he’s super tall like these counters are specially made eight inches taller so he can’t steal as easy, he was advertised as an australian labradoodle but i don’t think he is. maybe wolf hound poodle mix?
Rescued my dog Gizmo at a shelter back in 2016 they claimed he was only 2 I strongly believe he was older and is now around 15. Regardless he still acts like a newborn puppy! We did a DNA tester on him and got the answers I have to find it and I will update everyone in the comments probably by tomorrow morning!
First 2 pics are when we rescued him last 3 him shaved naked and a not so rough looking pic😅
EDIT: I PUT HIS RESULTS IN COMMENTS!
Hello! I got my little rescue girl last February and got her DNA tested finally.. I have veterinary and kennel experience and really disagree with the results.. what do you think she is?
We adopted this big cuddly boi from the shelter 10 days ago and were told he's a mix of many breeds, so thought I'd ask here what mix do you see?
My wife rescued this handsome mutt from down in Kentucky before we met, and six years later we’ve deduced through much internet image research that we think he may be a mix of the three breeds mentioned above. Pyrenees (his large size, white coat and stoic demeanor), Coonhound (his colouring and his VERY keen nose), and Husky (his tail, eyes, and the occasional zoomies). Does anyone here recognize any other breeds in there?
he is purebred (breed is recognized by the FCI) and has a pedigree but he looks so different in this picture from what he normally looks like when he is not wet.
take your best guess!
Had this puppy show up on our front porch last week. Covered in fleas, friendly and happy as can be. We kept him crated/kenneled when no one was home for the first 7 days, left him out all day both days of the weekend and he stays right on the property, mostly under the carport. Doesn’t even try to wander or “go home.” No neighbors have come by asking about a missing puppy, no signs put up. I live in an area where dumping animals is, sadly, not uncommon. I’ve been wanting a dog for a while and decided recently we would start looking into one, so this probably my dog at this point.
We’re reserving the right to give him to someone else or take him to a shelter for another week or two, still observing his personality and whether we think we can handle him, one of our main questions right now is what kind of dog even is he? Mutt is the obvious answer, but what’s his majority breed? I was thinking German shepherd at first but am now realizing that if he is a German shepherd, he’s WAY younger than I originally thought, or he’s really small for his breed. He weighs 5.6 pounds.
Any additional advice would be great, I’ve (M27) had dogs my whole life but never one that was fully my responsibility. If and when we commit to keeping him, he will be a fully outdoor dog trained on an electric fence system, which I know how to do from my family dogs growing up.
He’s a rescue dog got him underweight for sure the shelter said he’s a shepherd but they don’t know he’s 5-6 months old now do you guys have any idea of what he could be he’s gained 9 pounds since we gotten him only had him for like 2 weeks
I’ve always had bigger dogs, so I’m not well-versed in smaller breeds. My coworker needed to rehome this precious girl (I named her Willow because of her ears) & I just couldn’t say no. Please assist? 🙏🏻
My family and I just adopted this sweet girl!! We named her Barbara Jean because she came from a shelter in Alabama and thought she needs a southern ish name. The shelter said that the vets think she is a border collie mix but all I am seeing is maybe a more Malinois mix, just wondering what you might think she is mixed with?
We will be getting a DNA test done one her, and see what our vet thinks.
UPDATE: Thank you so much for everyone’s post ☺️. The advice has been really helpful and I am grateful that everyone took time to comment and help my family and I begin our journey at dog parents.
Barbara was spayed on Thursday at the Humane Society and was told that she needs to take it easy and rest for ( I think) at least a week or two weeks. I do have a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow and will be asking the vet a ton of questions.
I do have a question for everyone here, did you find that one on one training work or do you like a group training more? And how do you go about picking the trainer that is best for you, I looked last night and I am not sure what to look for if that makes sense. We live in the Twin City area if anyone from Minnesota has any suggestions.
Again I hope you all understand how appreciative we are for everyone on her.
She's needing a bath and some grooming, but we're curious what you guys think! We were told she's a havanese mix, but I'm really not sure as her ears are not typical for a havanese. She's super sweet and gentle and doesn't have any prey drive thus far! She was already on a train with us and was snuggling so much. She's one and a half.
I just got a puppy and I’m confused what he is. I think they are also lying about his age. He supposedly 10 weeks and only 2.5 pounds. They said the mom is a blue heeler and the dad could be a mini Aussie or lab. I don’t think either of those are right
She was a rescue, female, and around 15 years old when the pics were taken. The last one is at age 14. She was a medium sized dog, around 45-50 cm at the shoulder height, around 20 kg more or less. She was pretty friendly and affectionate with adults, used to howl more and wasn’t naturally friendly with other pets and birds as she had a bit of a prey drive when she was a teenager/young adult, although these traits disappeared through training and exposure as she started to recognize what was “of the house” and what not as she was relatively protective of them. Good protection instincts towards what she considered part of her group, okey-ish tracking abilities although she was not trained for that, and pretty good space orientation skills. Btw, her muzzle fur got lighter, from black/dark grey to light grey then white as she aged.
So, my father bought that dog (female) when it was child a few years ago but still we don't know it's breed please help us
Me and my girlfriend picked up this 1 year old pup from the humane society and they claimed to know nothing about her besides the fact that she’s 42 pounds and was transferred from another shelter. I think i’ve noticed her pointing outside when she sees a smaller critter. She’s super energetic and friendly but doesn’t listen to a dang thing 😂. I think also noticed her herding my other dog a bit? i couldn’t really tell. She also walks with her nose to the ground A LOT, as if she’s tracking. we’ve been thinking aussie mix or catahoula mix, but not really sure. We do plan on getting a DNA test done though.
We got him a month ago. (Now he is 14weeks old) The breeder said both his parents are border collies. And last week we took him to the vet and she said he looks like a border collie and Akita mix. He is bigger for border collie, has big paws, cute folded ears, dewclaws on his back feet. Does he look like any sort of mix?
