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,
My pup is due his second vaccination in 2 weeks, I understand that some vets aren’t counting puppy vaccinations as an essential during the lockdown but some are? Is there anywhere I can get clarification on this or is it down to each vets preference?
thanks!
Hi there everybody, This will be a long read. I am asking for some advice or suggestions on a bluetick hound puppy I recently got. I have been around hound puppies before and other breeds I have had in the past. So I am not brand new to dogs but not sure what else to try. There is a few...

Is there such thing as a Corgi with, well, legs?
I realize that the short legs are due to a dwarfism gene, but are there ever "tall" pups born? Kind of like the...
Hello,

Hi all,
This is my first post here in years (I had an old account, no idea what it was so I made a new one). You guys were so helpful when I got my boy Otto years ago (he's 9 now, time flies!) and I figured I'd come here to chat with people who love their pooches as much as I do!
My husband...
