~*Shell*~ Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My friend's little rescued boy is one of the strangest looking dogs I think I've ever met - I was wondering if anyone had any guesses as to what he is. We've been trying to work it out for the last couple of years. We've guessed everything from corgi to german shepherd to kelpie to sibe so if anyone else has any ideas, she'd love to know what you think! Knoxxy: He's built like a tank, carries his tail over his back and has really short legs. We're guessing half corgi because of the build but he's so solid and strong!

Nevafollo Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah I was going to say corgi...umm not sure what else was thinking beagle then was thinking sheppard for some reason...no idea really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 No idea, other than corgi. Did you use the 50mm for these pics, whatever, I love the DOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mim Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Pembroke corgi for sure. Don't think he's crossed with anything, just a BYB corgi. ETA Actually looking again I can really see Vallhund in there too...Not sure if there are many valls in Sydney though so it could be unlikely...Gosh he looks very vall-ish though! His ears and skull look like a vallhund but then again valls look similar to corgis so he could just be a corgi. Send him here so I can check him out in the flesh (and kidnap him!)

I agree with you Mim, looks pure (badly bred) but pure all the same. Cute little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use the 50mm for these pics, whatever, I love the DOF I did use the 50mm - I'm so happy with the 1.4. These shots were taken at about 8pm! Pembroke corgi for sure.

To me he seems too wide and he's got a funny backend. Thanks for the imput guys - I might suggest they get the test done for him and see if it can work out what he is!

PuddleDuck Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think Beagle X Corgi, we used to have a beagle cross cattle dog that had the exact same colouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 There's a dog near me that looks like a GSD but it's the same size as a Corgi, it's so weird . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Great shots, and the lens is fantastic, and definately Corgi there - you can get tri color corgis, here is one http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/profile.asp?dog=14854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Lots of pembrokes have his markings, they are red-headed tris. Here's a link to show you what they look like http://www.pembrokecorgi.org/colors_RHT.html Did you happen to snap any full body shots, side on?

~*Shell*~ Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'll have to get one Mim - to me he's too big to be pure. He's just a wierd looking dog in general but he's got a lovely personality and he is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
