What Breed Is Your Dog?

Linny · 01-08-2008, 07:04 PM

WOW! I learned a lot from this thread. I ran across many breeds in the replies here that I had never heard of. Googled all of them. Took me a couple of evenings after work to find them all. I have to admit at this point, I am pretty ignorant in the dog breed world. There are some great looking dogs out there I never knew existed! As for my sweet girl, I do not know what mix she is yet. Not for sure. She was a stray. I posted some pics of her on the general forum. Hopefully I will get some thoughts on her. Don't really care what she is except that we have livestock and would like to know if there are any potential problems we could deal with or maybe overcome while she's still young.

What a variety of dogs out there. I am surprised no one has a St. Bernard. I currently have two collies, and a shetland sheepdog. However, I hope to have another St. Bernard in my life in the future. I had an old girl that wasn't the 'standard' St. Bernard, but she lived a happy, healthy, long life just shy of her 13th birthday. Here she was about two years prior to her passing.

She was beautiful. I love st. bernards, they just remind me of big teddy bears. So do mastiffs

My baby is a Shih-Tzu. He is all back except for his white chin and patch on his chest and the white tips on his paws, which is why his name is Tipsy. You can also see he is ALWAYS smiling.

We just adopted what we thought to be a cocker mix but what our vet told us is a Lhasa Apso. He seems to have a typical Lhasa personality but is really really sweet with people. The PSPCA told us he was 6 and our vet says 4 so we are going in the middle with 5. His full name is Theodore Faustus Berger (don't ask, my husband loves the name and it was either a kid or a dog with that name!) we just call him Teddy. We also have a 5 year old tuxedo kitty named Xenophon (aka Xenny) who seems to accept teddy pretty well. So we have Teddy and Xen. They look like they are on the road to being fast friends!

I have my Guera girl, a Schnauzer/Kerry Blue Terrier mix, blonde coloured who will be 5 in Febuary.

Bingo, a male red Dachshund who just turned 12 in December.

Jodie, a Border Collie/ Pointer mix who is about 1 year old by what the Vet said.

Sampson, a Lab/Rottie mix who is 2 years old.

and James family has Kira, a carmel colored Golden Retriever... who is 4 and practically our dog because we do all the caring and feeding and loving for her... they just throw her in the backyard...

Cerbie is an ACD/ pointer mix, and Brigit is a mini-doxie.

I have a Border Collie 6 yrs old (7 in may). How do you put pictures on to your posts/or by your name? Sorry to add a question here.

Love's_Sophie · 01-30-2008, 09:02 PM

We currently have:

Buster, a male beagle, about 4 years old

Carly, a female golden retriever, about 9 months old

Riddle, a border collie mix, about 18 months old. The vet speculates that he may be border collie / german shorthair pointer. His white areas all have small black spots in them, similar to GSP markings.

They're all very beautiful! I'm getting a new camera by Friday, and will be taking pictures of them to post here.

I've read this whole thread and I didn't post on here. I'm so surprised. Jen and I are the only person confessing to owning an American Bulldog.

Here's LeRoy Jenkens...

Mr Pooch · 01-30-2008, 09:58 PM

why whats wrong with american bulldogs?

LeRoymydog · 01-30-2008, 10:00 PM

Besides being dumber than a box of rocks, he's definately a lover. There isn't anything wrong with them.

That makes me go 'hmm' cause my dog has spots(black and brown) in her white areas, but her bet figured it was cause her mom is a sable border collie ( mind you I don't know if her parents were both purebreds). I thaught it might have been possible her mom's parents (either one) might have been crossed with a springer spaniel/dalmation but I know her father's side is purebred border collies.

New here. My dog is a rescue. I've had him one year. The shelter posted him as a Golden Retriever/ Basset Hound OR Dachsund mix. He has the body of a retriever,legs of a basset or dachsund and previous owner chopped off his tail. Thing is, his coat is red, not spotted like a bassets, and his face and ears are very dachsund like. The tips of his ears even turn up like a dachsunds ears do. Vet says he must be retriever/basset mix. Is it not possible for my baby to be a retriever mixed with a dachsund? He just doesn't have any basset features that I can see. Has anyone ever known of such a mix?
