Default Re: Best Mixed Breed you have owned.

Boog aka Beauregard Bear Jackson is pretty awesome, an old soul, a sincere being, ball crazy, oddly talented, who gets along with everyone at all times. He is incredibly intelligent and communicates with me so very well. He is the finder of all things I am looking for and must be psychic. GSD/Newfoundland mix. Age 2

Bobo was pretty awesome as well. He lived to be 15 and has been gone a long time, but he was a ChowChow/Siberian Husky mix. He was Momma's boy, but loved our girls as well. He was definately a ladies man.
Very old photo of Bobo. He was a rescue.

Such cute dogs! My sister has a GSD/Black Lab mix and I love him! The intelligence of the GSD and the "love me, love me" of the lab.

Default Chelsey - Great Pyrenees/Mountain Cur mix

I found Chelsey on petfinder.com.

I miss Chelsey so much. She was a Great Pyrenees/Mountain Cur mix.
Chelsey didn't get along well with other dogs.. The vet labelled her a liability, saying if she "attacked" other dogs, she might attack a child(the thing is, she loved people, everyone she met was her new best friend. she just didn't like other dogs). She would growl and never bite(at the other dogs in the house. She was never really socialized with other dogs, besides the family pets). However, when I got Minnie,(my 10 pound miniature dachshund mix) Chelsey didn't know who this new puppy was, and what she was doing in her home, so she chased Minnie under the coffee table. I pulled Chelsey away, looked Minnie over, and she had one small puncture mark on her side. That's when the vet said I needed to have Chelsey put to sleep. (and btw, Minnie's doing great, she didn't need stitches, just took a week to fully heal)
One main reason Chelsey had to be put to sleep, was because she was also labeled "unpredictable". Most of the time she was fine with other dogs, however, occasionally she would growl at one of the other dogs.

She was loyal, affectionate, caring, there for me when I needed someone to talk to, she would sit there with me while I cried; she was my best friend.
I'd take her for walks and think about the day ahead. I'd joke that Chelsey was my muse, because I thought of many different story ideas on those walks.

She gave me the best 2 years of my life. And I'll never forget her.
Chelsey- R.I.P. (April 2007 - August 6, 2009)

My favorite mixed breed dog was my collie/shepherd Gemini. She was truly my treasure and saved my life one day. Have any of you ever had a dog that was "your" dog. She had the black and tan markings of a shepherd but ears that didn't stand up all the way and the longer snout of a collie. I asked my husband if I could get a dog and he said a small dog with short hair would be nice. Well, when she was 8 weeks old she had short hair and was small - except for her enormous feet. She loved people and children and babysat and protected my kids. She followed me and went with me everywhere. She slept by my side for 13 years. She guarded her family with the heart of a lion but would turn it off with a word from me. I had a good friend comment "How can you stand all the dog hair?" I told him if he didn't like it - don't come to my house. One day Gemini and I were walking on a cross country trail, miles from anyone, when a notorious town scumbag appeared on the path. I hooked her to her leash and she immediately started to tell this scumbag that if he came near me she would rip his throat out. I just held her leash and let her deliver the message. He headed the other way and we ran 2 miles to a pay phone. Gemini got an extra dose of lovin' and a steak for supper. 2 days later, this scumbag took the town clerk hostage at gunpoint and ended up getting shot by the State Police. This dog set the standard by which I shall judge all dogs in my life. She's been at the bridge waiting for me for 25 years and I still miss her, she took a big piece of my heart with her.

My favorite mixed breed is my rescue boy Tye. He is a Pit Bull/Lab mix that I pulled out of the kill shelter the day before they were going to put him down. He was estimated at being 1 1/2-2 years old. I've had him since 2004, and he has been such an awesome boy!!! Fits in perfectly with my GSD's, and my cats. He is a gorgeous brindle color, and is very sweet and loving, but also can be very protective of me and his home/property. He is the best, and I love him dearly!!! I couldn't have asked for a better mixed breed than my Tye :-)

My best mixed breeds were Max & Simba.They were brother & sister.They were a Sheltland Sheepdog mix.

Max(Left) & Simba(Right):


They were the sweetest and most beautiful dogs.Simba was a beauty queen.Every male dog wanted her!lol.Max was a big baby, but when it came to his sister,Simba, he was very protective.Simba somehow magically was ab to get outside the gate without being open or anything, and my dad would find her laying on the porch the next morning.I remember on Christmas Eve, my family and I were out doing our Christmas traditions and we came home, thenon Christmas day I got up and my mom told me they had got out.I was so upset, but then around 4pm that day we got a call from SEACCA saying they found our dogs.Our dogs ended up at a Wal-Mart in Paramount.Some customers saw the dogs and thought they were scary looking and call the police.The police noticed they had ID tags on them and calld the number on it.lol.So now my family and I joke about it saying they were doing late Christmas shopping.lol.
Max & Simba both passed away at the age of 14, I was 15.Simba passed away of old age, and Max was put to sleep because of a tumor in his throat.

Now we have Molly(GSD Mix), her dad was full GSD and her mom was half GSD & half something else.We got Molly from my sister's friend's neighbor who had 2 GSDs who had an "oops" litter.We fell in love with Molly he moment we saw her.Tanner(GSD Mix), we got him at a shelter.My parents, brother and I were at a shelter just looking at dogs, we were thinking about getting Molly a playmate.Well my brothr and I saw Tanner on Petfinder.com.So we went to the shelter and my brother wandered away from my parents and I.About 10 minutes later we hear the intercom say "Will Mr. & Mrs. McLeod please come to the front desk your son is waiting."We think "Oh god what did he do now"We go to te front desk and there is my brother and Tanner ready to go.Tanner gave us his paw and that did it!lol.I volunteer at that shelter now, and I constantly ask my parents about getting another dog.Some many have won my heart.lol.The weird thing is that Molly was born exactly 6 days after Simba passed away.O.o lol

Molly(Left) & Tanner(Right):



I made a video of Molly & Tanner and another video of Max & Simba here are the links please enjoy:

Max & Simba video:


Molly & Tanner video:


We have always had mixes.They are actually some o the best dogs.lol.I seriously don't know what I would do without dogs in my life.

I've had a few mixed breeds that still own chunks of my heart. One was Jamie, a great dane lab mix...we had her from 5 weeks (dumped at a shelter!) until nearly 13yrs..an awesome age for a dane mix. Beautiful black with white markings, Jamie was chief babysitter to my 3 kids, sometimes doubled as a saddle horse for the younger ones, puller of the sled through deep snow with kids screaming in delight behind her, and the most tenacious food-hound/garbage eater I have ever owned. We lost her to cancer and miss her every day.
Currently we have Tori, a rottie/lab mix who I truly believe is Jamie reincarnated. Not too long after we lost Jamie, my kids started asking about a new dog. I told them "God will send us a dog who needs us". 9 weeks to the day after Jamie died, Tori was born. Tori's litter was given up at the animal hospital where I work (bitch had died, owner couldn't bottle feed the litter of 5). Here was the dog God sent to us: Tori was the runt of the litter and I took her home at not quite 24 hours of age. The kids & I bottle raised her from that day on...she fit into our home like she had always been there. She's now 6 years old, 80 pounds of black & tan beauty, just recently registered with the AKC, and will be in the AKC Obedience ring in April. She exhibits hundreds of mannerisms that are so like my Jamie it makes me catch my breath, including an almost insane love of any "baby" we bring home to foster: kitten, puppy, squirrel, bird, rabbit, etc. She is CGC and therapy dog certified and has an instinctive ability to "size up" folks in hospitals and nursing homes to provide just the right amount of love & attention without frightening or jostling the folks. I can't wait to see what the next several years bring with her!

The family dog Kota. She is 12 years old now. Siberian Husky/GSD mix with cream, white and this red/orange color she is stunning! When she is in the sunlight she is like no other dog I've ever seen. We cant go anywhere with her without hearing from people about how beautiful she is. She prances around the house with her head up and her tail curled. She is the smartest dog I've ever had the pleasure to be around. When she was a puppy she would unlock her crate while she was in it and get out and unlock the other dogs crate. She opens doorknobs, shuts doors. She climbs ladders (not always a good thing, she ended up on the roof a couple of times) We had an acre 1/2 of land and no fence and she never once tried to leave the yard. She was always really careful around puppies and babies, followed them around like a babysitter. She never pulled on the leash, never had a potty mistake, I kid you not it was like she was completely trained when we got her. She was 11 weeks old when we brought her home. She would bring her dish to you when she was hungry or thirsty. She loved our outside cats but hated all of the other outside cats and she would protect and defend ours and chase the others out of the yard. She picks garbage up off the floor and brings it to you to throw away. OMG she is so fast!!!!! Incredible even at 12!!! She loves to run, she is very healthy. The Vet said that she is one of the healthiest 12 year old dogs she had ever seen. We just love her to death, she is a member of the family, like my little sister. When she passes we will be heartbroken
