Breed Health Score

What dog breed is right for me?

Answer a few questions about your home and lifestyle. We match your answers to 47 popular breeds, then rank them by our Breed Health Score, so the breeds that both fit you and tend to stay healthy come out on top.

1Where will the dog live?
2How much exercise can you give most days?
3How much experience do you have with dogs?
4Who is at home?
5How much grooming are you happy with?
6Do you need a low-shedding coat?
7Any size preference?

Note. Breed trait profiles are general, indicative characteristics compiled from Kennel Club and breed-standard descriptions with PDSA and AKC guidance. They describe typical tendencies, not guarantees: individual dogs vary with breeding, socialisation and training, and health scores come from the McMillan 2024 study. This is a starting point for research, not a recommendation to buy any breed. A breed's health score is one factor among many; meeting the individual dog and a reputable, health-testing source matters more than any quiz.
