The best mixed dog we had was Jake. We "inherited" him from my uncle. He got Jake from my aunt in Maine. We were watching Jake for my uncle for 2 weeks while they moved into their new home, but his wife ended up not wanting him back. When we took him home he was 7. He was an excellent dog. He would stay in our yard and play with us for hours. I remember as a kid (11ish?) I would play "circus" with him, have him jump over our picnic table benchs, jump through hula hoops, etc. Now I look back, and I'm like "wow, that dog did alot!" He was a mix of Shepherd/Lab and we think some chow. He had shepherd markings, but was a lab body, and had some funny fur around his collar like a chow does, and had a purple-ish tounge. He was just so loyal, friendly with strangers, he'd come when called and would stay in our yard. He was just awesome. Sadly we had to put him down at age 15 in 2003. I miss him alot still!!
