Are you thinking about adding a canine member to the family? My opinion is always the same: adopt, or give a stray a chance. But there are also issues of space, time, budget, and obligations that lead many people to look for a specific type of dog. The process starts with information, and the Dog Identifier app offers a hybrid between database and recognition system that includes support for more than 170 breeds.
Faced with the classic question “dogs or cats”, my answer is “dogs and cats”. In fact, I would pet a hippopotamus if I could survive the process (they are aggressive, territorial, and it's a bad idea to provoke a two-ton tank with fangs). But that's just my preference, and I understand those who for one reason or another show a certain tendency, or are stricter when it comes to choosing a pet. Not going too far, I admit I love Boxers, but having one would physically destroy me, and I don't have the necessary space either.
Getting information is essential, and although the Web is full of specialized sources, there is an app called Dog Identifier that, besides serving as a database, also helps us identify dog breeds with just a photograph or a video.
How to identify a dog's breed with Dog Identifier
Aim, take the photo, and let the algorithm do the heavy lifting. The latest version of the database in Dog Identifier contains more than 170 breeds, and each of those entries has a huge amount of detail covering history, size, and recommended care. Equally interesting is the Finder section, which helps us find the ideal breed by answering a series of basic questions like prior experience, where we live, whether there are children in the family, and whether it will share space with other pets.
The settings menu in Dog Identifier has sections for favorites, history, and a guide to recognize a dog's moods. There is also the possibility of creating a profile using Facebook and Google credentials, but guest mode works without issues. Download a copy!
