What kind of dog do I own?

    What kind of dog do I own?

    It looks a bit huskyish. It has that wolf look, but I'm pretty sure it's not husky. It's very slim, pointed ears, face is mostly black except for a streak of white and the body is white with various brownish black spots. It's 8 months old and comes up to my knee.

    A picture would help I know. I don't have a digital camera though. Anywho, thanks for the welcome.

    What part of it comes up to your knee?  You measure dogs by their height at the withers (shoulders), so that would be a pretty tall corgi!  Or do you mean the tip of his ears?

    The ears pass my knee, the top of the head is to my knee, I'm 5'9.

    Corgis don't have white spotted bodies, and what you describe is too big for a corgi.  It's hard to say what you DO have, but easier to rule out one that you don't.  [:)]  Maybe an Akita mix?

    it's body is white, it has black spots on it, but, hmm... okay not corgi... well, Thursday I'm taking it to the Pet's smart to pick up "real toys" I'm sure they can tell me. Thanks people. ^_^

    This is a corgi:  [linkhttp://forum.dog.com/asp/tm.asp?m=60606]http://forum.dog.com/asp/tm.asp?m=60606[/link]  Granted there are two different types of corgi's, Welsch and Pembroke.

    The last photo has both a puppy and an adult, cute aren't they? 

    ... photo's definitely would help. But, go by the photo gallery and take a look, if you see a dog that resembles yours, let us know.

    Jeano is right, odds are that Petco will GUESS what kind of dog you have, but they probably will have no clue.  Most people don't, half the time even the Humane Society, who see's dogs 24/7 don't even know. 

    Goodluck and welcome to dog.com

    That's very small to be an akita mix [:D].
     
     
    Where did you get your dog? Do you know if it's a mix breed?
     
    I know there used to be a poster with a husky X corgi. If I remember correctly, it had husky markings and a corgi body.

    Maybe its a klee kai (sp?). They are pretty much like a miniature husky. But they're supposed to be really rare!!

    I had shoulder height in mind when I posted that.  [&:]  Once I realized we were dealing with ears and it's 8 mos old, I realized that wasn't right.
