Meet Douglas! My future father-in-law just adopted this little guy. The shelter said jack russell / pug mix, but other than the curly tail I'm not really seeing the pug. Any guesses on what he might be?    He's about twenty pounds, and seems to be a clever little guy. He also likes to watch old episodes of Wishbone.

I'm seeing Jack Russell/pug too, honestly. His face is much more smooshed than a JRT's. His eyes have a pug-ish-ness to them also, just not all bug-eyed. But definitely a lot of JRT showing.

I guessed jack/pug by just looking at the photo.. if you look at puggles they have that..sorta..pug face. Could be some puggle offshoot as well.

So, jack/pug it is, I guess. I think I had just always assumed that the pug coloring would dominate in most pug mixes-- every puggle I've ever seen has been black and tan. Also, juggles sound like they should be some special breed of circus trick dog.

Adopted this guy a couple months ago, no clue what he is besides a whole bunch of terrier. Super friendly and attached, he absolutely hates being separated from his people. My guess is mini-schnauzer and some other kind of terrier that is a bit bigger? Honestly clueless. These two are from just after I got him (March) Before grooming  After  Here's what he looks like now though, he's starting to get bigger. This is his typical "okay i'm done, good night" pose. About 30lb here.  He also has no concept of size and will quite happily gnaw on pit bulls five times his weight. Should have kept recording, he actually managed to flip the pit which was hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8dSA0uNF1A

There's an in-between size between the mini and the standard that weighs 20-30lbs, and sometimes if their tails are left undocked they can get curly and weird looking.

I also posted this in the Yappy Rat thread, because he is adorable. Yesterday I adopted a dog from the local shelter. This shelter had taken him from another shelter, that was 3 hours away, because he was set to be euthanized. He and my orange cat are already BFF's. The other cat is sulking, but that's his usual state of being. The shelter said he was about a year old and mostly dachshund. I'm not really seeing it. When he barks, it's more of a bay, like a hound. His sound is too big for his body. His ears don't hang down, they are usually flopping backwards, which makes him look like he has head-wings when he runs.A few pictures of Hugo, he was scared of the flash and wouldn't hold still. And please excuse the boyfriends pajamas  Any ideas about the little guy?

This is Fiddich (as in the whisky). He came to us age 3 so we don't have puppy photos. He was originally a rescue puppy and his previous owners described him as a labrador-dalmation cross. However I don't think he has a drop of Lab in him (far too well behaved around food and he hates water) but he behaves quite like a pointer. We have lots of fun playing "Guess the breed" with other dog walkers when we take him to the park near our house.   He's originally from France and I know next-to-nothing about French breeds so maybe there's something really obvious we're missing. geekyisgood fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jul 22, 2012 |

Plenty of labs hate water and are intelligent enough to not be a pushy dick around food; those aren't really universal breed characteristics. I see lab/pointer.

All the labs I know can't resist a bit of water and any food they can see or smell, so I rashly assumed it was basically universal. I know so little about dalmatians. He's clearly got spots, but that could be pointer. I don't know if there is a good way of distinguishing between pointer and dalmatian spots.

He looks reminiscent of my wife's old Lab/Pointer mix, just with a longer face.   Alex also hated water more than anything. Ever. As in, tried to run backwards in mid-air when he realized the geese he was chasing had gone in to the pond. On him, there's really no way to say 'Oh those spots are from a Dal' vs 'from a Pointer' because either way, he's a mix and the spots don't really cover a huge part of his body.

TVs Ian posted:He looks reminiscent of my wife's old Lab/Pointer mix, just with a longer face. Oh yes! Very similar . I wish I could have seen him trying to run backwards. Fiddich walks round puddles wherever possible and when forced to walk through one always hangs back before the inevitable. At least he never wants to go swimming so dealing with a muddy wet dog is never a problem.

She's a bit hyper, but we'll work on that. The vet said he think she's probably pit/lab mix with something else thrown in, her eyes and ears definitely scream pit. And she loves to swim.

Absolute Evil posted:Any ideas about the little guy? He looks almost exactly like the dachshund/chihuahua mixes my old college prof rescued. It's a relatively common "designer" mix. One of their dogs has a bark like what you describe, and the build of your dog, while the other had that same coloring and build (although she was a wirehair) but a tiny high pitched bark. I could also see something like beagle/chihuahua in your guy, though.

His ears go from down and floppy, to erect, and sometimes he has both flipped backwards like you said.

If the dog likes kids, they can REALLY open up that "play" switch. Its pretty awesome.

Posted her in the "wake up your dog thread" and wanted to share her more. This is Scrappily Rappily. I found her on the road in rural Tennessee. She's lithe 28 pounds and will run circles around me for hours when we are outside. She'll nip at my heels and at the heels of her dog friends- definitely a strong herding instinct. She has some ticking on her legs (couldn't close enough to take a picture without her crawling into my lap). She is intensely loyal and smart as a whip. My dream dog is a Belgian Tervuren and I think I found one in a smaller package. Anyway, I think she is an Aussie/Sheltie mix. Thoughts?

I'm so excited to see a mutt thread so I can post these two goofballs! This is Yoshi. He is an Oki-mix, which basically just means a mutt from Okinawa, Japan. I have a feeling he is part shepherd just based on his face but I really don't know. We got him from a local rescue agency that pulls dogs out of the huge kill shelter here and adopts them out. He is constantly full of energy (sometimes a little too much) and really, really friendly to both dogs and people. He is a bit dopey. Also, he has extremely stretchy skin underneath his fur and he hates -- HATES -- water. If we take him on a walk by the seawall he will literally pull as far away from the noise of the ocean as possible. Despite this, he is a pretty good swimmer (and he has tiny webs between his toes!).  The brown on his nose here is dirt because he likes to root around in mud like a pig.  My other dog, Domino, was listed as a "border collie mix" at the shelter, which I can definitely see.  Sorry, I guess I don't have any full-body pictures of him at the moment. He is a bit more husky than your regular border collie but I really can't tell what else he would be mixed with. When we first adopted him he was very hand-shy and would not accept food, treats, or toys. If you tried to throw a toy for him to chase, he would cringe and run away.  He tried to ignore us as much as possible, really, but he got along great with Yoshi. Now he is an absolute sweetheart, loves attention, is extremely patient and very smart. I have caught him looking into the oven door to see what is inside. He smiles at himself in the mirror and has figured out how to open our hallway closet to get at the dog treats. He does have a bit of separation anxiety but it is easing up over time. Hooray mutts!

These are my mutts: That's Flynn on the left, and Hannibal on the right. We adopted Hannibal a year ago when he was ~ 4 months old, and we adopted Flynn earlier this year in February. Anyone have any idea what breeds they are? Hannibal is obviously GSD mixed with something. I have no idea what Flynn is, our vet wasn't too sure, so his breed is listed as cattle dog. HE HAS SO MUCH ENERGY D:

This is my mutt Izzie with my daughter. This is legit and not rigged. Wherever my daughter is, Izzie is. here, she reminds me of pit, but i've gotten greyhound a lot too  my child will try to eat the dog's tail on a regular basis.  Izzie always licking my child. Sometimes, it leads to insane giggling. Other times, my daughter will push her away.  We got her when she was 6 months from someone fostering her for our local shelter (and a crazy amount of other dogs). The burden was increasing, so they posted a Craigslist ad for Iz since she was the newest member; they had less time invested in her. The animal shelter here encourages fosters to keep dogs until the shelter can take them or they find a nice home. We had been looking for a dog for what seemed like forever; shelter trips every weekend for like 6 months and nothing seemed to fit. Found her picture on CL and something clicked. I went to meet her and she was so timid. She's now 2 and grown out of the timidness. She's outgoing and protective over our family. She's hands-down the best dog i've ever had. Ever.

This is [Spinning] Jenny. I originally picked her up as a small puppy from a local family that had no info on her parents (mine is her third and final home) but they thought she was a Border Collie. While I'm pretty sure there's some herding dog in her, possibly BC, I have no idea what the rest is. She's about 20" tall at the shoulder and a steady 36lbs, which I guess is about right for a BC but her coat, coloring and build seem off even considering the differences that exist among the breed. Her signature move is the mid-air 360, hence the name. She's 11 months old but hasn't really changed in the last 3, so it's time to get some expert opinions on her heritage!  This is the oldest pic, her legs and torso are just a bit longer now   leash me leash me  If you squint hard enough you can see her brain in this one. Temperament wise she is mellow bordering on lazy. The only loud noise I've heard her make was the yelp when I got her chipped; her barks are incredibly rare, come singly and are strangely hushed. She gets playful and hyper but always stops bouncing around when I do. She's also the least mischievous puppy I've ever met and has never chewed up anything I didn't give to her. She's crazy attentive and picks up new commands and signals readily. I love this dog so drat much.

I don't have any suggestions but apparently border collies do come in brindle like that, so the color alone wouldn't mean she had to be a mix. I don't know anything else about BCs though so she might be a really obvious mix to people who do know something about them. She is really cute!

I don't know much about them either but a trainer friend who does a lot of agility work with border collies told me there's no way she's purebred, for whatever that's worth. I've been able to compare Jenny side-by-side to two BCs around the same age and the known purebreds were both generally larger, stockier, much more muscular, had way thicker coats, longer muzzles (but very similar forehead/stop), and were about a billion times more energetic and aloof. Then again, the working breeds I am familiar with have a lot of variety among individuals, especially when you venture into backyard breeding so I'm essentially clueless. Maybe she'll fill out a bunch over the next year, but her weight hasn't budged in months.
