Your family conversation starter
Breeds you save with a heart appear here. Notes stay here if you temporarily unsave a breed.
Your maybe-pups belong here
Save a breed with its heart, then add what you like and what you still need to understand.
Before you meet your maybe-dog
A few thoughtful questions for the rescue or breeder. Tick each question as you discuss it, and take your time before deciding.
My meeting checklist
Start with Dogs Trust’s getting-a-dog guidance ↗. Ask your vet which screening records apply to this breed and individual dog. These questions help you prepare for that conversation; they don’t replace your vet’s advice.
