Dog breed?

Post by Bent Arrow » 28 Aug 2018, 9:27 pm

I know it’s always more guess than anything else, but anyone got any clues what breeds this pup might have blended into it?

Can you give a side on shot?

Age?

Looks pure Malinois to me. It's a protection dog.

Hard without more photos, but my guess on that one would be Boxer X German Shep.
It'll shoot the fleas off a dog's back at five hundred yards, Tannen, and it's pointed straight at your head!

That was my first thought too :thumbsup: ...but it looks too small for a boxer--it looks young, but id assume it to look bigger.
Maybe Shephard with boxer/bitsa...

Hmmm, back story is I found it wandering around in the bush. Because it had a collar I took it into the local Council, it does not have a PIT. They've held it for the obligatory period, no ones claimed it, so they've offered it up to me before they send it off to AWL shelter. I need to decide if I want it or not......I certainly don't "need" as I've already got a great lab.......hmmmm

It's too much of an oddball looking thing not to keep, you've gotta do it. Besides, any Jack Russel fruit bat cross breed is bound to have a big personality!! :drinks:

So is that you in the pic BA...?

If its a reasonable personality, its yours...!!!
If thats you, it looks happy with you...!!

A happy dog is a blessing in a mans life, even if he already has a best mate...

What if no one wants it because of its looks & it gets put down...?
What if someone gets it because it looks kooky & they abuse/neglect/mistreat it...?

Its fate...that dog needs you BA...you've probably saved its life...it will repay you in some way...!!! :thumbsup:

Well let's just say it’s your fault I now have two dogs.

It's looking very might like he's a chance to turn out to be a good dog...... Providing he stays in my yard.

A very quick learner, good with the kids and my other dog, good with food, good on the lead, super alert and switched on. Cautious with people. Has made himself a home in a bean bag at the back door under my study windows where there is no chance of missing out on a pat. Vet reckons he's about 4 months old.......…

He's a beautiful boy, looks like a bit of Staffy lurking in his DNA.
Good on you for giving him a home.

Dogs are my favourite people, never met one I didn't like.

Nice one BA, you've done a good deed and it sounds like he's a little ripper, so you've both won :drinks:
