Upload a photo of your dog or cat. See which breed it most looks like, free. Then get the full story: where that breed comes from, the work it was bred to do, and how to care for it because of that history.
For a cross or a mixed breed, every chapter covers each breed that shows in your pet and tells you how to read which side it takes after.
What the photo shows
The features in your photo that point to each breed, and what a photo cannot tell.
Where this animal comes from
The region, the landscape and the people the breed began with.
What it was bred to do
The work it was made for, and the traits breeders chose for that work.
How it reached your home
How it spread, changed and became a companion animal.
Why it behaves the way it does
The habits you see every day, each traced back to the old job.
What it needs every day, and why
How much activity it needs, what kind, and what happens without it.
Looking after the body it was built with
Feeding, coat care, nails, ears and teeth, each with its reason.
What to keep an eye on
The conditions the breed is prone to and the early signs to watch for.
Handling, training and house rules
How it learns, what motivates it, and clear do's and don'ts for the house.
A Border Collie that circles the children is doing the job it was bred for on the Scottish border hills. A Beagle that ignores you with its nose down was built to follow a scent for hours. A house cat that brings you a mouse is carrying on thousands of years of work on farms and ships.
When you know what your pet was made for, most of what it does stops being a problem to fix and becomes a need to meet. The report explains each need and what to do about it.
No. The match is made from what can be seen in your photo: head shape, ears, coat, colour, build. It works well for animals that look like a recognised breed. For crosses and mixes it gives the most likely breeds by appearance, and it can be wrong. Only a laboratory DNA test can prove ancestry.
Yes. For a cross of two breeds the report covers both parents, where their needs agree and where they pull apart. For a wider mix it is built on the breeds your dog most resembles, and it tells you how to read which side shows in your own animal.
Yes. Most cats are not a breed, and their story is older than any breed: from the wildcats of the Near East to farm, ship and street cats across the world. The report covers that history, your cat's coat type, and the care that follows from it.
It is optional, and it helps. If a shelter told you the likely mix, or you know the parents, the match and the report take that into account. If your pet was a stray, the report says what an unknown past means for its care.

No. It lists the conditions a breed is known to be prone to and the early signs to watch for, so you know what to ask. Your vet decides what your animal needs.
It is used only to build your match and your report. It is deleted after 30 days unless you buy the report, in which case it stays on your private report page.
