What do you think would be some wierd mixes of dogs? For example: a collie with a Dalmation! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif Would they be long white haired with black spots?? Or a Beagle and a Cocker Spanial?? What is your say? Let us know! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
Oooo....Ooooo....trying to stop myself......but can't! You only have to look at some of the pedigree breeds to see what terrible inflictions we are already imposing on dogs.... and according to every Kennel Club in the world, that is fine....
Sorry, I have ruined what is meant to be a bit of fun so please carry on, just that I can't help it ......
To try and make amends, how about a Saluki crossed with a Corgi, Basset Hound or Doxxie?
The strangest I have seen was a rottie/basset mix. So ugly he was cute!
I've heard people claim they've seen Dachsunds mixed with Great Danes
The strangest mix I've seen on Dog of the Day has been a Corgi/Chihuahua mix. Maybe I just took special notice of that one because I'm always on the lookout for Corgis.
Anyone else remember any odd mixes that were Dogs of the Day? I'd like to see pictures. (And Wendy, if you see this, I'd like to see pictures of your Beagle/Corgi mixes.)
We have had many mixed breeds on Dog of the Day, but the one that stands out in my mind as an unlikely combination was the Shih Tzu/ Golden Retriever mix, Maxwell - see http://DogoftheDay.com/archive/2000/March/09.html . Some people thought he was so cute, they wrote us asking where they could get one just like him! A lot of mixed breeds, of course, come from shelters and have that mysterious past, so we guess! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
Maxwell is too cute!! That is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen!
I saw a beagle/GSD mix, it was a beautiful brindle dog, and you would never guess what its mix was by looking. Have seen a Corgi/Golden retriever mix, also very adorable!
How about a pug mixed with a poodle or a pug/dachshund? Wonder what sort of face it'd have?
What about a bulldog with a collie? What a weird head that one would have. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
I didn't remember Maxwell so immediately logged on and was taken aback by that adorable bundle of fur! Not enough adoring adjectives to describe that face. I would hope the dachsund of the dachsund/Great Dane mix would be the male....you get my drift. Would it be a Great Dachsund? A Dachsdane? A Danedachs? ..Oh well...
What about a GSD/Malamute/Pyrenees?
I once saw a picture of a Lab/German Shepard mix in some dog book I was reading. Poor thing looked like he was in costume, his body was that of a German Shepard sporting a black Lab head.
I saw a Picture of a saint Bernhard/Basset hound Mix it looked like a Saint Bernhard with short legs and a long body
I once saw a english bulldog mixed with a golden retriever. It looked like your basic GR but it was a bit more buff and was a little shorter. One thing that really popped out at me was it had an underbite. Its bottom teeth came up over the top jaw. I saw pics of the parents two very beautiful dogs. If I could mix anything I would mix the Dogue de Bordeaux (Turner and Hooch)/Beagle/Pit bull/Jack Russell Terrier/Greyhound. Wouldn't that be interesting!
A girl I work with has a cocker/pug. He has the body of a cocker and the face of a pug!! Another just got a dalmation/black lab(her husband calls it a labradation or the dalmador!) He looks just like a black lab excpet his little belly is whit with black spots!!!
I saw in the humane society listing they had a GSD/chihauhua mix. I didn't see what that looked like!!!
WHERE there is a will there is a WAY!!

A friend of mine has a black lab/dalmation and he is truly one of the most intelligent, biddable and all round great dogs I have ever met. He has a great trainer in my friend which is just as well as he wouldn't take inactivity, physical or mental, well at all!
OK-- I was just cruising a Corgi rescue site and almost every dog they had was a Corgi mix with something. One of their success stories was a Corgi and a Greyhound!!!!! Body of a corgi and the brindle of a greyhound!!!
Well, I've seen some really cute mixes, but there's a purebred that beats most of them, it is the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen. It looks like a mix between a Basset Hound and an Irish Wolfhound. They're really cute. I have had an Australian Cattle Dog mix that my eldest and I have debated about for some time. She says the other part was Dalmation, I say German Short-haired Pointer, but the girl we got her from said Cattle Dog/Beagle. She was very striking looking and led us to get into the Cattle Dog breed. We also have a Jack Russell Terrier Mix and I say the other part is Pug due to the girth size of her barrel. I love mixed breeds.
My parents found a beagle mixed pup in the middle of a hi-way during a snow storm. My mother was 7 months pregnant with me. They rescued the dog and named him Lucky. Lucky was with us for almost 16 years and that was the best pet we had. He was extremely devoted to my family. Once my father (who is hard of hearing) went for a walk in the woods with Lucky. Lucky started barking but my father couldn't see what the dog was barking at. He tried to continue down the path but Lucky grabbed his pant leg and began tugging. My father then knew something was wrong and looked around more closely. There in the path ahead was a huge rattlesnake! My father didn't hear the warning rattles and surely would have been bitten had he continued. I currently have a Basset/Lab mix. Solid black with a lab head and a Basset body. He's very active, loves the water, and is a great, but sometimes annoying, companion to my pug!
Genia,
Lucky sounds like he was one very special dog.
It must have been fate on that hi-way that night that your mom came upon him.
It just amazes me what some dogs can do.
Aren't dogs great...they will lay their lives down for you without even thinking about it. My vote is for our dog Tigger...he's a Husky/Pitbull mix.
i have a bassett/collie heis 7monthes old he is one of the best looking dogs i have ever seen and is admired and petted wherever wego
My neighbor has a chihuahua and dachsund mix! A chiweenie! He is actually very adorable!Quote:

So I think my uncles female Golden Retriever and my male Shih Tzu had relations, do you happen to have more photos and videos of Maxwell playing? Pictures of him when hes a puppy and when he's fully grown?Quote:

I think most dalmatian mixes have a lot of black. The spots turn into patches a lot rather than the nicely pronounced purebred spots.
As for beagle/spaniel mixes, they are very popular and still don't come out consistant in size, shape, color, or coat.
I have a Great Dane/German Shepherd mix. He's loveable, high energy and BIG. Currently 11 months at 110 pounds. I would not suggest breeding these two breeds. I have no doubt he'll have issues with bloat and he's a very active dog. I'm sure he'll have joint issues in the future as well considering how big he is at just 11 months.

Aww, what a handsome boy! You know how to avoid bloat, right? As much as it can be ....Quote:
