Hi all,
I know that there's no way that you can ID the breeds that went into the making of a mutt just by eyeballing it, but I find this kind of thing fun so I thought I'd make a thread of it after what happened at this morning's farmer's market.
There I was, shopping and chatting with neighbors, when I saw a dog that had a lot of the same qualities as my Marla, who I have previously decided might be a German Shepherd/Doberman mix. But I know this might not be the case...I see a lot of possibilities in her. Maybe Australian Shepherd instead of German, maybe some lab, maybe not some lab...who knows? But the dog I saw at the market, when I asked his owner what it was, he said it was a wolf hybrid. That had me sort of stunned, because a part of me has always wondered if my Marla is a bit wolfy. Anyway, here's a link to an album of pictures I took of her today. What do you guys think? I don't know if this helps, but Marla is between 50 and 60 lbs, 2.5 years old, and she was born with double dew claws on both back legs.
Also, pardon the state of my backyard in those pictures. We've had zero time to dedicate to it this summer and it's a jungle!
