Frequently Asked Questions

Which dog breed is best for a family?

It depends on space and time: many families like Labradors and Golden Retrievers, but any dog needs walks, training and care every day.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own dog breed picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
