FAQ

Breed finder questions

Is the breed finder free?

Completely — no account, no email, no catch. It runs entirely in your browser.

How accurate is it?

It's a smart starting point, not a verdict. It weighs the lifestyle factors that most often make or break a match — but always meet a dog in person before deciding.

What about mixed breeds?

Most dogs are mixes, and they're often the best match of all. In the BreedQuest app every mix gets its own one-of-a-kind card.

Should I buy or adopt?

Adopt first. Shelters and breed-specific rescues have every breed here — purebreds and puppies included. A good match is out there waiting.
