Identifying MacKenzie
Okay, guys, I'm sure now. Kenzie's rottie-like coloring is rottweiler, not
dobie or GSD or anything else. She's got the rottie walk, especially from the rear. I haven't a clue what other breeds she has in her, but the first guess of "rottie mix" seems to be correct. The walk is unmistakable. PetsMart Pet Trainer My Kids, My Students, My Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/m...age/index.html Last updated June 27 at 10:00 a.m. |

Ah, the eternal joy of guessing your mutt's heritage! ;-) It's one of the
most fun things about owning a mix. Well, Rotties are nice dogs, so if she's a Rottie mix, that's just fine. -Shannon "Leah" -OFF wrote in message ... Okay, guys, I'm sure now.

The thing with Kenzie is that she's obviously got so many breeds mixed in with her, it's been really tough trying to figure out what she is. Usually I can determine one or two distinguishing breeds in a mix, but then there are these dogs I call Shrugs (stolen from another poster, Terri I think :}. Miss Kenzie is of the Shrug persuasion. Take a look at her (sig file) and see what you think. Of course, you can't see her walk in the pictures. I'm pretty sure Murphy is an aussie mix, and my guess is maybe English shepherd. (Hey, it's as good a guess as any. :} Actually, determining breed mixes has become one of my hobbies to the point of where the rescue group now asks me what I think when they bring a new dog in. Yesterday they had a dog they thought was sharpei/spaniel. I think sharpei/akita. Yes, he is very strange-looking. :} Sharpei-shaped head, ears and size, akita coloring, tail, and fur. And they had a GSD mix pup who I don't believe is a mix. Her ears tip a little when she's relaxed, but other than that she is GSD from head to toe. Dogs are fun. :} PetsMart Pet Trainer My Kids, My Students, My Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/m...age/index.html Last updated June 27 at 10:00 a.m. |

I peeked before. ;-)
It really is hard to tell without seeing the dog move around and interact with her surroundings, because as you said, certain breeds have a partcular walk. Or sniff. Or carriage. Kenzie does look Rottish to me - I have seen small petite females rotties that bring her to mind. Does she "rumble" when she's happy? There's a dog at our dog park that has me stumped, but she's beautiful. There's certainly some sort of lab in there, as that is her basic shape. Her fur is two toned - reddish-gold close to the skin, and black on top. At first glance she appears to be a black dog, until the wind ruffles her fur, and the gold peeks through. Such a lovely effect! Her ears are more dobie like than lab, and her tail reminds me of a GSD, but the unique coloring remains throughout. However, she plays like a herding breed - short chases, heel nipping, some bitey-face and wrestling, but more fake-outs than other breeds do. She would be a genuine Shrug. There are probably so many dogs in there that there is not dominant breed. She is such a love, though! Dogs are definitely fun. -Shannon "Leah" -OFF wrote in message ...
