Any guesses? Australian Terrier? (I looked in my daughter's British breed book but didn't feel like looking past the A's) -- Lynne |

Guess the Breed
Wrong place for it, but what the hell. Came across a rare breed dog today at the dog park. It looked to be only about 2 months old, but turned out to be a 5 months old. When I had originally read about the development of the breed, I wondered why it was necessary. Now that I've seen one, I want one too; it is as adorable as can be. The dog is UKC recognized, but not by the AKC, and according to the owner, this variety won't get to be more than 15 inches. Any guesses? Suja |

I think Australian Terriers are AKC recognized. They may be. In 1999 they weren't (I just checked the date of this book, hehe). So I take it this isn't a guard breed? So American, huh? I was under the impression that there aren't very many American breeds, just some hounds and pits. Oh wait. American Water Spaniel? -- Lynne |

There are a lot more North American breeds than just the six coonhound breeds (Plott, English, Bluetick, Redbone, Black & Tan, and Treeing Walker), the American Foxhound, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, and American Staffordshire Terriers. There are all the Fiests, Rat Terriers and the offshoot of Rats, the American Hairless Terrier. Boykin Spaniels, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrivers, Australian Shepherds (yes, they're a U.S. breed), English Shepherds (ditto), McNabs, Catahoula Leopard Dogs, Carolina Dogs, staghounds (although those are more of a type), Black Mouth, Treeing, and Stephens Curs, Boston Terriers, Alaskan Malamutes, Alaskan Klee Kais, American Eskimos.... I'm sure I've forgotten some. :-D In this case, my guess is that Suja's met a Mini Aussie, aka "North American Shepherd". |

American,15 inches, UKC but not AKC, suggests the Teddy Roosevelt terrier, or the Miniature Alaskan Klee Klai. Other possibilities (if the owner misstated the size) include the Rat Terrier, the (dog I hope not) American Hairless Terrier, or the Xoloitzcuintli (coated I hope). Any guesses? Suja |

I'm sure I've forgotten some. :-D I need to get my blonde roots dyed again or something. I knew about most of those. I can't believe I forgot about Catahoula Leopard Dogs since I think that is a very, very cool breed. I also can't believe I forgot about Eskies since we had one living here for several months that I found as a stray (he was rehomed with the help of Eskie rescue). May I say d'oh? I will also say that I counted Curs in with hounds, but that's not really accurate. They are very popular in these parts and we think Roxy is a Mountain or Kemmer Cur (or a mix). We met a breeder who brought that up about her, but who knows... I found it odd that "curs" are a breed, but she sure has the traits of one! So a mini Aussie, eh? She really should just tell us. Then we can talk her into one of Montana's puppies because that is what she really wants. -- Lynne |
