Two fields combined for duplicate checking

Anki Help
1

Is there a way to have two fields function as a “unique field” so duplicates are found based on the merged field or something like that?

For example:
Note 1:
Field 1: dog
Field 2: breeds
Field 3: (list of actual dog breeds)

Note 2:
Field 1: dog
Field 2: definition
Field 3: (actual definition)

If field 1 was the identifier field it would mark these cards as duplicate cards but if I could merge field for duplicate checking without actually merging these fields that would be great. Is this possible somehow? Is there a better way of doing this?

create another field and put it at the beginning. Use the addon to overwrite it with data from several fields.
