How to Play Guess the Breed
By BreedGuessr · Dog breed learning game maintainers · Published · Updated
Guess the Breed is the classic BreedGuessr mode: a free dog breed guessing game where you identify a dog's breed from a photo. Here's a step-by-step guide to how the dog breed quiz works, with screenshots of every stage.
1. Pick the Guess the Breed mode
From the BreedGuessr home screen, choose "Guess the Breed." This mode shows you a dog photo and asks you to identify the breed.
2. Study the dog photo and pick a breed
Each round shows a photo of a real dog with four breed options. Look at the size, coat, ears, and shape, then tap the breed you think is correct. There are 6 rounds in a game.
3. Get it right for +10 points
A correct answer turns green, you earn 10 points, and a little fireworks celebration plays. A perfect game is 60 points.
4. Learn from wrong answers
If you pick the wrong breed, your choice turns red and the correct breed is revealed in green — so every round teaches you something new about dog breeds.
5. Review your final score
After 6 rounds you see your final score and a round-by-round review of every dog, your answer, and the correct breed. Share your score or play again to beat it.
