I am brand new to these forums. I have posted a welcome thread in the new posters forum. I am also posting here in the hopes of some breed input.
7 years ago we adopted a 2yo mix breed from the local animal shelter. Her name is Zelda and she is a very beloved member of our family. Over the years we have guessed at her breed, every now and then we see a dog who looks like her on the internet or while driving. She is loyal, sweet and loving. She is also completely neurotic but only in the cutest way possible! She loves to bark, it is a sharp piercing bark that even hurts her own ears. She never bales or howls. She is 36 pounds. Her fur is so soft and surprisingly thick for such a short haired dog. She sheds a lot, pretty much year round. She is highly food motivated and would do anything at all for a treat. She has a very high prey drive. She is a powerful chewer and can go through toys & bones just as fast as a much larger dog. She is not a cuddler but does like to sleep near people. She loves to burrow under blankets. She hates the water & rain but absolutely loves the snow.
Some of the guesses we have had are, blue heeler mix, beagle mix, bluetick hound mix. My dh calls her his mutt hound (he spoils her like crazy). Anyone here have any input?
