What type of breed is your dog?

Here's my boy.His name is Orion.He turned 5 January 29.He's a Gordon setter and just a pile of trouble and affection.

I'm training my dogs to be a dog sled team. I've got a rat terrier, a pomeranian, a dachshund, and a sheep dog so far. I've been having to use my cats as stand-ins for training purposes, but that has not worked out so well. Only the terrier and dachshund are mine, the other two are my brothers dogs, whom I am babysitting until he gets moved in to his new house. Did I mention there is snow where I live?

I have a German shepherd corgi mix named Mulder. Head and tail of a shepherd, but only like a foot and a half tall.

And a black lab/mastiff named Thelma. Her head is freaking huge. Both are rescue dogs.

My current dog Shadow, Alaskan Malamute. He thinks he is a lapdog but at 50 Kilos is a bit big for the role.

P

I have a Minnie Boston Terrier that weighs 10 lbs. named Betty Boop.
Can't find my pic of her.

I have 4 babies.

Miss Pixie the pug.

Lady Sabrina the Sheba Inu.

Mr. Bean the boston terrier
And
Buster the Stonehenge Victorian bulldog.

Mornin',

I have a Bijon/Maltese named Binary but he wasn't always.
He was originally named "Baby" by his owner's daughter back in 2002.
At the time, 9-11 was still fresh and I visited the neighbor for afternoon libation.
We always told silly jokes and lambasted everything we heard from the TV in the background.
One day we were both kvetching about being broke when CNN (I am ashamed to say I used to watch it back then) played a story claiming that the US Government had posted a 20 million dollar bounty on Bin Laden's head.
I said:

"For 20 mil, I say we just put a beard on the dog and give him an AK-74 and just sell him to the states saying: Here he is...so, where's my money?"

Baby immediately became "Bin, Scourge of the Middle East".
Everytime another story about the elusive Bin Laden came out, Jo-Jo and I would go into our shtick:

Jo-Jo: "Here he is now where's my money?"
Me as FBI: "Uhhhh...ma'am, that's a dog."
Jo-Jo: "C'MON...IT'S JUST A DISGUISE!!! ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME THAT A DOG THIS SMALL WITH A BEARD AND A TURBAN TRYING TO DRAG AN ASSAULT RIFLE THAT WEIGHS MORE THAN HE DOES THROUGH AN AIRPORT METAL DETECTOR DOESN'T SET OFF ANY ALARMS WITH YOU PEOPLE!?! Where's my money?"
Me as FBI: "Ma'am that beard doesn't even match the color of the dogs fur."
Jo-Jo: "BUT HE'S GOT A KIDNEY DYALISIS MACHINE!?! HELLO!?! PAGING DOCTOR OBVIOUS: Where's my money?"

This would go on for hours...
Thusly did Baby become Bin.
But eventually my friend's got divorced and decided to fight over everything but the dog.
It was a bad time for everyone.
To make a long story short...I took Bin.
He is absolutely adorable.
Impecably trained.
A joy to be around.
As cute as they come.
About the size of a small cat.
Everyone who passes him either watches him play or comments and unwittingly I would tell them:

Curious Person: "He's sooo cute...what's his name?"
Me: "That's Bin."
Curious Person: "As in laundry bin? I'll bet he gets in there all the time."
Me: "No, Bin as in Bin Laden the Terrorist."
Curious Person: "What th' @#$% is wrong with you!?!"

The ending sometimes varied but usually had the same outcome.
Then one day, I was asked by a rather cute lookin' dog-lover what my puppies name was.

"I call him Bin..."

And then I froze...knowing what was about to come next.
I hadda think of something fast.
It came out of my mouth before I even realized I had said it.

"...short for Binary...because he's so, y'know...small?"

Thusly did Bin become "Binary".
Sorta.
It doesn't really matter what I call him...he never stops following me.

-Peace or "Woof"...I forget which one is more applicable here-

Got a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross bred with a Hungarian Vizsla!!!

Picture is in my avatar
Couple more :





His name is Ghost!!!



BTW, Tinker is very nice


Peace Captain!!!

These two buggers are Sonny and Chichi, Sonny being the big one (big dog in Bronx Tale)
He's a pit mix, his snout isn't as long as a pitbull's, I met his mom (rednose pit) but have no clue what his dad was.
Chichi is a chihuahua.

I have a sprollie,( half collie half springer.) Had him 6 months now from a rescue home. Bit mad at first but boy oh boy has he melted our hearts. It's the loving eyes and the laughing mouth. The tricks he gets up to like bringing me a sock when he wants to go out. My best buddy.

I'd guess he is crossed with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Looks like my old dog Trouble, even the Brindle coat!!!


Peace Mike!!!

I've been thinking the same thing about him, but he's got an underbite...does that make a difference?


80lbs of hugs and love

Sonny is a very handsome fella.

He looks more Staffordshire than Pit Bull Terrier. I wonder if that is an effect of the cross breeding?

I love brindle coats. On a pit my favorite is the albino (white coat/pink nose/green eyes), but the brindle is just a gorgeous mottled characteristic.

Bear...Great Pyrenees.



But, don't tell him he's a dog. He thinks he's a goat...

he looks ecstatic to have the hat on. LOL.

My little doxy/pit mix is named Sasha (my son named her after an inside family joke). She won't wear anything. Nothing. You put something on her and she just drops in place, refusing to participate in life until you take whatever hellish item off of her.

We tried to make her wear a collar once. We took it off after a few hours when she started shaking and running fever. No kidding. Fat little prima donna that she is.

a reply to: mikeone718

I have seen Staffs with a slight underbite, but now you mention it maybe a Bulldog cross breed!

It doesn't matter much cos he is beautiful anyways


Peace Mike!!!
