Each breed gets a fit score, the things you'll love, and the catches worth knowing before you commit.

Bring them home

Adoption searches near you, plus a week-one checklist for food, gear, insurance, and training.

Honest about the hard parts

Most breed quizzes tell you what you want to hear. This one will talk you out of a dog that doesn't fit your life.

Questions people ask

Straight answers before you commit to a decade-plus with a dog.

How do I know which dog breed is right for me?

Start with your real life, not the cutest photo: your space, how active you are, how long the dog is alone, kids, and the grooming and noise you can handle. Those predict fit far better than looks. Fido Amigo asks about all of it and ranks 121 breeds for how well they'd actually work in your home, catches included.

Are dog breed quizzes accurate?

A quiz gives you a smart shortlist, not a guarantee. Breed predicts under about 10% of how an individual dog turns out; the rest is upbringing and training. We treat matches as a starting point and always point you toward meeting the actual dog first.

What's a good first dog, or a good dog for an apartment?

It comes down to your routine more than a breed's reputation, and plenty of easy breeds struggle in the wrong home. The quiz weighs apartment living, alone-time, and experience, and flags where a breed would have a hard time so nothing blindsides you.

Should I adopt from a shelter or buy from a breeder?

Adopt first if you can. Shelters and breed rescues are full of great dogs, purebreds and puppies included. If you go to a breeder, look for health testing and meeting the parents, and avoid anyone shipping puppies sight-unseen. The app shows adoption near you first, then how to spot a responsible breeder.

Is Fido Amigo free?

The matcher, the breed guides, and the care reminders are free. There's an optional one-time $2.99 Pro upgrade for health records, a photo journal, and a vet-ready PDF. No subscription, no account, and nothing leaves your phone.
