My dog doesn’t look like any of the breeds listed, why is that?Updated a month ago

Unless your dog has purebred ancestry, it is possible that their looks won’t closely match the looks of their top breed percentage matches. This is because your dog’s top breed percent matches could reflect the fact that your dog and the dogs belonging to their top match breed may have shared a common ancestor before the breed in question was formed. If that is the case, it is very likely that, as part of the breed selection process, that breed acquired physical characteristics absent from your dog.
