best dog ever "laku", which means licorice in finnish. my wife is half finnish and expects me to learn it with the dog before i have to with my future children. she celebrated her 2nd birthday with us just a few weeks ago. she's a welsh-terrier mix and very lively outside, extremely well behaved in my office. we got her at 14 months old and she spent her first year on a farm where she used to hunt rats and other critters, so we have to manage with very strong hunting instincts...

Puppies are pretty much impossible to identify til they grow up a bit, but the ears and feet make me say Corgi mix. Probably a Chihuahua/Corgi mutt as those are popular 'designer' mixes.

Sorry for the crappy pic, but it's the best I could get. Is this a byb yorkie? Some weirdo mutt?  It's my aunt's dog. Supposedly a yorkie with unspecified "papers". She's got floppy ears, a long fluffy tail, and is really long-backed. The short hair is because she was shaved, not natural. Radio! fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Dec 19, 2011 |

Looks like it could well be crossed with a maltese or something similar. She has that wavy coat that poodle mixes get sometimes as well.

Yeah my money's on a badly bred (not that there's any other kind) "yorkiepoo" thing. I guess it's possible it's just a badly bred Yorkie, but goddamn they missed the mark pretty hard.

That's what I figured. On the plus side, she's a rescue and my aunt doesn't think the dog's some kind of ~designer breed~, just a mutt. Thanks!

Yorkie's have short, stubby tails, so it definitely is mixed with something with a longer tail. Yorkie/maltese is common - Morkie is what the BYB call them.

I wouldn't say its impossible that dog is just yorkie, given how terrible puppy mill stock can be but mixes are incredibly common and it's really hard to know for sure.

This is Star our older dog. He's a Beagle/Springer Spaniel mix. I don't have many of him because never sits still or looks at the camera. Plus most of his younger pictures weren't taken with a digital camera. And some more of Poppy. Puppy pics! From this......    ....to this.

Bichons have kind of short tails though so maybe she inherited that. LeapFrog, your dogs are both super cute. I love the old spaniel-y hound-y face! Also eyebrow dogs are my favorite and you should give Poppy to me right now. I see maybe Aussie/Northern breed. She looks like a handful.

Hi, I'm curious about someone else's mutt again. The owner thinks she might be a Husky/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. Here she is next to my Berner pup, weighing it at ~65 lbs. That isn't close to adult Berner weight at all, but on the other hand she's really bulky for a husky. A real beauty of a dog in any case.

Sure, you can take for a couple days, weeks, maybe months......because you're right about the handful thing lol. According to the people I got her from her mom was a Basset hound/Coonhound mix and her dad was a Lab/Husky mix, but many people have thought Aussie mix.

Huh, she really doesn't look hound-y at all to me. The colors are alright genetically (labs,huskies and many hounds can all carry tan points) although I might expect some white markings with that combination. Does she have a white chest or is that a diluted tan? The only weird part is that long hair is generally recessive so both parents would have to at least carry a long hair gene and hounds don't. Its so interesting to me to see how mixes of mixes turn out looking like other breeds. Anyway, whatever she is she's 100% adorable.

I know. I'm surprised she looked the most like a Husky out of all of them. To me, it looks like white mixed with tan on her chest and belly. I know it's hard to tell from the pictures but she does have white patches on her feet. The tip of her tail is white too and she has a tiny spot with white hair by her shoulder, plus the blue ticking on her nose. All those things are harder to see now that she's older though. Well, the mother was a blue ticked Basset Hound and all the puppies in the litter were the exact same coloring as Poppy, except for one pup that was red and white, also half the puppies had bodies like a Basset Hound while the others were like Poppy. So, it seems possible to me. I love her anyway.

Then (lol dogbreedinfo and the cutesy names) I found a dog that looks like him: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/schipperpoo.htm (Pierre, halfway down). All gangly with the weird rough-ish coat and foxy ears.

This is Henry. His mom is supposedly a pure beagle, but was sort of scrawny in a rat terrier kinda way so who knows.  Based on some unsubstantiated account of a mating featuring a sorta-boxer-looking dog, Henry's mom's owners had all the puppies tails docked (thinking they could sell them as boxers...)  Henry is a puppyish dork, and he is honored to be the bumper of this awesome thread. There are some great baby pictures of him somewhere... Rvrnd.

One semi-stern "no beg" though and he is so, so ashamed. I don't know about his mix, though his markings are so regular and lovely (especially when he was young (see first pic)) that I'm very sure he should be a breed of his own. His dashing blue tick scarf is an item of particular esteem. He's dang smart and has tons of energy for his age. I taught him to shake in about ten minutes with little bits of biscuit (you're onto something, Fish-person) at age 7. Old dogs and new tricks indeed! Scary Ned posted:[fluff disparagement] Rvrnd.

I immediately thought beagle/cattle dog too when I saw him. This is the only instance in which I would approve of a designer dog name because then it could be a Battle Dog!

Rvrnd. Riot posted:His dashing blue tick scarf is an item of particular esteem. He totally sounds like a cattledog mix, you should read about clicker training. Unfortunately, training him will probably ruin your expectations for lesser dogs who aren't as quick to catch on. This thread can help explain how Henry will eventually train you to do his bidding.

Hot dang, everybody's jumping on this cattledog bandwagon(what an adorable, fun bandwagon). Seriously though, the first picture (about ten posts down the first page, with the cat) in that cattledog thread is perfectly Henry. Minus beagle plus tail of course. I'd always wondered about him having some heeler, but never really looked into it. Scary Ned posted:clicker training The training thread (and especially a life less' videos) inspired me to try "shake" and showed me how to do it. I guessed Henry'd be sharp enough to manage without the clicker, and so he did. He lives with my folks, and I'm just visiting, so I didn't bother with buying and "charging" a clicker. Next time I'm a dog owner though, it's clicker all the way. I'd like to rerail by noticing what an awesome looking dog Snow Job's malamute mix is... Reminds me of stylized CG attack wolves in cheesy movies.

Any guesses? Shepherd and...? People keep telling me he's going to be a 60-70+ lb dog, but I'm not convinced. He's about 6 months old and 30 lbs at a good body condition.     Sorry, I don't have any good ones of his body where he's not wiggling...

So I'm currently fostering this handsome fella:    I'm pretty sure he's a mutt, I can't think of any one breed that looks like this. He's about 30lbs, and apparently I don't have a picture of it, but he has a big fluffy tail that curls up over his back. He looks a lot like an American Eskimo, but brindle. Any ideas of what this sweet little fluff ball might be?

He has a lot of problems with resource guarding, both against dogs and humans, but he'll play tug of war with Sunday with no problems, and often even lets her share his food bowl with him at the same time.

I'm going to have to check with the rescue on that one. When they first sent me his picture they told me he was a brindle American Eskimo, but those don't actually seem to exist. I'm actually considering maybe adopting him, so if I do I'll definitely ask for the paperwork then.

Cross-posting from the small dogs thread! This is my little guy Rory: I adopted him from the local humane society a few months ago. The vet thinks he's about three. He weighs 12 lbs.  Here he is with the 16 lb cat, for reference. The shelter listed him as a "terrier mix."  He almost never barks, except at other dogs. Honestly it's hard to tell too much about his personality because he's still very shy and withdrawn. He's pretty low energy, but is always up for a nice walk. He loves me and tolerates my boyfriend. He's doing pretty well with clicker training, but I think his shyness gets in the way of his learning certain things. He's not very food-motivated. My guesses for possible contributing breeds are dachshund and chihuahua, and pit bull has also been suggested. I'd love to hear anyone's guesses! I find dog breeds and genetics so interesting, although at the end of the day it doesn't much matter what he is. He's my special guy ETA that he has a little curly tail, like a pug. It always curls to the left
