Frequently asked questions

This quiz asks multiple-choice questions about your lifestyle, energy level, social preferences, grooming tolerance, and training commitment. Each answer is assigned a numeric value and the quiz sums those values to calculate a final score that maps to a recommended dog breed and personality profile.

The quiz provides a personality-based suggestion to help you explore breeds that commonly match similar lifestyles. It is not a substitute for professional advice from veterinarians, breeders, or adoption counselors. Always research breed-specific health, behavior, and care needs and consider meeting individual dogs before making a decision.

Yes. We encourage you to retake the quiz if your circumstances change — such as moving, having kids, or changing work schedules — because even small changes in your daily routine can shift which dog breed is the best match.

Not necessarily. The quiz maps general tendencies to common breed characteristics. If you get a breed you don't prefer, view the result as insight into which traits you scored high or low on. You can retake the quiz, adjust answers to reflect different priorities, or research breeds with similar traits to find a better fit.

Absolutely. Many mixed-breed dogs combine desirable traits from multiple breeds and often have fewer breed-specific health issues. Adoption shelters and rescues can help match your lifestyle to a dog's temperament. Use the quiz outcome as a guide when discussing options with adoption counselors.

Preparation depends on the breed's needs: arrange appropriate exercise routines, secure your living space, purchase breed-suitable supplies (crate, bedding, toys, grooming tools), schedule a vet visit, and set up a training plan. Use the personalized recommendations in your quiz result to prioritize these steps.
