Tips to Find Lost Pets: Dog Breed Guide

Breed and Cat Color Guide

Knowing how to best describe your pet will significantly increase your chances of being reunited with them.  Here are some resources to help you with the various breeds of dogs.

Dog Breed Information

Dogs can be either described as purebred or mixed breed dogs. You can find purebred dog breeds on the American Kennel Club’s website.  Mixed breed dogs are harder to describe. Even if you know the two specific breeds who were bred, the mixed breed puppy may not resemble either parent. In cases of missing mixed breeds, make sure you distribute a picture and describe the color, size, length/type of hair, shape of body and muzzle.
