The Shelter tricked me - Pics included

[wanwan1007]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Pet Talk. My name is Wanda. My husband and I adopted a 4 month old puppy from the shelter on 2/26/2010. The shelter told us he was an Alaskan Malamute. Well, I don't think he is an Alaskan Malamute. His name is Tippy. He is the funniest dog with so much personality. Of course it doesn't really matter what he is anymore because he's just mine I love him but I'm curious as to what you think he might be. I'll tell you what my vet thought after I hear your views. I don't want to influence your opinion

We had him about 6 weeks when these pics were taken.

These pics are in the backyard and the breakfast nook where he loves to lay out.

i totally agree with you i dont think that he is alaska malamute...to me he looks more like a collie mix but i cant wait to hear what your vet says i will be waiting

Collie mix for sure! Those ears, that muzzle, what a cute face!

What is his name?

He's adorable. I'm not knowledgeable about breeds, but I would guess collie mix, also. His hair is so soft and silky looking.

Shepherd/Collie mix??? Whatever he is, he sure is CUTE!!!

looks shepherd collie to me

guessing shepherd/aussie, maybe a little golden mixed in?
We had adopted a 4 month old puppy who was listed as a "Bernese Mountain Dog", so I read up about them. Um, I don't think she had a drop of Berner in her, LOL! Best guess was rottie/aussie mix. Like you, we loved her to pieces and wouldn't have traded her for the world. Your Tippy is one gorgeous sweetheart!

looks like a part malamute - as long as you love him and he loves you, that's all that matters
