    What type of dog is this?

    I have never seen one of these guys until yesterday, is this a pure breed or a cross?

    Thanks!

    My uneducated guess is it is a chow mix but I am sure people will be along with other info soon!

    cattle dog/heeler/aussie & corgi?

    What a cutie!! If I had to guess I would say, cattle dog/corgi, but I am no expert on these things!! [:D]

    I'd say cattle dog/corgie, too, but that long hair has me thinking something else, too.

    Yeah, me and the wife fell in love with this little guy.

    I was hoping he was a known breed, so it would be easier to locate a similar pooch.

    Looks to me like a purebred longhaired Pembroke Welsh Corgi.  It DOES happen, in both Cardis and Pembies.  Cheetah (astaracheetah) has one...Shippo's a fluffy

    I don't think it's a fluffy Corgi.  It's body is too big and heavy for a Corgi, almost Basset like.  It almost looks like a Chow on short legs, yet something about the head shape (not coloring) reminds me of a GSD, too.  My guess would be Chow/GSD/Basset.

    HA HA - he/she looks like a corgi mix.  What a cutie!  Looks hot too!

    There're some pretty fat corgis out there these days xD  I'd go for a Corgi cross, but I see no GSD

    Haha! So cute!

    I recently groomed a Chow/Basset mix that looks a lot like that.
