Is it correct to say "What breed is your dog" or "What breed is it"?

It depends on the context. If you simply want to know a dog's breed, use which.

If there is a set of dogs you're choosing from, then which is correct. Example:

- Me: I'm entering my dog in a show for poodles, malamutes, and chihuahuas.

- You: Which breed is your dog?​

I named a list of breeds. You asked me to tell you which of the three my dog is.

Okay when there are multiple dogs "which" is correct otherwise "what" is correct. Am I correct?

Okay when there is a defined group of dogs, "which" is correct, and otherwise "what" is correct. Am I correct?

When there is a specific set of dogs, use which: Example.

- Me: The dogs in the dog park are having a lot of fun.

- You: Yes, mine is having a great time.

- Me: Which one is yours?​

Otherwise, use what.

He or she is not natural. Use it.

Mind your commas.
