I found a puppy in my yard on September 13, 2008. His eyes weren't even open yet when I found him. He is 5 months old now and I'm still trying to figure out what all he might have in him. I weighed him yesterday and he is currently 46.8 lbs at 5 months old. He is black and white (mostly black with white on his face, belly, feet, and the tip of his tail). He has the cutest ears that stick up and fall over right at the tip which is really funny because when he is glancing up at you his ears fall completely open. Also, his tail is tightly curled. Any guesses? I have attached a couple pics.
oh the nose sticking in at the bottom of the one picture of me holding him? That is my 5 year old border collie mix. Ike is as big as she is already and the only thing they seem to have in common is the coloring.
possible some lab or hound in there?....I'm not the best at this....there are some collie/bc people on here maybe they would have a better eye...stick around they will pop in
there is definitely a good bit of BC in there....i'm trying to think of what els could be there to give him his size, but definitely BC....here's my pup, Titch (well he's a yr old now) and you can see the distinct similarities in the face/expression (he weighs 43# and is 20")....maybe something like Pyrenees or Kuvasz (altho the latter not real likely)
i still say BC w/ something else larger in him.....according to one of those, he's already at the weight of a full grown Bear Dog....and they are quite a rare breed, as well.....
Cute dog. You never know! I thought our dog Roy was mostly border collie (but he's 70 #!). However, DNA testing showed he is a total mutt. He is 30% dalmation, and then has DNA (less than 20%) for the following breeds: border collie, Great Dane, Bernese Mountain Dog, beagle.
yeah, i could see the Akita being a possibility.....or Mal (rather than Husky, b/c of size).....
as for the DNA aspect....i'd kinda take that w/ a grain of salt....i just don't think that they're all that accurate, yet, unless you go the high priced route, not the cheek swab.....and, even then, w/ the fact that it took different breeds to create these breeds of today.......
also, keep in mind that the BC can range from 25-65#.....
border collie mix. karelian bear dogs are very, very rare, and it is extremely unlikely that there'd be a karelian bear dog wandering around impregnating random strays.
Is anybody know what registry is that? It called ICA and they said that they have division of ACA for mixed breed. But is ACA Pure Breed why there is Mixed Breed. That make me concern about this company.
I have a 2.5 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. When she was a puppy I took her to puppy playtime at Petco and she did fine, until she was 6 months old. Then she suddenly stopped wanting to play and growled if another dog came at her. After a few times, we were asked not to come...
Hello all, I have a 6yr old Frengle (beagle/frenchie mix) and he's a little overweight and trying to drop 7lbs. He's around 37lbs now.
I just switched him to wet food. Note: since moving back home oversears.. we don't have many dog food options so this is the best one I found so far.
Anyways, I...
Hello! My husband and I rescued our terrier mix, Artie, a few months ago and are looking for tips on keeping her busy and mentally stimilated. She has a lot of energy and is very smart. She also is pretty timid (i.e., scared of loud noises) and not particularly treat motivated. We recently...
