I guess that means you are finished with dreaming up big, powerful,
rare breeds he might be? Anyway, I can't help but think that
misrepresenting your dog's breed(s) is cowardly.


I "DO" think Muttley looks closer to an Anatolian Shepherd than any other
breed.
The Anatolians I have met have been very nice. I think it's also possible
that Muttley perhaps may be changing for the better, simply because he's
now INSIDE as opposed to being tied OUTSIDE to a tree, and his self
confidence and socialization is improving. The fact that He has become
incorporated into Paul's life enough that Paul now takes him on personal
excursions says a lot. Those changes CAN be life changing for a dog, and
Muttley may well be morphing into a wonderful dog without some magical
trainers intervention.

I'm very cautious about saying this, because I "AM" well aware of Paul's
coloring events with his own special colored crayons and somewhat detached
sense of reality and expectations.


Diddy,

I also think that Muttley looks like he is mostly Anatolian. Though the
Anatolians I have known did bite people in the butts.

And don't faint; If you and Shelly could agree on something it is less
shocking that the two of us could agree. Tracking and obedience trainers
and all.
