You cannot always Tell... One of the first indications is the sizes and color markings.. other than that, you would have to depend ENTIRELY on the papers of the mother and the father of the dog... You know that if you have a spotted black Labrador, it is surely mixed and not full blooded (by the way, I think you are referring to the term PURE BRED rather than full blooded)

Ask the dog! Say are you full blooded? I'm betting that it's has enough blood to live and if it's blue it's full blooded..

Sometimes even papers can lie. You can compare the dog to pictures of the breed and see if it looks like the oother pix. Even with that, it is not always easy to tell because not all dogs of the same breed look alike. If you trust your breeder, and you have papers for the dog, it is probably a purebred.

If by "Full blooded" you mean a pedigree dog as opposed to a mongrel, then you can only tell by contacting the breeder and by obtaining a pedigree certificate from the Kennel Club. You can't tell purely by looking at the animal.

if both parents are full blooded, then the offspring is too. buy a dog book and look at each breed and see if your dog fits the description for a dog breed. i suggest 'the complete dog book' by the american kennel club.

In most breeds you can't be 100% sure without a DNA test or knowing the parent dogs it came from.. Every breed has characteristics to look for but even if it matches perfectly you cant know for sure..

Papers are not a guarentee of being purebred. Anyone who thinks the AKC or any other registry is fool proof hasn't really researched it.

If they aren't all small and dried out they probably still have most of their blood.
