What breed is my mixed dog? Can a DNA test help identify him?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Cooper is adorable! He is a mix breed so it is just a guess. He looks like he could be a shepherd or australian shepherd mix. I see Rat terrier in his face in the middle picture. We may never know. You can try one of the at home DNA test kits for fun, though they aren't very accurate! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=33924 I hope this helps!

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, thanks for using Petcoach! Chowder is very cute! I think he is too young to tell and we would need more pictures. For fun if you want to run a home DNA test you can buy them online. I don't find them very accurate though. If you want to send more pictures or post a gain when he/s bigger it may help. Congrats on your new addition! https://www.chewy.com/wisdom-panel-30-breed-identification/dp/127224?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Wisdom%20Panel&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiqGGx7ak1gIVBAlpCh04xQKfEAQYASABEgLDdPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

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!

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

It’s difficult to say for sure but it looks like he may be part rat terrier or jack Russell terrier or some other type of terrier with pointed ears. He is really cute! Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure. You can do a DNA test but it isn’t 100% accurate and I did it on my dog just for fun.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lucky is very cute! He looks to be a German Shepherd mix. Maybe with Chow or Shar Pei based on the small ears and the look of his face in the first picture. I hope this helps!
