steve Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 could perhaps someone shed some thought on what kind of breed [her father was a ridgeback but we have no idea what her mother was] our lovely dog is crossed with, shes 12 months old and very loving any thoughts greatly welcomed Quote

abker17 Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 The brindle color makes me think Pit bull. :) Quote
Canis erectus Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I'm inclined to say that mom was a Pit Bull or Pit mix myself. I've seen a few Ridgeback/Greyhound mixes and this girl is too burly-looking and probably too small to be such a dog. The big tip-off is that the post occipital part of the skull is way wider than the muzzle, which is more of a mastiff trait rather than hound. But who's to know for sure. A good way to help narrow down possibilities is too take a look at the most common breeds in your area, as they are the most likely to produce mongrel offspring. Also behavior traits, while not a reliable indicator, can sometimes help to pinpoint a mystery parent's breed. Quote
DogPaddle Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 The snout looks too pointy for pit though doesn't it? Quote
steve Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 from time to time she will,[ what we like to call talking],a sort of howl/ yawn type noises this goes on for ages once she starts, its quite funny to listen to, the pitch goes up high and deep down low, also she likes to place her paws on us and pull our hands to her, esp in the early morning when shes sneeked up stairs and floped on the bed :D Quote
ESSlover Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I have no idea, but she sure is georgeous!! :D I just came from the "Steve Dont Eat It!" post.. I think I'm going to be sick... lol :P Quote
steve Posted July 2, 2005 Author Posted July 2, 2005 we come to the conclusion that shes ridgeback x 'LOVEHOUND' :D she sooo full of love :angel: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I dont think she looks like she has pit in her.... Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 OMG, it looks 100% Plott Hound to me! :o Are you sure one parent was a ridgeback? I dont see that feature on your dog. Quote

imported_Kat Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Shes definitely 100% lurcher :P That high tummy tuck screams grey hound as does her colouring. Quote
BananaDogOwner Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 She's a gorgeous looking dog. I'm going to have to go with greyhound on this one. As said it goes with her overall shape and her features. Quote
