a little Jake Russel is a breed of dog that is quite small and really is quite light in weight. Also, it is usful to know a breed of dog by their personality. Eg. A German Shepard is a more fierce show-off dog that likes to be the leader where-as the jack Russel will be more laid back and go with the flow unless it puts up a challenge with a dog smaller than it! I hope this information has helped you search for the breed you were looking for!
