They're really sturdy, and when they get dirty you can just chuck them in the washer. Awesome for her, since she finds ways to get dirt on herself everywhere.

Can anyone give me any clues as to what kind of dog my boyfriend has? She's some sort of mutt he adopted a few years ago. She's about 18 pounds of boundless energy, with a completely smooth black and tan coat and a tail that curves upward. I suspect there might be dachshund mixed up in there somewhere, but she seems very terrier-ish as well. Click here for the full 800x600 image.  Click here for the full 800x600 image.

I got her from an animal rescue, and her adoption papers say "collie/hound mix". I'm starting to think they may have been wrong.  She looks like some pit/lab mixes I've seen...I even took her to a vet who said that she is probably one. But, now she's fully grown and only weighs about 35 lbs, and is about knee high. That seems really small for those breeds. Anyways, she's an awesome dog.

She's probably just a super mutted up terrier mix, but hey maybe there's some Chi in there.

 Check out the Bully megathread; 35lbs is actually within ideal weight for an APBT. And yes, totally a pit mix.

Here is a thing that wandered up to my mother's house: She's all skinny and gave birth to these:  But a couple of them got distemper and had to be put down  We're hoping the rest are ok as we know it's contagious but they've shown no signs of it, but we're prepared for the worst. Sad thing is they were set to get all their shots and get fixed today, but she's holding off on bringing them in, now.Anyway, I know there's some sort of hound in there, and she's a big dog, but no idea what she might be.

Haha, apparently the shelter had passed her off as a "Chihuahua/Rottie mix," but no one ever believed that.  All I could imagine was a tiny dog on a stepstool going to town on a big ole girl dog who doesn't even notice.

There was a dog that came into the doggie daycare I worked at ages ago that was supposedly a rottie mix. I was all set for a big dog but when she showed up she couldn't have been more than 15 lbs. I changed her chart to Min Pin mix. I'm not sure why her owners believed that she was actually a rottie mix, its not like other dogs don't have those markings. Major is also a "rottie mix".

She was just concerned that if they did have it and she brought them in it would infect other dogs that might be there. Will let her know to set up an appointment as soon as possible though, cause if there's anything I'm for, it's puppies not dying.

That's what I thought, though I've always been puzzled by her size. That picture doesn't really do her justice. She has really stubby legs and a long body like a corgi or something. I really like that her papers say collie mix though, since it would be pretty easy to convince a landlord she's not a pit if I had to move again.

Here's my new pup! Just picked her up from the shelter on Tuesday after my boyfriend and I went to put an application in on Sunday just to get set up in the system but we fell in love with her on that visit!  They say she's an 11 month old basset hound / blue heeler mix. Introductions to our 13 year old cat are going verrry slowly. Wish me luck!

It's really hard to believe that she went from a little butterball who couldn't chase a ball for more than five minutes without lying down to pant from exhaustion:  To this lean, active little monster:  She's still got a little bit of extra padding around her neck that I imagine will melt away once warmer weather arrives and we spend even more time outdoors with her. I really want to get her involved in agility, but want to make sure she's at an ideal weight before we start doing any jump work with her-- don't want to strain her hips too much!

I got my eleven year old girl, Jess, seven years ago from my local RSPCA. They said she was a Staffie/Beagle, and I'm just curious if that's right. She definitely has the Staff personality (and what we call her Beagle eyes and tail), but it could be a case of simply seeing what we want to.   (Images small so as not to break the table.)

Look at the majesty of my roadside hound (?)     She has brown and black markings (obviously), with white coming through on her chest. Literally found on the side of the road 8 months ago (no chip, no collar). The area is rural and predominately poor. When we first got her we couldn't tell if she was a hound of some sort or a rot/Doberman. She holds her tail up and over her back when she moves and it never points out behind her, either over her or under her (when shes scared or big dogs are playing with her too rough). her ears at 10 months are twice the size of my Chocolate Labs.

Ginny Field posted:Enjoy your new bundle of energy. She's adorable. Thanks everyone. She has kept us soooo busy that we haven't had much time to do anything other than sleep. At the shelter she was all basset in temperament, but at home she's all heeler and we're doing everything we can to handle her. She's pretty good during the day, but at night (after 2-3 30-50 minute walk/runs, 3 short training sessions, 1-2 sessions of fetch) she just goes crazy wanting to be up on the couch, eat our food, eat the cat, bark at us, etc. One vet we took her to said she's a year and a half, but another vet said 6-8 months. Yikes, that means another crate if that's the case. No braying sadly, just really, really loud barking.

We used to call 9:00 PM Ginny's "witching hour" because she'd suddenly go from being relaxed and mellow to a whirlwind of energy. She'd leap up on the couch, on us, bite the couch, bite us, bark at us and just generally turn into a little monster. Exercise has helped a lot, but mostly I think she just needed to get settled into a routine. Redirecting her onto a toy or something more appropriate has completely eliminated her couch biting problem, but we're still working on her mouthiness with us. We definitely had a few moments of "oh god, why did we get a heeler as a first dog?" in the beginning, but as we got used to her (and she to us) we started being able to anticipate her needs better, and now I think I'd be hard pressed not to get another heeler when we're in a position to add a second dog. I love having a dog that's so alert, intelligent, and eager to learn. It's been an absolute joy teaching her tricks.

Gorgeous dogs in this thread!! This is our new dog, Voodoo. We rescued her from a no-kill shelter. She'd been there since she was 6 months and is now almost 3 years old. She was adopted out once, but brought back a few months later when the new owners found out they were having a baby. The shelter people said she took it so hard that she wouldn't come out of the kennel to meet new people (when we first saw her she was the only dog not flipping her poo poo. She was laying with her back to the dog-run door, head between her legs, not barking.) They opened the door to let us see her and she actually came out! She was walking like a dog that had no life left in her, she sat in front of me, looked at me and then put her paw on my shoe. We had to wait til everyone that worked at the shelter had a chance to say goodbye before we took her home. She is now running around the yard, digging and rolling in the dug up dirt etc. Anyway, she's a mix. Any guesses what she may be? (The shelter said Rhodesian Ridgeback, Redbone Coonhound mix.)

Almost three years in a shelter is terrible. Good for you guys for adopting her. Shelters will often claim fancy breed names just because it helps for marketing the dogs apparently. She looks like an All-American Brown Dog to me, basically a mix of a mix of a mix, probably with a bunch of common American breeds somewhere in her lineage, but nothing discernible anymore. Don't be disheartened though, mutts are awesome! Congrats on your new girl.

She looks a lot like some Rhodesian/Pit mixes I've seen and I wouldn't be surprised if she were more than 50% RR.

We got this little bundle of adorable awsome about a month ago, given up to us by a student in my girlfriend's dog training classes. We THINK Shar Pei/Lab/Boxer mix. His paws are FULLY Webbed, and the Shar Pei ears/color/face, and Boxer mostly from his, well, boxing. That's his "hello" for everything. Slapping it in the face. Amazing dog.

She's adjusting well, surprisingly. We were ready for a lot of aloofness, insecurity and confusion. The first day she was very unsure of herself. She spent a lot of time eying everything like it was going to kill her. Then I broke out the tennis balls and after she watched my Doberman and Dachshund go mental over them, she ran with them too but didn't catch the balls. Well, the Doberman decided to play 'try to catch me' with her and after a few teases she was chasing him and came over for a drink with her tail wagging. She won't come in the house yet, I don't know if she's ever been inside a house before and I won't push her. Her mix isn't important to me (just curious about it, but I do see some RR in her  ), I'm just happy to have her and let her blossom out of her shell. She'll learn in her own time that she's secure, loved and is never going back behind wire.This is her when you first go outside:  This is her after you spend some time just quietly tossing treats to her:  And this is her after running with the other dogs (grass needs to be cut):

She looks so much like my recently adopted RR mix! Down to the bits of white on her muzzle and chest blaze. She's beautiful I dunno the exact specifics of Ephy's history but she cowers JUST LIKE THAT if you ask her to come into a bathroom or a door slams.

Yeah, that is either purebred Rhodesian or a very close mix; you can tell by the sighthound body shape combined with the feminine face, amber eyes and relatively small paws. Beautiful girl.

Could almost be a pure BYB RR, just ridgeless--which happens in purebreds all the time. The ears are slightly off, but the rest of her is pretty drat ridgie (except not!) I don't think that RR/redbone is all that unlikely, IMHO. She sure is purdy, regardless. edited to add: beaten, dammit!
