@Vintimus Prime: Also agreeing that Leia looks malamute in the face. Malamute/collie or GSD maybe? Do you have any more pictures of Leia?

@You Look Adopted: Are you sure he's a mix? It'd be easier to tell if you have a better body shot of him.

Any thoughts on Quaffle being part Anatolian Shepherd?



That last one looks ESPECIALLY like this one of Quaffle:



I think it's possible, and more likely than greyhound. What part of the country do you live in (I promise not to stalk you... except to pet Quaffle)? I've seen a least a couple Anatolians in my city, but I imagine they're more common in more farm-y places.

I don't know if you know PIer huskyjackal (she doesn't post much anymore), but she's down in Birmingham right now. I'm not really sure why that matters but she's supposed to be getting a ride up to Tennessee soon to get her car out of the impound lot and I just imagined a Diaz/Quaffle playdate would be the cutest thing ever. :allears:

Anyway, to stay on topic, anyone wanna take a stab at guessing what this dog is? GSD/??? I'd estimate he's about 50 lbs.

The "Toto" dog is a Cairn Terrier, and I don't doubt there's some Cairn in that dog. My bet is on Cairn/Yorkie mix. I don't see any drat Bichon.

Captain Invictus, yeah I don't see blue eyes. :confused: I see brown irises and light reflecting from the camera flash. But I think there's certainly some Dobie in there, but no mastiff.

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

The DNA tests are largely crap. There's a video somewhere of a lady doing one on her purebred pit (or maybe amstaff, don't remember), and the results came up border collie. Because the dog was black and white and they only test for so many breeds, so if your dog's a breed that's not on the list you're SOL.

That tail is a German Shepherd tail, the rest is probably a lot of Lab, though those ears do look like there might possibly be something else in there. Probably not Akita though.

A fellow goon recently acquired a new dog (the previous owner was a douchebag who forced his wife to get rid of him because he would destroy the blinds when they were gone). I was curious about his makeup. Speculations include a mix of chocolate lab, pointer, dane, pit, weim? Who knows. He's 70 lbs.

There seems to definitely be some boxer in there. She looks a bit brindle, which is not a lab color, so I vote for boxer/pit. If you ever rent an apartment or get homeowner's insurance, though, keep telling them boxer/lab like the vet said (and make sure that's what the vet put on her papers).

Pits can develop dog-aggression, but good ones will never show aggression to people (dog-aggression and human-aggression are completely separate drives). Some pits are fine with other dogs, and thanks to crazy breeding they can vary a bit in size.

what I'm saying is congrats on your new pit

It's entirely possible she could have a little bit of something else in there, but like TVs Ian said, it's hidden by the pit. Considering pits make up the most dogs in shelters, it's crazy common to find them there. Good luck, she's quite handsome. :)

That is a corgi face if I've ever seen one! Reminds me of my parent's pembroke. I'd guess pem/pom.

In the first pic the face/ear tufts look really Sheltie, but in the second it does look a bit more Corgi. But it still has a petite-ness to it. So I say all three. :colbert:

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.

It's on the small side for Aussies, but since it's a mix--nevermind I just saw a life less' post. :downs: I say go with that, some kind of herder mix, maybe all the herding breeds are in there, who knows.

Australian Shepherds are herders, yes. Very smart dogs.

We're not sure what they are breed-wise, but we think they have chow because of the purple tongues. We were toying with the idea of DNA tests, but in the end it doesn't matter what they are. They are the sweetest dogs and very well behaved and I can't wait to see them when I get home.

Purple tongues are not unique to Chows, actually. They can show up in a variety of breeds. I'd say your dogs are some sort of typical Lab or Flat-coated Retriever mixes. Also, the DNA tests are largely a load of utter crap, so save your money and enjoy your dags. :3:

It makes sense, but we were expecting some sort of Aussie (because of the brindle coat). He's got a Chow tongue.

I'm not sure Aussies even come in brindle (help me out here, Aussie people). I think you're thinking of merle. But yes your dog is brindle.

And I said this just a few posts ago right up the page that purple tongues are not unique to Chows, they can show up in several breeds. I think I'm going to have to rank this as the #1 most popular dog myth. I don't know why I even try anymore, everyone must think I'm retarded to get my panties in a bunch over it all the time. :downs:

It's really hard to tell since I'm on my phone, especially from that one picture, but I dunno about Corgi/chi.

I just wanted to mention it's a myth that tug will encourage aggressiveness. You should teach her a good "drop it" or "give" before playing, but when played with boundaries, tug is a great game.
