Do you know what breed your dog is? Are you sure, or is there an element of doubt? And why would it matter? Perhaps a dog DNA test could be the answer for you. I can think of a few different scenarios in which dog owners might wish they could be more certain of their dog’s breed.
Perhaps you have recently bought a puppy from a breeder. A few weeks later, the puppy’s physical traits are starting to make you wonder if he is indeed a purebred.
On the other hand, perhaps you have adopted a dog from a shelter and want to understand the lineage in order to provide the best possible care and training.
Or, maybe, you are just fed up with not being able to tell people your dog’s heritage. Remember those other dog owners you meet in the park? Conversation invariably leads to “So what is your dog?” Of course, they are referring to his/her breed.
If you know that you do in fact own a Maltese or a Poodle or a Cocker Spaniel, then there is no problem.
However, if you are unsure exactly what breed or cross-breed your dog is, then there are a few solutions you could try.
