Hey guys! I rescued my dog, Cash, a few years ago after someone dumped him on the side of the road when he was a puppy. I have never seen another dog that has the exact same features as him. He has the coloring of a Collie, but he is very tall with long legs. He is about 85 pounds. I'm curious to know what mix of breeds other people think he is! Here is a little bit about his personality: He is a very vocal dog and has a loud bark. He was an extremely hyper puppy and he is still hyper at 4 years old. He loves to be around people and has a bit of separation anxiety. If I am away too much he will throw up for two days. He is content with laying by your feet or on your lap. He thinks he's the size of a Yorkie. He loves to be in the mud and water, but he does not like to be in the water where he can't touch the bottom. I have attached a few pictures below! Let me know what y'all think!
Handsome pup! Collie x Great Pyrenees would be my guess. First impression overall is "Collie" but he's bigger than a typical Collie, and his head and ears aren't very Collie-like. The size and rear dewclaws are what make me think Pyr.
I am going to disagree! I don't see Collie at all! I looked at the pictures before I read your post, and my first thought was Lab/some sort of long-legged sighthound.
Yes, they are supposed to have double rear dewclaws, but they don't always read the book (or the standard). Just as you can have a ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback, you can have a Pyr not have double rear dewclaws. And when crossed with a breed that typically doesn't have rear dewclaws the resulting puppies may or may not have them.
Hello friends,
I am writing to gather any experience any of you may have with having multiple dominant male dogs in the same household. I am an experienced dog owner but I have never had two large breed dogs (that tend to be dominant) in the same household. What are any tips/tricks? Does...
New poster here. I have a 7.5 month old puppy that we are training/taking classes to hopefully integrate well into our active lifestyle. Furthermore, she goes to work (city recreation dept office) with me.
We have been doing basic training with her in a flat collar, sometimes with a Ruffwear...
Hi there!
So I've been wondering about my dog's breed. I was always pretty sure that he's a labrador but my dad told me recently that he remembers that my dog's mom had longer coat so I wonder, maybe she was a golden retriever?
He looks like a lab to me, except that there's something with his...
