Best Mixed Breed you have owned.

This is probably the last photo I have of my Tyler-girl. She was my true heart dog. Love them shepherds, but this girl was IT. I had her for 14 years -- most of my adult life. She was there with me through thick and thin, moving, travels, etc. What an incredibly smart girl she was, and so even-tempered. I always said I could have put her in a room of toddlers and she would have made sure everyone was ok and behaving at once. Great instinct re: people, a wonderful watchdog, and a lover of people and the world. What a girl!
What was she? Maybe a little shepherd, a little lab, some beagle, and who knows what? She was a little guru about how to live one's life. We figure she's up in heaven arguing with the Greek philosophers right now. (*Whenever I put her in the fenced yard with the other dogs, she would get this look on her face like, "You are NOT putting me out here with the DOGS, are you?")

2 come to mind. Tar a Lab/GS cross I had as a teenager. Just a totally awesome dog in every way.

The other was a Pit Bull/ Beagle cross named Crowbar. A wonderful dog and very striking looking brindle.

I myself have never owned a mix breed, either has my family up until last year when my sister rescued a little pug, spitz and bulldogge mix named Senna.

She is the oddest looking dog I have seen but is the most gentle, loving, affectionate and intelligent dog we have ever owned. She picks things up so quickly it's crazy, even more so than our Shepherds. And she is FAST. Crazy and silly at times, but that could just be my sister's personality inbedded in her dog.. haha. They are quite the pair.

Here is Senna at her old home, the day my sister met her. It still breaks my heart to this day.





Here she is only a few months later with us. I think you can see the difference a little love and care can do to a dog.

The best mix I've ever owned is my chow/lab/newfoundland X, Jasper. It's hard to explain, but he is so loyal and lovable. I love this boy to death!

Honestly my best is my current dog Missy. The SPCA said she was aussie/gsd mix but I see more Aussie in her then anything else. Missy is truely my heartdog. She has been though so much with me and is always at my side. I suffered by myself with really bad depression after my sister died, she was the one who kept me going. I lived every day that year for Missy. I owe her so much to this day I belive that she has saved my life more then once.

the best mixed breed I owned was a golden/shepherd mix, got him from a petstore who sold puppies for locals, (many years ago)
I named him Satan (can't remember why, he was such a friendly dog but protective as well)..

I had my first car, a VW, and him, he would ride around in the front floor all curled up.

When I moved out of my parents home, I didn't take him with me, was by then, 12 years old and I felt the change wouldn't be good for him..I will never forget when he passed away. I had gotten my first GSD (out on my own), and would bring him to my parents house every day,,Satan had been in failing health, and one day he just looked at me and the thought came to mind he was saying "ok I can go now, she has a puppy to take over and I'm leaving her in good hands(

He was the best dog, still miss him

My best was Gunnar. I got him from the humane society. They said he was GSD/greyhound mix. He got so much attention as he was so unique looking and such a lover. He passed at 11yr. Dropped dead in the off leash park

Lucky, a mutt I found on the street when I was in fourth grade. She died October 2008 and approximately 17 or 18 years old (she was guessed to be 4 or so when I found her). I left her with my parents when I moved out, given her age at the time we didn't think it would be good for her to move to a 2nd floor apartment. I miss her everyday, she was my best friend growing up. She was probably a border collie or sheltie mix, something along those lines.

My best dog that Ive ever had would probably be a toss up of this Lab/Rottie mix puppy that I found wandering the neighborhood. ( Later, the owners claimed it ) He was such a cute puppy, and very smart at such a young age. But the dog I have now, George, my adopted Beagle, he is such a little clown. Hes about 7 years old, and very energetic at times. He sleeps most of the day, but I can always count on him to sleep on my feet anywhere I go in the house.

I love dogs.

My current dog is my best dog ever. Speedy is a toy poodle/pomeranian cross. He is great because he doesn't shed, he is small and goes camping and everywhere else with us, he is HAPPY and smiling ALL the time, he LOVES me and my kids. Speedy is loyal. He thinks he is a big, tough dog. His "job" is to bark at the door when anyone leaves. He is very serious about this, and if ANYONE goes downstairs towards the door, Speedy is up, going over to the top of the stairs and watching so that IF they open the door he can race down and attack the base of the door as it closes. He is quite fierce about it. And then he comes back upstairs wagging and smiling: "I did my job, Mommy!" (It did come in handy when my kids were little and tried to sneak out).

He is 11 years old and still has the zoomies every morning as his whole body wags to greet me and he races up and down the hall.

Here he is with a short cut. When we let it grow long, he looks very much like a Maltese.

"Mom? There is a baby in my bed..."


Happy boy just got a stuffed beaver for his birthday.
