How do you determine the age/breed of a stray?
We determine the age of strays but looking at the plaque buildup and wear on the teeth. Determining breed cannot be done on looks alone. Less than 1% of a dog’s genes determine what it looks like. Therefore, we no longer put breeds on our kennel cards.
