sled dog musher Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Does anyone have a mixed breed? All the dogs I've ever owned except 2 was a mixed breed. The two purebred dogs I owned were Lassie[rough collie] and Lady[smooth collie]. As for my mixed breeds I have owned Miquette [rat terrier mix] Samantha [australian shepherd\border collie] And I currently own Bear[ siberian husky1\3 german shepherd] Duke [Sheltie\ Border Collie] and Riley [rottie\lab\pointer]. I love mixed breeds because they're are no two alike and you can have your two favorite breeds in one dog. Quote
Deez Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 I think I used to have a mix breed, but it's hard to remember how she looked like because I was really small when I had her and I didn't know much about dogs.. :oops: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 I love mixed breeds, for all of the reasons above, and more! :wink: With a mix, you illiminate most health problems or passed on genetic problems, but the downside is, if you get a puppy, you never know how big it will turn out to be or how it will look! :-? But I still love them, life is about taking chances! :wink: Quote
LisaLQ Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Both of mine are mixes, but intentional ones (well, on the part of their original owners) - lurchers, used for hunting and racing on the illegal tracks. Not by me of course - they're both rescue dogs :D Quote
Carolk9s Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Brittany is an Australian Shepherd/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Candy looks to be a Labrador/Terrier/Beagle mix. Quote
abker17 Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I've always owned mixes! My first mix was Midnight, a toy poodle mix, then Cracker, a malamute mix, and Abby, a border collie mix. See my sig... :D :D :D :D Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Both my dogs are mixes. Lucky-border collie/golden retriever and Chaos-ummmm no clue. Although she kinda looks like a black dingo. Quote
StarFox Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Yup Zebra is 100% pure Grade A Mutt! We think he is german shepherd/Golden retriever mix. But as you can tell in my avitar he dosn't look like either..so your guess is as good as ours. :wink: Quote
JackieMaya Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 My family has always had either Yellow Labs or Golden Retrievers, and from what I can remember, they were all purebred (or close to it). Now I have two mixed-breed dogs who I adopted from a rescue shelter, and they're absolutely wonderful dogs. Jackie (the black one) is Golden Retriever/German Shepherd/Collie (we think; she was rescued from the pound so there was no history on her). And Maya is Golden Retriever/Husky (she was an owner-surrender so I know that's her mix). Quote
Marble Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 i've had three purebred labs and now have two mutts, lady is an american eskimo mix and dresden is an australian cattle dog/doberman mix. they are the healhiest, most interesting (good and bad) dogs i've ever owned, at this point, although i admire many pure breeds i don't think i'd own one.........

Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 WE've always had mixed until Cody. He's pure breed Australian Shepherd, Zoey is a Rottie/GSD (we think.. ) we had a yellow lab mix, chow chow /shepherd mix and a rott/lab mix all were great dogs! here some photos of ZOey.. she looks pure bred but her under coat is coming in light light brown, like a GSD... Zoey at??? maybe 4 months.. she's a resuce from the pound so we dont know.. Quote
courtnek Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I had one purebred dog - A Golden Retriever - Taurus every one since then has been a mix Rasilon - Irish Wolfhound and German Shepherd Jarvis - Alaskan Malamute and Border Collie (vet thought there was some wolf in there as well, because of his teeth) Freebee - Labrador Retriever and German Shorthair Pointer (we think) Alex - Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab All but Freebee have gone to the Rainbow Bridge....

wolfsoul Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 My dog is a big mix because of her mother carrying three breeds, and her father carrying four breeds; She's a siberian husky/ rhodesian ridgeback/ collie/ australian shepherd/ german shepherd/ belgian shepherd/ golden retriever cross. Her name is Timber, you can see her in my sig. I haven't had many mixes in my life. I've had a german shepherd/ doberman/ border collie/ lab cross. She was gorgeous. Pure white. Looked like a white german shepherd, but carried temperments from all four breeds. I had a chesapeake bay retriever/ american cocker spaniel cross. Blue eyes. Nice chocolate fur. All the rest of my dogs have been purebred. Right now I have Timber, and my purebred german shepherd dog, Leather. Quote
LisaLQ Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 sled dog musher napisał(a):Are they greyhound mixes? Think so :wink: I adopted them from rescue, but lurchers are usually bred specifically for hunting or racing, so whoever bred them chose their breed mixes for a reason. Dont agree with either though, but they're pets here :D Quote
NoisyTiger Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 My dog is alot of different things. We can tell that he has Beagle in him considering he looks exactly like a beagle only he's the size of a lab. It's freaky but we love him all the same! :) We got him from the paper. He was free (the only way we ever get any pet my parents are so cheep sometimes :P) Anyways I have a picture of him on my web-site and I plan to have many more! Quote
Carolk9s Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 NoisyTiger, is it possible your dog is a foxhound or harrier? These breeds have the same general 'look' as a beagle but are much bigger dogs. Here's an American Foxhound Here's a Harrier Also here is a link to a photo of an English Foxhound http://www.dogomania.com/gallery/breeds/987504321.html Quote
NoisyTiger Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Thanks for your help, but we already know that his dam was mostly Beagle his sire was unknown. So it could be very possible that those breeds are mixed in with him! But, alas, we know that he is in fact part beagle. I found out from his old owners, but thanks so much for the reply! That was very thaughtful of you ^_^! Quote
DogPaddle Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Ah I love the Harrier, of the hound breeds it and the Bloodhound are the only ones I have ever considerd. Alas I live in a townhome and do not think the neighbours would enjoy the houndly music they make. :wink: Quote
