My dog is long and skinny. How can I find out her breed and age?

It is difficult to say since she is young but a mix including a herding breed would be a guess. You can purchase a canine DNA kit online or in some pet stores. Most are easy and require a simple cheek swab to determine breed(s). More comprehensive (and expensive) DNA tests can be submitted by your veterinarian after a blood sample is drawn.

What a cutie. My guess would be pit bull mix, with a combo of at least 3-4 breeds. If you'd like to know his background there are genetic tests you can do for fun. Embark and Wisdom Panel are both companies that offer this service. Enjoy your new addition!

As I guess I would bet some chihuahua, some sheltie and maybe Dachshund. Theres likely a few things in your new pup! Just so you know, there are now genetic bred tests that give can you a definite answer. Thank you for using Pet Coach!

Both of those breeds have a longer coat and based on the photos Paris has a short coat rigth now, however she may develop one as she gets older. It is difficult to tell at this age, especially when you are dealing with a mixed dog, because you can have a mix of characteristic traits that don't completely look like one breed or another. I would allow the pup to grow up a bit more then re-assessing, or I would consider having a dog DNA test done through your local vet. They really are quite affordable and require a quick blood sample. You will also gain valuable intimation on what genetic predispositions she has and what diseases she may develop later in life. I would start there if you are looking for an accurate assessment right now. We are only right about 30% of the time when using visualization only in a puppy this young. I hope everything works out well for your pup. And at any rate she is a good looking puppy and seems very happy in her new home. Best wishes and take care.

Hi and thank you for your question on PetCoach! From the pictures (cute by the way), I would say Eli may be a Bichon Frise or Bichon Frise mix. You can find out exactly what Eli is through genetic testing. It is a little expensive but is interesting and that way you can know for sure. Here is a link to one I'd recommend: http://www.akc.org/dna/faq/ Might make a neat holiday gift! Thanks again for using PetCoach and best of luck to you and Eli!

Hi and thanks for your question on PetCoach! Oh that is so sad! A dumpster... heartbreaking! Yes it is possible to know- there are DNA tests out there you can do on Chowder to determine what he is. They are a little expensive but they are pretty accurate if you are curious to know. Here is a brand I would recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Embark-Identification-Results-Genetic-Markers/dp/B01EINBA76/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1505224913&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=dog+dna+test&psc=1

Hello. Kiwi is adorable! Based on her size, I would say there is very little, to no St. Bernard there. I can definitely see the Border Collie with perhaps some Heeler or maybe even some Spitz or American Eskimo. You might want to consider one of the DNA test kits that are readily available now. It is so much fun to see what actually makes up our pets. You can buy these online, or I believe that Petco carries them, too. Take care.
