• Dana Posted : 5/23/2006 10:14:19 AM Is it possible for you to include a photograph? Then we may be able to determine what the breed of your cousin's dog is. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• pumaward Posted : 5/23/2006 10:17:42 AM A photograph would help a lot, like lazlowe said. Keep in mind though, it would only be a guess; currently there's no sure-fire way to find out breeds in a mix.   sorry, this is off topic, but is there any chance you could not use caps. Generally, they are taken, on the internet, as yelling . For instance: "Get your dog" would be different than "GET YOUR DOG." And, I'm sorry if it seems rude, I don't mean it that way [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• diane303 Posted : 5/23/2006 11:56:44 AM That is correct.  There is no way to know what breed is in there.  This question irks me a little.  If you have a mixed breed dog and it is wonderful and adorable, what does it matter what breeds are there.  You would only be guessing anyway.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• amstaffy Posted : 5/23/2006 12:06:25 PM I would want to know if I had a mix what breeds are there to identify if there were going to be any known behavior issues to expect such as high energy, barker, grooming..etc   A picture would really help to make our guesses 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• puggylover Posted : 5/23/2006 12:10:06 PM I agree with that.  I tried for awhile to figure out what my dog Pepe was mixed with so I could figure out if that was a cause of some of his behaviors and also how to groom him properly.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• magilacudy Posted : 5/23/2006 12:18:57 PM I've had so many people ahve different opinions on what Sara is. I believe she is lab/chow. My Dad believes she is lab/bermese. My Gramma-lab/shep. I wanted to know and I was  a little worried with chow, because everyone kept saying never have a chow with children. But I know another chow now and they are fine with my kids. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• diane303 Posted : 5/24/2006 12:51:52 PM If you are committed to keeping the dog, knowing the breed background isn't going to tell you any more than living with the dog.  I had a poodle schnauzer mix that had a personality that you wouldn't equate with either a poodle or a schnauzer.  Besides, you would only be guessing about the breeds, so what is the actual value? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sillysally Posted : 5/24/2006 12:58:56 PM Well, with pits and other breeds that can have issues of dog aggression, it lets you be on the alert for these behaviors.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• diane303 Posted : 5/24/2006 3:30:47 PM But....how do you actually know it is part pit unless you've seen a parent?  I might be part American Bulldog, or Boxer, or any other bully breed.  Wouldn't you kind of guess by looking at it that it might be pit and then watch out for certain behaviors?  If it is part pit (you would never actually know), the infusion of, say, golden retreiver or pointer, might balance any antisocial behavior.  And then I've known some really sweet and social pits, too. Besides, there are puppy tests to see how aggressive or submissive you puppy has a tendency to be no matter what breed it is.  I've seen English Springer Spaniels that have terrible aggressive tendencies.  You're just second guessing yourself.  Instead of wasteing time trying to ponder what breed the dog is, why not take time to do research in training and molding its personality?[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Keep in mind too that a mixed breed dog can be more than just a mix of 2 breeds. Who knows how many mixes are involved going down through the generations of it's family? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
