Does anyone know what she is?

moonbaby4885 · 09-09-2004, 09:33 PM

This is my new dog Maggie...we got her from the animal shelter wed. and we don't know what type/types of dog she is. Does anyone know what she could be?

Global Paw · 09-09-2004, 09:34 PM

she looks great.

For some reason, my first thought was collie mix...but I'm really not sure.

PitBullie09 · 09-09-2004, 09:34 PM

Welsh Corgi/ Golden Retriever maybe?

sheltiepups · 09-09-2004, 09:35 PM

I was going to say sheltie mix, from the face... but I don't know

she's a doll!

Pugdawg1 · 09-09-2004, 09:35 PM

Shes CUTE that's what she is

Maybe golden retriever/shepherd?

TinyAlbinoDancer · 09-09-2004, 09:37 PM

Quincy- that first pic on the right does make her look a bit like a Collie, but I think it's just her ears... I think she looks like she's got some Chow and Golden Retriever in her.

She looks 100% soft and fluffy (read: huggable) to me!

mmm, yes, I see it now.

could there be some golden in her?

***Carrie*** · 09-09-2004, 09:53 PM

She's adorable and smiley. It's hard to guess what she could have in her. She could be a mix from a mix from a mix. I see how she could look like Sheltie, maybe a little Poodle in her???? Something yellow....Lab, Golden? It's hard to see in the picture, but do you think her feet are inproportionately large for her body? Does she have any black marks on her tongue? (like a Chow?) Hard to figure. Maybe your vet could give you a good guess.

Anyhow, what fun to have a new puppy. Enjoy....they grow up so fast. She is a cute little fluff ball.

moonbaby4885 · 09-09-2004, 09:55 PM

Yea she does have a few black spots on her tongue...so there must be a bit of chow. Thanx for all of the incite

Rip's Girl · 09-10-2004, 12:21 AM

Heh, I see some Border Collie, personally. Could be sheltie, though. I see a bit of chow and golden in there as well..

Darling pup!

In my shelter work I have had so many people refuse to adopt a puppy/dog because of this myth that all dogs with spotted tongues must have some chow in them. The chow has gotten a bad rep lately for being unpredictable when they get older. Just beacuse there are black spots on the tongue does not imeadiately point to chow. There are several breeds that can turn up with a spotted tongue. The most common are labs of all colors, most retrievers and some others.

I was thinking chow/retriever.

The chow thing...at my childhood home...the neighbors chow mauled our little pygmy goat. It was a terrible thing to see! I know the "blame the breed" thing comes into play here. But I trust chows less than pits. Locally I've heard of more chow bites than any other dog. Actually...why don't dalmations have a bad rep?? They do a lot of biting too! My husband was bit in the face my a dalmation when he was a paper boy. I have another friend that was bitten by a dalmation also.

Sorry that's off subject!

moonbaby4885 · 09-10-2004, 08:09 AM

We used to have a pit. He was harmless...he wouldn't hurt a fly. I know that doesn't apply to all pits. Dalmations on the other hand...my little sister was bit in the face by one.

I don't disagree with the bad name that Chows have lately. My sister-in-law was bit in the face by a Chow she had known all of its life. But just because a dog has black/purple on it's tongue does NOT mean that it is a Chow.

True... could be a sharpei! lol
