Our rescue puppy--what breed(s) do you think she is?

Gypsy22 · 02-16-2008, 08:49 PM

Hello all...new here...!

We got our puppy, Luna, from a rescue. Originally born in North Carolina, she was sent up north via the rescue with her littermates--they were destined for the kill shelter in NC...We love her so much and are so glad we helped save a life instead of buying a 'designer dog.' (again, that's a person's choice..I am not making any judgments).
She's about 11 weeks old, 16 lbs. and is adjusting well. What a sweet personality!! And smart as a whip! She has begun to bark when she 'has to go' or grab the leash.

Can you guys guess what sort of breed(s) she might be? They told us "Lab" mix. I googled photos--she looks like a bluetick coon hound body..?

Pointer mix? Possibly with Border Collie? I dont see Lab, but many rescued pups are labled as such.

No matter what she is she is ADORABLE!!!

Maybe Beagle, JRT, Lab? She is absolutely adorable. Thanks for doing rescue.

Thank you, keep your comments coming. I am sure we will 'never know' but the opinions help me read about breeds so I can assess her personality and so.

Yes, I am glad we did save a rescue dog. We all love her.

I found this dog doing a pointer search as suggested by ALL4THEDOGS--here's one that looks SO MUCH LIKE HER--!!!!

I am sure SHE MUST BE at least part pointer...Thank you!!!

She's sure a cutie!!! I first thought maybe part Parson Russell Terrier (Jack Russell's new name)? I don't konw, but she's sure adorable!! I love the picture where she's under her blanket!!

Definetly some jack russell but the ears tell of another breed too?,its annoying when you cant know exactly aint it,im a mutt but least i know what mix.lol

My first impression was JRT too. I'm not sure I see lab in there... but it's a really easy generalization to make on the part of shelters. Plus, saying a dog is part lab is a good way to get it homed ("omg labs are such GOOD dogs!"... stupid people)

A height and weight indication would make it easier too come to a could be this/could be that.lol

I know a dog who looks just like her....his owners say that he's a Springer Spaniel/Lab mix. I'm sure he's part Lab----ALL dogs around here are part Lab, LOL----but I don't see the Springer in him. I think English Pointer, more likely.
