She has the herding instinct of a border collie, but def. not the attention span.
We've had many guesses as to what her mix could be, but after experiencing her personality and behavioural traits, I'm pretty sure she's got some whippet/coursing breed in her because she absolutely lives to run,
and I mean run.
I take her to dog parks and when she's off leash, she 'courses'. There's no other word for it! Full speed, faster then any dogs at the park, she runs circles around them, we've even had play with whippets and she seems to out run them too (mixed breed stamina like a pro!). When you see her standing also, she has the musculature of a whippet in her haunches and the tummy tuck behind a deep ribcage.
But you know it's all guesses! I've had all kinds of other comments from people too (other than total admiration and love for her cuteness!). Guesses as to her mix have been, but are not limited to breeds like: Boston Terrier, Jack Russell, Boxer mix, Pit Bull (usually from people who stand about 10 feet away and ask 'is she friendly'...ridiculous), Staffy, Lab, miniature pinscher mix, English Bull Terrier...
No matter what she is, she is well loved and has a beautiful personality, one of the most trust worthy dogs around people and other dogs I have ever owned! Still very much a pup, but every day she is growing into a more beautiful mature dog.
Oh, and not spoiled at all
LOL!!
She only has TWO crates (trying to train out of separation anxiety...) I have a treat fanny pack just for her walks, she has a jacket for the cold Canadian winters (which she is still not used to after only one year coming from Louisiana...), she is fed only holistic human grade dog food and treats and she gets multiple walks/obedience sessions each day! Not spoiled at all... and I haven't even mentioned her chew toys, kongs and other toys... ha ha! Oh and she has her own little doggy back pack for hiking
which she loves and gets excited when she sees because it means
long walkies!!
***BIG SIGH*** OH!! what we do for the love of our animals!!
Wouldn't trade her in for any purebred dog in the world!
Gotta love our heinz57, purebred mutt, mix breed wonder dog.
