Question: I just adopted a dog from the shelter, how can I tell what kind of dog it is?

Answer: You can ask the shelter workers what type of mix she is, or your vet might have an idea as well.

You can also post a picture of her up on the Dog Park Forum and let the resident dog experts have a chance at guessing. It does require registration, but it is free.
