Abstract

Dogs are a common type of animal that can present various problems, such as issues with population control, controlling rabies outbreaks, administering vaccinations, and legal ownership, due to their large numbers. Understanding the breed of the dog can help the owner identify potential health issues and determine their lifespan. There are over 120 different breeds of dogs, each with unique characteristics and health concerns. To properly care for and train a dog, it is important to know their breed. This study discusses methods of classifying dog breeds and presents a method using a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) to accurately identify different breeds by analyzing dog images. This approach, using DenseNet201, achieved an accuracy of 87.34% on the Dog Breed Images dataset and is more effective than other methods found in literature.
