• brookcove Posted : 9/8/2007 9:17:31 AM Pyranees (the color, hair, and the body shape).  I'm stumped for the other factors (dropped fringed ears, ticking, non-fading color, smaller size) - I'm leaning towards a setter of some kind.  I'd love to see her tail extended.  Actually, I'd love to see ANY more pics of her, she's just drop dead gorgeous. [] Does she have double dew claws on the back?  A really deep carrying bark?  And when she sheds, is it like an elemental force of Nature? If she had a "quill feather" shaped tail, that would be a dead giveaway for the setter.  If she didn't have any setter features, I have an even crazier idea - an afghan or afghan mix (lurcher).  I have a friend who has an afghan lurcher with ears very much like that.  And the color is perfect. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kritter714 Posted : 9/8/2007 10:51:58 AM And when she sheds, is it like an elemental force of Nature? She always sheds  but does not "blow coat" whether that is cause she is spayed and no hormones who knows. I agree with pyr I found this breed at one point and thought she looked like one of them  [linkhttp://www.pyreneanmastiff.org/loq.html]http://www.pyreneanmastiff.org/loq.html[/link]   but I am sure she is just a mix 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• brookcove Posted : 9/8/2007 5:16:50 PM She looks a lot like a Caucasian, er, I forget what they are called, or even nuttier there's a Mongolian mastiff/herd dog she looks a lot like, but that's just fortuitous genetics going on I'm sure. The tail is right for a setter mix. Pyranees usually fade, but if the gene isn't there for it, that's the color they are. It's like seeing a puppy that never faded (I don't know the technical name for it). My Pyr/Maremma cross only got one of those genes and her "beaver" coloring is very strong. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Infiniti Posted : 9/8/2007 11:44:23 PM Caucasian Ovtcharka? I can see it too, if that's the breed you're referring to. In the body structure and coloring. But since those aren't too prevalent in this country (although that would be sweet), I'm inclined to lean towards the Great Pyrenees as well. She looks like a speckled version of my uncle's Pyr. In the second picture, my first thought was that she resembled a Setter, with those ears. The tail carriage is really throwing me for a loop though! Then again, my rough collie carried her tail high above her back in a curl, and she was ALL collie, so crazy things happen. [] There's a few aspects of her that I can't firmly attribute to a specific breed, so I'm going to have to go with Brookcove here and say Great Pyrenees/Setter (maybe English?). She's absolutely gorgeous though, you're so lucky! [sm=wink2.gif] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kritter714 Posted : 9/9/2007 10:28:45 PM LOL her nick name is moose ironic since her full name is Rockett  J Squirel. She will let your kids use her for a pillow in the winter she is to heat sensetive to let tat happen in the summer she would rather be a foot rest though  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
