Any ideas on what this mix is? Her ears say GSD to me. She's listed as an Ibizan mix.

I don't know why I didn't think pit before, but yeah, that makes sense and is a hell of a lot more likely than Ibizan.

I think I posted these pics here ages ago, but I never really got a response. My family's dog, Shawney, who I assume is part pit at least, but don't really know what else. What do you guys think?

Some combination of pit, cattledog and lab, maybe? I could also see pit/hound cross, maybe intentionally bred as a bay dog if you got her from a rural area where hog hunting is prevalent.

I've been wondering for a bit what my dog could be besides "some kind of pit mix" (or an American Boozehound  ). I think she's mostly GSD/pit. She's about 40-45 pounds and has a long whip of a tail that she beats my shins with when she's excited.  I need to take more pictures, I don't have any current ones of the rest of her body.  Bonus image proving that she was always the saddest puppy:

Okay good, I wasn't the only one seeing shar-pei. Without better pictures of her standing and such, I can't tell much beyond pit/shar-pei.

The wrinkles and concerned expression remind me a lot of my friend's Ridgeback. e: not saying it IS a ridgeback, 'cause plenty of breeds have those forehead wrinkles. But...

Meet Smitty. My fiancee and I adopted Smitty in November of last year from the local SPCA. The SPCA had rescued him from the pound in September after the Bridgeport PD picked him up as a stray. Birdgeport, CT is pretty ghetto so Smitty's on some street poo poo. He's five years old and makes us feel like we won the adoption lottery with his personality - he's affectionate and happy all of the time, gets along great with all dogs, all kids and even babies, is house-broken and loves all of his toys, walks, and trips to the dog park. I don't think anyone was ever mean to him because he's not skittish or at all unnerved around new people. I think he just plain got lost. The thing is, we're not sure what he is! We've been rolling with Shih-Tzu/Poodle mix which is probably pretty close, but who knows? Anyone else have thoughts? I thus present ya boy right here, Puppa Smitty:    Bonus edition summertime haircut Smitty:

It happens. I've seen at least a handful of shar-pei mutts come through the shelters around here. One looked like someone glued a tiny shar-pei head on a generic brown dog body. But of course it is entirely possible it's the influence of some other dogs that tend to get wrinkly faces. That second picture just really looks shar-pei-ish to me.

I agree, he blasts wild levels of cuteness while featuring none of the potentially detracting factors of either breed. We couldn't be happier with him. I wish we had shared him with Pet Island sooner, he wants to be an Internet Superstar

http://www.seattlehumane.org/node/26585 Aussie, BC, or somewhere in-between? The shelter claims Aussie, but I think he looks more like a Border Collie (ears, tail, eyes, coloring). The coat's very heavy, though.

I think it looks more BC too, but I think there's definitely something else in there. Unless it's just a weird, chunky BC.

He's pretty overweight, and the build is roughly furry ottoman - something I'd expect out of an ACD more than a BC. Poor guy really wanted to play ball when I had him out on my last shift, but had to take extended breaks to catch his breath.

Adopted a puppy from the local shelter here on Guam - they had her listed as an Aussie/Pit mix but everyone here just calls any dog you get from GAIN a "boonie dog" so I have no idea, really. There are lots of poorly bred pitbulls and dog fights here and apparently she was picked up in a yard with ~6 other pups all chained up and poorly taken care of. Whatever she is, I lurve her.

This is Sophie. We got her about a week ago from the adoption shelter. They said she is an 8 month old Lab/Hound mix. Any thoughts? Her face looks like it may have some pitbull in there too?

Hehe, she does have those silly Shar Pei triangle earsInstant Jellyfish posted:How big is she and do you have any pictures of her standing? She's about 22-23 inches tall (to her back), and around 33 pounds.  (Don't mind the scrunched up harness, she was pulling hard from the other side in this picture, but I photoshopped my girlfriend out of the picture because she didn't want to be on the internet)

This is Abby (the larger one) and Dottie (the smaller one). Both are shelter rescues - Abby was described as a german shepherd/bluetick coonhound mix and Dottie was described as a hound/beagle mix. We're not sure either description is more than 50% right, but we think they're both pretty great dogs. Abby in particular gets a lot of compliments and attention when we're out and about  And in certain lighting, at a certain angle, you can make a pretty strong argument for Abby having a little penguin in her blood

The German Shepherd is pretty clear but maybe a treeing walker hound? She's got hound-y markings. Does she do the "baroooo" hound bellow? Dottie looks less hound-y to me, especially since she doesn't have any white. Maybe shepherd/beagle/something? She has sort of a beagle-y face and shepherd colors but with something else in the mix.

I would go with beagle/GSD for Abby and beagle/dachshund for Dottie.

Just got this girl. Very good manners in the car or out downtown around other people and dogs and distractions. She was born Feb 18 but we just got her two days ago. No clue on breed. I got a couple clickers and she's been responding extremely well to them. Any clue on the breed?

And good to have a more or less authoritative 'no' on the bluetick claim - We never could figure out what on earth made them guess that.

I've had Walter since late January but I have no idea what to tell people when they ask what type of dog he is. The Humane Society had him listed as a French Bulldog/Pug, but clearly I don't see it. He's 5-6 months old in these pictures:

Slugworth posted:Just to be clear, is the hound bellow the horrible baying noise that beagles make, or is it more like a wookie noise? 'Cause Abby does a wookie noise that can be drawn out for a good 5-10 seconds long that is absolutely hysterical. 'Barooo' does sound like a decent representation of the noise, but she puts a lot more syllables in there I meant the baying but the wookie noise is pretty common in hounds I've met and GSDs so who knows. Sounds awesome though.

She's pretty incredible. Within like 5 days we've gotten sit, stay, loose leash walking and separation anxiety pretty much cured (we record when we leave the house). You put her in the car and she just sits in her seat quietly. She can even handle downtown/busy streets and distractions like motorcycles without a problem. We took her out to a busy sidewalk cafe the other day for dinner in a place known for noise and commotion and she just sat there greeting other people and dogs. Our only problem has been with our cats, but that lies squarely with the cats and not on her. She's clearly got a ton of energy though, we're walking her 5+ miles a day and she still wants more. I'm thinking about getting one of those backpacks for her but I'm not sure what a good age for that sort of thing is. Also she's extremely clumsy. I think it's because her legs grew faster than the rest of her. I'd rate her jumping aptitude at like a 2/10 right now. It's pretty funny.

It's too early for a backpack. I would wait until she's at least a year old before trying one out, and wait 'til she's 2 years old to add any actual weight (anything +1lb). Training, nosework games, fetch, tug, hide and seek, tricks and flirt poles are other good ways to tire dogs out.
