guess the breed
once again, it's time to play, "guess my breed"!
ok, Bear is a friend's dog. he came from a shelter in Indiana. he's a he (obviously), and that's about all we know for sure about him. :-) the following are my observations, to help with the game: he's a very nice dog. a bit aloof at first, but warms up quickly and enjoys a nice scratch behind the ears. isn't very interested in interacting with other dogs. he gives warning barks when strangers approach the house, but isn't a terribly vocal dog in general. he has a very thick double coat and sheds a LOT. the undercoat is very soft and downy. he has a black tongue, and holds his tail up and slightly over his back. he probably weighs about 50 pounds, and is a solidly medium sized dog. i'd guess about 20 inches at the shoulder. here are the pix: http://groups.msn.com/culprit/guess.msnw?albumlist=2. any guesses? |

The skin looks loose and forehead wrinkled; Asian breeds often look just like that so if there is no Akita, then there might be Chow. Half Chow, half Retriever? Or perhaps more than two breeds?

Half Chow, half Retriever? Or perhaps more than two breeds? I agree with Liisa--he looks like some very badly bred Akitas I've seen (size not withstanding). I can see smooth Chow x something as another possibility. OTOH, he reminds me of some Shar-Pei mixes I've seen. He's cute, whatever he is. -- -Abby Pems, Aussie, and a Pug ****Remove shoes to reply**** |
