    Apparently she's definitely got GSD in her, and Staffy, and Daschund, and Jack Russell, and Labrador. (Here she is if anyone wants to see what a GSD/Staff/Dax/JR/Lab cross looks like :rotfl:)


    She's really cute! I was going to say a dash of heeler in her...but I don't want to confuse matters any further :D

  • Awww lovely doggies :D

    Welshwoofs, I'd love a dog like yours he's gorgeous give him cuddles for me :D My SIL has a bull mastiff but he's no where near as cute as your dog.

    I love dogs.

    I can't remember who has a horse but what's wrong with having a old horse proves you've looked after it well enough for it to live that long. I'd love a horse too lol.

    Actually infact I would love at least 1 of every animal in the world lol :D

    Everyone give your pets cuddles for me

    People always ask what kind of dog I have - the rescue guessed she's a spaniel/terrier mix, but Heinz 57 is probably a closer bet. Anyway, when I say I'm not sure what she is, I get all sorts of opinions. Apparently she's definitely got GSD in her, and Staffy, and Daschund, and Jack Russell, and Labrador. (Here she is if anyone wants to see what a GSD/Staff/Dax/JR/Lab cross looks like !

    She is beautiful.

    And after saying I don't have a clue what she is, people ask how big she'll get - how am I supposed to know?!

    Facially she looks a bit like ours and she's a Patterdale Terrier cross Springer Spaniel. She's mad as a box of frogs but an amazing dog and I wouldn't be without her.

    Unfortunately she has a habit of doing a bunk so we tend to walk her on a lead and with a Haltee on. Sadly people seem to think this is a muzzle so we get asked if she is nasty quite often.

    No - That is definately a LuvHund ! Shows all the characteristics of the breed. No other recognisable breed markings, no size too small (or big), average coat, average size paws huge capacity for affection - and the biggest marker.........those melting eyes - just begging for some Luv!:)
  • We get it all the time with ours," HE'S a big boy" nope SHES a big girl lol lol! The worse ones are as soon as we mention 'we've got a German shepherd" we either get that 'your dogs a brute' look or " i know someone that was attacked by a German shepherd"
    I can remember posting on a pet forum website a photo of our girl from when we got her from the breeder,like you do with puppies. And one bloke copied and pasted the picture and started a thread on how disgusting my dog was, because of the way she was bred she has a sloped back which meant absolutely nothing at the time we got her we love her regardless but I was so absolutely devastated that someone used the actual photo of her to rip into the breed. He them proceeded to PM me saying my dog with suffer from hip problems and I should be ashamed of myself etc.
    Bottom line I picked her because I love her so, I couldnt give 2 hoots if she had no legs, we will do everything we can to ensure she is looked after into an old age. This really really shook me up and upset me.
