What kind of dog is this?

[Zen]

Some lab, I'm sure, but enlarge the photos. Something about it looks like a bear, something about it looks like a cat.

Catlabbear :confused: :eek: :p

where's the photo????????????????

[kelownagirl]

Wow, I don't know but I love her fur and her colouring!

Edit: Hmm, the picture's not here but i is on the other link. Didja post it twice Zen???

[KnottedYet]

Oh yeah, there's some newfie in that baby!

Ohhhhh.... She's gorgeous. I want a big dog. [sniff, sniff] I just can't right now because I don't think it's right to squeeze larger dogs into an apartment. They should have a yard to play in!

Please, someone adopt her. I can't bare the thought of the poor gal being put down because she couldn't find a home. Then again, how could anyone turn down a face like that. She does look so sweet.

Wahhhhh!!! I wanna take her home! [sigh] I guess it's a good thing that she's on the other side of the country or I be way too tempted to bring her home (even with my big dog + room enough to run around rule).

actually...big dogs can do really well in apartments...they often have less indoor energy...they need long walks and dog parks, but lots of them are couch potatoes....my papillons (7 lbs each) are always on the move; my collie snoozes. Greyhounds...run for 1/2 hour, sleep 23.5....

[lph]

aaawww, how could anyone not love a sweet face like that... what a smile!

Definitely Newfoundland, like the link now says.

[Dogmama]

I do see Newfie, but I also see a touch of Golden Retriever in the face and probably Labrador. Looks like a puppy - 6-9 months old?? Who ever gets this dog will certainly take home a sweetie. If she (he?) is Newfie/Lab/Golden, she will love to swim, be good around kids & small dogs and affectionate.

Right. Depending on the breed. Some Mastiffs consider walking across the living room from the couch to the chair to be aerobic!

[lph]

Right - I've been told Great Danes actually are good "old-lady dogs" as they need a lot of rest and are quite happy stalking around in a dignified and leisurely manner on walks :D

(I've always liked Great Danes).

[GLC1968]

I agree about big dogs in apartments! It's totally do able depending both on the breed and on the commitment of the owner.

I had a shephard/dobie mix for 12 years who went from apartment to apartment with me. It was wonderful because it forced me to be out and active on a regular basis because she needed it. Walks, runs, dog parks (in her younger days), you name it!

In fact, when I finally got married and bought a house with a yard, she had no interest in it. She just wanted to be where I was, even if it was watching football. :D

I had a Mastiff AND a Newfie/Bernese mix, and they both were big, lazy loofs. Whether I was in a big house or a 1-bedroom apartment, they didn't care. The Newfie just slept in a corner of a closet, and the Mastiff just stayed right under my feet. Long walks, yeah, but happiest just being snuggled near me.

Jeez, I miss them both.

[Beane]

based on the brindle coloring, i would say there is some mastiff/bullmastiff/dane mixed in. cute!

[SadieKate]

Hey guys! It says right next to the photo that it is a Newfie/Plott mix.

The Plott is newly recognized by the AKC but as it is one of the coonhounds there is no way I'd coop it up in an apartment. They love to tree animals and bay.

http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/plotthound.htm

They are very handsome dogs. I'm not the type that could deal with the coon hound personality. :eek: Just not me.:rolleyes:

[Brandi]

awwwww! What a great face! And such a pretty dog. Unusual too. Are you thinking about adopting this dog?

[ibcycling]

Their guess is Newfie/Plotthound but the description says they really don't know. I don't see the Plott in her but Newfie is a definite yes.

I have a Dane and he loves to laze around indoors. He also takes a daily run around the yard and do goofy Dane moves. He's not the most graceful of dogs but very much the clown! Right now he's snoring on the couch. LOL

Is that a cat in the lower right corner, making a comment on the dane's sleeping:p :p :p

Yeah...the baying could get obnoxious but hounds are so mellow! Still, I seriously doubt its Plott Hound in there....more mastiff/pitbull I'd bet...
She's terrific looking either way!

[7rider]

I think she's a Heinz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._J._Heinz_Company).....as in "57 Varieties"! :p

She is a cutie, and I must stay off that PetFinder site as much as possible, because I want to take them ALL home!

[Zen]

If she's at the adoption event I do believe I'll have a look at her. I think she's intriguing and Heinz Hounds are absolutely the best.

Doggie Porn! :o

[Mr. Bloom]

Hmmm...to me, she looks like Angela Rogers, my first girlfriend.

Of course, this is before she lost her front teeth in 1st grade.

[Mr. Bloom]

I just looked again....
- Hair color - CHECK
- Eyes - CHECK
- Droopy Tongue - CHECK
- The way she holds her wrist when she walks - CHECK

YEP, IT'S ANGELA;)

Isn't it funny how we can sometimes see the resemblence to people in animals that seem to have personality???

[lph]

aaawwww, now I want a great dane even more... :p

yep, that's gotta be a cat in the bottom righthand corner, and I'll bet the coffee I'm drinking that it's saying something snarky about the dog :D

[ibcycling]

Ah yes. The cat would be miss Gina who likes to supervise the dogs and swat at them as they pass by. She's a lovely shelter kitty who was on death row because the vet said she was preggers. Funny thing is she never did have those kittens and has never come into heat. Needless to say I didn't use the same vet the shelter did! Scary when a vet can't tell the difference between a pregnant cat and a spayed one!!! :eek: I need to get some good pics of her.

Here's my favorite Tiger the Dane pic. It shows off his personality perfectly.

How in the world do you spend time on those rescue sites without either becoming seriously depressed or adopting hundreds of dogs? I already have four--three big ones and a medium-sized one. We have the space, so it works. My favorite of the four is the Doberman cross--she's smart, very obedient, and beautfully athletic (the best frisbee dog ever!). My husband is partial to border collies. Bonnie is amazing indoors--she just lies somewhere out of the way and watches our every move. But she wouldn't make it in an apartment. Her good behavior is dependent on her getting enough exercise (mostly herding the other dogs). My kids' favorite is the lab cross.

I've always wanted greyhounds, but we can't have dogs indoors anymore (son's allergies). If I'm ever looking again, I'll probably go for another Doberman or doberman cross--or maybe a pointer. Unless I get stuck with more border collies, of course.

I can't afford the vet bills that come with ownership so for now I'm a foster parent. If I should find myself in a more favorable financial situation I'll consider a permanent resident but for now I'm glad to provide a temporary alternative to a stressful kennel until someone adopts http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb14/zencentury/RoxieWellBehaved.jpgMinnie Yipperton.

[KnottedYet]

has Minnie calmed down at all?

(dang, she's cute...)

[Zen]

Thankfully yes :p , she has calmed down some.

She's a funny dog. Lucy was good at sleeping in the crate but this one hates it so I've caved and she sleeps on the bed.

But she doesn't sleep on the bed, she noses under the covers and sleeps down around my feet. To watch her travel under the covers is like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Vet bills and pet food. I can't believe how much we spend on the animals! Right now I'm dealing with a paralized cat (the general consensus is that someone hit or kicked him really hard). Thankfully my vet likes me. She's only charging me for the shots, not the visits. I can't imagine what the costs would be Stateside.

I'm impressed that you foster dogs. It must be sad to see them go, though.

[newfsmith]

Just look at my Alice and you can see the family resemblence. http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=171368594/a=87559563_87559563/PictureID=3728384962/t_=87559563

Alice is so cute! Awwww, I just love newfie faces! We had a newfie mix once, and she had the same loveable face.
