Guess the Breed Fun!!

[emilysgk]

Ok...I know what he is. Some of you may get it right off too. I cant give a hint right now though. He is full grown in this picture at 1.5yrs. His name is Melvin. After someone guesses right, I will share a pic of him when he was at his *teen* stage, they are hilarious!!! So what kind of dog could he be?

Cocker / Japanese Chin?

Cocker / Pekesgnese? (I have no idea how to spell that :p )

[emilysgk]

Nope, neither of them... ;) When you find out, you may not believe me. LOL

Is he part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

[Alysser]

Caliver King Charles spaniel?? :confused:

[areias]

cavalier/chihuahua?

[emilysgk]

Yes he is a very poorly breed Cavalier. I had the unfortunate experience of working at a kennel that was borderline puppy mill. He was the only survivor in his litter and going down fast, I took him at 2 wks old and saved him. There were a few dogs there that were still within the standard, but many were not anymore. She breed anyways. There were times she was guessing on parents. Its was horrible. She had over 50 dogs, Cavaliers, Frenchies, Boston Terriors, Pugs, and a couple Rotts too. I was just beginning my part to try and close the place down and kind of got caught in action. Its very unfortunate, breed groupls have been trying to get them for years. So here are his teen pics as promised though..... LOL

I knew it wouldnt be a super hard one...but being that he is so wrong for his breed, it would confuse some of you.

I never would have guessed he's a purebred! But good for you for saving him :)

Okay this is my sisters dog. She got him from the local humane society, he was brought in because the previous owner didnt realize how big he would be. He is a mix. These pix are decieving, he is bigger than he apppears in them. I snapped these while over there today. So I thought I would throw it up here. He has some skin issues because of allergies....In case you notice it. So here is Duke:

Great Dane/Boxer?

Great Dane/Pit Bull?

I can kind of see Great Dane, though he doesn't look tall enough (judging by the last picture).

[emilysgk]

He does have Great Dane in him. He looks small in these picks for whatever reason, but he is actually a very large dog. A side view of him would have been good, he looks dane for sure that way. Now he has more to him though.... Not Pit, nor Boxer

[Giselle]

Ahh, I thought GD / Boxer as well! Well, how about GD / American Bulldog?

P.S. It's Pekingese ;)

[emilysgk]

No its not bulldog either. I know you guys are looking at the head guessing...thats the main part that shows the other breed. Large boxy head.... I will give more hints after a few more guesses

[emilysgk]

Not sure if others will be replying, thought I would throw some hints out there for you all though. The other breed mixed in him was originally made by mixing it with bulldog. It has some wrinkles around the face with a large broad muzzle with somewhat thick hanging type lips.... I hope that helps some more. If not I will add more hints later.

is Duke a Dane/Bullmastiff?

[emilysgk]

I knew I made it too easy! LOL I through the hint out that was quite obvious. :) Thats OK though. He is the best dog too....for those who like big dogs. He thinks he is a lap dog of sort and insists on sitting with you in some way. Oh and of course a bed hog too. lol He is really sweet and gentle too, not graceful though ;) He came to them just perfect, the previous owners took good care of him, but he was simply too big. He has sensitive skin though and its been tough. He is starting to clear up now though. There vet told them to wash him with regular Dawn dish soap? It takes care of the fleas, dont irritate his skin and he is indeed getting better. Strange...Never heard of that before. Its sure helping. He was losing tones of hair, flaky, itchy, smelled so bad! He dont scratch like he did, skin is clearing up hair growing back and he barey smells, just a little still. Anyone else ever heard of doing this?

I can't see the pics at all.
