Where will your dog live?
In Singapore this is a legal constraint, not just a space one.
How this works
Your answers are scored against each breed on physical and behavioural trait axes. Physical traits — size, coat type, grooming, heat tolerance — are breed-predictable (high confidence). Behavioural traits — trainability, barking, sociability, separation tolerance — are soft signals only: breed explains roughly 9% of an individual dog's behaviour (Morrill et al., Science 2022), so every behavioural axis is labelled “low confidence” and weighted down in the score.
The matcher hard-filters on HDB legality (the AVS/NParks approved small-breed list) and flags brachycephalic and Nordic double-coat breeds for Singapore's tropical heat. Trait vocabulary follows the validated C-BARQ instrument (Serpell / UPenn). Breed suitability ratings draw on AKC / The Kennel Club / NParks AVS sources.
The dog in front of you matters far more than its breed.Always meet the individual dog, follow your rescue's behavioural assessment, and please consider adopting a Singapore Special.
