Rescued Dog ... What Breed(s)?

[lute]

I think Shiba Inu and Shepherd. Possibly Chow in there too. I definatly don't see any Siberian Husky in her. She is definatly a cutie pie!

she's a beautiful girl - but it might be best for your kitties to find a home with her where kitties aren't around. You don't want anything to happen to her (ie being pts for attacking a cat) or your kitties.
She's out of the situation she was in and now she can heal.
I was actually thinking she might have some coyote in her, but that's my opinion for what its worth. She is gorgeous.

Staci, I thought she looked like a coyote too! I was even afraid that if she were ever allowed to roam free (which she WAS before coming here) that she might be mistaken for one and shot!

You are right. She does favor a coyote. I think she also favors a german shepherd.

Some dogs just can't ever be taught to not chase cats. It could be that she's still new and the cats are something different...if that's it then I think you have a pretty good chance with them getting along one day, but if it's the prey drive in her then I don't know if you'd be able to train her and teach her that the cats are yours and not there for her to chase!

I've had a lot of dgos that weren't good with cats and we weren't able to have any cats until a few years ago actually becsause of the big dogs. Sadly though all 4 of our big dogs have passed away and we have 3 cats now. We couldn't have ever had cats back a long time ago...our dogs just had too much prey drive, which wasn't their fault or didn't mean anything was wrong with them it was just they couldn't be trusted with cats or for that matter any kind of small animals besides a dog

I hope your girl starts adjusting well with the cats soon, but if she doesn't I'm sure you could find her a good home w/out cats/kittens. She sure is beautiful. I totally understand about you not wanting to take chances with her and the cats though.

I knew we had lots of coyotes around here, but this article was just two days ago!!!

and also keep in mine that regardless of what she's mixed with. If she has that high of a prey drive, you also have smaller dogs too.
I do hope she finds a great home. She's too cute not to!

How wonderful of you to take this sweet girl in. Thank heavens for that wonderful neighbor.

I'm thinking Collie/GSD possibly. Collie/coyote? Husky/GSD?

I agree that this prey drive of hers is probably due to being chained outside and starved. It very well could go away after knowing she'll be well cared for.

I was thinking maybe that dog is a Shiba/husky mix.. possibly shephard.. He sure is a cutie. I love those ears.

[kimlovescats]

She wasn't chained. She was free-roaming, with no tags / collar. I think the "lady" was hoping she would just run off.

[crow_noir]

Oh how lovely. :sarcasm:

King's owner's boyfriend did that with him, hoping animal control would catch him. That's what one of the lady's children told me. (And i let him back into his yard in the morning on my way to school.)

Beautiful dog, I would give her some time. Maybe some training would help. Cats are pretty fast when they sense danger.
I see Shiba but not sure what else, those tulip ears and her tail have me puzzled, maybe a bit of shepherd and some kind of hound?
Whatever, very pretty.
