Guess my mix.

[Guida]

I came here many months ago traing to find out my dog's breed or mix.
My dog came from a shelter and they had no idea of what he was and because he was baby it was even harder.

Back then, I heard from you many possibities, but as he as change so much...

I would like to hear your opinions again... But this time you could call it a game as I think I know is breed (not pure but very close to it).
... a remember... most of you said this dog was a german shepard mix :lol:

what an adorable baby!
he looks like a soft coated wheaten terrier mix to me.
but wowsers, the cuteness is making me blind!!!!!! :o :lol:

I would agree with a Wheaton Terrier Mix although briard might be possible too although from size of the dog I lean more towards the Wheaton. But not sure about mixed with what. Cute little guy.

[ellieangel]

Yup I would say Wheaton too :)

he's gorgeous whatever he is :)

[Guida]

No one as guessed the breed I'm thinking for him.
I will ad that is an european breed and also some more things:
- Is fur was never cut or stilled, it

[imported_Kat]

wow what a change! I would have to go with wheaten or Briard mix :wink:

If you had put your money on the Catalan Sheepdog you would have won.

In Catalan the name is Gos d'Atura Catala. And yes It's a rare spanish breed... but did I mencioned I was in Portugal... just across the border with Spain?

This is the full picture of the pure breed, that I took from the internet. He's a little diferente from the dogs that are on this site breeds list, but he was the cover from spanish magazine dedicated to the breed, and because of that I think he must be a good exemple of the breed.

Snoopy is waiting :D

HI Guida, Snoopy has gotten big!! I wanted to see some puppy pictures of him as a reminder, so I looked up your old posts

[url]http://forum.dogomania.com/viewtopic.php?p=139050[/url]

and

[url]http://forum.dogomania.com/viewtopic.php?p=144290[/url]

but all the puppy pictures are gone. It looks like you thought it was the same breed in April though. I would've thought it was a Briard mix, too (that was my immediate guess). Many you could get in contact with some of the sheepdog breeders and see what they think?

[Guida]

Actualy I'm already participating of a Gos d'Atura Catala forum (in spanish), they have seen many pictures of my Snoopy and they think that he's an almost pure Gos. And some of the members do some breeding (not professionaly, it's funny because the owners of the new pups are becaming members of the forum to).

You can see here the forum photo albums of the forum members.
