Episode Description
Join Bernice and Nikki this week as they discuss a real-time shift. Visual breed identification is not accurate and reliable. To remain honest with our adopters, we should avoid labeling dogs in shelters. However, what if in online searches, no breed categorization leads to dogs getting less exposure online🤔? Listen in as we react to this recent adoptapet.com blog about the impact of labeling dogs online.

Copy and paste this disclaimer: To increase the online visibility of our dogs, we have categorized them by "breed". It's important to know that visually identifying breeds in mixed-breed dogs is not reliable and the breed label given to this dog serves only as a placeholder. We encourage you to choose your new companion based on their individual personality and pet qualities, rather than relying solely on a breed label that is just a guess.
