Dog Community

One of our latest fosters. Breed ideas?

Hopefully this link will work. If not I'll have to figure something else out tomorrow. I haven't even seen the dog myself...only the photos. The color pattern is all brindle not merle. It was a bit hard to tell for sure, from the photos, and so asked one of our members who'd seen the dog.

I'd say an Aussie mix for sure. Brindling does occur in the breed too: http://www.ashgi.org/color/brindle_aussies.htm

I see Aussie, too. And some Lab, possibly a little Golden. He's a handsome fellow. There's something about his expression that I really like.

For some reason I don't see the aussie but I just can't put my finger on what breeds I do see. We do have..it is a her, listed as aussie mix.

It's her head- it's not real obvious, but I can see a little Aussie there. She really is stunning. And I love her expression.

Could be mixed with a Golden too, as I believe any of them also carry the potential to produce brindle:
