When we first got Nala we thought she was APBTxCattle dog, but now, she's 6 months and bigger than a cattle dog and coming close to being bigger than an APBT, so we've been thinking she's got some lab too. Lol Elvis is definitely king size. However, I can't get him to swing his hips or sing for me

I think Roxxy has some rat terrier in her. Check out Ranger (not a mixed breed...full-blooded rat terrier) and see how similar their faces are. Roxxy's tail is also very much like an undocked rat terrier tail. She's about the right size, too.

Here's some of Mayzie. I love hearing what people think she's mixed with. We get all sorts of guesses. Obviously some sort of bully breed but what? And what else? She was listed in the rescue as a boxer mix. (My hubby likes to say she's a pit bull/coyote mix...ha!) She's 37 pounds and about 17" or so at the withers.

I'd love to see what everyone thinks of Corbin! I was told his mom was a purebred AKC registered Chocolate Labrador... and they said dad was a purebred longhaired German Shepherd. They claimed both parents weighed over 100 pounds (yeah right!). They also claimed Corbin was 12 weeks old when I got him. That would make him almost 20 weeks old now. But he still hasn't started teething so I really think he's younger than they said.

I've been weighing and measuring him weekly and last Monday he was 13 1/2 inches tall and 14.6 pounds. He (in my opinion) has fairly short legs and small paws. I personally think if his mom was a PB Lab then dad was something little.

cece6 · 08-10-2009, 06:29 PM

Corbin does look shepard to me and maybe a small lab mix.He sure is a cutie though.

Here is Sasha, she is a rottie mix and is 17 weeks..She is rather gangly right now, her legs are too long and her head is too small but she keeps changing so fast.

MissMutt · 08-10-2009, 06:37 PM

Corbin could definitely be a Shepherd/Lab. I am A HUGE SUCKER for bicolor mixes like him.. I almost adopted a dog like that.

Sasha could be a full bred Rott, I think white probably crops up sometimes especially in the ones who aren't carefully bred.

Here is my mutt Marge:

I love hearing breed guesses

Laurelin · 08-10-2009, 06:43 PM

I think Marge is a good old mutt.

She's got to have a million breeds in her, every pic I see a different one. I just love her look, she's beautiful.

Here's my past dog that I have zero clue on.

Shack was supposedly a purebred GSD. Umm.... yeah. His mom was a registered GSD and dad was who knows? What do you think?

MissMutt · 08-10-2009, 06:52 PM

Thank you Laurelin. I see a different breed everytime I look at her as well.

That's definitely not a purebred GSD, LOL. For some reason I see Lab in the face or maybe Golden. If not, maybe some type of Spaniel? But WOW What a beautiful dog he was.

melgrj7 · 08-10-2009, 07:03 PM

I think Roxy has ChiXminpinXrat terrier of some kind

Kina_A · 08-10-2009, 07:25 PM

Here's my Cavachon (Cavalier King Charles/ Bichon)

Her before I had her shaved and after pics!!

and the third is my girl Sadie. She's a La-chon, (Lhasa Apso Bichon mix)

Yeah our best guess was GSD x golden or something similar. My mom got him from a coworker who couldn't sell the last pup from his Shepherd's litter. He sold the rest as purebred and Shack looked pretty purebred as a pup. I bet those other owners got a shock when the pups grew up a bit. I always thought he was stunning, and he was a really really good dog. Very shepherd in personality at least.

GatsbysMom · 08-10-2009, 07:34 PM

I was told Gatsby is half-Afghan, but I (and my vet) highly doubt it... not sure what he is, except part (or all?) sight-hound.

He's 55 pounds and very lean and tall.

bnwalker2 · 08-10-2009, 07:35 PM

Oh wow Laurelin, you just brought back memories of my childhood! When I was a very little girl we lived in an apartment and couldn't have pets. But there were several neighborhood dogs that would come and visit and I swear I lived for those visits! Shack looks IDENTICAL to one of them, her name was Princess. Somewhere I still have a picture of her but I'd have to dig for it!

Laurelin · 08-10-2009, 07:38 PM

Gatsby's mom, gorgeous dog! Looks like a lurcher of some sort (sight hound x herding breed). I'm not sure what breeds but that would be my guess.

The very first day I worked in a shelter they had a dog that looked just like him too. Every now and then I see one and I just want to take them home! The one at the shelter was listed as a GSD x collie, but I don't see how they'd get the drop ears.

If you ever find Princess' pic let me know. I'd love to see her.

Spirit_of_Cotons · 08-10-2009, 08:29 PM

All the dogs pictured are very pretty and handsome, that being said I think they're mixed with:

picklesmummy--the way your puppy stands in that one photo also reminds me of an Affenspincser. I know he probably isn't, but that's what came to my mind. Not sure what your JRT could be crossed with.

chriley58--Bella is gorgeous! And that's a great name for her too, she reminds me of a Toller. So she could be crossed with that or definitely some kind of setter/retriever because of that feathered tail.

alphadoginthehouse--your dog reminds me of part of a Manchester Terrier by the way he stands and looks.

jcd--Bello reminds me of a Spanish Mastiff because of the way he's standing in the second photo.

NalaBaby--your one dog, on the right, looks like he could be mixed with an English Shepherd. The face reminds me of one.

Laurelin--looks a bit Collie-ish, maybe some Hovawart (just by the way her fur is and the pose in the first photo), and there's something else in there but I have to figure out what.

GatsbysMom--different coloring, it's nice. Maybe part Borzoi or Saluki, I want to say Tasy maybe but they're so rare that I highly doubt it.

And well that's my guessing for the day!

GatsbysMom · 08-10-2009, 08:34 PM

Thanks for the guesses, Laurelin and Spirit_of_Cotons! Love hearing your ideas about what Gatsby could be. So many beautiful dogs on this forum.

MissMutt · 08-10-2009, 08:48 PM

You skipped right over Marge, Spirit of Cotons

I think Gatsby is GreyhoundxSomething, probably a Lurcher like Laurelin said.

Spirit_of_Cotons · 08-10-2009, 08:52 PM

MissMutt--I didn't know! Sorry.

I came up with breeds and then looked her over and then thought "nah". I thought: Dobie/Greyhound, then some sort of Foxhound with the tail. But those didn't seem right, that's why I didn't say anything.

MissMutt · 08-10-2009, 08:57 PM

Haha I was just breaking your chops.

No one seems to know what she is.. I've gotten Lab, Greyhound, Shepherd, Dobe, Rottweiler, Pit Bull.. it goes on..

I can tell you that THIS is her mama

Spirit_of_Cotons · 08-10-2009, 09:02 PM

Oh I know you were, it's hard to read what a person is saying on the computer, but I knew you were joking.

And that's her mother? Did her father have the black coloring?
Well time for bed, see y'all tomorrow!

MissMutt · 08-10-2009, 09:08 PM

Yeah that's her mom. I have no idea what the father looked like, since she was a rescue. I'm lucky I even got to see pics of her mom.
