    Yeah I think collie but not jack Russell because she's huge! Like 10kg at 13 weeks! I think spaniel? Collie spaniel but those ears haha

    If it's 10kg at 13 weeks I'd be thinking bigger than a collie or spaniel

    Clearly some sort of hybrid bat :pac:
    But he is simply gorgeous.

    I'm looking at his head and without the ears he's making me think pointer? And the black and white colouring with big, perched ears could be collie!

    Could she be a collie mixed with some kind of Pit? She looks like she has a wide head and short snout.

    I am firmly invested in seeing this pupper as a grown up if he turns out to be a pit with bat ears :D

    What's the puppy's tail like when she is acting 'neutral' (i.e. not excited, not scared, etc)? Does it curl over her back like an Akita? Does it sit straight down to the floor like a German Shepherd? Something else? Photos help!

    Gorgeous little dog, really hard to say what she is mixed with, but I can't help but think there may be a bit of an Akita in there, the square muzzle, ears, solid boned legs from the photos.

    That's one cute, big puppy. Looks to me almost like a terrier X Bull Breed of some description. Could be anything Mommy or daddy could have been mixed breeds, would love to see what she grows into..

    This is a border collie x terrier

    Or Corgi x collie

    That dog is very solid built to be a collie cross. I can definitely see Akita there, big paws, heavy bone, there is also a bit of an English pointer look about him.

    Lovely puppy!

    Akita was the first thing I thought. His head looks a lot like an akita head with different ears.

    Yes someone from the shelter mentioned Akita I think so too but her tail doesn't curl up it just kinda has a Little Flick at the end haha

    You know, after all this, you're going to be required to post photos of her as she matures... :pac: It'll be easier to distinguish the different possible breeds in a more mature dog as well... :D

    Don't worry I will keep you all updated! Thanks everyone for input.. I've done some googling and I think you's cracked it... Akita pointer cross?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 owl chick


    i see akita in there too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,277 ✭✭✭aonb


    Those ears are hilarious :D She will hopefully "grow into" them :D
    Another vote for pointer x - will be interesting to see how she turns out - are her siblings similar OP?

    After looking at her shoulders in the first pic I googled Boston Terrier Staffy cross and some of the images look similar, then again others don't!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,991 ✭✭✭jimf


    im seeing pointer as well especially as you say slight tail turn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭cruais


    beautiful dog.

    To me, he looks like a collie x bull terrier (i'm thinking staff)

    It's hard to know, very stocky little head though and very firm paws. I imagine one of this ladies parents were a cross of some sort, if not both. I've never seen anything of the likes, fabulous none the less!
