His paws look pretty small, so my guess is that he'll probably be a smallish-to-medium dog when grown - maybe 20lbs, 30 tops?  Looks like a miscellaneous terrier mix to me!

Scary Ned posted:You definitely have an Australian cattledog mix there, the freckles give it away. Look at Brisbane in the OP, when he was a baby and then grown up. Cattledog puppies start out white and then freckle up as they age. Enjoy your heeler, they're amazing. Nope. Ticking like that isn't uncommon in Aussies either. I definitely see the aforementioned Lab/Aussie in him. He's absolutely gorgeous... and what a face!

Dr. Octagon posted:What do you guys think? 17 pounds at 8 weeks? I think she's going to be loving huge. My pup was 9 lbs at 8 weeks, and will be ~40 fully grown. I don't have any good guesses though -- Malamute isn't a bad idea looking at her coat texture. She's a bit too young to see anything concrete yet.

The spotting you see is normally referred to as ticking, and it comes in gradually as the dog ages. Aussies can also tick like that, but I've not seen them come in that late before. Cohen got her few ticks within the first 6 months or so.

I think the math is that at 4 months they're half their adult weight, and at six months they're three-quarters of it. No idea about the mix though. It's just Awesome Dog.

She looks like a border collie cross to me. She's nice and trim, but not too skinny. I wouldn't worry about putting too much more weight on her. If her hip bones have a bit of padding on them I wouldn't worry.

Furminators or shedding rakes are great for shedding season. Otherwise I'd probably just use a slicker brush, but I don't know for sure -- I've always had medium coated dogs.

My dog was also about ten pounds at ten weeks. She's now ~35lbs and 19 inches at the shoulder at a year old. My guess is the dog will be between 40 and 50 pounds all told.

He reminds me of a Dutch Shepherd -- the general shape of the face and the brindle. They're not terribly common, so the likelihood of one being mixed with your brother's mutt is slim, but... (I'd say the other half/three quarters/whatever are American Browndog.) They're drat fine lookin' dawgs.

rysfade posted:Making my first post ever to see what you guys think my dog Holly might be. I adopted her from a small county shelter in Northern California two years ago. The surrendering owners had her listed as a Bull Terrier mix, but I think with the area she's from its a lot more likely that she's an actual Pit Bull mix, or some variant. A lot of the time I list her as a straight 'Herding breed mix' because of the inevitable "baby eater! zomg" looks I get here in the mid-west. First thought was a cross between a Jack Russel Terrier and short coated Border Collie. There could be some pit in there, but almost all mutts end up looking kind of pitty.

Serella posted:Can anyone give me any clues as to what kind of dog my boyfriend has? She's some sort of mutt he adopted a few years ago. She's about 18 pounds of boundless energy, with a completely smooth black and tan coat and a tail that curves upward. I suspect there might be dachshund mixed up in there somewhere, but she seems very terrier-ish as well. She looks a lot like a Chihuahua I know, but is about twice the size. She's probably just a super mutted up terrier mix, but hey maybe there's some Chi in there.

wtftastic posted:I posted Bailey over in the random nonsense thread, but I figured why not ask here? He's very definitely an ACD -- I'm doubtful whether he's even a mix.  As you can see, this Ch. is crazily heavily built, long and low. I mean, he's got kind of houndy ears, and houndy chops (I think -- can't really tell from this angle) but everything about him screams ACD. Could be some Lab in him, way down the line. Maybe. I would just think of him as a BYB ACD. Looks a lot like Ginny Field's ACD, Ginny, actually. Also, re: the stump, there are ACDs called "Stumpy Tailed Australian blah blah blahs". They're ACDs with a naturally bobbed tail.

Lixer posted:The warmer weather seems to tire her out quicker, but I wonder at what cost. I'm worried that we're not going to be able to walk her in the Texas heat (and on the pavement) pretty soon. Living in Canada, I don't exactly have to deal with Texas heat. But get used to carrying a dog water bottle around where ever you take your pup and offering it up for a drink constantly. The heat will definitely sap her energy, for better or worse.

I was under the impression that Boxers had mediocre senses of smell and that SAR dogs used their noses a lot. Apparently I'm mistaken on either one or both counts. The boxer in my agility class can't find treats dropped on the floor without a prolonged search.

Yo, imma blob posted:A boxer in agility? How does it cope with all that activity and that short little nose? It's just low-level stuff. It's a class I help teach with a focus on learning the obstacles. The dog does okay, but needs to take breaks often and can wear out easily. I doubt she'll ever go on to compete or anything, but for now she's fine.

RepliCarter posted:I figured this would be a good place to seek advice... Basically you need to give all the animals their separate space right now. Keep the new dog separated from the cats especially. Give the cats plenty of places to hide and raised areas to escape to. With time they may acclimatize. Then again, they may not. It depends on how easily spooked your cats are, and how intent on chasing the new dog is. You can help it along by performing some counter conditioning exercises with all the animals in relatively close proximity but still separate. Reading through some of the Training Megathread might help you out too. Also, what the gently caress is a Peagle?

EVG posted:Yep! He is full grown but kept the adorable gangly puppy look. That's not merle on his nose/paws, it's ticking. A lot of dog breeds have 'em (like Aussies). Ticking is a darkening of the fur. Merle, simply speaking, is a patchy lightening of it. Aussie/misc Spitz is still a good guess though.

Yeah, was going to say he looks low-content if anything. The trick to training primitive dogs is convincing them that they want to do what you want to do. Positive punishment (scolding, leash popping, etc) has little to no effect and can easily end up poisoning your relationship. It's all about adding value to the behaviours you find desirable and calmly stopping reinforcement to ones you do not. Train in small bursts and make everything from sitting on cue to recalling a great bit happy game with awesome rewards.

MoCookies posted:I'd go with Australian Cattle Dog rather than Australian Shepherd, especially with the less than fluffy coat. However, I'd label the little bugger as a terrier mix over either one of those. Jack Russell's a pretty good candidate, I think. Good luck with him - those are all 3 very smart and athletic breeds, and he's drat cute. ACDs aren't merle - they're just heavily ticked. I'd go with Aussie/Terrier mix.

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.

mombot posted:I really don't know how big they get or how fast, so this might be a reach, but with the popularity of "golden doodles" that is what I'm thinking, but she may be too small to fit with that. She sure is cute though! Another thought is maybe shih tzu/poodle. I've seen a number of "Mini Goldendoodles" which weigh in at no more than 15lbs. Of course, their structure is atrocious (and their temperaments leave something to be desired) -- but they definitely can come pretty tiny. It's often a result of breeding a Golden to a small standard Poodle, then breeding THAT to a mini, and breeding THAT to a toy.

Veskit posted:What do you mean by structure and temperament? Since people so often are so crazy about tiny, cute dogs, irresponsible breeders focus on creating more tiny dogs. However, "is it small?" is just about the only question these crappy breeders ever ask themselves - not "does it move well?" "does it have a stable temperament?" or "can it survive 2 minutes outside in the winter?". Breeding larger dogs down to smaller sizes also does a number on their structure - I have a ~mini goldendoodle~ in one of my classes right now who has stubby, curved legs, no neck, and a huge head. That's not to say that your pup will be a problem (heck, it's tough to say if that's what it is to begin with) but that just the deck tends to be stacked against dogs like this due to the greed and conceit of crappy breeders.
