K-9 Compass: Breed Questionnaire

We’ve had an overwhelming number of people doing our questionnaire which is incredible! Because of this huge response, results may be delayed while we work through the backlog.

Right now, I am putting the main focus on what truly matters: Matching you with dog breeds that best suit your lifestyle. To keep up with demand, I’ve had to pause adding pictures and fancy designs for now. So forgive me for the plain results.

I just want to say It’s important to remember that your K-9 Compass results aren’t the main goal, I designed the questionnaire to make people think about their life and if or if not a dog fits into their life at this moment in time. It’s about reflecting on whether a dog really fits into your lifestyle.

Also please note the four breeds I recommend are not a strict list, they’re just a guide to help you look at the characteristics and personalities that would suit you best. I encourage you to explore dogs with similar traits, whether purebred or mixed, and find the one that truly fits your life. Lastly please try to adopt before buying there are so many loving dogs in shelters waiting for a second chance. Adopting a dog doesn’t just change their life it saves it and opens space in the shelter for another animal in need.

We’re also excited to share that an official K-9 Compass app is in the works! It will make everything more professional, polished, and easier to use. However as I am in Vet school, My studies have to be my priority so please bare with me, While I wrinkle out the creases.

Thank you so much for your patience and amazing support it truly means the world to me.
