Is there seriously no thread for mutts, rescues, and canine bastards? No Island for unloved dogs?

This guy has been my unwilling (and sometimes unwitting) subject for a number of years. Some border collie ... likely. Beagle ... judging from his howl. Looks a little like a golden too. Hell, I don't care where he came from. He knows my name, and marvels at why I'd want to collect his poop in a bag. Can't fault that judgment one bit.

Bring it you lovers of canine bastards.

I swear if I see one pure bread posted in here ....

I'll play!

Found her in last july, on a back road with less 7/9kgs. Brought her home, fed her, took her to the vet, tried to find the owner/s. Nobody showed up so we kept her!

The day i found her:

All of my doggies have been mutts - the most grateful and loving little darlings you ever saw! I'm looking forward to this thread.

All of my dogs, except 1, have been mutts. (and the 1 purebred was still a pound puppy).

My current dog, the day we adopted him:

regardless of breed or authenticity a dog is definitely a man's best friend.....to prove my point.


Hypothetical....both your wife and dog got locked in the trunk of your car for say.... 5 minutes. When you open the trunk who will be wagging their tail because they are glad to see you? Need I say more?

Sometimes I wish I had the memory retention of a goldfish.

This is my beautiful mutt (a few hunting breeds mixed together).

Sassy has been with us almost a year. Someone abandoned a litter of puppies at the foot of our mountain land. My wife and I adopted them all.

Lifetime Mutt care giver myself.
Hmm,. I'll have to actually upload some images of the newest ones.

Lillie. Part Corgi (maybe of the Cardigan variety) and part some other herding dog - perhaps blue heeler. All mischief and orneriness in compact, low slung frame. Pretty good at sounding alerts, herding the family, and lots of fun.

Sherlock has mainly been posted in the German Shepherd forums, but since a DNA test told me that he's mainly German Shepherd, Rottweiler, and Chow I think he will fit in nicely in this thread. After all, I couldn't find a specific thread for the GermanChowWeiler.

Meet Lily.

She's a 10-year-old 65lb black dog that we adopted in December. We were a bit concerned about her age when we adopted her, but she is a sweet and loving girl. She is a joy to have around.

We've been told that she's a lab x rough collie. We've also been told that she's husky x german shepherd x lab.

We lean towards mostly german shepherd x lab or border collie. She doesn't have webbed toes, and she doesn't retrieve. She has mostly herding instincts (which drives our seven-year-old son nuts!).

She's a challenging subject. She is easily spooked. I do like the photo below, however. It took lots of encouragement and a lot of Benny Bully's.
