What breeds are my dogs?
I've got several dogs that I am curious about, all of them are rescue dogs so the breeds were a guessing game. Two were strays and the third was abandoned as a puppy. The first my daughter's dog Pandora the one that was abandoned, the shelter guessed that she was a German Sheppard / Chow mix...

Name This Mixed Breed?
My mom and I have been caring for this sweet little lunatic of a dog named Jake. It's clear that he's some kind of mixed breed and/or pure, sheer mutt. Even still, he has a lot of strange personality traits and vocalizations that have intrigued me. I say there's some basinji in there, but...

Traits of a mixed breed-please voice opinion
A family member of mine just gotan 8 week old Westie/schnauser mix. Both parents were pure bred, so she is now around nine, almost ten weeks old. My mother just told that they are referring to her as a "Devil child" (Please do not dwell on that is is with love not hate), because everytime they...

Airedales, anyone?
We brought our new Airedale puppy home 10 days ago and are enjoying her to no end. I was wondering if anyone else here had an Airedale - I thought it would be fun to compare notes and maybe learn even more about them. One new experience for us is that of having a 'rare' breed. I've always...

My Mimi Dane
Seeing that there are all these designer breeds for fun I came up with one of my own. People are always asking me what breed Smokey is. The truth is I really don't know. The shelter told me she was a Boxer Shepard mix. She looks nothing like either breed. So about a month ago I had her DNA done....

Hello, I'm new with some questions!

Dutchies.... Gotta Love Em!!
So I didn't have much experience with the wonderful world of working dogs and had certainly never heard of a Dutch Shepard until Havoc stepped into my life. He's now 5yrs old and one hell of a kick in the pants. They definitely are not for everyone as their drive can be too much for some but...

Small breeds suitable to live with large breeds
So T-Bone is going to get a sibling at some point. I've been considering bull terriers, collies, another GSD, a Dobe, etc. T-Bone is gonna be a big boy and I want to make sure his sibling has the stamina to play with him, the strength to wrestle and play tug-o-war, and most importantly not be injured...

So, You Wanna Live With a Dobe?
When people ask what it's like to live with a dobe, it's easy, for me, to get caught up in talking about the energy level, the stigmas, the protective instincts & the intelligence that you can expect to deal with. I tend to forget to mention other "little things" that are innately...

Odd Colored Aussie?
http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16295485 I was skimming around on petfinder and saw this guy. Such an odd color, I've never seen before a dog, let alone an aussie.

What breed is my Reston?
Reston was put out of her house at 4 months old, and I rescued her. However training has been somewhat difficult and i think if i knew what she was i could do some research and have a better chance. So what is she lol???

GSDs
Okay so my dad has it narrowed down to 2 breeds- Chessies and GSDs. He wants a Chessie to be a gun dog, she wants a GSD and has dreamed of one since she was little. Just knowing how things work (lol) I think they'll end up with another GSD. Now, my dad has had a GSD before and loves them but our...

Can A Maremma Be A Good Family Companion Dog?
Hi everyone, This is my first post here and I am looking forward to getting some good advice from you all. I have always owned GSDs but both my last two had to be PTS (one at 9 years of age and one at only 5) due in both cases to neurological issues which has left me heartbroken and also very reluctant...

Chessies
Okay so out of left field but the dog isn't for me, it's for my dad. He has wanted a big dog for a while now, hasn't had one since our shepherd passed. There were really two things he wanted in a dog, a strong protective/guardian streak and a bird dog. He's looked at a LOT of breeds....

Finding a responsible Papillon Breeder
I currently have a neutered male Papillon who will be 10 this November and a 2 year old GSD. I am considering adding another Papillon in the next couple of years and am looking for breeder recommendations (might as well start the research early!). I love my boy, but I also learned a lot from him. As...

Is this a legitimate breed? I saw one today and they are so cute. But, I've never heard of them until just recently.

Does anyone have a good deal of experience with wolf hybrids?
I'd like to speak to some people who have either owned more than one, or who have worked at a rescue for them. I am not looking to adopt one of these animals, but I have my suspicions that my own dog may have at least a little more wolf in him than the average pup. xD Here's a few pictures...
