What Is The Breed Of My Dog?

I'm updating the registration details of one of my dogs and I'm stumped as to his breed though I'm pretty certain he's a crossbreed. I've spent the past 2 hours looking at website photos and I'm none the wiser.

Zag is a 12kg terrier, about the size of a small Kelpie but with much shorter legs. He has a long curly tan and white wire coat and has very long upright ears and a longish face.....doesn't sound like a good mix of features but is in fact very handsome.

I'd be really grateful if someone could shed some light - my camera isn't working so I can't post a snap.

without a photo its impossible to say - I would register him as a terrier mix.

Thanks Sheree e4.......I suggested Terrier cross to the council but they seem to want something more specific - he was listed as an Australian Terrier when he was 5 months old but doesn't look like one now.

could you put him down as a wire haired foxy cross? sounds like that may fit a bit better than an aussie terrier?

Thanks for your advice mackiemad. I have just spoken to the council again and they are now prepared to accept Terrier Cross.

When my camera comes back from repair I'll post a photo of Zag - I'll be interested to see what people think he looks like.

Thanks again to those who replied.
