Emergency!!! Wot Dog Is This????

[little_critter]

Hello,

I bought a puppy of some gypsys (ok, not the best thing to do but i did)
It is a mongrel puppy and was quite small when i got him. I have no idea what the dogs parents were!!! something like a great dane and a elephant i think!! seriously it is th biggest dog i can immagine!!!!
he stands 1 metre high at th top of his back. he has dark silvery grey hair about 4 inches long , has yellow/green eyes and ears like a wolf. he actualy looks like he is a massive wolf. he looked like a silver fox when he was a puppy. he is now 3 yrs old and stopped growing.

anyone got any ideas what this dogs breeding could be????? i am seriously considering that he is part wolf!! :eek: please give me any info or your guess what this dogs could be!!!! unfortuanatl;y i dont have a camera that can go with my computer else i would take some photos of him, im going to try and get one so i can show you!!

th good thing is he is gentle and well trained and i have a massive enclosed feild where i can watch him.

thanks!! please reply!

love little critter (beki) and the unusual hound 'full moon'

Sounds like an Irish wolfhound or a deerhound mix, perhaps a lurcher of sorts.

Wolfhound (they were bred to hunt wolves, they aren't part wolf): http://www.centralpets.com/animals/mammals/dogs/dog282.html

from the sounds of the size I was thinking Irish Wolfhound too. Do you have a picture so we can give a better opinion?

Maybe it is a GSD and wolf mix? Just a guess..Maybe a GSD/Wolf?Irish Wolfhound mix!:eek:

Good luck!-

he sounds massive. he may just be a mix of german shepherd and irish wolfhound. we could help you more if we had some pictures.

The traditional gypsy dog is a lurcher: a collie crossed with a sighthound (wolfhound will do). That could be where it gets the combination of ears and fur and body.
