 * Hello,
 * Im pretty new to wordpress and have created a custom post type called dogs.
 * I would like to use the orginal index.php and just add a if statement that checks
   if the post type is dogs and then use another format to display that specific
   post for that post types in the loop.
 * So to sum up:
 * IF post_type = dogs THEN show special post format in loop
    ELSE show orginal 
   post format in loop
 * Have seached but can’t get any if statements to work properly.
    All inputs higly
   appreciated.

 * by post format… are you referring to that actual built in post formats in WordPress?
   like aside, status, ertc
 * Or do you just mean you want the post to be formatted differently?
 * If the latter, what sort of different, stylistic changes, different layout, etc
