A friend of mine is going to Vet school currently, and she posted on Facebook about this gorgeous dog. He was at a local pound/shelter, and was in an outdoor run, and was being rescued by a local rescue, when they found that he was heart worm positive. If no one fostered him while he went through the treatment, then he would have to be put down. On Monday I went to meet this great guy, and instantly feel in love. I am now fostering the little guy, and helping him through all of this.    He is drat smart, and while a little excitable, is pretty chill. On Monday we are going in to get brain surgery(neutered), and then after that he can finally start treatment for the worms.

He looks like a purebred Australian Cattle Dog. He's very handsome. Good luck treating the HW.

He's got a ton of solid black so I would probably guess mostly ACD mix. ACDs generally have roaning all over their bodies, not just the irish markings. His face and body scream cattledog though so maybe he's just from weird working lines.

a life less posted:He looks like a purebred Australian Cattle Dog. He's very handsome. Good luck treating the HW. Ya, the vet put him down as ACD/Husky mix. The only thing I hate is that I live in an apartment, but right now I am just going to enjoy my time with him, and in four months or so, end up probably foster failing. Thanks, hopefully he will make it through. Just gotta keep him calm. Instant Jellyfish posted:He's got a ton of solid black so I would probably guess mostly ACD mix. ACDs generally have roaning all over their bodies, not just the irish markings. Yea, I am not sure really. From behind he looks a lot like a GSD. I will probably do that stupid DNA test, just because I am dumb and enjoy fun.

I got a distinct GSD/ACD vibe from his pictures, so I think that's a strong possibility.Big Head Rico posted:
Looks like he could be straight up cattledog/dachshund mix. Very cattledog looking. Love that eye spot.

Nooooo! I hope they or you can find another temporary foster and his heartworm treatment goes perfect and then you can foster to adopt him when you move away from your roommate  I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want to foster him, look at him!!!

Dust Radio posted:Judging by pics I've seen of DS pups, his Chewbacca noises, periods of pure insanity, and the fact that his coat is coarse and not fluffy, I think he's at least a DS mix. God help us. God help you indeed  He does look more like a DS in that picture. Good news anyway aside from being completely insane they are sweet dogs. He is going to test you constantly just be ready for that, DSs are rules lawyers and they are very smart. Say for example if they aren't allowed in a particular room they will keep testing you, can they put a foot in the room, can they lay their snout in the room, what if they turn around and just their butt is in the room. Just be on top of stuff like that. Captain Dilly posted:I'm curious to see what you guys think of my three year old fella, Hank. I just adopted him a couple of months ago. Gorgeous whatever he is. I was looking up different basset mixes since that is what he looks like to me and apparently for some reason there is a 'designer' breed called the basschshund (basset x dachshund) so that is what I am voting he is since the name is funny.

So I rescued a redbone/??? mutt last week, and I'm not quite sure what she's a mix with. She's 13 weeks old, but she's a quick learner. She knows how to defeat the crate, but stays in it anyways because she likes the bedding.  We're starting to train her to track scents with that powerful nose of hers, and she's 5 for 5 on trials so far. Moving the trail to the woods doesn't seem to hamper her, so we might train her to become a search dog.  She's pretty mellow and less vocal, so I'm wondering if that comes from the "not-redbone" part of her, along with the white stripe on the nose. She's very good with kids and new people. Other pics:

Brisbane's came back 1/2 heeler, 1/8 AmStaff, 1/8 bullmastiff, 1/8 Cavalier. Knew about the heeler, the spaniel explains all the curly hair and flag tail, and he has the angulation of a fat blue hippo dog so I think we're good.

You could definitely see all the ribs clearly but her stomach wasn't nearly as emaciated. She looks so much healthier and happier in that second pic, good job.

When we got Wallace and Gromit initially we were told they were pure Jack Russells. I'm glad they aren't though, JRs have ratty faces IMO. We think they might be part Bichon Frisé. Wallace is much braver than Gromit   I'm a terrible person who sends snapchats of their dogs

The bestworst JRTs I've ever seen. There're part something pockety, probably Bichon or Malteese, maybe Westie, off chance a mutty 'Crested'. How much damage, to the nearest hundred dollars, have they caused to your stuff? This is a key identifier.

Jacks are like Border Collies - they're a working breed so the looks part of the breed standard is, well, less standard than kennel club breeds. I could buy Gromit as being a Westie mix, but Wallace looks mostly Jack to me. Check out the second 'type' on this page: http://www.therealjackrussell.com/jrtca/realjack.php

Yeah JRTs in all shapes and sizes are really common around here. I'd say they're both full JRT.

This is Vanya, he's a JRT x ???   It's pretty funny watching people try to figure out what he's mixed with. I had someone guess beagle the other day, and someone else guessed Australian kelpie.  His father was a miniature fox terrier, which is an Australian pseudo-breed made up of all sorts of things. The ones in the country, which do actual work catching rabbits in fairly rough territory, are much more compact and powerfully built than the ones in the city, which either look like black and white chihuahuas or black and white minpins. This is his predecessor, Bongo, a "purebred" (lol) miniature fox terrier:   What the hell do you think went into that little guy? Definitely a lot of Jack Russell, but the foxies are a lot finer and have smaller heads. Both fantastic dogs, anyway. Bonus lifestyle shot:

I could buy Gromit as being a Westie mix, but Wallace looks mostly Jack to me. I never knew there were so many 'types' of JRT, the second one looks just like Wallace with a haircut. Gromit was the runt of their litter so maybe that's why he doesn't look like Wallace?
