    Another guess the mix

    I was looking for a crate for Sam and found these doggies....I'd love to take on(the male) but 2 dogs is enough, and I don't know how big they will get. Any idea on the mix?

    the top one looks very Akita actually. The bottom looks almost Pyr'ish due to the markings...are they related?

    In looking again it's possible the white is mother to the silver...she looks Akita X too...Long coated possibly but hard to tell...the puppy's coat looks like it might've been clipped down?

    I thought Akita or Husky type dog too. But I can'r tell how big they are....I do think they may be dam/pup or littermates.

    yes standing pictures would be so helpful. Have you emailed to ask if they have other pictures?

     

    eta: look here the dog Hedi has very similar coloring...bet with a bath some stripes would come out lol..

    I'm making myself not e-mail them, I can't have another dog right now and I don't want to lead them on when they are trying to do the right thing. *sigh*

    Edit - they do look very similar to those Akita's in your link

    I think the male has a very wolf/coyote look to him.....his shorter fur, upright ears trianuglar ears, more gray-ish color. Maybe it's just me....

     The male does look a bit wolfy but he doesn't IMO look like he is a wolf hybrid. This is a neat page about IDing hybrids: http://www.wolfpark.org/wolfdogs/Poster_section1.html

    Wow, I agree that the girl looks like a Pyr - the eyes, the look, the pose, and the "badger" markings.  With BC or Aussie maybe - smooth coated? - plus some husky?

    The pup looks like husky/BC/and then if he's the pup of the female, then there would be that Pyr also - the sire could be anything, and I'd be reallly tempted to guess that it's a littermate of the female, her own sire, etc - it kind of has the look of it.

    The second one definitely reminds me of a Great Pyrenees with the markings. I also see possibly Australian Shepherd or other herding dog.
