Too small by a good margin but really looks like my grandad's old Irish Wolfhounds. Here's a stock photo of a young one.  Sure she's full grown?

We used to have an Irish Wolfhound and ours looked a lot lankier as a puppy than that dog, though I do see the similarity! Also, we adopted this little dude over a decade ago and have never resolved exactly what he is.    e: VVV thank god the mystery is over

Babysitting/possibly adopting our friends rescue Indian street puppy. They found her injured, covered in fleas, with a bad bite mark on her face. She's the runt of the liter, and her siblings and mom would apparently attack her constantly. When our friends finally decided to intervene, they had to take her to the vet to have her face stitched up. Anyway, name that mutt! We think beagle. She doesn't bark, just howls. It's the only thing keeping us from adoption. We both hate beagles.

Probably just a pariah dog, aka a muttly mutt with no real discernable breed mix. Pretty much every country/area with enough of a stray or feral breeding population will have an abundance of these type of dogs. They look like a little bit of everything because they are a little bit of everything.

So we just adopted this little guy yesterday:  And he is pretty friendly, sniffs everywhere, loves belly rubs, is incredibly food motivated (probably why he is a bit overweight) and has a bit of a "barooo" howl.    What kind of dog is he? The rescue group said corgi mix, but I'm thinking maybe a basset hound mixed with some kind of Shepard dog?

I think he looks more dachshund mix than corgi. He has that kinda morose look that doxies get.

Here are a few pictures of my dog. We adopted her a few years ago and have heard several different things about her lineage. I've been lurking for a while, and y'all seem to have interesting insights as to what mutts are made of, so I thought I'd get your input.    The possible breeds we've been told: -Full chow that was listed as a chow mix so as to get her adopted more easily -Chow/Golden Retriever mix -Chow/Spitz -Sharpei mix The sharpei guess seems pretty far off when she looks like she normally does, but then again, that came from a vet who saw her after a horrifying mix-up at the (now ex-)groomer who made her look like this:  (sorry if the pictures are too big; let me know if I need to fix them)

The meaty mouth makes me think Chow. The general body type makes me think Samoyed or some other type of spitz.

That is exactly what Chows from BYBs or mills or wherever look like. And functional ones from Asia. Lifeless, they are a type of spitz already.

That groomer photo is kind of horrifying. Glad everything came back in! Nthing chow. Maybe samoyed also if you don't want people to think she's a dick. (All spitz all the time!)

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I guess I'll take her over to the prim thread.Skizzles posted:I'm also nthing BYB chow. Handsome girl though. :3 What the hell kind of mix up happened with that groomer? Honestly? We're not entirely sure. I was still off at school at the time, and when I came home, I found this creature jumping up on me instead of my fluff monster. Supposedly my mom asked to have her coat trimmed somewhat short, and somehow our regular groomer translated that into "shave everything off." Other family members think the groomer probably made a mistake when the dog squirmed or something, resulting in shaving off a patch and then going, "oh poo poo, welp, might as well shave the whole thing evenly and say it was a mistake." My mom said, "that's not my dog!" when they first brought her out, then immediately burst into tears when my poor girl made it abundantly clear that she was indeed our dog. We switched groomers, and legal action was threatened, but all in all it turned out okay. It still took more than a year for her coat to return to normal, and for another half a year she had a bit of a bald spot near her rump that we got checked out and had to get a specific lotion for. She's happy and healthy now, and no longer stares at herself in the mirror wondering what the hell happened to herself.

The dog pretty clearly has tan points that are brindled in addition to the merle or roaning in the black part of its coat. It's actually hard to tell whether this dog is merle or roan. http://www.doggenetics.co.uk/merle.html Topoisomerase fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Mar 10, 2014 |

I just got Hopper from a local rescue two weeks ago. The rescue thinks she's a chihuahua, but my vet thinks she's a dachsund/german shephard mix. She's 5 months old and right now weighs less than 12 pounds. What do you guys think?

That pretty much looks like a chihuahua/GSD mix (I don't want to think about how that happened). The ears are loving awesome, they make her look like a fennec.

I'm assuming (hoping) that the dachshund was the dad and the GSD the mom in that scenario.

That's a sweet germanhuahua you have there! I adopted this girl just before Xmas, pit bull x something?   She's definitely not pure, she's not blocky or large enough, she's about 30 lbs now at 7-8 mos.

pizzadog posted:That's a sweet germanhuahua you have there! Why definitely? How big do you think pits are, exactly? 30 lbs would be acceptable for a bitch I think, and she'll fill out a bit more as she ages. It's tough though. I find that loads of terrier mutts end up looking really pitty regardless of the mix.

pizzadog posted:That's a sweet germanhuahua you have there! I'm with a life less. All I see at this point is pit. Not all pits are super blocky. Some are quite lean, and they're not supposed to be 80lb monsters. Around 30+ lbs is pretty normal pit weight. She's still definitely got time to fill out a bit more.

I guess she could be! I thought pure bred APBT stock is usually more the stocky type and she has a really narrow chest and small paws. She'll probably be about 40 pounds full grown, I'm happy with a pocket pittie though so I can pick her up if need be.

I dunno how much you know about pits, but this is a pure APBT: http://www.stillwaterkennels.com/-%20New%20Folder%20(2)/Customer%20Pics/MartysLilBitVelcro.jpg (countdown to Super coming in to tell me I posted a horrible example or something, looks like it's related to Lil Bit?) This is not an APBT (it's an abomination): http://images03.olx-st.com/ui/1/15/63/4491263_1.jpg Don't ask PI to get into the whole "what really makes a dog an APBT" discussion, because we've been through that and it's... a mess. You appear to just have a generic adorable shelter pit there. Those socks.
