NextDogHow the free DNA test works
Photo-based estimate, not a genetic test.
The NextDog DNA test is a free dog breed scanner that works from photos instead of a cheek swab. It compares the visible traits in your photos, like head shape, muzzle length, ear set, coat type and color, leg length and body proportions, with the typical look of 326 recognized breeds. Then it estimates your dog’s most likely breed mix, adult weight, shoulder height and size class.
- Front face photo. Eyes, ears and muzzle drive the skull ratio and head markers.
- Side photo, standing. Shows build, leg length, tail and coat for size and body markers.
- Instant result. A breed mix chart plus estimated weight, height and size, free in seconds.
It is a photo-based estimate, not a genetic or lab test. A cheek-swab kit reads genetics and is more precise, especially for mixed dogs.
