    Nala's breed?

    I've been thinking about making a thread about this for a while now. the more and more I look at her I see Greyhound.
    I know for sure Lab.



    Her deep chest, her narrow head, the defined "bump" on the back of her head, her long long legs, her love for running, her skinny waist, the way she hold her ears when they're back... and much more.

    She has the hyperness of a Lab, but the gentleness of a Greyhound.

    What do you think she looks like?




    (she's the one in the front)


    I'm sure you all have seen plenty of pictures to base your opinion on, but I thought I'd post a few here.

    Not that her breed matters a bit to me, I'm just curious.

    LOL...how ironic. I was just thinking about this a few minutes ago, and than I saw this.

    Definately Lab. Maybe Great Dane? [Like you mentioned before.] Or maybe some Coonhound, because of her floppy ears? I also see some Greyhound characteristics in her...she sort of reminds me of Tasha.

    Whatever she is, she's the cutest mutt I've seen.

    I have been thinking for a while she had some kind of sight hound in her. Those long slender legs are a tell tale sign. She beautiul and a great complent for Simba.

    I also see greyhound in her, especially her chest and stomach like you said!

    Thanks for your opinions and compliments everyone.


    She reminds me of Tasha as well... more like Tasha reminds me of a mixture of Sim & Nala.

    Now that you mention Greyhound, I can see some characteristics. I can also see Great Dane. Definately lab.

    Like Julie said, whatever she is, she is the cutest mutt!

    She likes to run...but is she fast? Greyhounds are racers...and very fast dogs..
    She's a cutie tho.. love the floppy ears!

    I've always thought she looked like a lab and great dane mix. I guess maybe I can see a bit of greyhound also or actually maybe even doberman they also have that deep chest and slender rib cage. All I know is she sure is one pretty girl with a great set of legs I can't wait to see her and Simba in person!!

    those signs dont really mean anything. happy is a pur bred border collie but her structure is almost exactly like a greyhounds. long legs, long narrow nose, rose ears, big chest, very tiny tummy. she LOVES to race etc.. and there is no greyhound whatsoever in her. in all likleyhood Nala is a feild lab mix.

    But you KNOW that Happy is a purebred Border Collie, so of course she couldn't have Greyhound in her.

    Nala on the otherhand, we can only guess with her breed/s. So, you never know...she could have Greyhound or something else in her. Seeing her pictures makes me think of it more and more.

    The fact that everyone's who's seen here IRL have said "Is she part Greyhound?" or something along those lines surely mean something.


    I don't see any resemblance to a greyhound in Happy.

    WTF is a feild lab?

    greyhound people have thought happy was a greyhound puppy lol. I have had to correct so many people who just assume that happy is a greyhound puppy.

    a feild = working lab
    AKC lab = the really bulky labs in the show ring.

    Eh, whatever. I still think she looks part Greyhound.




    I still don't see how "Greyhound people" could think happy looks part greyhound. I don't see it at all.

    you dont see it because most pics I post of her here, I take right after grooming her, so her hair covers it up.

    I seem to only have 3 pics that you can actually see her structire clearly in. and hey it suprises me too how many people think happy is a greyhound lol I mean she truley has a greyhounds structure but her hair kinda gives it away lol this is the best pic I could find that you can see her structure somewhat clearly.. (she is hunkering in the pic so you dont see how long her legs are, but I will have professanal pics of her running soon enugh)
