The Dogs Wiki is an independent reference guide to dog breeds, health, training, nutrition, behavior, grooming, and adoption. We write for owners and future owners who want a straight answer, not a sales pitch, backed by sources you can check for yourself.
What We Cover
Our breed profiles draw on published breed standards, historical records, and other established canine resources, citing the specific source and date whenever a figure, a health risk, or a historical claim can be checked. Where we reference a breed club’s official standard or ranking, we cite it directly rather than presenting it as our own.
Independent Research, Not Affiliation
The Dogs Wiki is not owned by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or a subsidiary of any kennel club or breed organization. Our team studies and cross-checks information from established canine resources as part of our own research process, and we name those sources directly in the articles where we actually consult them.
How We Work
Every article states its sources inline rather than in a generic “sources” list at the bottom. When we’re not certain of a fact, we say so rather than guessing. When new information changes what we know, we update the article rather than leaving it to go stale.
We are not veterinarians, and nothing on this site replaces a diagnosis or treatment plan from your own vet. Where a topic involves a dog’s health, we say when a vet visit is the right next step.
