Best Mixed Breed you have owned.

There was a post on the board that the posted talked about the best mixed breed dog. So I thought it might make an interesting topic.

So what is the best mixed breed dog you have owned. To the best of your knowledge what were the breeds. What made this dog so special.

Tanya.
She was a GSD/Wolf X. I really can't describe what made her so special to me .... it would be a bunch of stories that wouldn't mean as much to others.

She was beautiful, intelligent like no other dog I knew, loyal yet a free spirit, protective, almost soulful.

I will never forget that heart dog, I couldn't if I wanted to because she is still a part of me.

OK, I will post one of my mixes from the past that was an awesome dog.

This was a pound puppy I got a about 16 weeks old. The was a St.Bernard - Lab mix as close as I could guess. Coat was a mix of the white and sable markings of the bernard with the shorter coat. The head was more like a lab. He topped out at a 165 lbs in his prime. He was kind to women, kids and any young animal (kittens and calves). He would have died to protect me. He would go find my hubby and grab him by the arm and bring him to me on command. He found a calf that wandered away from momma before we could take care of them. He let kittens hang from his ears, attack his tail and check out his teeth. He loved to ear corn on the cob. I have some photos I need to dig up and set my scanner up.

Can't wait to hear from the rest of you guys.

The Best: My coydog Wolf - smart as a whip, to this day I have not had a dog quite like him.

Most impressive in appearance, my malamute / shepherd mix Blaze. He was a black and white bear and nothing but muscle. I discovered he had a reputation around the 'hood which eventually led to him being stolen right out of my yard

Growing up we had a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix. She was mostly special because she was the only dog we ever owned as children! My dad has never been a real "pet" person.

She was not very cute - small head, big chest - but she was a sweetheart and the nicest dog you could ever want to meet. She also "loved" to be dressed up in clothing!!

I have a Pitt mix and he is one heck of a dog.
Someone moved and left him, took me 3 days to get him to follow me home. Hot dogs sealed the deal! He is my babysitter when the
grandkids come. Always lets me know when intruders show up. Loves to ride on the golf cart on the seat beside me, and always
ready to defend me.
If I could have 10 more like him you bet I would take them. LOL
Great old dog now, that was 11 years ago that I rescued him.
I just love Sport..

Bo was a true mutt though I'm sure he had a WGSD somewhere in his gene pool mix. He was a good dog, I really miss him. I adopted him when he was somewhere between 7 and 10 years old and lost him three years later to hemangiosarcoma of the spleen (emergency surgery found he was riddled with cancer in all his major organs and had to be put down while still on the table). He went to the Bridge November 28, 2005.
