What Kind of Dog is This?

[Donna K & Quincy]

Lately there have been lots of discussion about the mixes in our doodles and then trying to guess what kind of puppy it is that Linda (Linda and Murphy) found themselves caring for.

I was watching a recent episode of the Dog Whisperer and they had this cute little fellow, who just happened to have his DNA tested. I thought it might be fun for you to guess what his pedigree is. There are 4 breeds in the mix, one of which is really unexpected. Take your best guess and see how close you can come. Sorry, there is no prize for being the winner, just the satisfaction of knowing you are right. If anyone can get three of the four you are a genius. The pics were taken from the TV so not the greatest quality.

I will post the answer in a couple of days. Get your thinking caps on!

Yeah!  OK...GR, Collie.... and Briard, Sheepdog

Dori, you're on a roll, Sheepdog is also correct.

????? Retreiver-Collie.....................Irish setter Lab how about doodle?? What else is there?????

[Donna K & Quincy]

No Irish Setter.

Okay, just in case you're not considering a boxer a "bully breed", I'm going with boxer. That underbite and dome head has to come from somewhere!

[Donna K & Quincy]

No boxer, so far we have Retreiver, Collie, Sheepdog. The fouth dog in the mix may be considered a bully by some.

Collie and Sheepdog are pretty broad catagories..........

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

Bearded Collie?.....

That's the description of an Akita.

Karen, You are so smart :) I didn't even see this clue and still wouldn't have guessed Akita. That is why you make the big bucks around here...LOL!
