Researching which breed of dog may be best for you? Need help in identifying a stray dog?
PETS 911 has partnered with Just Dog Breeds to bring you over 150 dog breeds and their characteristics. Please keep in mind, the characteristics given here are general to the breed. Individual dogs may vary in anything from size to temperment.
If you don’t see the breed you are interested in, scan the list as it may appear under a different name. For example, you may be looking for “Sharpei” which is listed here as “Chinese Shar-Pei”.
If you are ready to adopt a dog, we recommend talking to the shelter or rescue workers about each dog that interests you. Just like people, each dog is an individual and shouldn’t be ruled in or out based on information here.
If you have found a dog, the list below may help you to better identify the breed. Your local veterinarian may also be of assistance. Please be sure to post the found dog on PETS 911.
