Finally see your dog clearly.
You love your dog. You'd still admit there are moments you can't quite read: the sudden freeze, the thing that always sets them off, the look you're never sure how to take. Nobody ever taught you what to watch for. Pawfile turns what you already notice into a clear, honest picture of your dog's patterns, and gives you a playbook for the dog you actually live with.
Free to build. Works for any dog: purebred, mix, or a rescue whose past is a mystery.
Breed explains less than 10% of how a dog actually behaves. The rest is the dog in front of you.
(Darwin's Ark behavioural-genetics study, 2022.) Pawfile reads that other 90%, the part that's actually your dog, by turning your everyday observations into a structured, honest profile.
Meet Quinn.
She's a Black Lab who loves burritos but hates idle downtime. The tick is what her breed predicts; the bar is what her owner actually saw.
How a Pawfile comes together.
Set up
Tell us the basics: name, age, breed (or your best guess), and a little history. Not sure what they are? No problem. We'll lean on what you actually see.
Start with breed instinct
Every breed comes with tendencies bred in over generations. We use those as a starting guess about your dog, clearly marked as a guess, never the final word.
Answer easy questions
Plain questions about everyday moments: walks, the doorbell, strangers, the vet. No quizzes, no jargon. Your answers shape what we ask next.

What a Pawfile reads.
Nine sides of every dog. Breed gives a first guess; what you see settles it.
