I am assembling a “mixed breed identification blog” at
http://www.mutthut.blogspot.com. And I am inviting shelters, rescues, and dog owners to contribute photos and breed guesses. Please let me know if you plan to contribute so I can add a link to your organization (if applicable).
I decided to start up this site after acquiring a mixed breed pup a few days ago. I was disappointed to find so little for new owners or enthusiasts of mixed breeds. I found a few “what breed is this?” on message boards and forums like this, but I thought the blog format would be easier to organize and search for users.
A little about me: I have worked in animal welfare for while living in the US (both in advocacy and in shelter work), and moved to the Caribbean a few years ago. I discontinued the professional side of animal rescue, and thought this would be a fun way to assist shelters and dog owners on a small level. This is a pet project (sorry about that) and I have no intentions to take anything from this but a good feeling and a chance to connect with other mutt-lovers
I truly hope folks will take the time to contribute with photos and/input. I think the Breed ID plays a large role in helping owners connect with their dogs and understand behaviors.
Please pass this along to any shelter employees, volunteers, board members, adopters, etc that may be interested in the site…I hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
Shannon McDonald
