I don't actually think I have one . I adore Meg and she is the perfect dog for me, but from my understanding, she doesn't act like a typical Mountain Cur. I would never go out looking for one, even with this great experience with the breed under my belt. A typical Mt. Cur would be a horrible dog for me; it just so happened an individual of the breed was the right dog.

There are several herding and sighthound breeds that I am very fond of, and may own eventually. But for me, it's a matter of tracking down the right dog, breed be dam*ed.

I love all sorts of breeds and all sorts of dogs from different breeds- Ibizans and shelties are my favorite, but papillons as a whole breed are my favorites. They're just such great personalities.

The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is and forever will be my favourite.

I also love the Australian Shepherd, Belgian Shepherds, and Kooikerhondje. One of those breeds will be my next dog if I don't end up keeping one of Dance's pups.

I know for a fact he is half Springer Spaniel. Not that you can see it. And if you saw his mother.. haha. None of the puppies look anything like her. She's a BYBred, undersized, fluffy little thing. Same personality, though--she radiates sweetness.

In looks, except for his muzzle, he takes after his dad. His dad is a mutt... definitely not of any particular breed.

Some of the guesses I've had have been "pit bull" (to which I of course explain that's not a breed and ask them if they mean American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, etc.. ), Amstaff or APBT (I bet he's got some in there somewhere.. there's just a little bit too much likeness in his face), Labrador, and some breed of Hound.

I doubt Lab unless the lab (which would have to be a grandparent, if not farther back) it's a field Lab. I'm thinking a type of Hound would be likely, no idea which. He has a natural "point" thing (you know, the foot thing and the raised tail?) but I don't know how common that is.

I totally see pointer! Having been around quite a few pointers and looking at your other pictures posted that is my bet. There is obviously another breed in there, but that head and some of the body just really reminds me of a field bred pointer...

Well when I look at his head it screams lab to me with the exception of his stop which looks more pronounced then that of the average lab. That makes me think Rottie. Also rottie because of the shape of his head that you can see in the front head picture.

He's a cutie no matter what he is though!

My breed guess would be Dane/Rott/Lab I see the Dane very prominently in his side profile...shape of muzzle. His head and eyes scream rott to me! I think the rotty also comes out in his body making him look like a bulkier lab. The lab takes over everything else. That's crazy I see NO springer Spaniel at all! I could see a little pointer in thought.

LOL this is why this is so hard. He looks a lot like some CKC/AKC reg labs, (minus the white) His head is pretty much lab. And he looks very very lab like in body structure. (to heavy for a typical field lab, but perfect for the 'inbetween' ones)

If you ever wanted to dog sports you could so get a PEN/ILP number as a lab.

I think it depends on the dog. Trey looks absolutely great for over eleven years and Nikki shows her age a lot. They're the same breed. Of course that could be the quality of breeding too. Though there is something really sweet about a gray faced senior dog.

I had a 12 year old Westie come in today that still looked like a puppy.

I have no idea. There was a 15 year old Border Collie at the vet's office the other day and I wouldn't have guesed her to be much more than a year old.

In my experience I have seen 15 year old Pomeranians that look like they are still pups I think it very much depends on the quality of care they've recieved throughout their lives. The smaller breeds usually have a longer lifespan, therefore age a bit better than the larger breeds.

I know of quite a few people in Missouri specifically with Catahoulas, so apparently they aren't too rare in the area. If I were putting his breed down, I'd list him as a Catahoula mix. But, that's just me.

really Catahoula mix? I wouldn't have guessed that. This boy is all brindle... I've never seen an all brindle Catahoula or even Catahoula mix. Any idea if part catahoula on what the other part could be?

There are brindle Catahoulas.

Check the breed standard for Catahoulas, and see how well his features fit. He may even be a purebred. But, if I had to guess another breed, I'd most likely say Labrador.
