Common questions

How do I choose a dog breed?

Start with your life, not the photo: home size, your experience, how many hours the dog will be alone, your willingness to walk in bad weather, and the grooming budget. The Dogopedia match asks seven such questions and returns a short list of breeds with the reasoning behind each one.

How many dog breeds does the encyclopedia cover?

410 breeds in one consistent format: temperament, care, shedding, health, compatibility with children and other pets, the pros and the honest downsides, breed history and side-by-side comparison.

Where can I get a vet passport or pedigree papers?

The Vet passport and Pedigree sections list veterinary clinics and kennel clubs by city, with a map, phone numbers and opening hours. A puppy's registration certificate is exchanged for pedigree papers at the club that registered the litter.

What should I do if my dog is lost or needs urgent help?

Open the SOS section and fill in a short form with your city, the dog's description and a contact. After moderation the notice reaches volunteers and shelters. The same section lists shelters and volunteers by region.
