How can I tell what breed my black and white, long-haired dog is?

He is beautiful. If I had to guess, I'd say a husky/Keeshond or Norwegian Elkhound cross. Those beautiful blue eyes come from the husky, and that black mask with the grey, black tipped coat reminds me of the Keeshond or elkhound.

The puppy is very young so it would be hard to tell. It's possible it could be a mixed breed with some sort of collie in it from the coloration, however many breeds have that same coloration so it would be impossible to know. If you know the mother or father, you can determine breed better by that. There are also saliva DNA tests that can be used to determine the breed of a dog. Most veterinary clinics and even some pet stores will carry these and are very simple to use if you are very curious.

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.

Cute pup! This dog looks like a German Shepherd mix to me, possibly German Shepherd labrador retriever. There is no way to know for certain what breed a dog is (or what mixture) just by looking. However, there are genetic tests available, such as the Wisdom panel, that can be done to get more definitive information on their breed. http://www.wisdompanel.com/ Hope this helps!

Hi there. I'm afraid it's not possible to tell what breed a puppy is just by looking at a photo, as coat color and length, general body shape, etc. often change a great deal as puppies grow. From what I can see, he looks like a medium-to-large breed of some sort. Possibly some kind of retriever mix, but that's just a guess. If you don't have any information about his parents, your best bet would be to have a DNA test such as a Wisdom panel done. This would give you more information about what breed (or mix of breeds) he is, which would allow you to make a more educated guess about his adult size and weight.

What a cutie! She appears to have some Papillon in her due to her ear, but her coloring is reminiscent of some larger breeds such as a Rottweiler or a herding dog like an Australian Shepard. It is hard to say for sure. There are some genetic tests you can order for more certainly. I would defiantly say there is some Papillon, and 100% cute!

Well, whatever he is, it's pretty cute! His head is pretty square and indicates some Pit Bull component. Other than that, there are no characteristics similar to other dog breeds that I can see. Sometimes it is easier to guess when they are adults, since puppies are harder to guess at. There are also genetic panels (that are not completely accurate) that can be done to find out possible breed components.
