    Guess the Mix!

    This boy is available for adoption at my local shelter; I'm working with him on basic manners. [:)] Anyt thoughts on the mix?

    He's 20mo, about 40-45lbs, short coated, very lithe build, very muscular, intense. Some light speckles on his nose, chest, and toes. shortish tail that is usually carried up high w/ a slight upward curve, about 20-21" at the shoulder I would guess.

    Maybe Australian Cattle dog and GSD?

    Hmm...maybe pit and ACD.

    I'm almost starting to think that there is a new breed of dog that we had no clue existed.  I see so many "mixed" dogs that look exactly like this and everyone will say something different about what it is.
     
    My guess would be pit/GSD/ACD but the build, chest area, almost seems hound-like to me.

    I think he's a "true mutt". If you just let dogs breed nilly-willy with no human intervention you end up with short-haired double-coated dogs, often yellow in color and with a slightly curved tail, of about that size and build.
