What Breed Is My Dog?

RE: What Breed Is My Dog? Post By Jennifer (Guest Post) (06/04/2008) I'm not sure about a specific breed. When I had my dog Lady, people asked all the time what kind of dog she was (BTW she was a cocker spaniel) but still I would just smile and say "she's a good dog". Nuff said :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: What Breed Is My Dog? Post by shishi (24) | (06/03/2008) Profile | Contact Boy, you sure got a polyglot of breeds in those replies. From the look of that tail, his coloring, and your description of his personality, I would guess he has some Blue Heeler, or Australian Cattle Dog in him, mixed with any or all of those mentioned in the other posts! We had a 1/2 blue heeler. He was super protective, alert, muscular, and liked to run. We had to work on some behavior issues, also (jumping, nipping heels, etc.). As he grew older, he settled down a lot and became very affectionate. Report Spam or Abuse RE: What Breed Is My Dog?

The signal there would be a very FOX looking, with an extremely curled tail. And it screams like an injured child. They don't bark. I had to do the research on finding out what WE had found, and was assisted by basinji owners. What you can do is go to www.petfinder.com and find the ask/contact us link, as to send your photo to them. They will help. We use that alot when we can't figure out the breeds. Hope this helps.

He sounds like he may have some of these personality traits and coloring. Report Spam or Abuse RE: What Breed Is My Dog?

Will absolutely climb a tree to chase a squirrel! We have adopted 4 along the years and love the breed. www.dogster.com/breeds/rat_terrier.

Behavior issues are most successfully approached and resolved when dog psychology is taken into consideration. No one is better at this than Cesar Millan, aka the Dog Whisperer. We have four dogs, purebred and mixed breed, and have learned a lot by watching DVDs of his National Geographic TV series. We're better dog owners and the dogs are happy and well-behaved.There are many episodes of past shows available and can be rented through Netflix or DVD store. His latest book "The Pack Leader," also is very helpful. Cesar says he rehabilitates dogs and trains people. His methods make so much sense and they really work. Good luck with your new best buddy.
