What Kind of Dog Is That? - Page 2

My Belgian Malinois is usually identified as "Shepherd and what else?" by people.

That video reminds me of my terrier mix... People were always guessing different breeds. I usually just told people he was "mostly Rat Terrier" because Rat Terrier was the most recognizable in him. If I wanted to elaborate I'd say he might be part Jack Russell, or Boston Terrier, or some sort of bully breed. I talked to someone from Rat Terrier rescue once who said he could be a purebred Rat Terrier because not all the dogs are standardized and they sometimes get "throwbacks". He was a bit big and not really built right for a Rat Terrier though, his head and body were a lot wider. He also had an underbite and curly tail, who knows where that was from.
I've guessed or had people guess he was part Pug, Chihuahua, Fox Terrier, APBT, Staffy Bull Terrier, Shih Tzu(because of the curly tail), Australian Cattle Dog, Bulldog, etc...
I've had a few people insist he was a "pit bull" and act scared of him.

Awww! Look at that smile!!!

My cousin has what I'm almost positive is a purebred Rat Terrier. But people are ALWAYS arguing she is a Jack Russell Terrier or a Chihuahua. :/ I mean, we both agree there is a chance she could be mixed but she's not a purebred JRT or Chi.

This is the best picture I have of her ATM, her ears stand straight up normally. Lol!

People ask what my purebred working-line sable pup is mixed with.

Lol great video. I really love the roller bladed.

I have a friend that got a rescue dog. It's a pretty dog. kind of a red tan solid color 65 lb erect ears short coat. She was called a shepherd mix. I never even could put my finger on the breed. Well she did the DNA test for $150. She found out the 2 main breeders were akita and boxer and 15 other breeds some of them small. So basically all she found out was it is a mutt. It's kind of neat I guess if it is right.
