Frequently asked questions
- Is this quiz a substitute for meeting a dog in person?
- No—it narrows options. Always meet individuals, ask about health testing, and assess temperament with a breeder or rescue you trust.
- Why does India matter in the answers?
- Heat, apartment society rules, and monsoon care change what is realistic day to day—honest answers produce better matches.
- What if I get multiple possible breeds?
- Great—compare them on FurFam breed pages for grooming, exercise, and climate notes, then rank by your weakest lifestyle constraint (usually time or space).
- Can working professionals still get active breeds?
- Only if you commit to early morning exercise, midday help, or dog daycare. Under-exercised active breeds develop behaviour problems fast.
- Where do I go after the quiz?
