We were told by the women at the pound that he was part Husky, but they were just guessing. He does have enough hair for two dogs, though. He's great with the chickens, the hens use him as a big soft foot warmer in the winter. I'll look out the window and there's Tino with a half a dozen hens sitting on him. I'll post a picture of it if I can find it. We found him online through petfinder.com. It's a listing of all the dog shelters around the country. We got him at the St. Cloud, MN pound. He was house broken, leash trained and neutered and he only cost $75. The only problem we've had besides his cat hatred is he's terrified of gunfire, thunder and fireworks. He's seems to be getting over that though, because today is the season opener for deer hunting and Tino is outside sleeping in the yard instead of hiding next to the couch in the house. He's also nice to the delivery people, UPS, Fedex and Speedee, which is a plus since he's so big. He's been a great dog. After our old dog died we started losing chickens every night to possums, so we had to find a good guard dog. We have some bantam OE crosses that insist on roosting in the crab apple tree next to our bedroom window. The possums started taking them one right after another until we got Tino.
