Would your dog and theirs be a match?

This calculator uses the same two things Buddy Match looks at in the barquis app: how close you live and how alike your dogs are in breed and size.

Your dog

Start typing and pick one from the list.

Only used to work out the distance. It never leaves your browser.

The other dog

Start typing and pick one from the list.

Where the other dog usually goes for walks.

Everything is calculated in your browser: nothing you enter is saved or sent.

How is the score calculated?

Neighbourhood (up to 50 points)
Same neighbourhood: 50. A neighbouring one: 35. One step further: 10. Further away: 0. In the app we only use your postcode to work this out; other people only see your neighbourhood, and only if you choose to show it.
Breed and size (up to 50 points)
A breed in common: 50. Otherwise we compare sizes on a 1–5 scale by typical adult weight (a mixed dog counts as the average of its two breeds): same size 40, one step apart 25, two steps 10.
