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

235 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

278 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.

Definitely pit. Maybe mixed with boxer or something. Any opinions?

he’s originally rescued from Tennessee and definitely lacks a winter coat, his fur is brown with black speckles which may be hard to see in the photos (obviously also has the white bottoms)

The rescue I got her from when she was ~6 months old just told me she came from Saskatchewan and that she was abandoned 🤔

She’s obsessed with every other animal except for birds (groundhogs are #1 closely followed by cows)

I thought he was a GSD/pit/chihuahua mix, my partner guessed Carolina dog, rescue thought he was a heeler mix, others on the sub mostly guessed pit mix, so this result was surprising!

1 year old, 5.5 lbs of pure love. She has a longer coat but it's kind of wire-y instead of soft floofy like a pom. We're getting the DNA test soon! So what are your guesses?

I'm fostering these two 6.5 week old sweeties. They're from Labrador, so likely Husky mixes, but what else do you see in them (besides polar bear in the little white one 🥹)?

We are currently fostering this dog. The rescue has said she’s a lab mix but we’re trying to figure out what the mix is. They’ve guessed Boxer or Gordon Setter. Thank you!

This is Jupiter, I like to joke that he’s a bottle blonde with the world’s worst root regrowth.

He’s a Serbian dog, they’re mostly mutts, so this is for fun, I’d love to know what people see. The last pic is sadly the best one I have of his full body, he has a very deep chest and a skinny waist.
