Some of these breeds will fool you!
Animals have been our companions for thousands of years, and there's a good chance you either have—or have had—a pet in your life. But how well do you really know your furry friends? If someone mentioned to you about a Turkish Van or a Samoyed, would you confidently know whether it's a cat breed or a dog breed? You might think this is easy, but trust us, some of these breeds in this cat or dog quiz will make you do a double take!
Get ready to put your pet knowledge to the test! This quiz is packed with well-known favorites and some lesser-known breeds that might just trip you up. Whether you're a cat person, a dog person, or an all-around animal lover, you'll have fun trying to get a perfect score.
How This Cat or Dog Breed Quiz Works
- You'll be shown the name of a breed in each question.
- Simply choose whether it's a cat or a dog.
- After each question, you'll get a description of the pet breed so you can learn more about it.
- Your final score will reveal just how much of a pet expert you really are.
Sounds simple, right? Well, don't be too sure. Some breeds have names that could easily belong to either species. For example, ever heard of a Norwegian Forest? Sounds majestic, but is it feline or canine? What about a Bombay? That could be anything!
Think You Know Your Pet Breeds?
Before you jump in, here are a few quick fun facts to get you in the right mindset:
- The smallest dog breed is the Chihuahua, while the Singapura holds the title for the smallest cat breed.
- The Maine Coon is one of the largest domestic cat breeds, sometimes reaching up to 18 pounds or more!
- Dalmatian puppies are born without spots—they develop as they grow!
- The Sphynx may be hairless, but it requires regular baths to keep its skin healthy.
- Huskies are famous for their wolf-like appearance, but did you know their closest relatives are actually... other domestic dogs?
Is it a cat or dog breed?
If you think you're ready, let's get started! But don't be too confident—this cat or dog breed quiz has fooled even the biggest pet lovers. Can you get a perfect score? Let's find out!

13 out of 20! A lot of guesses in there (and a lot of them wrong!)
19/20 I know the dogs so anything that was not a dog breed, I knew was a cat. Cats are okay I guess if you can stand the smell of the liter box. I had a girlfriend who cleaned the liter box daily, and it still stunk.
Same thing for me, but if I didn’t know it was a cat, it was a dog. Dogs are okay if you can get over how terrifying that are and can tolerate the dogs pooping all over the house, but cats are clearly superior.

Yeah, we have a cat! Well, 2 cats now, we got a new kitten! He’s an american shorthair, and he’s super active and curious. He loves things that move and make noise. He is brownish grayish with spots. We don’t have a name for him yet, do you have any suggestions?
Smokey? I’m not really good with names, but I think that might fit… Maybe?
