Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right dog breed for my lifestyle?

Consider your living space, activity level, time for grooming, and family situation. Our Breed Quiz asks these questions and matches you with compatible breeds based on your answers.

What are the best dog breeds for apartments?

French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Pugs, and Boston Terriers adapt well to apartment living. Size isn't everything—some large breeds like Greyhounds are surprisingly calm indoors, while small breeds like Jack Russells need lots of space to run.

Which breeds are best for families with children?

Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, and Collies are known for being patient and gentle with kids. Always supervise interactions between dogs and young children, regardless of breed.

What dogs shed the least?

Poodles, Bichon Frises, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Schnauzers are low-shedding breeds. Note that "hypoallergenic" doesn't mean allergy-free—all dogs produce some allergens through skin and saliva.

How much exercise do different breeds need?

High-energy breeds like Border Collies and Huskies need 2+ hours daily. Moderate breeds like Labradors need about 1 hour. Low-energy breeds like Bulldogs and Basset Hounds are happy with 30 minutes. Check each breed's page for specific needs.

What's the difference between the Compare tool and the Quiz?

The Quiz helps you discover breeds based on your lifestyle. The Compare tool lets you view two specific breeds side-by-side to compare size, temperament, grooming needs, and more.
