I love this dog! He is on petfinder. His name is King and he is said to be a Irish Wolfhound mix. I don't see ANY Irish wolfhound at all. I see Great dane/ Borzoi/Saluki. What do you see? Here his pictures:

He looks like a Great Dane/Border Collie miz to me.He's really cute though! :)
I knew that tail looked familiar! I couldn't put my hand on it. Ok I am agreeing with you! Thanks for helping.
he looks VERY mixed to me, like Niņo, too far to really tell
i think border collie and dalmatian.
I DEFINITELY see Borzoi/Saluki because of his arched back (from the pics you posted) but after that, NO clue!
um, dalmatians I am pretty sure are the only breeds to genetically be spotted. All the rest are ticked or patches. Learning Dalmatian genetics kind of simplifies it for all the rest of the breeds, because most can be applied to others. If the spots appear at birth clearly in any breed it is a patch. If it is that small it is tickmarks. This is shown in APBTs, (click here to see a ticked marked dog with patches, he is a registered [UKC] APBT) Australian cattle dogs, English setters, and many other. A patched dog such as THIS dog is a dog with patches. There for, it is not a mix of dal, at least anywhere in about 4 generations! Dalmatian spots seem to be a mutation of ticking

Looks like a Dane MIX / Border Collie
I agree there, I was going to post that exact mix!Quote:

I do believe he has some border collie and without knowing the height or weight and no reference in the picture , it is hard to say what else he may be mix with though Dane is a good possibility or some hound mix
I agree with OntarioGreys. There are very very few intact Borzois and Salukis running around the United States, so I highly doubt the dog is a Zoi/Saluki mix. Plus, nearly all sighthounds possess that "arched" back, including Iggies and Whippies ;] The dog is most definitely part sighthound, but I would not say Zoi or Saluki. On the contrary, there are literally hundreds of thousands of Greyhounds, many of which come from racetracks, and, from time to time, an intact ex-racer does make it out. We're trying to prevent that more and more, but the inevitable does happen. Grey/BC mixes are also quite prevalent down in my area, so I can definitely see both breeds in King.
For those reasons, I'd say this dog is a Greyhound/Border Collie/Dane mix.
That's exactley what I thought when I saw the pic of him! very nice looking dog, by the way! :)Quote:

the story of my life!
The body looks like a great dane/border collie but the face looks like some sort of sight hound.
Hes a cutie though!
