take this into the real conversation
questions before anyone comes home
Ask the people who know the dog. Specific answers matter.
looking at a puppy?
Ask which breed-specific health screens were completed on both parents and verify the actual public results. An OFA/CHIC number means required screens were recorded—not that every result was normal.

how the shortlist works
your limits set the shortlist.
urpet compares all 205 current AKC-recognized breeds with your activity, training, coat care, shedding, size, household, and plans. Each result shows the fit, the conflict, and what to verify.
the individual dog wins
Breed tendencies guide research; meet the individual dog.
leave with questions
The report turns your household and search path into a checklist for the people who actually know the dog.
what to do next
meet dogs. ask better questions.
Use each breed card’s direct profile and the complete 205-breed catalog as starting points. Then meet adult examples where possible, discuss your real week with the provider, check housing and insurance rules, and verify health records. An adult foster dog’s known routine may be more useful than a puppy prediction.
The matching approach follows current guidance to consider lifestyle, activity, training, grooming, time, and the individual animal. Read the underlying guidance from American Kennel Club, RSPCA, Blue Cross, and OFA/CHIC.
can I use it when adopting a rescue?
Yes. Use the breeds as background research, but give more weight to the rescue or foster team’s evidence about that dog’s home behavior, needs, and history.
